The Heritage series is available in 20+ colors suited to Florida's coastal and Mediterranean-style homes.

Why TAMKO Shingles for Florida Homes

TAMKO's WindGUARD warranty provides coverage up to 160 mph wind speeds on qualifying Heritage products — one of the highest wind warranties in the industry and well above Florida's 130 mph building code minimum for most zones. TAMKO shingles also feature Rapid Fire Zone™ technology, a reinforced nailing zone that reduces installation time and improves fastener holding strength in high-wind conditions. All TAMKO Heritage shingles carry a Class A fire rating and are algae-resistant, which is critical for Florida's humid climate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TAMKO WindGUARD warranty?

The TAMKO WindGUARD warranty provides coverage for wind damage up to 160 mph on qualifying Heritage shingles when installed with TAMKO starter strips, hip & ridge cap, and the specified fastening pattern. This exceeds Florida Building Code's 130 mph minimum requirement for most wind zones, providing additional protection in Tampa Bay's hurricane-prone climate.

How long do TAMKO Heritage shingles last in Florida?

TAMKO Heritage shingles carry a Lifetime Limited Warranty for the original homeowner. In Florida's climate, properly installed Heritage shingles typically last 25–30 years. The algae-resistant granules help maintain appearance in Florida's humid environment, where untreated shingles can develop black streaking within 5–10 years.

How much do TAMKO shingles cost to install in Tampa?

TAMKO Heritage shingle installation in Tampa Bay typically ranges from $7,500 to $16,000 for a standard residential roof, depending on roof size, pitch, and complexity. TAMKO shingles are generally priced slightly below GAF and Owens Corning, making them a cost-effective option without sacrificing quality. Contact Hytz Roofing for a free estimate specific to your home.

Does TAMKO Titan XT qualify for Florida insurance discounts?

Yes. TAMKO Titan XT carries a Class 4 impact rating (the highest available), which qualifies for insurance premium discounts with most Florida carriers. The discount varies by insurer but typically ranges from 10–30% on the wind/hail portion of your homeowner's insurance premium. Ask your insurance agent about the specific discount available with your policy.

How do TAMKO shingles compare to GAF Timberline HDZ?

Both TAMKO Heritage and GAF Timberline HDZ are high-quality architectural shingles with Lifetime warranties and similar wind ratings. GAF Timberline HDZ offers the WindProven warranty (unlimited wind speed with no speed cap) when installed as a complete GAF system. TAMKO Heritage offers the WindGUARD 160 mph warranty. TAMKO shingles are typically 5–15% less expensive than GAF, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious homeowners who still want a premium product.
