Sustainable, High-Performance Rubber Shingles
For the best new roof for your Minnesota home, the choice is obvious: Malarkey shingles installed by our pros at
Lightning Restoration! In our opinion, which comes from more
than 30 years of roofing experience, Malarkey’s rubberized shingles far outperform traditional asphalt
shingles, as well as other popular roofing options like metal and cedar shake.
Check out the industry leading features:
- Class 4 impact rating – many insurance companies offer a
discount for homes with Class 4 shingles
- Wider, stronger wind seal that helps prevent shingle uplift and blow-off
- Up to 50% longer backing shim to help nails penetrate both shingle layers to best prevent blow-offs
- Tapered backing shim to promote waterflow and prevent leaks from troughing
- 50% more laminate bonds than traditional shingles for extra protection.
- Up to 35% greater tear strength to resist stress and cracking
- Larger nailing area to improve installation speed, ease, and accuracy
- Up to 65% better granule adhesion to reduce granule loss
Warranty Protection for Added Peace of Mind
All Malarkey products come with a standard manufacturer’s warranty, which offers limited lifetime coverage against
defects. There’s also an alternative “Your Choice” warranty, where Malarkey will match a competitor’s standard
warranty.
For even better warranty protection, choose Lightning Restoration for your project!
If you select a Malarkey Certified Contractor to install your roof, who also uses Malarkey’s accessories to complete
it, you are eligible for even greater warranty coverage.

Arctic Seal® Ice & Water Barrier
For Minnesota homes, ice and water protection is among the most important considerations for your new roof. That’s
why we recommend Malarkey, which offers two options for ice and water barriers tailored to asphalt shingle roofs.
Made with Malarkey’s proprietary NEX® Polymer Modified Asphalt for extra strength and durability, Arctic Seal® provides an extra
layer of leak protection in critical areas like roof valleys, roof edges, and roof-to-sidewall transitions where
rain, snow, and ice collect. It’s also your best weapon to defend against ice dams!
