Homeowners in Brookmore Estates (Oviedo) and Reserve at Legacy Park (Casselberry) are not alone.
Over the past several months, our team at Bigfoot Roofing & Construction has identified a recurring issue on multiple homes built between 2016 and 2018, many of which were constructed by Pulte Homes and roofed with TAMKO shingles. These roofs are showing signs of premature granule loss and accelerated aging that is inconsistent with their age.
While these two neighborhoods are where our recent inspections have been concentrated, this issue is not isolated. We are seeing similar roof conditions in other nearby communities built during the same time period with the same shingle manufacturer.
Signs Your Roof May Be Affected
If you live in Oviedo, Casselberry, or surrounding Central Florida neighborhoods and your home is 6–10 years old, your roof may warrant a professional evaluation if you are noticing any of the following:
-
Excessive granules collecting in gutters or downspouts
-
Granules washing onto driveways, patios, or landscaping after rain
-
Shingles that appear faded, thin, or “bald” in areas
-
Your roof looks significantly older than neighboring homes of similar age
-
Concern that your roof may not reach its expected lifespan
While some granule loss is normal over time, excessive granule loss at this stage can indicate a potential manufacturing defect and may qualify for a manufacturer warranty claim
What We’re Seeing During Inspections
During roof inspections in Brookmore Estates, Reserve at Legacy Park, and other nearby communities, our inspectors have documented:
-
Consistent granule loss patterns across multiple roof slopes
-
Granule accumulation in gutters indicating ongoing material breakdown
-
Shingle wear inconsistent with roofs that are less than 10 years old
In several cases, these findings have supported TAMKO manufacturer warranty claims, and multiple homeowners we are assisting have already received warranty compensation to help offset the cost of a roof replacement.
How We Help Homeowners Through the TAMKO Warranty Process
Manufacturer warranty claims can be confusing and time-consuming without proper documentation. Bigfoot Roofing & Construction assists homeowners by:
-
Performing a complimentary roof inspection and evaluation
-
Properly documenting granule loss and shingle condition
-
Assisting with the TAMKO warranty submission process
-
Explaining next steps clearly once the manufacturer responds
Please note that all warranty claims are subject to review and approval by the manufacturer. Our role is to help homeowners understand their roof condition and ensure the process is handled correctly.
Replacing Your Roof With Confidence in Northeast & Central Florida
When roof replacement is approved, homeowners often choose to upgrade to GAF Timberline HDZ shingles.
As a GAF Master Elite Contractor, Bigfoot Roofing & Construction is able to offer enhanced warranty options, including the GAF Silver Pledge Warranty, which provides added protection for both materials and workmanship. This helps homeowners avoid similar issues in the future and provides long-term peace of mind.
