When a home’s exterior demands both a luxury aesthetic and proven performance, compromising on materials is not an option. This is especially true in communities with Homeowners Association (HOA) guidelines that dictate appearance. This was the case for a recent residential project in Garden City, Idaho. Malarkey Roofing Products® is proud to showcase the exceptional work of Weathertight Roofing, Inc., which roofed this home with a superior finish that satisfied architectural requirements and ensured decades of protection.

The challenge for the homeowner was transitioning from a traditional cedar shake roof. The HOA required a shingle that retained that classic shake-like appearance. To achieve this sophisticated, high-dimensional look without sacrificing durability, Weathertight Roofing selected the premier designer roofing shingle from Malarkey: the Windsor® Scotchgard™. 

The Windsor Scotchgard: A True Designer Roofing Shingle

Malarkey created the Windsor Scotchgard line to offer homeowners the deep, dimensional profile of genuine cedar shakes while delivering the unmatched resilience of an asphalt shingle. This blend of luxury design with high performance makes it an ideal designer roofing shingle for upscale homes and communities with stringent aesthetic rules.

Weathertight Roofing flawlessly installed approximately 27 squares of the Windsor Scotchgard in the Weathered Wood color blend. Naturally, this color choice complements the Idaho landscape. It also provides a timeless curb appeal that will remain popular for years to come. The high-profile design of this shingle line adds the necessary texture and shadow lines to truly elevate the home’s presence. It also successfully replaced the previous cedar shake. Furthermore, these premium shingles were sourced locally from the ABC Supply location in Nampa, Idaho.

Advanced Technology Built into Every Designer Roofing Shingle

Beyond its striking visual appeal, the Windsor shingle embodies superior technology.  Advanced roofing technology is a core tenet of the Malarkey brand philosophy. This designer roofing shingle is fortified with several advanced features to ensure all-weather performance and lasting sustainability:

• Algae Defense: Each shingle integrates 3M Scotchgard Protector. This blend of copper-containing granules is designed to resist unsightly black streaks caused by algae growth. This is an essential defense that maintains the stunning integrity of the Weathered Wood color year after year, preventing premature discoloration.
• Impact Resistance: Malarkey’s designer roofing shingles are engineered with our proprietary NEX polymer-modified (rubberized) asphalt technology. This material utilizes recycled rubber and plastic polymers, enhancing flexibility and strength. Because of this modification, the shingles are better suited to resist wind damage and hail impact. It has achieved the highest possible rating of Class 4 impact resistance from testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
• A Sustainable Choice: By incorporating upcycled materials into the NEX asphalt, each average-sized roof installed with our shingles diverts the equivalent of roughly five rubber tires and 3,200 plastic bags from landfills. This demonstrates a commitment to sustainability that goes beyond typical roofing materials.
