Built for Pittsburgh Weather
Your roof protects your home from heavy rain, wind, hail, snow, and year round temperature changes. Malarkey shingles are designed for homeowners who want more than a basic asphalt roof.
With rubberized asphalt technology, strong impact resistance, and warranty options available through certified installation, Malarkey roofing systems give Pittsburgh homeowners a smarter way to protect their investment.
Why Malarkey Shingles Are Different
Malarkey shingles are built with NEX® Polymer Modified Asphalt, a rubberized asphalt technology that gives the shingle core added flexibility, strength, and weather resilience.
Unlike standard oxidized asphalt shingles, Malarkey’s formula is designed to help resist cracking, improve granule retention, and perform better through temperature changes. Malarkey states that its NEX® formula uses rubber and plastic polymers, including upcycled materials, to strengthen and rubberize the asphalt core.
Rubberized flexibility
Helps shingles expand and contract through temperature changes
Stronger impact resistance

Better granule retention
Helps shingles maintain their protective surface longer
All weather resilience
Useful for Pittsburgh rain, snow, heat, and freeze thaw cycles
Sustainable materials
Malarkey uses upcycled rubber and plastic polymers in its formula
What Is Rubberized Polymer Asphalt?
Traditional shingles can become stiff and brittle over time. Malarkey’s NEX® Polymer Modified Asphalt adds rubberlike flexibility to the asphalt core, helping the shingle expand and contract as temperatures change.
This matters in Pittsburgh because roofs go through hot summers, freezing winters, heavy rain, snow, and frequent freeze thaw cycles.
Simple homeowner explanation:
Rubberized asphalt helps the shingle bend instead of break, hold granules more securely, and better absorb stress from weather and impact.
Impact Resistant Roofing for Pittsburgh Homes
Hail, falling branches, and severe weather can damage ordinary shingles. Many Malarkey shingle lines are designed with impact resistance in mind.
Vista® and Legacy® Scotchgard™ shingles carry a Class 4 hail impact rating, which is the highest rating listed in Malarkey’s product comparison, while Highlander® shingles carry a Class 3 impact rating.
