Most homeowners don't think about their roof until something goes wrong. A leak, a stain on the ceiling, shingles in the yard after a windy day. By then, the damage is already done. This Simi Valley homeowner didn't wait for that moment - they got ahead of it, and the result speaks for itself.
We installed Malarkey's Riverstone Grey shingles on this home, and it's a color that just works. That cool, multi-toned grey sits perfectly against the surrounding landscape and gives the house a clean, modern look without being flashy about it. It's the kind of color that holds up visually for decades - which makes sense, because this product is built to hold up physically for decades too.
Here's what really matters with this install - the Malarkey 50-year non-prorated manufacturer warranty. Most roofing warranties are prorated, meaning the coverage shrinks over time. A non-prorated warranty doesn't work that way. You get the same level of protection in year 30 as you do in year one. That's a meaningful difference, and it's one of the main reasons we recommend Malarkey to homeowners who are serious about long-term value.
Beyond the shingles themselves, the details of the installation matter just as much. Proper ventilation, clean ridge lines, tight work around penetrations like vents and the chimney - all of it affects how long the system performs. Cutting corners on any of those things is how you end up with a roof that fails well before its time.
If your roof is starting to show its age - whether it's granule loss, curling edges, or just the general wear that comes with years of sun and weather exposure - it's worth having a conversation before a small issue becomes a big one.
