/ Common Questions

FAQ: Malarkey Roofing

Why is Malarkey more expensive than other brands?

Malarkey's laminated construction, premium materials, and lifetime warranties justify the higher price. You're investing in a roof that will last 40-50+ years with minimal maintenance.

What's the difference between laminated and single-layer shingles?

Laminated shingles are two layers bonded together, providing superior strength, durability, and longevity. They resist impact better, maintain flexibility longer, and typically last 10-20+ years longer.

Is Malarkey good for Ottawa winters?

Excellent choice. Malarkey shingles are engineered for North American freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and extreme temperatures. The laminated construction enhances cold-weather performance.

What warranty do I get with Malarkey?

Most Malarkey products come with 30+ year limited or lifetime limited warranties. This includes material defects and workmanship through certified installation.

How long does a Malarkey roof last?

Malarkey roofs commonly last 40-50+ years with proper installation and maintenance. The laminated construction and premium materials extend longevity significantly beyond standard shingles.

Is the lifetime warranty really lifetime?

Malarkey's lifetime limited warranties cover material defects for the life of the roof, provided the installation meets specifications. We'll explain the specific terms when you select your product.

Is Malarkey a good investment?

Yes, if you plan to stay in your home long-term. The higher upfront cost is offset by the exceptional longevity (40-50+ years) and minimal maintenance required.
