Why You Should Hire a Tamko Pro Diamond Certified Roofer (Like Us)

When it comes to protecting your home, the roof is one of the most important investments you’ll make. Since it is a long-term and costly investment, you need it to be right the first time. So when you do install a new roof, choosing the right contractor matters just as much as choosing the right materials. There are many things you need to look for in a contractor. Local experience, licenses and references are some of the important ones. But one thing people miss is the certifications. 

Many top brands offer certification programs for roofers that include exclusive material discounts and continuing education. For example, our company, A. Fricker Roofing and Waterproofing, is a Tamko® Pro™ Diamond contractor, and this brings a lot of benefits to you as a homeowner. 

In today’s article, we discuss all the advantages you get by choosing a Tamko-certified contractor and some of the best products you can consider. But before we move ahead, let’s start with a bit about Tamko. 

All About Tamko 

Tamko is one of the most trusted names in the roofing industry. Tamko Building Products LLC and their certified contractor program represent a gold standard in professionalism and performance.

Here are the certifications they offer: 

• Team Tamko (Basic Certification) 
• Tamko Pro Gold
• Tamko Pro Platinum
• Tamko Pro Diamond

The Diamond level is the highest tier in this program, reserved only for contractors who meet strict requirements and consistently deliver exceptional quality, and we are one of them. In the next sections, we will talk about what that means for you as a homeowner.

Benefits of Working with a Tamko Certified Contractor

Premium Warranty Coverage You Can Rely On

A strong warranty is one thing homeowners look for when choosing shingles for their roof. 

As a homeowner making a big investment, you want to know that you’re covered, not just today, but for years to come. By hiring certified roofers like us, you get access to better warranties.

Not all warranties are created equal and most contractors can’t offer the best ones. As a Tamko Pro Diamond contractor, we have exclusive access to Tamko’s full suite of enhanced limited warranties, including the DiamondShield™ Enhanced Limited System Warranty. These warranties don’t just cover materials. They include labor too, offering you comprehensive protection against both product defects and installation issues.

This kind of coverage isn’t available through non-certified contractors. It’s only offered by certified professionals who have earned Tamko’s trust.                      

Knowing that your roof is protected, can give you peace of mind, and that’s what matters. 

You Get Access to The Best Roofing Shingles and Other Products

Hiring a Diamond Certified contractor gives you access to Tamko’s most advanced roofing products. Here are some of the best products that we can help you with: 

Titan XT 

This shingle is popular all around the country. Titan XT® shingles are one of the best architectural shingles available on the market. This durable shingle comes with a 160 mph wind warranty and a Class 3 impact rating. These shingles are designed to perform in extreme weather, using patented AnchorLock™ technology and Advanced Fusion™ sealants to stay put, even in high winds.

StormFighter FLEX

If you live in Oklahoma or any other region in the Southwest, you know the harsh weather your home needs to deal with. Tornadoes and hail can take a toll on your roof. This is where impact-resistant shingles come in. 

We also install StormFighter FLEX™ shingles, which can handle temperatures as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit during installation and carry a Class 4 impact rating. This is ideal for storm-prone areas. These shingles use Tamko’s Rapid Fire Zone® for faster and more accurate installs.

These aren’t the only two shingles we install. Tamko has a wide selection of shingles that cater to several budgets: 

• Elite Glass-Seal® 3-tab shingles
• Heritage® shingles
• StormFighter IR® shingles
• Heritage® Vintage® shingles

The bottom line is you get top-of-the-line products that are built to last, look great, and protect your home better than standard options.

Expert Installation from Verified Professionals

Tamko’s Pro Diamond certification, as we said above, is given to a very small percentage of qualified roofers. 

As contractors, we have gone through a rigorous process, including providing insurance, licensing, business compliance, passing Tamko’s installation knowledge test, and providing homeowner references.

We’ve passed all those checks and more. Our team is trained specifically to install Tamko roofing systems according to manufacturer specifications. That means your roof isn’t just built to look good, it’s built to perform exactly as designed. And when a roof is installed right, it lasts longer and protects better.

High Value and Competitive Pricing To Help Your Budget

You might expect premium roofing materials and elite service to come with a sky-high price tag. But as a Diamond contractor, we get exclusive perks from Tamko, including top-tier rewards and pricing benefits. The Diamond-level contractors receive the highest level of cash-back rewards from Tamko, and when we save money, so do you. 

And because our installations are built to last, you’ll likely spend less on repairs and maintenance over time. It’s an investment that pays off in long-term durability and reduced future costs.

Trusted By Tamko

Hiring a contractor can feel risky. Will they show up? Will they cut corners? Will the roof hold up? Oklahoma is full of storm chasers or cheap roofing companies going after your money, we get that. 

But with us, those worries disappear. Being certified by a leading shingle manufacturer is proof that we’re reliable and trustworthy. 

We’ve been verified and approved by one of the most respected names in roofing. You get the assurance that your contractor is licensed, insured, compliant, and accountable.

It’s one more layer of protection on top of the quality products and expert work we already bring to the table.
