[TooMuchRoofing]

Y'all need to jump on the Malarkey train. Grab a Malarkey Highlander or Vista and every other shingle you've talked about and beat the hell out of them. That Highlander holds up better than all of them. Jump to the Vista for a class 4 hail rating and 20% thicker base. Not to mention the 2 inch fully backed nail strip is killer. Nobody hits the nail strip on the OC, Tamco, or GAF. Every other brand loses 20% of their granules in the first year, Malarkey's only lose 1% in the first year. Not enough for you? Every other brand is about to start using their rubberized asphalt blend over the next ten years. It's like memory foam: goes right back into place if lifted or shifted. I primarily do remodels, so i see all the consequences of new con roofers making dumb decisions and picking crap products. I replace more 15 year old OC shingles than anything else. Tamco isn't even in the running. Looks fine at the beginning, looks like shit after 5 years.
