ROOFING GUIDE · ILLINOIS & NEVADA
Malarkey shingles for your home
Compare Highlander, Vista, Legacy, and Windsor with a team that pays as much attention to your installation as your shingle choice.
Same-Day Estimate(no appointment required)↗Choose the line. Understand the difference.
Malarkey’s NEX rubberized asphalt runs through its architectural shingle offering. The comparison is about the specific profile, impact classification, finish, and warranty—not simply “asphalt versus rubberized.”
| Product family | What changes | What to discuss |
|---|---|---|
| Highlander | Architectural shingle using NEX rubberized asphalt. | An entry point within the Malarkey family. |
| Vista | Architectural profile with a Class 4 impact classification. | Compare the sample, construction, and warranty with Highlander. |
| Legacy Scotchgard | An upgraded architectural option, also Class 4. | Profile depth, algae protection, and warranty terms. |
| Windsor | A more pronounced designer profile. | The larger visual statement and assembly details. |
| Highlander Cool / Vista Cool | Solar-reflective regional options. | Exact color ratings and availability for your address. |
This is a product-family guide, not a local inventory list. Colors, regional lines, and availability can change. Your written proposal identifies the exact materials.
What this means for a Nevada home.
For a Summerlin or Centennial Hills project, we review your existing roof, the look of the surrounding exterior, HOA requirements, and access around the home. A cool-color option is worth comparing by its actual published rating; the color name alone is not enough.
A Mt. Charleston roof needs a separate conversation about the site, snow, fire classification, and water protection. We don’t copy a valley specification onto a mountain home.
The care stays part of the plan.
Whichever shingle you choose, we help coordinate the decisions, document the installation, and plan cleanup. Your estimate explains the deck work, protective layers, flashings, ventilation, and finishing details.

A few questions, answered.
Can I choose a brand before getting an estimate?
Yes. Tell us the brand or product you like, or send a reference photo. We’ll confirm suitability and availability and help you compare alternatives.
Does an impact rating mean the roof is hail-proof?
No. An impact classification describes performance in a particular test. It is not a guarantee against hail damage, and product warranties have their own terms.
Why does the installation scope matter when I compare quotes?
Deck repairs, underlayment, flashings, ventilation, access, disposal, and cleanup all affect the project. We explain those details alongside the chosen shingle so you can compare complete proposals.
