This page is for Houston homeowners whose Tamko roof is leaking, granulating heavily, or nearing the end of its service life. If you’re not sure whether the problem is the shingles, the flashing, or the decking underneath, call (940) 461-8481 and we’ll send a background-checked technician to read the roof straight. We don’t upsell damage that isn’t there, and we don’t downplay what actually needs to come off.

How Tamko Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Tamko builds a solid shingle, but Houston’s climate tests them hard. Gulf Coast heat, high humidity, and the occasional hurricane-force wind give every shingle line a workout. Here’s what we see most often on Tamko roofs in Houston and what we do about it.

• Heritage Proline granule loss in high-heat exposures. Heritage Proline is an architectural shingle with a heavy granule coat, but on unshaded south-facing slopes in Meyerland or Katy, the asphalt can soften in sustained 95-degree heat and shed granules faster than the manufacturer’s wear curve predicts. We see it in gutters before homeowners notice it on the roof. The fix is usually localized replacement of the affected slopes, not a full re-roof, unless the decking underneath has begun to dry-rot.
• Tamko MetalWorks panel seam separation after wind uplift. These standing-seam metal panels hold up well, but on hurricane-strapped Houston homes we occasionally find seams that have begun to separate where a roof transitions from the main plane to a porch or patio cover. The cause is almost always a missed or undersized cleat at the transition, not the panel itself. We re-secure the seam, replace the cleat, and re-seal it with the proper butyl tape.
• Lamarite slate composite curling at the eaves. Lamarite is Tamko’s synthetic slate line, and we see curled tiles most often on low-pitch sections where water sheets off slowly. Houston’s morning humidity soaks the exposed edges, and afternoon sun bakes them. Over time, the laminated layers separate. The fix is tile-by-tile replacement along the eave line, plus refinishing the drip edge so water doesn’t wick back up under the tile.
• Flashing failure at vent pipe boots and chimney transitions, independent of shingle brand. On Tamko homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, the shingles often outlast the original flashing. We’ve pulled shingles that had five years left in them only to find corroded aluminum step flashing underneath. This is the most common Tamko repair we make: cutting out the old flashing, installing new kickout flashing at the roof-to-wall junctions, and re-setting the surrounding shingles so water sheds properly. The shingle brand doesn’t matter if the flashing leaks first.
• Decking rot under older Tamko three-tab installations without adequate ventilation. Older Tamko three-tab shingles were often installed over solid-sawn decking with insufficient attic airflow. In Houston’s humidity, condensation forms on the underside of that decking and rots it from below, while the shingles above still look serviceable. Before we nail down a single new Tamko shingle, we inspect the decking and the ventilation. If the deck is spongy, it comes out. If the attic is cooking, we correct the intake and exhaust before the new roof goes on.

Our Tamko Roofing Company Process

A Tamko job at Brennan Roofing Co Houston follows the same steps every time, and the first step is always a written price. Here’s how it goes.

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We set a time window, and a uniformed technician shows up inside it.
2. 2
   Diagnose on the roof, not from the driveway. We walk the entire roof, check the attic, and look at the flashing, decking, and ventilation. We tell you what’s actually wrong in plain English, and we tell you what isn’t wrong, too.
3. 3
   Written price before any work starts. You get the number on paper, line by line. It does not move at the door.
4. 4
   Parts decision made with you. If the repair calls for new materials, we’ll explain OEM Tamko components versus quality aftermarket options that match the existing roof. We never void your manufacturer warranty by substituting incompatible parts, and we’ll write down exactly what’s going on your roof.
5. 5
   Repair or replacement, done to The Garrison Standard. We work clean, protect the landscaping, and nail to spec. Decking gets inspected and replaced only if it’s actually compromised.
6. 6
   Test and walk through together. We water-test the repair, show you the completed work, and hand you the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it fails within a year, we come back free. That’s the guarantee, not a marketing line.

Why Houston Homeowners Call Brennan Roofing Co Houston for Tamko Work

Travis Oakley learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and put roofs on everything from bungalows to commercial strips before bringing that discipline to Houston. His crew has done full tear-offs and re-roofs from Meyerland to the Energy Corridor, and they know what Gulf Coast heat and humidity do to a deck.” A roof either keeps water out or it doesn’t – everything else is details.

Every technician who steps onto your roof is background-checked and in uniform. You get a written price before any work starts, and it does not change without your signed approval. Your Tamko roof gets repaired or replaced to The Garrison Standard, backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

And if you own a different brand – GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed – the same standard applies. We install and service those lines as well, but this page is about Tamko, and on a Tamko roof we know exactly what to look for before it becomes a ceiling stain.
