Tamko shingle installs begin with a peel and adhere ice and water protection. This product prevents moisture penetration in the valleys of your roof, where rain and snow melt funnel. These areas require additional protection against wear and tear over the long-term. A shingle sublayment is then applied to provide moisture protection and padding for the final layer. For the installation of the shingles, specially-designed starter, hip and ridge tabs can be used.
Two years after construction began, a sticky tar like substance began to collect on the roof, gutters, and then eventually oozed out from the roof seams. The tarlike substance caused extensive damage to this home and cost the homeowners $1 million to remove. TAMKO, which was the manufacturer of the tar-like substance, admitted to misleading consumers by falsely claiming the product could withstand 250°F and that it wasn't a good choice in these climates.
This product was not the right choice for this house. The homeowners spent $1 million cleaning up their mess. A TAMKO representative said that the product was faulty and had caused severe damage to the home. The company apologized, admitting that they had made a mistake and was misleading customers. It also said that the product could not withstand 250 degrees. TAMKO made this public apology for the first time. However, the problem with TAMKO's ice and water shield was responsible for the tar-like substance.
