The Malarkey Secure Choice System

The Malarkey Secure Choice System is more than just shingles—it’s a complete roofing system where all components work together to provide maximum protection for your home. Each part of the system is designed to complement the others, creating a cohesive barrier that shields your home from the elements:

• Ice and Water Barrier
• Underlayments
• Starter Shingles
• Field Shingles
• Hip and Ridge Shingles

Ice and Water Barrier

The Ice and Water Barrier is the first layer of protection in the Malarkey Secure Choice System. This polymer-modified self-adhering underlayment barrier is crucial in preventing water infiltration, especially in vulnerable areas like valleys, eaves, and around chimneys. This barrier helps to prevent ice dams from forming, which can lead to water seeping under your shingles and into your home. The Ice and Water Barrier also provides a protective layer that helps prevent leaks during heavy rainstorms, ensuring that your roof remains watertight, no matter the weather.

Underlayments

Next in the Secure Choice System are the Underlayments. These layers are installed over the roof deck and under the shingles, providing an additional barrier against moisture and wind. The underlayments act as a secondary layer of protection, ensuring that even if the shingles are damaged, your home remains protected. They also help to enhance the overall performance of the roof by improving its ability to shed water and withstand high winds and can be used with asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, metal, and other roofing products.

Starter Shingles

The Starter Shingles are the foundation of the shingle system. They are installed along the eaves and rakes of the roof, providing a secure base for the rest of the shingles. Starter shingles are designed to help prevent wind uplift, which can cause shingles to blow off during storms. By using high-quality starter shingles from Malarkey, Spruce Up NW ensures that your roof is built to withstand the strong winds that are common in the Pacific Northwest.

Field Shingles

The Field Shingles are the main component of the roofing system and cover the majority of the roof’s surface. These polymer-modified asphalt roofing shingles are designed to provide maximum protection against the elements while enhancing the curb appeal of your home with design shingle options. They are available in a variety of colors and styles, allowing you to choose a look that complements your home’s exterior.

Hip and Ridge Shingles

In addition to starter and field shingles, hip and ridge shingles are installed along the hips and ridges of the roof, providing a finished look and added protection. These shingles are designed to be flexible and durable, ensuring a tight seal at the most vulnerable areas of the roof. The hip and ridge shingles are also an important part of the ventilation system, allowing hot air to escape from the attic while preventing moisture from entering.
