If your house in Trophy Club or Roanoke has a chunky, wood-shake-look shingle with deep shadow lines, it might be TAMKO Heritage Vintage. That matters now, because TAMKO has stopped making it. When hail or wind damages part of that roof, the repair question changes.
I’m Blake Snow. I’ve been roofing for 30 years and have worked on roofs from every major shingle maker, including TAMKO. Here’s what’s confirmed, how to tell if you have it, and your real options.
What TAMKO announced
In a January 21, 2025 memo to TAMKO distribution partners (posted by ABC Supply), TAMKO’s VP of Sales said that, effective immediately, TAMKO was discontinuing:
- Heritage Vintage shingles
- StormFighter FLEX 3 shingles (StormFighter FLEX 4 stays in production)
- Several ventilation products: CoolRidge, QuickVent, Roll Vent, Rapid Ridge, Xtractor Vent and XLP Turbo
The memo said remaining inventory could be ordered through TAMKO reps, first come, first served, while supply lasted. Almost two years later, don’t count on finding new bundles in your color.
How to tell if your roof is Heritage Vintage
From TAMKO’s Heritage Vintage data sheet (Rev. 09/15/2021):
| Spec | Heritage Vintage (discontinued) | Heritage (current, Dallas plant) |
|---|---|---|
| Shingle size | 17 1/2” x 40” | 13 1/4” x 39 3/8” |
| Exposure | 5” | 5 5/8” |
| Bundles per sales square | 6 (72 shingles) | 3 (64 shingles, covers 98.4 sq ft) |
| Made in | Phillipsburg, KS | Dallas, TX |
| Colors | Charcoal, Chestnut, Fossil Grey, Redwood, Weathered Wood | Dallas data sheet lists Oxford Grey, Rustic Black, Weathered Wood |
Current Heritage figures are from TAMKO’s Heritage data sheet for the Dallas plant (Rev. 01/19/2026).
Heritage Vintage also carried a Class A fire rating, ASTM D7158 Class H and D3161 Class F wind ratings, a Limited Lifetime Warranty (single-family homes), a 10-year Full Start period and a 10-year algae cleaning warranty. The data sheet doesn’t list an impact rating.
Easy checks: look for a leftover bundle in the garage or attic (the wrapper names the product and color), find your original invoice, or have us measure the exposure. A 5-inch exposure on a big, thick laminated shake-look shingle is a strong clue.
Why “just use Heritage” doesn’t work
The names are close, but the shingles aren’t. Heritage Vintage has a 5-inch exposure. Current Heritage has a 5 5/8-inch exposure and a different size. Mix them on one slope and the courses drift out of line within a few rows. The colors and granule blends differ too, and a roof that has weathered for years won’t match fresh shingles anyway.
Your real options
- Matching leftovers or salvage. If you have spare bundles, or we can find sound matching shingles, small repairs may blend well enough.
- Rob a hidden slope. We pull weathered shingles from a back slope you can’t see from the street, use them on the damaged front slope, and put the replacement product where nobody looks.
- Replace a full slope or plane. A whole plane, eave to ridge, in a new product reads as a choice, not a patch.
- Replace the roof. On an older roof, or one with damage on several slopes, this often costs less over time than chasing a match.
If you replace, every shingle roof we install is Class 3 impact-rated or better. In the TAMKO lineup, that means Titan XT (Class 3) or StormFighter (Class 4). For a heavier shake look, we can also compare designer shingles from our certified brands, like CertainTeed Presidential Shake. Class 4 can also matter for insurance. See our Class 4 shingles page.
Insurance and matching
If a storm damaged part of a Heritage Vintage roof, the fact that it’s discontinued can matter to the claim.
- Document the damage on every slope, not just the worst one.
- Keep a sample shingle and a photo of any bundle wrapper.
- Give your adjuster TAMKO’s discontinuation memo and the data sheet comparison above. It shows why current Heritage won’t course in.
- Ask in writing how your policy handles matching. Policies differ, and we don’t promise coverage.
In Texas you generally have one year from the date of loss to file a claim, but check your policy. Our storm damage page covers what to document.
