You get an honest assessment, a written price before any work starts, and a repair that gets done right.
If you own a home in Houston with an IKO roof, this page covers how IKO products fail in our climate, what repairs actually cost, and how we work. Need someone on your roof today? Call (254) 566-3573 and a live person answers.

How IKO Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
IKO makes a wide range of shingle lines, from the architectural Cambridge series to the dimensional Nordic, and Houston’s heat plus humidity brings out a few failure patterns we see every week. Here’s what fails and what we do about it.
- Cambridge sealant strip failure after 12 to 15 years. The Cambridge line is common across Meyerland, Westbury, and Bellaire. In Houston, the self-seal adhesive strip on IKO Cambridge shingles can lose its grip after years of attic heat cooking the roof from below. Wind lifts the shingles, rain gets underneath, and you see water stains on the ceiling. We replace the damaged shingles and, when needed, hand-seal the loose tabs around the affected area with a roofing-grade adhesive that holds in Houston’s temperature swings.
- Nordic and Dynasty shingle blow-offs near eaves and rakes. We regularly find IKO Nordic and Dynasty shingles pulled off the roof edge after a spring thunderstorm. The cause is often a short nail pattern or nails driven too high in the shingle. The fix is replacement shingles set with correct nail placement, and on a second story where wind load is worse we add more nails per shingle to match IKO’s high-wind installation guidelines.
- Granule loss and exposed fiberglass mat on older IKO Marathon roofs. The IKO Marathon line from the early 2000s shows up all over older Houston neighborhoods. After two decades of heat, the granules wear thin, the underlying mat gets brittle, and the shingles start to curl at the corners. You won’t get that from IKO’s website because they don’t sell Marathon anymore, and they won’t tell you the roof is at end of life. We’ll tell you straight: if the mat is exposed across more than 30 percent of a slope, we estimate repair dollars versus replacement dollars honestly, and we never patch a roof that’s too far gone.
- Valley and flashing failures on IKO angled cricket valleys. IKO roofs with complex valleys, especially around dormers on two-story Houston homes, tend to fail at the valley metal where debris builds up. Pine needles and oak leaves from Houston’s mature trees hold water against the valley flashing, and rot follows. We remove the affected shingles, replace the valley metal when it’s rusted or folded, and install proper IKO-compatible underlayment before re-shingling.
- Vent boot and pipe collar deterioration. This one isn’t exclusive to IKO, but IKO roofs in Houston get it every summer. The rubber boot around a furnace or plumbing vent cracks in heat, shrinks, and leaks. We replace the boot, set the shingles around it with fresh sealant, and move on. It’s usually a $325 to $475 job, depending on access.
Our IKO Roof Repair Process
Here’s what happens from the moment you call (254) 566-3573 to the moment we hand you the written guarantee.
- 1
You call and talk to a person. Not a voicemail, not a call center. A live person answers, asks what you’re seeing, and gets a repair scheduled for a window we actually keep.
- 2
We walk the roof. Greg Holloway or one of our senior techs gets up on the roof and looks at the whole system, not just the spot you pointed at. We trace the leak path, check the decking underneath, and identify whether this is an isolated repair or a sign of something bigger.
- 3
You get a written price before we touch anything. The number we give you is the number you’ll see on the invoice. If we find hidden decking damage, we stop, call you up, and put the change in writing before we go further. Greg says it straight: “You’ll know the price before we touch the roof.”
- 4
We decide on parts together. If we can get IKO OEM shingles that match your existing roof color and line, we use them. If the line is discontinued, like Marathon, we show you a quality aftermarket alternative that blends correctly. We explain the difference and let you choose.
- 5
We make the repair and test it. We don’t just caulk a crack and leave. We replace or seal the failure, check the surrounding area for hidden problems, and run water along the slope when the repair is on a leak-prone area. Then we photograph the finished work.
- 6
We hand you a written guarantee. Before our crew leaves, you get a written guarantee on the repair. No waiting for the mail, no “we’ll send it next week.” The Kingswell Way means the paperwork is in your hand the day the work is done.

FAQs
No, repairing your IKO roof does not void IKO’s material warranty, as long as the repair is done correctly. IKO’s warranty covers manufacturing defects in the shingles themselves. If you have a workmanship warranty from the original installer, their terms still apply. We’re an independent IKO service provider and we follow IKO’s installation and repair guidelines. Call (254) 566-3573 and we’ll tell you exactly what applies to your roof.
In most cases, yes. IKO’s current lines, including Cambridge and Dynasty, have consistent color batches, and we can usually match your existing shingles. If your roof is an older discontinued line like IKO Marathon, an exact match isn’t always possible. We’ll show you the closest available option before we start so you know what the repair will look like.
Most IKO repairs in Houston are completed the same day we diagnose them. A small shingle or flashing repair takes a few hours. If decking damage is found, the job may extend into a second day. We tell you upfront, before we start, exactly how long your repair will take.
It depends on the condition of the whole roof, not just the leaking spot. If the damage is isolated and the IKO shingles still have life in them, repair is the right move. If the shingles are brittle, granule loss is widespread, or you’re in a second or third leak cycle, replacement starts to make more sense. We’ll show you the repair cost and a replacement cost side by side and let you decide with one written number in front of you.
We come back and fix it at no charge. Every IKO roof repair we do in Houston comes with a written guarantee, delivered before the crew leaves. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we return and correct it without a bill. That’s the Kingswell Way.
