How Choosing a Certified Roofing Contractor Protects Your Home (and Your Wallet)
If you’ve been researching roofing contractors, you might have come across terms like “Tamko Pro Certified”—but what does that actually mean?
At Watertight Roofing, we’re proud to be a Tamko Pro Certified Contractor, and we want homeowners across Nebraska and Iowa to understand why that certification matters when it’s time to repair or replace your roof.
Here’s what it means—and why it should matter to you.
🏅 What Is Tamko Pro Certification?
Tamko is one of the most respected roofing manufacturers in the country, known for producing high-quality asphalt shingles and roofing materials. Their Tamko Pro Certification is only awarded to roofing contractors who meet strict standards for installation quality, product knowledge, and customer service.
It’s their stamp of approval that says:
✔️ This contractor knows what they’re doing
✔️ They install Tamko products correctly and consistently
✔️ Homeowners can trust them to deliver quality work backed by warranty
🔒 Why It Matters for You as a Homeowner
When you choose a Tamko Pro Certified contractor, you’re getting more than just shingles—you’re getting peace of mind and real protection. Here’s what that looks like:
✅ 1. Better Warranty Coverage
Certified contractors are able to offer enhanced manufacturer warranties that non-certified roofers can’t. That means longer coverage, better protection, and fewer out-of-pocket surprises if something goes wrong.
✅ 2. Correct Installation—Guaranteed
Shingles are only as good as the people installing them. Tamko Pro contractors follow strict manufacturer guidelines to ensure your roof is built to perform—and to last.
✅ 3. Fewer Headaches, Better Results
Because we’re trained and certified, the process is smoother, cleaner, and done right the first time. No cutting corners, no rushed work, no cheap materials.
✅ 4. Credibility You Can Trust
We didn’t just buy our certification—we earned it by proving our workmanship and maintaining a reputation for reliability, safety, and professionalism.
🛠 Why We Choose Tamko Products
We’ve installed all kinds of shingles over the years, but we recommend Tamko because they offer:
- High-impact, storm-rated shingles
