Tamko

TAMKO Building Products is a longstanding independent manufacturer focused primarily on residential roofing and associated materials. On their website they describe themselves as “dedicated to delivering strength, beauty, and performance in every roof through industry-leading quality and innovation.” While their main reputation is built around shingles, the company also offers accessories, underlayments, waterproofing and even metal/roll roofing solutions (in some cases). Their broad commitment positions them as a full-roof system provider rather than just a single product vendor.

One of TAMKO’s standout product lines is their premium shingle range. For example, the Titan XT line is described as “built tough for award-winning performance” and features advanced technologies such as TriShield™ and AnchorLock™ to deliver high wind and impact resistance. The website touts features like a 160 mph wind warranty and UL 2218 impact ratings. These shingles are targeted at homeowners and contractors who need maximum durability and long-term performance.

TAMKO also offers more value-oriented or traditional shingle lines. For instance, the Heritage series provides architectural laminated aesthetics with rich color options and “built for durability, designed for excellence.” And the Elite Glass‑Seal line offers a more classic 3-tab shingle option for homeowners who want reliable performance at a lower price point. This tiered approach allows TAMKO to serve a wide range of homeowners—from budget-conscious to premium-seekers.

Beyond the shingles themselves, TAMKO offers a robust set of accessories and supporting components to build a full roof system. Their “Accessories” section includes synthetic underlayments, self-adhering underlayments, starter/hip & ridge shingles, roll roofing, and waterproofing membranes. TAMKO These components are designed to work in conjunction with the shingles to enhance performance, ensure proper assembly, and support warranties. By offering these supporting materials, TAMKO positions itself as a supplier of complete roofing systems rather than standalone products.

Taken together, TAMKO’s products give homeowners and contractors choices across performance, aesthetics and cost. With premium lines like Titan XT, users get high wind and impact protection—important in severe weather markets. With value lines like Elite Glass-Seal, users can get dependable coverage for more budget-sensitive projects. And by supplying accessories and system components, TAMKO helps ensure compatibility, ease of installation and support of warranties. For professionals, having a brand that offers color variety, technical backing and system-wide components makes specifying, installing and standing behind the roof simpler. For homeowners, the benefit is a roof that looks good, performs well and is backed by a trusted manufacturer.
