Our Premium Certification
You don’t just want a qualified roofer installing shingles. You want a roofing contractor the manufacturer trusts. That’s why we made it a priority to become premium certified with Malarkey.
To achieve Malarkey’s certification, we had to undergo multiple thorough roof inspections.
They visited homes we’d installed their shingles on within the last year and analyzed the work we’d done. They wanted to make sure we were doing things correctly and that our installations were meeting their high standards – they were.
Malarkey ensures it can trust the contractors it certifies, which means you can trust the contractors they certify.
Malarkey Vs. GAF
A little healthy competition never hurts anyone, right?
One manufacturer having a monopoly on the market isn’t usually good for consumers. So, the rise of Malarkey, offering homeowners another high-quality shingle option, puts the power of choice in their hands.
The big difference in their advanced installation comes in the components installed.
GAF Golden Pledge Installation
Only one component is different between a GAF base roof and a Golden Pledge roof. The Golden Pledge roof uses a dimensional hip and ridge shingle instead of a three-tab ridge shingle.
Now, the fact that only one component differs doesn’t mean GAF’s Master Elite isn’t essential. It means that the devil is in the details. Master Elite contractors consistently install GAF’s roofs to exact specifications year in and year out.
Malarkey Premium Certification
With Malarkey, there are extra components required to achieve the Premium installation. The whole idea is that solutions are installed before problems occur. They aim to prevent anything that could cause a problem rather than fix it later.
This is important because of Malarkey’s warranty.
They want your roof to last for decades, and installing preventative components and products can reduce the chances you’ll ever need your warranty. This gives you the lifespan and performance you’re looking for.
Another difference to note is that all Malarkey shingles are impact-resistant (hail-resistant). With GAF shingles, impact-resistance is a significant upgrade.
And having impact-resistant shingles could give you a discount on your insurance.
It’s something worth considering.
Malarkey Is Becoming An Increasingly Popular
Option With Houston Homeowners
We used to only sell and install GAF roofs, and we turned to Malarkey originally out of necessity.
Material availability during COVID-19 was becoming a significant challenge. So, we looked for an option that would allow us to provide our Houston homeowners with the same high quality they were used to.
Over the years, Malarkey has proven itself to our community and has risen significantly in popularity. Demand has increased to the extent that we sell about an equal amount of GAF and Malarkey roofs.
They’re that popular.
We fully endorse both brands – choose the one that is better for your budget and home. No matter which one you choose, our craftsmen will deliver exceptional results.
So, when you need a roof replacement in the Greater Houston area and you’re looking for the best product choice combined with the best installation, contact Houston Roofing & Construction to schedule a consultation.
