Whether you’re looking to upgrade your roof, improve your home’s energy efficiency, or enhance curb appeal, Malarkey Shingles offer a wide range of benefits that make them a superior choice.

Why Choose Malarkey Shingles?

Malarkey Shingles are not just another roofing material – they represent innovation, durability, and environmental responsibility. Their commitment to using high-quality materials, advanced technology, and sustainable manufacturing processes sets them apart from other roofing brands. Here are some of the top reasons why Malarkey Shingles are a smart investment for your home.

Superior Durability and Longevity

One of the biggest concerns homeowners have when investing in a new roof is its longevity. Malarkey Shingles are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rains, strong winds, and extreme temperatures.

  • Polymer-Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt – Unlike traditional asphalt shingles, Malarkey Shingles are made with a special polymer-modified asphalt that gives them increased flexibility and impact resistance. This makes them less prone to cracking and damage over time.
  • Class 4 Impact Resistance Rating – Malarkey Shingles have the highest impact resistance rating, meaning they can withstand hail and debris much better than standard shingles. This added strength helps extend the life of your roof, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
  • Advanced Granule Adhesion – Over time, many shingles lose granules due to weather exposure, but Malarkey’s specially formulated granule adhesion technology ensures better retention, keeping your roof protected for longer.

Exceptional Weather Protection

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Malarkey Shingles are designed to provide superior protection against wind, rain, and even algae growth.

  • Enhanced Wind Resistance – With reinforced nailing zones and superior adhesion, Malarkey Shingles can withstand wind speeds up to 130 mph, ensuring your roof stays intact even during severe storms.
  • 3M™ Scotchgard™ Protection – Many homeowners struggle with unsightly black streaks caused by algae growth. Malarkey Shingles come with 3M™ Scotchgard™ Protector, which helps prevent algae growth, keeping your roof looking clean and beautiful for years.
  • Tear-Resistant and Flexible – Unlike brittle shingles that can crack under temperature changes, Malarkey Shingles remain flexible and durable, making them ideal for both hot summers and freezing winters.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

A quality roof doesn’t just protect your home – it can also help lower energy costs. Malarkey Shingles are designed to reflect more sunlight and reduce heat absorption, leading to a more energy-efficient home.

  • Cool Roofing Technology – Certain Malarkey Shingles come with solar-reflective granules that help lower roof temperatures, reducing the strain on your HVAC system and keeping your home cooler during the summer months.
  • Better Insulation Properties – The superior sealing and thickness of Malarkey Shingles provide better insulation, helping to maintain consistent indoor temperatures and potentially lowering your energy bills.
  • Long-Term Savings – Because of their durability, Malarkey Shingles require fewer repairs and replacements over time, making them a cost-effective investment in the long run.

Environmentally Friendly Roofing Solution

Sustainability is a key focus of Malarkey Roofing Products, making these shingles an excellent choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.

  • Upcycled Rubber & Plastics – Malarkey incorporates recycled materials such as rubber from old tires and plastic from water bottles into their shingles, reducing landfill waste and promoting a more sustainable roofing solution.
  • Smog-Reducing Technology – Malarkey Shingles feature innovative 3M™ Smog-Reducing Granules, which help remove pollutants from the air. Each roof installed with Malarkey Shingles has the potential to offset air pollution in a way similar to planting several trees.
  • Eco-Friendly Manufacturing – Malarkey Roofing Products prioritize sustainable manufacturing processes, reducing waste and emissions while ensuring high-quality products.

Aesthetic Appeal and Variety of Styles

A new roof should not only perform well but also enhance the beauty of your home. Malarkey offers a variety of styles and colors to match any architectural design or personal preference.

  • Architectural & Designer Shingles – Malarkey provides a range of shingle options, from traditional three-tab shingles to high-end architectural and designer styles, giving homeowners plenty of choices.
  • Vibrant, Fade-Resistant Colors – With advanced granule technology, Malarkey Shingles maintain their rich, vibrant colors longer than standard shingles, ensuring long-lasting curb appeal.
  • Customized Looks – Whether you prefer a classic, rustic, or modern aesthetic, Malarkey has options that will enhance the visual appeal of your home.
