Comprehensive Warranty Protection

At GreenIdahoRoofing.com, we understand that your roof is a significant investment, and we’re committed to ensuring that investment is protected for decades. That’s why we partner with Malarkey Roofing Products, a brand known for its industry-leading warranties. With a Malarkey roof, you’re not just getting exceptional performance—you’re also getting peace of mind backed by some of the best warranty protections available.

    • Long-Term Coverage for Homeowners
      Malarkey shingles come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which covers defects in materials or manufacturing for as long as you own your home.

      • This warranty reflects Malarkey’s confidence in their products, providing comprehensive protection that ensures your roof is built to last.

      • Whether it’s minor manufacturing issues or more significant defects, this warranty has you covered.

    • Industry-Leading Durability
      The Limited Lifetime Warranty is backed by Malarkey’s proven track record of creating durable, reliable shingles.

      • With advanced features like NEX® Polymer Modified Asphalt, superior granule retention, and enhanced wind resistance, Malarkey shingles are designed to outperform and outlast traditional options.

    • Protection Against High Winds
      When installed with enhanced practices, Malarkey shingles are rated for wind resistance up to 130 mph. This rating far exceeds the performance of standard shingles, providing superior protection against severe storms.

      • The enhanced wind warranty ensures that even in hurricane-force winds, your roof stays intact and functional, safeguarding your home from water damage and structural issues.

      • This coverage offers additional peace of mind for homeowners in areas prone to high winds or extreme weather events.

    • Stain-Free Coverage
      Malarkey shingles featuring Scotchgard™ Protector come with a warranty specifically designed to prevent discoloration and streaking caused by algae growth.

      • This warranty ensures that your roof retains its clean and vibrant appearance, even in high-humidity or shaded environments where algae growth is more common.

      • With this added layer of protection, you can trust that your roof will look as good as it performs for years to come.

    • Comprehensive Installation Coverage
      At GreenIdahoRoofing.com, we go a step further by offering a 10-Year Workmanship Warranty on every roof we install.

      • This warranty guarantees that your roof will be free from workmanship defects for a full decade.

      • If any issues arise due to our installation, we’ll address them promptly and at no additional cost to you.

    • Paired with Malarkey’s Manufacturer Warranty
      Our workmanship warranty complements Malarkey’s product warranty, providing you with double protection.

      • This combined coverage ensures that your roof is safeguarded against both material defects and installation errors.

  • Malarkey’s Limited Lifetime Warranty offers coverage for defects in materials and manufacturing. This includes:

    • Materials: The warranty covers the cost of Malarkey shingles and components, such as starter shingles and ridge caps, in the event of a manufacturing defect.

    • Labor and Disposal Costs: During the Right Start™ Period, Malarkey’s warranty covers not just materials but also the cost of labor for removal and replacement of defective shingles, as well as disposal costs for the bad roof materials.

      • After the Right Start™ Period ends, the warranty prorates, covering only a portion of the materials based on the roof’s age. Labor, disposal, and non-Malarkey materials (e.g., metal drip edges or vents) are not covered after this period.

    • Non-Malarkey Materials: The warranty does not extend to non-Malarkey components like drip edges, ventilation systems, or flashing. However, at GreenIdahoRoofing.com, we ensure these components are installed to the highest standards, reducing the likelihood of future issues.

    For full warranty details, customers are encouraged to review the official warranty document: Malarkey Shingle Warranty PDF.

    • Pro-Rated Coverage for Long-Term Peace of Mind
      Over time, Malarkey’s Limited Lifetime Warranty transitions to pro-rated coverage, providing long-term support even after the initial full-coverage period.

      • This ensures that you continue to receive value from your investment for decades to come.

    • Understanding Proration

      Proration is a system that adjusts warranty coverage based on the age of your roof. Here’s how it works:

      1. Malarkey divides the total lifespan of the roof into equal segments based on the warranty length.

        1. Vista® Shingles: Use 30 years as the baseline for calculating proration.

          • While the shingles may last up to 40 years, the warranty typically aligns with a 30-year period.

        2. Legacy® Shingles: Use 50 years as the baseline for calculating proration.

          • This aligns with Malarkey's Limited Lifetime Warranty structure and the durability of the product.

        3. Windsor® Shingles: Use 50 years as the baseline for calculating proration.

          • Like Legacy shingles, Windsor shingles are expected to have a 50-year warranty period for proration purposes.

      2. Coverage decreases incrementally each year after the Right Start™ Period ends, reflecting the age and expected wear of the roof.

      3. If the roof is within the Right Start™ Period (20 years for Legacy® and Windsor®, shorter for Vista®), full coverage for materials and labor applies. Once the Right Start™ Period ends, proration begins, with coverage decreasing incrementally each year based on the total warranty duration above.

      • Example Calculation: Let’s say you have a Legacy® Scotchgard™ roof with a total cost of $26,000. Here’s what the warranty would look like if a defect occurred in year 25:

    1. Right Start™ Period: For the first 20 years, the warranty provides full coverage for materials, labor, and disposal.

    2. Prorated Period: After year 20, the warranty transitions to prorated coverage.

      • The total lifespan for proration calculation is 50 years.

      • By year 25, 5 years have passed since the end of the Right Start™ Period.

      • Proration formula: (50 - 25) ÷ 50 = 50% coverage remaining.

    3. What Is Covered in Year 25?

      • Malarkey would cover 50% of the cost of materials for defective shingles.

      • Labor, disposal, and non-Malarkey materials would not be covered at this stage.

    4. For example:

      • Material cost for the roof: $12,000

      • Malarkey would pay 50% of $12,000 = $6,000.

      • The homeowner would be responsible for the remaining material costs, labor, disposal, and non-Malarkey components.

  • At GreenIdahoRoofing.com, we make the warranty process effortless. Unlike other roofing companies, we won’t just help you register your warranty—we’ll do it for you.

    • During the final walkthrough and closing meeting, we’ll provide you with a copy of your registered warranty, ensuring you have everything you need to protect your investment.

    • If a warranty claim ever arises, we’ll assist you in navigating the process, acting as your advocate to ensure a smooth resolution.

  • At GreenIdahoRoofing.com, we understand that a roof isn’t just a shield for your home—it’s an investment that adds value and appeal to your property. Malarkey’s transferable warranty ensures that this investment extends beyond your time in the home, offering peace of mind and added value for future buyers.

    How the Transfer Works

    • When you sell your home, the Malarkey warranty can be transferred to the new owner, ensuring they benefit from the same comprehensive coverage that gave you peace of mind.

    • This transfer process is simple and straightforward, requiring just a notification to Malarkey within the specified timeframe (outlined in the warranty document).

    Why It Matters

    • Boost Your Home’s Value: A transferable warranty is a significant selling point, as buyers are often reassured by knowing they’re inheriting a well-maintained and protected roof.

    • Competitive Advantage: In a competitive real estate market, a roof with a transferable warranty can set your home apart, making it more appealing to potential buyers.

    • Seamless Continuity: The new owner steps into your shoes with the warranty intact, eliminating concerns about roof issues and repairs for years to come.

    Example of How It Works

    Imagine you installed a new Legacy® Scotchgard™ roof on your home in 2025. By 2035, you decide to sell your property. Here’s how the warranty plays out for the new homeowner:

    1. Your Warranty Coverage:

      • For the first 20 years (2025–2045), your roof is under the Right Start™ Period, which provides full coverage for materials, labor, and disposal for manufacturing defects.

      • The new homeowner inherits this warranty, meaning they’ll have 10 years remaining in the Right Start™ Period at the time of purchase.

    2. Transfer Process:

      • During the home sale, you notify GreenIdahoRoofing.com or Malarkey of the ownership change (following their guidelines for transfer within the warranty document).

      • The new owner receives documentation confirming the transferred warranty, providing them with continued coverage.

    3. Prorated Warranty Coverage:

      • After the Right Start™ Period ends in 2045, the warranty transitions to prorated coverage. For example, if the new homeowner encounters an issue in 2050 (25 years after installation), they’d still receive 50% coverage for material replacement, as calculated by the prorated formula.
