The Midlands' Only TAMKO Diamond Elite Contractor
Out of thousands of roofing contractors in South Carolina, only Sands Roofing has earned TAMKO's highest certification. That means better warranties, better pricing, and better results for your roof.
What Is TAMKO Diamond Elite?
TAMKO Building Products, one of America's largest independent roofing manufacturers, operates a multi-tier contractor certification program designed to recognize companies that meet the highest standards in installation quality, product knowledge, and customer service.
The program has four levels, each with increasingly rigorous requirements for training, sales volume, installation quality, and customer satisfaction. Diamond Elite is the highest level, reserved for a small number of contractors nationwide who have proven themselves as the best of the best.
In Columbia, Lexington, and the greater Midlands area of South Carolina, Sands Roofing & Construction is the only contractor to hold Diamond Elite certification. This distinction gives our customers access to the exclusive Diamond Shield warranty, preferred manufacturer pricing, and the confidence that their roof is being installed by a team that has earned the highest level of trust from TAMKO.

What Diamond Elite Means for Your Roof
Choosing a Diamond Elite contractor isn't just about a badge. It has a direct impact on the quality of your roof, the strength of your warranty, and the long-term value of your investment.
Diamond Shield Warranty Access
Only Diamond Elite contractors can offer the Diamond Shield warranty — TAMKO's most comprehensive coverage with 50-year material protection, 25-year craftsmanship coverage, and 20-year transferability. Standard contractors simply cannot match this level of protection.
Verified Installation Quality
Maintaining Diamond Elite status requires annual verification by TAMKO. Our installation quality, customer satisfaction, and business practices are reviewed every year. This ongoing accountability ensures consistently excellent workmanship on every project.
Ongoing Factory Training
Every member of our installation team is trained directly by TAMKO on proper installation techniques, ventilation requirements, and product specifications. We participate in annual continuing education to stay current on new products and building codes.
Premium Product Access
Diamond Elite contractors have access to TAMKO's complete product catalog, including exclusive colors and premium product lines that aren't available through standard dealers. We also receive preferred pricing, which means you get top-tier materials without a premium markup.
