IKO Roof Replacement in Orlando: What to Know First

IKO roof replacement in Orlando typically runs $7,800 – $14,600 for a standard single-family home, depending on the IKO line you choose and the condition of the decking underneath. Most full replacements take two to four days once materials arrive, and we give you a written price before we strip a single shingle. If you own an IKO roof that’s reached the end of its life, or you’re considering IKO for a replacement, this page tells you what actually matters here in Central Florida.

Call (850) 303-7235

We’re Tilehurst Roofing Orlando, an independent IKO service provider. That means we install and replace IKO roofing systems, but we don’t work for the manufacturer. We work for you. Greg Holloway walks every IKO roof himself before we quote a number, so when you call (850) 303-7235, you’re talking to a company that knows exactly how these products behave after years of Orlando sun and afternoon downpours.

How IKO Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Every shingle brand has its own personality when it fails. We see thousands of roofs across Orlando, and IKO’s failure patterns are distinct. Here’s what we find on IKO roofs that have reached replacement age, and what we do about it.

• Cambridge and Dynasty granule loss after heavy UV exposure. IKO’s architectural lines, especially Cambridge and the heavier Dynasty, use a granule coating that can shed faster in high-UV climates than some competing architectural shingles. The real issue isn’t cosmetic. It’s that the asphalt beneath the granules is now exposed to direct sunlight, which accelerates drying, cracking, and eventual water intrusion. In Orlando, where the sun beats down nine months a year, we see IKO Cambridge roofs at 15 – 18 years showing granule loss that GAF or CertainTeed roofs of the same age don’t always show. The fix is almost always a full roof replacement rather than a patch, because once the granule layer is compromised across the roof, you’re chasing the problem shingle by shingle.
• Nordic and Marathon curling at the eaves before the field fails. IKO’s three-tab lines like Nordic and Marathon have a thinner profile than the architectural lines. At the roof edge, where heat from the attic meets the already hot Florida air, these shingles curl upward and lose their seal strip. The cause is thermal cycling. The symptom is shingles that lift in the wind and let rain in at the worst possible location. When we see this on an IKO roof, we evaluate whether the decking at the eaves has taken water. Years of minor intrusion in Orlando’s storm season is what rots the first row of plywood.
• Seal strip failure on Camelot II after high-wind events. Camelot II is a thicker architectural shingle, but its seal strip is heat-activated, and if the roof was installed during Orlando’s cooler winter months, the seal may never have fully engaged. The first hurricane-force wind event lifts shingles from the middle of the field. Homeowners call us after the first good storm of the summer wondering why their fifteen-year-old IKO roof lost shingles when the neighbor’s different-brand roof didn’t. The cause is installation temperature, not product defect, but the repair is the same: replace the roof and make sure the new shingles get a proper seal interval in warm weather.
• Decking rot under IKO roofing on older Orlando bungalows. In neighborhoods like the Milk District, where we’ve done significant work on older bungalows, the original IKO roof was often installed over plank decking or thin plywood from the 1960s. Florida’s humidity combined with decades of minor leaks means the decking is frequently compromised when we strip the old shingles. A roofer who quotes a number without walking the roof can’t tell you about this until the shingles come off. We factor decking replacement into our written estimate before we start, so you don’t get hit with a change order mid-job.
• Fastener pop-through on IKO’s thinner profiles. IKO’s lighter architectural and three-tab shingles are more sensitive to overdriven nails than thicker lines from GAF or Owens Corning. When the nail head sits slightly below the shingle surface, the shingle can crack at that point after enough expansion and contraction. We find nails visible at the surface of IKO roofs more often than on other brands. During replacement, our crews are careful with nail depth on the new product, because a nail head left proud or driven too deep on an IKO shingle becomes a failure point in five to seven years.

Our IKO Roof Replacement Process

Every IKO roof replacement in Orlando follows the same sequence. We don’t skip steps, and we don’t leave you wondering what happens next.

1. 1
   Call and walkthrough. You call (850) 303-7235. We schedule a time that works for you, and Greg walks the roof himself before anyone quotes a dollar figure. We also check the attic for signs of decking rot and ventilation issues that shorten the life of any new IKO roof.
2. 2
   Written estimate with line items. You get a written price in your hands before any work starts. It includes decking replacement measured in sheets, underlayment type, drip edge, ridge cap, flashing, and the specific IKO product line we recommend. No verbal number. No price change at the door.
3. 3
   Material decision: IKO or a different brand. We install IKO as an independent contractor, and we also install GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. If your home’s pitch, exposure, or budget points to a different manufacturer, we tell you that straight. You decide. The price doesn’t change regardless of which of the seven brands we carry fits best.
4. 4
   Replacement day. Our background-checked, uniformed crew arrives in the window we gave you. We strip the old IKO roofing, inspect and replace damaged decking, install new underlayment and drip edge, then lay the new shingles. We protect your landscaping and walk the property with a magnet roller at the end of the job to catch any stray nails.
5. 5
   Inspection and written guarantee. We walk the finished roof with you before we leave. You get a written guarantee in hand that day, not mailed two weeks later. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work for a full year: if anything isn’t right, we return and make it right at no charge.

What IKO Roof Replacement Costs in Orlando

Here’s what we quote for IKO roof replacement on typical Orlando homes. These ranges assume a single-family house between 1,500 and 2,800 square feet with a walkable roof pitch.

• IKO Nordic or Marathon three-tab: $7,800 – $9,600
• IKO Cambridge architectural: $9,200 – $11,800
• IKO Dynasty architectural: $10,400 – $12,900
• Decking replacement (per sheet): $65 – $85, depending on thickness

What moves the price? The pitch of your roof, the number of sheets of decking that need replacement, whether we’re pulling a second layer of old shingles, and the size of the flashing work around chimneys and skylights. A steep roof in College Park takes longer and costs more than a simple gable in Conway. We tell you the price before we touch the roof – and we mean it.

Why Orlando Homeowners Call Tilehurst Roofing Orlando for IKO Work

A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our IKO work carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, so if a single detail is off in the first year, we return and fix it. And our crews know this product the way a mechanic knows a specific engine, because we’ve replaced enough IKO roofing across Orlando to know exactly what we’re going to find when we pull the first shingle.
