When Hurricane Milton unleashed its powerful winds and relentless rain, roofs across the Tampa Bay region were put to the ultimate test. But for contractors using TAMKO’s Titan XT® shingles, the results told a different story. They reported that the roofs they installed with Titan XT® shingles performed exceptionally well, showing no noticeable issues even after the storm. This isn’t an isolated success—Titan XT® shingles have consistently proven their durability during severe storms like Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Ian.*

Bill Ball of SRQ Building Services† recalls seeing the difference firsthand during Hurricane Ian. “Every 160 mph [Titan XT] shingle we put on had no issues whatsoever, even when the neighboring roofs were blown off,” he said. Stories like this have become a recurring theme, with Titan XT® shingles consistently outperforming other roofing materials under extreme conditions.

Justin Quade of Shingle Pro Roofing† had a similar experience. After Hurricanes Helene and Milton, he reached out to his clients with an update. “I sent out a mass email after the hurricanes. Not one of our roofs was compromised in any way,” he shared. On one inspection, he noticed a home where the siding had been ripped off and scattered across the yard. Despite the siding damage, the Titan XT® shingles roof remained completely intact.
“Titan XT shingles stood strong, even on homes where everything else was damaged. It’s hands down the best shingle on the market.”

Why Wind Damage is More Than Just a Hassle
For homeowners, wind damage isn’t just about fixing a few shingles—it can be a significant financial burden. Filing insurance claims can be time-consuming and complicated, and even when approved, coverage might not cover the entire cost of repairs. In cases where homeowners must pay out of pocket, the expenses can quickly add up. Additionally, patched roofs often don’t match the original shingles, leading to aesthetic and long-term durability issues.
Benefits for Contractors
For contractors, the benefits of Titan XT® shingles extend beyond their immediate performance during storms. After a storm, homeowners with damaged roofs often notice the intact roofs and ask who installed them. This type of visibility generates valuable referrals and reinforces a contractor’s reputation.
Carlos Rodriguez of Universal Contracting† reflects on the impact of Hurricane Ian, sharing how Titan XT® shingles have consistently delivered outstanding results for contractors and their clients. “I have one client who has already given 35 referrals to us because people want to know who installed their roof and what product did they use, so we tell them every time: TAMKO Titan XT. We hit the biggest winds you can in our area and we didn’t lose a single [Titan XT] shingle,” he said.
