Tamko Roof Replacement in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We replace Tamko roofs in Fort Lauderdale as an independent Tamko service provider, and most full replacements take 5 to 7 working days once materials land. A standard Tamko architectural shingle re-roof on a single-story Broward home typically runs $11,000 to $16,000, depending on decking condition and roof complexity. This page is for Tamko owners who need straight answers on failure modes, replacement costs, and what actually happens during a tear-off. Call (754) 354-8628 for a written quote before any work starts.
We are Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale, founded in 2000 and part of the Relay Home Co. family. Dylan Pace leads our crew, and every Tamko job we take follows The Relay Visibility Guarantee: written pricing, photo documentation, and a live arrival time you can track.
How Tamko Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Heritage shingle granule loss. Tamko’s Heritage line is common on Fort Lauderdale homes built between 2005 and 2015, and we regularly see premature granule shedding on southern exposures. The cause is usually UV breakdown of the asphalt layer combined with the relentless salt air. By the time granules collect in gutters, the shingle mat is exposed and the roof is past patching. We recommend full replacement when granule loss covers more than 30% of the roof surface. A targeted patch on a Heritage roof with this condition is throwing money at a teardown.
- StormGuard leak paths at valleys. Tamko’s StormGuard underlayment is a solid product, but we have pulled back shingles on older Fort Lauderdale installs and found it lapped incorrectly at valley intersections. Water follows the gap, rots the decking beneath, and by the time you see a ceiling stain the damage is structural. Our fix always includes replacing the affected decking and re-lapping the underlayment to Tamko’s current spec, not just covering the hole.
- Titan XT sealant strip separation. The Titan XT line uses a modified asphalt sealant that can lose its bond in Fort Lauderdale’s high-humidity, high-heat summers. Wind-driven rain gets under the shingle tabs and the roof starts leaking without any visible storm damage. If a Titan XT roof is more than 12 years old and we find sealant failure across multiple slopes, replacement is cheaper in the long run than repeated spot sealing.
- Deck rot hidden under Tamko Elite installations. The Elite series has a heavier fiberglass mat that holds up well, but older installs in Fort Lauderdale often skipped proper attic ventilation. Trapped heat and moisture rots the plywood from beneath while the shingles above look fine. When we tear off an Elite roof, we find deck rot in roughly one out of three cases. Our quotes include a per-sheet decking replacement price in writing, so there’s no surprise add-on when we open it up.
- Fastener overdrive on architectural lines. We see this across Tamko’s architectural series when original installers used guns set too hot. The nail head punctures the shingle mat, and the small puncture becomes a water entry point after years of thermal cycling. We catch this during the tear-off, but if you are seeing rust streaks on the underside of your sheathing, this is the likely culprit. The fix is a full re-roof with correct fastener depth.

Tear-off, deck repair, and install. We strip the old roof, stabilize or replace decking, install new underlayment, and lay the new shingle system to manufacturer spec. You get before-and-after photos throughout the job.

FAQs
