Rampart Roofing has always promoted the Tamko product line to its customers as a Tamko Certified Contractor. Now we are becoming Malarkey certified, as well, because we feel the extra training, education, and certification helps us serve our customers even better. When it comes to providing homeowners with world-class service and materials, we want to be the best roofing company Colorado Springs has to offer.
It all comes down to Impact Resistant shingles.
Why Pay More for Impact Resistant Shingles?
The name “Impact Resistant shingles” says it all.
For starters, these shingles easily withstand more storm and weather damage than a standard shingle. Some insurance companies offer incentives or premium discounts to their customers who purchase IR (Impact Resistant) shingles, as well. This isn’t immediate payback, but over the life of the insurance policy, the upgrade more than pays for itself.
However, impact resistant really does mean just that— resistant. Damage can still occur during extreme weather. Impact from large, wind-driven hail, for instance, will damage most any shingle on the market– and most cars, windows, and construction equipment, too. Mother nature can be fierce.
No company will guarantee that a shingle will never sustain damage, but good manufacturers keep improving their shingles to minimize the impact of hail. And some, like Malarkey, are succeeding.
The Anatomy of a Malarkey Shingle
Malarkey carries one of the most impact-resistant shingles on the market, and their shingles definitely live up to their name. These extra-tough shingles combine a unique blend of polymer and asphalt for extra durability.
Malarkey’s unique, Flexor™ SBS polymer-modified asphalt technology promotes extreme weather protection in an Impact Resistant shingle, featured in their Legacy and Windsor™ product lines.
Not all shingle manufacturers produce an impact resistant shingle. Malarkey’s IR shingles also carry a Class A Fire rating which, for some parts of our Colorado Springs community, is important. We feel it is important to offer these extra-durable shingles to our customers, because extreme conditions affect our homes almost yearly.
In order to better serve the community as the most trusted roofing company Colorado Springs has to offer, we feel we need to constantly improve our training and seek out better shingles.
We work hard to know our roofing materials, and we already know Colorado Springs, so we can help our customers make the right roofing choices for their homes. Every time. So if you’re considering a new roof upgrade, contact Rampart Roofing for a free inspection, today!
