"rocks falling off 13 years"
Noticed excess "rocks" on deck 3 to 4 years ago (told "dont worry about it") Noted I could see edges of shingle now, called roofer... "you have a problem". Approached Malarky... They "graciously" offered $439.83 "warranty" settlement (if I signed agreement not to sue). I estimate roof repair at over $10,000... and yeah, I will sue if need be. I have a lot lower quality shingles on my shop, which is older, with no problems.

"Beware"
3 years ago we re-roofed two homes we currently own. We paid the extra premium and put the Malarkey 50 year warranty shingles on. In the second year we were notified by our local insurance agent the Malarkey shingles had a defective bartch of shingles and to check. We did and ours were bad. We turned in a claim with Malarkey. This was 6 months ago and our agent says ours are completely gone now. They have to be replaced. William Duke at Malarkey estimated our warranty at about 80% of what it will cost to put new shingles on. My cost to re-roof these two homes (with another 50 year shingle) is approxijmately $6,000.00. They won't budge and don't care. I can promise you I will NEVER put another Malarkey shingle on again!!!

"Junk"
My roofer recommended Malarkey shingles. I opted to spend the extra money on class 4 hail resistant Legacy shingles. Forget the hail, every time it rains, there’s a pile of granules at every downspout. I complained first several times. Wasted breath. Totally ignored on complaints. Now 4 years later, we had a good rain 2 days ago, still new piles of granules at every downspout and a collection at the bottom of the driveway. The life of the roof washes right off. Expensive garbage. Buy anyone else's product.

"Total garbage"
This shingle is like cooked spaghetti over 70 degrees, fragile when they're cooler. Extremely easy to damage while walking on them, terrible to install. Stomp tests you see on YouTube is bs. No way you can do that to this shingle without destroying it. Numerous roofers in the area won't install them-roofer that did my 3rd roof(of 3) had to redo 10 squares because they tracked them all up when hot. I NEVER had to worry about that with the ELK shingles that came off that roof. Will never use these again-it's just not a good shingle. Many reports of quality issues with roofers in Denver metro area, some say Malarkey didn't make good on warranty issues. Many quality issues right out of the package-shingles came from OK City plant. GAF now owns Elk and has discontinued the brand or else I would have put the same shingle back on. The 23 year old shingle I took off had more substance to it than the new Malarkey's I put on. Really sad that others are recommending this shingle when it's clearly trash.

"Do not use these"
Installed in 2004 with 30 year warrantee, cost approx $8,000. Gutters were full of grit from the moment installed. 17 years later, was told the shingles had failed. Activated warrantee and was offered $200 as long as a non- disclosure agreement was signed to tell no one of these terms. No replacement/repair offered, only two hundred dollars. Malarkey is a good word for their warrantee. Now a new roof will be $18,000 as long as there is no damage under the shingles so $200 is of no help. Will never use Malarkey products again.

"Very unsatisfied"
We've had this roof for 5 years now. Began blistering after a couple of years. It has lost so much grit, which we find in our gutters, that the color of the roof has gone from an attractive heather to any unattractive redial color. Just waiting for the next hail storm so we can replace. Buyer beware of this company. Yes it is a bunch of Malarky!

"Regional complaints"
I see that most complaints are from areas with high temps and severe weather events being more common. The colder regions seem to have fewer issues. And that is significant, in that regional weather patterns do make a difference. That said I live in far No. Cal. Other new roofs in the area are using the same products as I am having installed. And, I can tell you that not all contractors are the same. Wrong methods helps no one but those contractors. Research research research. I took three months to find the right contractor. We together took a tour of their work from the 90's to last Nov. The proof is in the pudding. It cost me a hundred bucks for his time, but that was cheaper than paying for a second roof.

"Buyer beware"
We received shingles that were defective straight off the factory floor. This company will not stand behind its product. Don't believe all the wonderful things they want to tell you about their product and their company.

"We do not recommend Malarkey Roofing Products"
We do not recommend Malarkey Roofing Products. There was a significant variation in color from the installed product and the marketing materials provided. Malarkey Roofing Products appeared to be more concerned with absolving themselves of any responsibility than providing an acceptable resolution to this issue. The Roofing installation company we hired also agreed that the colors of the installed shingles were quite different than the Marketing Materials that were provided. He did try to help us get some acceptable resolution, but Malarkey Roofing Products maintained their position and was completely inflexible. We understand that there are variations in production lots; however, the installed shingles are not within a normal tolerance. Visually, they are a completely different tone from the marketing brochure and samples (brochure looks like a rich dark brown, whereas the installed shingles are in a medium-to-light Gray family). Be very cautious when doing business that uses Malarky Roofing products.

""Black" Shingles"
Stay far far away!!! Do yourself a favor and stay away from Malarkey. Absolutely terrible customer service an atrocious communication. Filed a claim about defective NEX Shingles regarding color being white/grey when I ordered black shingles and the reps dragged their feet. When I finally got a hold of someone, they told me there would be Zero exceptions made even if there was an issue with color. You've been warned. Go with a better company like Owens Corning, GAF, etc. If you get Malarkey and need anything at all, good luck.
