New Malarkey Shingle Roof Built for Alaska's Toughest Conditions

Alaska doesn't play nice with roofs. Between the freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, ice damming, and wind - your roof takes a beating that most materials simply aren't designed to handle. That's exactly why the right shingle choice matters so much up here.

We installed a full Malarkey shingle roof on this home, and we'd be hard pressed to find a better-suited product for Alaska's climate. Malarkey shingles are engineered with rubberized asphalt technology, which gives them flexibility in extreme cold. That's a big deal when standard shingles can crack and split the moment temperatures drop below zero.

The installation itself is just as important as the product. Every course is laid tight and consistent, with proper overlap and fastening that keeps wind and water from finding weak points. Up here, a sloppy install doesn't just look bad - it fails. We don't cut corners on the details that actually protect your home.

A lot of homeowners wait too long to replace a roof because they're not sure what to watch for. If your shingles are curling, granules are showing up in your gutters, or you've had any ice dam damage, those are signs worth taking seriously before another winter rolls around. Getting ahead of it is always cheaper than dealing with water damage inside your home.

We take residential roofing seriously because we live here too. We know what Alaska throws at these homes, and we build roofs that are ready for it.
