Asphalt shingles are an excellent roofing material for a variety of reasons! They are affordable, easy to install, durable, and can last around 25 years with proper regular maintenance. But not all asphalt shingles are the same. Even though asphalt shingles are generally the same, each manufacturer has its spin on the shingle, along with advantages and disadvantages.
We, at Shull Roofing in Salina, have been working with manufacturers and customers for over two decades. We have learned which products are worth the money and which ones could use some tweaking. We trust Malarkey Roofing Products due to their high-quality materials. We would not support a company that doesn’t offer excellence.
Who is Malarkey?
Malarkey began in the roofing industry in 1956 in Oregon. They have tweaked their asphalt shingles for over 65 years working to improve and perfect to the needs of the customer’s demand. In 1976, they introduced a fiberglass mat to 3-tab shingles and offered the first 2-year warranty in the roofing industry. They continued moving forward in 1986 when they introduced the first polymer 3-tab shingle, calling it The Alaskan. Their innovations and technologies have improved continually through the years, offering the first Scotchgard Protector from 3M Designation in 2003, and the first smog-reducing shingle in 2018. This company is continually moving forward improving and succeeding in the roofing industry!
Not only does Malarkey prove to push forward with roofing materials, but they are also concerned about the environment. Malarkey has worked to minimize the waste in landfills by upcycling approximately a billion plastic bags and millions of rubber tires for their shingles. They also strive to clean the air we breathe by increasing our forests by planting new trees.
