In an era of rising deductibles, shifting insurance policies and rapid digital transformation, TAMKO Building Products is betting big on a new kind of contractor support, one that goes far beyond shingles and warranties. TAMKO’s revamped The TAMKO Edge® contractor program, redesigned in 2025, reflects a major pivot from traditional rebate models to a deeply integrated system that connects contractors with industry-leading tech tools, training and national affinity partners.* The goal? To reduce failure rates, drive business growth and elevate the professionalism of roofers nationwide. ‡
This isn’t just about selling more shingles. As Director of The TAMKO Edge® program Matt Shaner states, “There are things from CRM systems to financing partners, marketing resources, estimation and visualization partners. We just continue to give them resources and connections throughout the industry to support whatever their need may be.” The TAMKO Edge® program offers tiered membership (Gold, Platinum and Diamond), access to exclusive system warranties* and a growing tech stack that includes tools like JobNimbus, CompanyCam and Roofle.† These platforms can help streamline operations, boost customer acquisition and even assist with financing solutions, giving you exclusive access to the tools you need to successfully grow your business.‡
TAMKO Director of Contractor Engagement Jon Abernathy explained how tech adoption has become vital. “Technology is becoming an absolute if you want to survive in the industry. If not, your competitors will get technology,” he said. “They will lean their companies up and they'll go to compete with you at a higher level and get a lot more done.”
More than just technology, The TAMKO Edge® program is also building community, bringing contractors together from across the country to collaborate and learn from each other in real time. Events like TAMKO’s recent gathering in Kansas City showcased this emphasis on peer mentorship and real-world solutions.
For roofers navigating a complex and competitive market, TAMKO’s strategy isn’t just a value add, it might be the blueprint for long-term survival.
