A Noble Effort in Niagara Falls

Noble Roofing Delivers Premium Protection for a Complex Canadian Estate

Project Details at a Glance:

Summary: Noble Roofing recently completed a massive 100-square residential roofing project in Niagara Falls, Ontario. With a complex roof layout and the need to protect property beneath the roofline, the team installed Malarkey’s Vista® AR architectural shingles. The homeowner demanded the absolute best quality available. Thanks to Malarkey’s rubberized NEX® Polymer Modified Asphalt, Noble Roofing delivered superior weather defense and algae resistance for this expansive home.

When a residential roofing project reaches 100 squares—an impressive 10,000 square feet of roofing surface—the stakes appear to increase, too. Projects of this magnitude require exceptional logistical planning and expert craftsmanship. They also require roofing materials that can match the scale and grandeur of the estate. When a homeowner in Niagara Falls, Ontario, requested “the best quality” for their sprawling home, the team at Noble Roofing knew exactly which product to recommend.

 

Tight Access and High-Value Property

Every roofing project comes with its own set of obstacles. This estate presented a combination of challenges. The home featured a unique architectural layout with especially tight access in certain areas. This made maneuvering and material handling a delicate operation.

Furthermore, the team faced the critical challenge of protecting the property during the extensive roof tear-off process. With a pool and other expensive assets located directly under the roofline and nearby, the crew had to execute removal work with precision. Through meticulous site management and a commitment to customer care, Noble Roofing successfully navigated the complex layout while keeping the homeowner’s valuable property safe.

Why Malarkey? The Customer Wanted the Best

When the mandate from the customer is simply “the best,” contractors need a product that excels in both performance and curb appeal. Noble Roofing selected Malarkey’s Vista® AR architectural shingles in the Heather color blend.

The foundation of the Vista AR shingle’s performance is our proprietary NEX® Polymer Modified (Rubberized) Asphalt. By blending high-grade asphalt with upcycled polymers and synthetic rubber, Malarkey creates a shingle core that is highly flexible and incredibly tough. This makes it resistant to the cracking and brittleness that plague traditional oxidized asphalt shingles. To ensure the massive roof was protected at every point, Noble Roofing installed a complete Malarkey system. This included Smart Start® starter shingles and RidgeFlex® hip and ridge shingles.

Superior Protection and Sustainability

By choosing Vista AR architectural shingles, Noble Roofing provided the homeowner with a roof that goes beyond standard weatherproofing. It offers premium protection and sustainability with the following features:

  • Algae Resistance (AR): The “AR” in Vista AR stands for Algae Resistant. These shingles have specialized granules that help prevent the dark, unsightly streaks caused by blue-green algae growth. 
  • Class 4 Impact Rating: Vista AR shingles boast a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, providing the highest level of defense against the impacts of severe weather and hail.
  • Superior Wind Uplift Protection: Malarkey architectural shingles feature The Zone®—a wider, patented nailing area—these shingles ensure accurate fastener placement, dramatically improving the roof’s resistance to high winds and potential blow-off.
  • Sustainable Engineering: The Vista shingle line incorporates upcycled materials, such as reclaimed rubber tires and plastic bags, significantly reducing landfill waste.
  • Air-Cleaning Technology: Integrated 3M™ Smog-Reducing Granules use sunlight to photocatalytically convert smog gases into water-soluble ions, actively cleaning the air around the home.
