Malarkey builds its shingles on polymer-modified asphalt — rubberized, in plain terms. A rubberized shingle stays more flexible through temperature swings and takes an impact better than a conventional one. It costs more. If you're staying in the house, that math often works out.
Availability moves with the market. We confirm the exact line, color, and written warranty in your proposal before anything is ordered.
The entry point into the rubberized lineup. A genuine architectural shingle on a better base material.
Core lineA step up in weight and shadow line, same polymer-modified construction.
UpgradeThe flagship. Heavier, impact-rated, and the line most Malarkey roofs around here end up being.
Impact-ratedThe luxury tier — heaviest profile, impact-rated, strongest presence from the curb.
LuxurySolar-reflective, aimed at cutting heat gain. Relevant in a Houston summer.
Cool roofThe 3-tab option in the line.
Value / 3-tabPolymer-modified asphalt stays flexible through heat cycling instead of getting brittle. That is the whole argument for this brand.
Legacy and Windsor are impact-rated as part of the line, not as a separate upgrade product.
The premium is real. It pays off if you're keeping the house — and we'll say so plainly if you're not.
A free, documented inspection tells us the pitch, layers, decking condition, and ventilation you're starting from.
We show you two or three realistic lines side by side — what each costs, and what the difference actually buys.
You see physical samples in daylight against your own brick, and we check any HOA requirement before ordering.
We install to the manufacturer's specification and hand you the written manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
The asphalt is modified with polymers so the shingle stays flexible instead of hardening over time. In practice that means better impact resistance and better behavior through Houston's heat cycling.
If you plan to stay in the home long term, often yes. If you're selling in three years, we'd usually steer you to a GAF or CertainTeed architectural shingle and tell you to keep the difference.
It is orderable here, though it is not stocked as deeply as GAF. That can mean a longer lead time, especially after a storm. We'll tell you the real timeline before you commit.
