Stanley Roof and Solar is a Malarkey Certified Premium Contractor installing Highlander, Vista, Legacy, Ecoasis, and Windsor shingle lines throughout Vancouver, WA and the Portland metro. Certification unlocks enhanced warranty coverage most contractors can’t offer.
Malarkey Roofing Products is the manufacturer behind most of our asphalt shingle roofing work, part of the broader roofing services Stanley Roof and Solar provides, and it’s the brand we install most often across a full roof installation, a roof repair, or a full roof replacement.
Being Malarkey Certified Premium isn’t just a badge on our website. It means Malarkey’s own technical team has reviewed our installation work in person, and that review is what unlocks warranty coverage most contractors simply aren’t eligible to offer, regardless of how good their workmanship might be.
Malarkey runs a tiered contractor certification program, and Certified Premium sits at the top of it. To reach that level, a contractor has to complete both Certified Pro and Certified Premium training, and Malarkey’s own technical team inspects the contractor’s installation work in person before granting the status, not just a paperwork review. According to Malarkey’s certified contractor program, Premium-level contractors have gone beyond standard training and had their craftsmanship checked directly by the manufacturer.
That status is what lets Stanley Roof and Solar offer Malarkey’s enhanced Premium warranty, which adds workmanship coverage on top of standard material coverage when a complete Secure Choice roof system is installed using at least four qualifying Malarkey accessories. In practical terms, that means the underlayment, starter strip, ridge cap, and ventilation components all come from the same manufacturer as the shingles, not mixed and matched to save money on the parts nobody sees.
Malarkey Roofing Products has been based in Portland, Oregon since Herbert Malarkey founded the company in 1956, which means the shingles on many roofs in Clark County and the Portland metro come from a manufacturer with deep roots in this exact region. Malarkey’s product line also extends beyond residential shingles into commercial roofing systems, which is part of why we also install Malarkey products on some of our commercial roofing projects. Over the decades, Malarkey has built a track record of firsts in the industry:
Malarkey Roofing Products is based right here in the Pacific Northwest, which shows in how its shingle lines are engineered. Rather than a one-size-fits-all national product, Malarkey builds algae-resistant granule technology into most of its architectural lines specifically to handle a region where moss and algae staining are a routine maintenance issue, not an occasional one.
That regional focus extends to how the shingles perform against sustained rain. According to the National Weather Service, the Portland-Vancouver metro averages well over 150 rainy days a year, exactly the kind of sustained moisture exposure Malarkey’s sealant strips and granule adhesion are engineered to hold up against, rather than the shorter, more intense rain events common in other parts of the country. Combined with wind ratings that reach up to 130 mph on select lines when installed with the manufacturer’s full fastening and accessory requirements, Malarkey shingles are built around the specific demands of Vancouver and Portland’s climate, not adapted from a product designed for somewhere drier.
Malarkey produces several distinct shingle lines, each suited to a different budget and style preference, and all engineered for the same wet Pacific Northwest climate we work in every day. Here’s a closer look at the options available for your project.
Shingle Line | Description | Best For |
Highlander | Entry-level architectural shingle with Class 3 impact resistance | Budget-conscious homeowners who still want an architectural profile |
Vista | Mid-tier architectural shingle, Class 4 impact resistance, thicker construction and stronger wind rating than Highlander | Homeowners wanting better storm performance without the premium price tag |
Legacy | Malarkey’s premium architectural shingle, Class 4 impact resistance, greatest tear strength and highest wind rating in the lineup | Homeowners wanting the strongest available performance and warranty coverage |
Ecoasis | Solar-reflective, cool-roof shingle line with smog-reducing granule technology | Homeowners focused on energy efficiency and our eco-roofing options |
Windsor | Heavyweight designer shingle with a cedar-shake-inspired open-tab look, Class 4 impact resistance | Homeowners wanting distinctive curb appeal without sacrificing performance |
We’ll walk you through which line fits your budget, style, and performance priorities during your free inspection, rather than pushing the most expensive option by default.
Malarkey is one of the shingle manufacturers that produces Class 4 impact-resistant products, tested under the same UL 2218 standard covered in more detail on our asphalt shingle roofing page. According to UL Solutions, a Class 4 rating means the shingle passed a test simulating a 2-inch hailstone without cracking, the highest impact resistance rating available for roofing materials. Many insurers offer a discount for installing Class 4 shingles, commonly in the 10 to 30 percent range depending on carrier and state.
Given how often wind and hail come up across storm damage roof repair calls in this region, it’s worth asking about Class 4 options when we go over shingle lines during your inspection, most of all if your property has a history of storm-related claims.
Malarkey warranty terms vary by product line, so it’s worth understanding what’s covered before you assume every shingle carries the same protection.
Coverage | What It Means |
Limited lifetime warranty | Applies to most residential shingle lines when installed on a primary residence |
Right Start period | A non-prorated coverage window, often 5 to 15 years depending on the product, where a covered defect is replaced at full value rather than a prorated amount |
Certified Premium enhanced warranty | Adds workmanship coverage on top of material coverage, available only through a Malarkey Certified Premium contractor installing a complete Secure Choice system |
As a Certified Premium contractor, we register the enhanced warranty as part of every qualifying installation, so the paperwork is handled rather than left for you to track down later.
Cost varies by shingle line, roof size, and complexity, so these figures are a starting point rather than a quote. A full asphalt shingle roof installation runs $7,500 to $24,000, and a single-shingle repair runs $150 to $400, regardless of manufacturer. Within that range, the Malarkey line you choose shifts where you land:
Shingle Line | Relative Cost Tier | What Drives the Difference |
Highlander (including Highlander NEX) | Entry-level | Malarkey’s lowest-cost line that still uses polymer modified rubberized technology |
Legacy | Mid-range | Standard laminated architectural profile and color range |
Vista | Mid to upper-range | Expanded style and color options over Legacy |
Ecoasis | Upper-range | Solar reflective technology adds cost over a standard architectural shingle |
We provide a free inspection and written quote so you know your exact price and which line it reflects before any work starts, and financing options are available for larger projects.
Malarkey has a longer sustainability track record than most shingle manufacturers get credit for.
For homeowners comparing materials on more than just upfront cost, it’s part of why we point people toward our eco-roofing page for a fuller picture of sustainable options.
Not every shingle manufacturer builds the same features into its product line, and the differences matter more once you’re comparing what’s actually protecting your home for the next 20 to 30 years.
Feature | What It Means | Why It Matters |
Regional Manufacturing | Based in the Pacific Northwest, engineered for this specific climate | Products built with local rain, wind, and moss exposure in mind, not a generic national spec |
Recycled Material Composition | Shingles made using recycled materials without sacrificing performance | Appeals to homeowners prioritizing sustainability alongside durability |
Algae-Resistant Granules | Copper-infused granules built into most architectural lines | Resists the dark streaking common in wet, moss-prone climates |
Class 4 Impact Resistance | Select product lines tested under UL 2218 to withstand simulated 2-inch hail | Can qualify for insurance discounts and holds up better in storm-prone areas |
High Wind Ratings | Up to 130 mph on select lines when installed to full manufacturer specification | Well above code minimum, important near the Columbia River Gorge’s wind corridor |
Certified Premium Contractor Program | Enhanced warranty available only through contractors reviewed in person by Malarkey’s technical team | Combines material and workmanship coverage under a single manufacturer-backed claim |

It means we've completed Malarkey's Pro and Premium level training and had our installation work inspected by Malarkey's own technical team. That status is what lets us offer Malarkey's enhanced warranty, which most contractors installing Malarkey shingles can't provide.
Malarkey has a long track record of industry firsts, including early rubberized asphalt technology and algae-resistant shingle innovation, and the company is based in Portland, Oregon, which means the product was developed with this exact climate in mind.
Legacy and Vista are laminated architectural shingles with different style and color options, while Highlander, including Highlander NEX, is Malarkey's entry point into polymer modified rubberized shingle technology at a lower price point. We can walk through samples during your free inspection.
Yes. Malarkey was the first manufacturer to receive the 3M Scotchgard designation for algae resistance, which matters in a region where moss and algae are a routine roofing issue.
Coverage depends on the product line, but most residential shingles carry a limited lifetime warranty on primary residences, plus a non-prorated Right Start period early in the shingle's life. Certified Premium installations can also qualify for enhanced workmanship coverage.
It depends on the line. Highlander is positioned as an entry-level rubberized shingle, while Legacy, Vista, and Ecoasis sit at different price points above it, so there's a range to fit different budgets rather than one fixed price tier. Our cost breakdown above covers where each line tends to land.
Yes, Malarkey produces Class 4 impact-resistant products tested under the UL 2218 standard, which can qualify homeowners for an insurance discount in many states. We can tell you which lines carry that rating during your inspection.
Yes, the Ecoasis line uses solar-reflective, smog-reducing granule technology, and several Malarkey product lines incorporate recycled materials without sacrificing performance, making them a strong fit for homeowners prioritizing sustainability alongside durability.
