Family Owned Company
A Roofing Materials Company We Trust
Malarkey Roofing Products is a family-owned roofing materials company based out of Portland, Oregon. We use their shingles and underlayment on an increasing number of our projects in the Twin Cities. They build their materials to withstand extreme weather (including subzero temperatures) and maintain their color. They can even drive down your insurance costs! We trust their products, and they help us protect our customers' homes.

50% more adhesive bonds
NEX Asphalt Technology
Malarkey makes their shingles from NEX Rubberized Asphalt. This is a new technology that combines asphalt with rubber and plastic polymers, with the end goal being a stronger and more flexible shingle compared to traditional shingles. This results in up to 50% more adhesive bonds and twice the rain seals compared to standard shingles.
Malarkey Differences
Insurance Discount Eligible
Malarkey shingles are often eligible for potential insurance discounts due to high impact ratings.
Priced for Value
Their products are priced at a similar level to other manufacturers (in fact, their Class 4 shingles are less expensive than competitors). They deliver premium features at a great value, making them a great choice for homeowners.
Vetted by The Kingdom Builders
We review shingle testing by third parties and train with Malarkey staff on installation guidelines and best practices.
Recycled Materials
Malarky uses recycled materials to help make manufacturing more sustainable and reduce landfill waste.
Algae Resistant
Both models come in algae-resistant versions, which help maintain the appearance of a roof over time.
Class 3 & 4 Rated
Malarkey Vista shingles have a Class 4 impact rating (the highest possible), which is ideal for hail-prone areas of the Midwest. The Highlander line offers a solid Class 3 rating.
