Family Business, Industry Leader Since 1956

At Malarkey, we started in Oregon over 65 years ago. Our guiding principle is simple – build the shingles we want on our own homes – made better to last longer, and with less environmental impact.

01

Craftsmanship

Malarkey shingles are engineered with extra adhesive bonds for added protection against wind, rain, and delamination, and a larger nailing area to improve installation speed, ease, and accuracy.

Performance

Unlike standard shingles, which are brittle, easily crack, and quickly lose granules, Malarkey shingles are made of rubberized asphalt for industry-leading tear strength, granule adhesion, and wind & hail resistance.
