Malarkey Roofing in Chicago — Installed by a Certified Local Crew

About Malarkey
Why We Chose Malarkey for Chicago Roofs
We've been installing roofs across Logan Square, Pilsen, and Wicker Park since 2008 — 18 years watching what holds up through polar vortexes and spring hail. Malarkey earned a spot in our material lineup because their rubberized asphalt construction handles Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles better than standard shingles. Illinois License #104-014892.
As a certified Malarkey installer, we spec their Vista AR and Legacy shingles on homes where impact resistance matters and manufacturer warranty coverage needs to stick. We pull the permits, document the install, and hand you a warranty that names both the manufacturer and our crew at 1847 W Division St.

Product Lineup
Malarkey Shingle Collections We Install
As a certified Malarkey installer, we offer three shingle lines built for Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles. Each features polymer-modified asphalt for superior impact resistance — a real advantage during spring hail storms.
Malarkey Legacy
Our go-to for homeowners who want reliable protection at a smart price. These architectural shingles carry a Class 3 impact rating and built-in algae resistance. We've installed Legacy on dozens of Chicago bungalows from Logan Square to Pilsen. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, they handle wind uplift up to 110 mph. Perfect for flat-to-low slopes common in older city homes.
Malarkey Highlander
The premium choice for maximum durability. Highlander shingles feature Scotchgard™ Algae Protection and a Class 4 impact rating — the highest available. We recommend them for neighborhoods like Wicker Park and Evanston where mature trees drop branches. The 50-year limited warranty includes 10-year SureStart™ coverage. Our crew sees fewer callbacks with these on North Side roofs.
Malarkey Vista
Budget-friendly without sacrificing polymer-modified toughness. Vista shingles offer a 30-year limited warranty and a Class 2 impact rating. They're a solid choice for rental properties or garages. We've used them on several South Side projects where the owner wanted a quality brand without the premium price. Still algae-resistant and built to handle Chicago's rapid temperature swings.
Why Malarkey
Why Malarkey Works in Chicago's Climate
Chicago roofs take punishment other cities don't. We spec Malarkey because their products are engineered for exactly what IL dishes out.
Hail-Resistant Construction
Malarkey's NEX polymer-modified asphalt flexes on impact instead of cracking. After the April 2023 hail event in Logan Square, we saw zero granule loss on Malarkey Vista AR roofs we'd installed the prior year.
Freeze-Thaw Cycle Defense
Chicago's 30+ annual freeze-thaw swings crack brittle shingles and open seams. Malarkey's rubberized base mat holds adhesion through sub-zero polar vortex temps and 90°F July afternoons alike.
Algae Resistance Built In
IL humidity breeds algae streaks fast. Every Malarkey shingle uses copper-infused granules — no separate treatment, no extra cost, 15-year algae-resistance backed by Malarkey's written warranty.
Certified Installer
What 'Malarkey Certified Installer' Actually Means
Malarkey doesn't hand out certifications freely. We earned ours through verified installation volume, crew training on their Vue and Legacy products, and a clean warranty claim record. That status means Malarkey backs our work with their full manufacturer warranty — not just material coverage.
When we install Malarkey shingles on your Logan Square two-flat or Evanston commercial flat, you get paperwork tied to Illinois License #104-014892 and a warranty you can actually register. We've held this certification since 2014 and renewed it every cycle. It shows up on your estimate.
