Reviews by product
Titan XT carries most of the praise from reviewers and roofers. StormFighter FLEX carries the awards. HailGuard is new and says so.
HailGuard™
“If I was doing my roof today, HailGuard™ would be on my house.”
Mike Nguyen, Apex Premier Roofing · testimonial supplied by TAMKOStormFighter FLEX®
“Tamko's top of the line Stormfighter and Titan shingles edge out the GAF equivalents in both price and performance”

“Tamko had the highest wind rating and lowest price per bundle of the group, with lots of color options to choose from.”
Bob Vila, hands-on review, 4.8/5Heritage®

“I have a 25 year 3-tab TAMKO ELITE GLASS SEAL on a house that my father did in 1995 that is just now requiring replacement.”
A Virginia Class A roofing contractor, r/RoofingHow Titan XT roofs came through Hurricane Ian
- 17
- Titan XT roofs in the storm’s path
- 150 mph
- winds reported by a Port Charlotte homeowner
- 0
- shingles lost
I've been in roofing for 33 years, the last 18 years of it in Florida, and I've never seen an asphalt shingle perform like Titan did.
We were ground zero, in the eyewall for 12 hours, and these roofs didn't lose a single [Titan XT] shingle
I had a roof put on with a product by TAMKO, it was done by Universal, and it survived 150 MPH winds. My pool cage didn't fare as well – this company [TAMKO] doesn't make pool cages, but thank God they make roofing, because, in the neighborhood, of the people that had their roofs done with this product, there is no damage whatsoever. And I thank you.
The trade, the customers and the press
From roofers
All 270“Titan XT, I installed one just outside Houston where the hurricane made landfall with recorded winds of 100+ and it never lost a shingle. Had some tree branches come through the roof but that was it. That is what sold me on Titan 100%”
“My crews have installed many squares of TAMKO Titan shingles, have over 300 squares installed on a waterfront property that has weathered many hurricanes over the past several years, zero blow outs, hot VA summers. Shingles still look brand new even after a hail storm that left all trim metals/siding damaged.”
From homeowners
All 27“I asked for samples of both shingles, and to my surprise, the Titan XT feels superior in weight, texture, and overall build.”
“100% agree , 26 year tampco heritage roof no blow offs no leaks.”
From experts
All 37“For those in storm-prone areas or who prioritize long-term durability, Tamko Titan XT is the better investment.”
“TAMKO is a company with a solid reputation for producing affordable and reliable roofing shingles.”
