Our licensed crew safely removed 6,000 pounds of asbestos shingles and an additional ~11,000 pounds of old roofing material (tear-off + saturated underlayment + damaged decking), for a verified ~17,000 pounds of total waste hauled off. ⚒️

🌪️ Why Tamko Titan XT for Gainesville

We installed Tamko Titan XT architectural shingles—engineered for storms and backed by top industry ratings:

  • High-wind warranty coverage up to 160 mph when installed per TAMKO’s High Wind Application (starter, hip & ridge, proper fastener placement). TAMKO+1
  • UL 2218 Class 3 impact rating—added resilience against hail and debris. TAMKO+1
  • AnchorLock™/expanded nailing zone for stronger nail pull-through resistance and consistent fastening. TAMKO

We chose a 6-nail pattern on this build to maximize holding power in Florida storm seasons (within TAMKO’s nailing zone and application instructions). TAMKO
