Our firm specializes in shingle and steel roofs that are beautiful yet functional. Our team bring passion and enthusiasm to every project. From start to finish,we have you covered.
Vista® AR shingles are considered best in class thanks to their advanced construction and superior protection. They offer the highest impact resistance rating (Class 4), enhanced sustainability through the use of upcycled rubber and plastics, and long-lasting performance backed by strong warranty coverage.
Vista® AR shingles meet the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) strict FORTIFIED™ roof standards, providing added protection against severe weather and peace of mind for homeowners.
Vista® AR shingles feature a popular architectural design and are manufactured using Malarkey’s industry-leading NEX® Rubberized Asphalt technology. This advanced material provides outstanding durability in all weather conditions, a Class 4 hail impact rating, and algae resistance.
The shingles also contain smog-reducing granules that help remove airborne pollutants, contributing to cleaner air.
Made with our proprietary NEX® Polymer Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt, which combines asphalt for weathering, with rubber and plastic polymers for added strength and durability, Malarkey shingles are engineered to outperform and outlast.
Incorporating upcycled tires and plastic bags to increase strength and durability, while reducing landfill waste, and integrating smog-reducing granules that help clean the air, Malarkey shingles are designed with the environment in mind.
When installing a complete 5-component system for your new roof, roofing (field) shingles are installed fourth, after the starter shingles, and prior to the hip & ridge shingles.
Combining high-grade asphalt with synthetic and upcycled rubber and plastic polymers, proprietary NEX® Polymer Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt formulation rubberizes the asphalt core of the shingle to deliver superior all-weather resilience and longer product life.
Vista® AR shingles have up to 25% greater tear strength and 65% greater granule retention than the industry standard (ASTM D3462), carry a Class 4 hail impact rating, and meet the stringent IBHS FORTIFIED™ Roof requirements.
Recycled content can sometimes diminish product quality. Not so with our shingles. Polymers from upcycled tires and plastic bags are added to our asphalt formulation to improve shingle strength and durability, while reducing landfill waste – extending product life and landfill life.
Each average-sized roof of Vista® AR shingles diverts the equivalent of ~5 tires and ~3,200 plastic bags from the landfill.1
Six bonds (3 laminate, 2 rain, 1 wind) of synthetic rubber adhesive resist dry-out and deliver extreme protection from high-winds, wind-driven rain, and shingle delamination.
Vista® AR shingles have up to 50% more adhesive bonds and twice the rain seals of standard shingles.
It takes over 7000 nails to install a roof. Even one out of place can lead to leaks or void a wind warranty. The Zone®, our patented larger nailing area, provides a bigger nailing target and longer shingle backing to help ensure that every nail hits and penetrates both shingle layers for maximum protection against shingle uplift and blow-off, as well as leaks from troughing and ice damming.
The Zone® is up to 2X larger than the nailing area on standard shingles.
Ceramic-coated 3M™ Roofing Granules add lasting color vibrancy, while our NEX® asphalt technology dramatically enhances granule retention – the shingle’s primary defense against hail, scuffing, and the aging effects of UV sunlight.
Vista® AR shingles have up to 65% greater granule retention than the industry standard specification (ASTM D3462).
3M™ Smog-Reducing Granules, which blend inconspicuously into the shingle’s color, harness sunlight to photocatalytically convert dangerous smog gases like nitrogen dioxide (NO2) into water-soluble salt ions that rinse off the roof with rainwater, actively cleaning the air of these emission-based pollutants.
Each average-sized roof of Vista® AR shingles helps fight smog air pollution the equivalent of planting ~2 trees.2
Algae-resistant 3M™ Copper Granules blend inconspicuously into the shingle’s color and help prevent unsightly black streaks caused by algae growth.
Vista® AR shingles come with a 15-year algae warranty.
Shingles are sold in ‘squares’ which is the number of shingles required to cover 100 square feet of roof. Many manufacturers package their shingles to deliver only 97-99% of a square, in effect underdelivering/overcharging from 1-3% of the product.
Vista® AR shingles are packaged to deliver a full square, with 3 bundles equaling 100 square feet of roof coverage.
Roofs work better when the parts work together. A complete new roof requires 5 components – shingles, underlayment, ice & water barrier, starter shingles, and hip & ridge shingles.
If your roof is installed by a Malarkey Certified Contractor, who also uses the above Malarkey accessories as a part of a complete roof system, your roof is eligible for extended warranty coverage.
Malarkey was founded in Oregon over 69 years ago with a simple guiding principle: to build shingles worthy of their own homes. From the beginning, the focus has been on creating better-performing roofing products that last longer while reducing environmental impact.
Malarkey shingles are engineered with extra adhesive bonds for added protection against wind, rain, and delamination, and a larger nailing area to improve installation speed, ease, and accuracy.
Unlike standard shingles, which are brittle, easily crack, and quickly lose granules, Malarkey shingles are made of rubberized asphalt for industry-leading tear strength, granule adhesion, and wind & hail resistance.
Malarkey shingles incorporate upcycled tires and plastic bags to reduce landfill waste, and integrate smog-reducing granules that help actively clean the air of emission pollutants.
Malarkey designs shingles with the goal that warranties are never needed—but when the unexpected happens, they offer peace of mind through standard, enhanced, and extended warranty options available through Malarkey Certified Contractors.
With over 69 years of experience, Malarkey has built a long-standing reputation for industry leadership in roofing performance, innovation, and sustainability.
Choosing Malarkey shingles means choosing a greener future. By using upcycled rubber and plastic in their shingles, Malarkey helps reduce landfill waste, while their smog-reducing granules actively clean the air of pollutants. If more homeowners and builders select these environmentally responsible shingles, it can make a real impact – reducing waste, improving air quality, and promoting a more sustainable roofing industry.
