Tamko Roof Replacement in Orlando: What to Know First
Tamko roof replacement in Orlando typically runs $9,800 to $18,500 for a standard single-family home, depending on the shingle line you choose and the condition of the decking underneath. Most full replacements take two to four days on site, and we work as an independent Tamko service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, which means we’re free to tell you straight when a full replacement beats another repair. If you own a Tamko roof that’s nearing the end of its life or has started failing early, this page tells you what to expect, what it costs, and how to avoid paying twice. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll walk the roof with you before any number is written down.
Key Takeaways
- We replace Tamko roofs with OEM or equivalent-grade materials and document every guarantee in writing.
- Most Orlando Tamko replacements run between $9,800 and $18,500, with architectural shingles on the higher end.
- We inspect the decking, drip edge, and underlayment on every job because those hidden layers decide whether a new Tamko roof lasts 12 years or 25.
- Tilehurst Roofing Orlando is not affiliated with Tamko. We’re an independent roofing contractor that gives you a written price before any work starts, and we answer the phone 24/7.
How Tamko Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Tamko makes a solid shingle, but no shingle survives Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms, July humidity, and UV load without eventually wearing out. Here’s what we actually see on Tamko roofs across Orlando, from College Park to Conway, and what we do about it.
- Heritage Series granule loss. Tamko’s Heritage line is common on Orlando homes built in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The most frequent complaint we hear is granules collecting in the gutters while the shingle surface turns smooth and shiny. That’s the fiberglass mat starting to show, and once that happens, the shingle is past repair. We replace the roof and always check whether the original installer skipped a proper starter strip, which makes the bottom course fail first.
- Laminated shingle delamination on Heritage Woodgate and Rustic Slate. In humid Central Florida air, the adhesive between the two laminated layers of these shingles can soften and let go, especially on south-facing slopes that bake all afternoon. The fix is full replacement with fresh Tamko stock or a comparable upgrade, not caulking or spot repair, which just buys you one more rainy season.
- Storm damage along the ridge and hip lines. The ridge cap on any shingle roof takes the most abuse during Orlando’s summer squalls, and Tamko caps installed with short nails are the first thing we see lifting after a strong storm. We replace the cap with the correct Tamko-matched color and re-nail every section to the decking, not just the previous shingle layer.
- Decking rot hidden by old Tamko shingles. A Tamko shingle only fails where water has been getting underneath it, and by the time you see curling or staining on the ceiling, the OSB or plywood deck underneath is often soft. We inspect every section of decking during tear-off and replace rotted panels before laying the new Tamko system. You’ll see it on the written quote, not as a surprise after tear-off.
- Ventilation-related early aging on Tamko Titan XT and Heritage Premium. These heavier architectural shingles hold heat differently than three-tab. In attics with poor intake ventilation, we see the shingle underside bake from trapped heat, which shortens their life by years. On replacement, we check intake and exhaust ventilation and correct it before the new Tamko shingles go on, because the manufacturer’s own warranty won’t cover heat-related premature failure from a poorly vented attic.

Our Tamko Roof Replacement Process
Every Tamko roof replacement in Orlando follows the same order. No shortcuts, no surprises at the end.
- 1
Walk the roof together. We arrive on time, climb up, and inspect the Tamko shingles, flashing, ridge cap, and drip edge. Greg Holloway walks the roof himself before any number goes in writing. You’ll hear what he found in plain English, not contractor shorthand.
- 2
Written line-item price. Before any work starts, you get a written price that lists the Tamko shingle line or the equivalent substitute, the underlayment, the decking repairs, the drip edge, and every other component. That price doesn’t change unless Orlando’s building inspector requires something the original roof never had.
- 3
Full tear-off and decking inspection. We remove the old Tamko layer down to the decking. Any rotted or delaminated wood is replaced and shown to you before the new underlayment goes down.
- 4
Underlayment, drip edge, and Tamko shingle install. We install synthetic or felt underlayment, new drip edge at the eaves and rakes, then the Tamko shingle system per the manufacturer’s nailing pattern. If you prefer GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed instead, we carry those too and’ll price them side by side.
- 5
Ridge cap, flashing, and cleanup. New Tamko-matched ridge cap goes last, with all the pipe boots, step flashing, and counter-flashing replaced or reset. We run a magnetic sweeper over the yard every day and leave the property cleaner than we found it.
- 6
Written guarantee handed to you. Before the crew leaves, you get the written guarantee, not a promise to mail one later. If anything fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge, under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

AfterWhat Tamko Roof Replacement Costs in Orlando
These are real Orlando numbers, not national averages pulled off a website. Prices depend on roof complexity, decking condition, and shingle grade.
- Tamko Heritage architectural, 1,800 sq ft single-story: $9,800 to $12,500
- Tamko Heritage Premium or Titan XT, same footprint: $11,500 to $15,000
- Full decking replacement added: $2,800 to $5,200 depending on how many panels come out

- Flat roof sections tied into the Tamko slope: $4 to $7 per square foot for the flat portion, depending on system
The thing that moves the price most in Orlando is decking, and you’ll know that number after tear-off, not after the job. We tell you the price before we touch the roof – and we mean it. Call (850) 303-7235 for a free estimate written on the spot.
Why Orlando Homeowners Call Tilehurst Roofing Orlando for Tamko Work
Most people in Orlando who call us have already been burned once. A no-show contractor. A price that changed at the door. A patch job that failed in three months. We built Tilehurst Roofing Orlando, a Kingswell family roofing company founded in 2000, for exactly that homeowner. Every Tamko replacement starts with a written price before any work begins, and every job ends with a written guarantee handed to you before the crew leaves. Our technicians are background-checked and in uniform, and our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you’re weighing Tamko against GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed, we’ll price all of them and let you choose based on facts, not whatever happens to be in our truck. And if the work isn’t done right, we fix it for a full year under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
FAQs
No, switching from Tamko to GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed does not void anything because your original Tamko warranty ended or transferred when the roof was replaced. Your new manufacturer warranty comes from the new shingle brand, and our workmanship guarantee stays in writing either way.
Most full Tamko replacements in Orlando take two to four days on site once tear-off begins. The scheduling depends on current weather and our crew’s existing jobs, but when we give you a start window, we show up inside it. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll give you a realistic window for your specific roof.
Only if the decking underneath has rot that wasn’t visible before tear-off, and that’s a line item we show you and agree on before replacing any wood. The shingle and labor price doesn’t change mid-job. If you want a fixed number that includes a decking contingency, we’ll build one into the written quote.
Sometimes, yes, if the damage is isolated to a small area and the decking underneath is still solid. But if the shingle loss is widespread or the decking is soft, patching hides the problem instead of fixing it, and Orlando’s rainy season will find the weak spot. We’ll tell you straight which one applies to your roof. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll walk it together.
Yes. Every full roof replacement in Orlando gets permitted, and we meet the inspector on site and walk them through the job. Any corrections that Orlando’s building department requires are handled and fixed without you chasing anyone down.
