Why Calgary homes need class 4, impact resistant roofing

National Star Roofing has been built on providing the best roofing products and services to our customers. This is one of many reasons why our company is one of the top-rated residential roofing companies in Calgary. One of the asphalt shingle manufacturers we highly recommend is Malarkey Roofing Products.

Performance tested & engineered

Malarkey shingles are performance engineered to adapt better to changing weather patterns, resisting wind, rain, algae and fire. While no product can completely resist hail damage, Malarkey makes a shingles line with Flexor SBS polymer modified asphalt. This line is classified as being Class 4 impact resistant. All Malarkey shingles are tested and rated as a Class 1,2,3, or 4. Class 4 is the most durable of its product line and is the least likely to see deformation or granule loss. Malarkey’s Class 4 rated asphalt shingles are: Legacy Scotchgard, Windsor and Legacy Scotchgard.

We choose Malarkey Legacy shingle. More important specs below:

Malarkey Legacy wind warranty (110 mph / 177 kph) & enhanced wind arranty (130 mph / 209 kph)

+35% Tear strength & 19% thicker than Malarkey Highlander shingle. NEX polymer modified asphalt technology.

Limited Lifetime warranty with non-prorated period of 20 years. If your shingles fail within 20 years (very generous period) Malarkey pays 100% of the replacement materials and labour costs.

Malarkey shingle lines

The Malarkey Legacy shingle line comes with a limited lifetime warranty, both a limited and enhanced wind warranty, and a 15 year Right Start period. Both the Legacy and Legacy XL malarkey shingles also come with an option Scotchgard Protector from 3M. Due to the superior granule used by Malarkey, you can also feel confident that the shingles you chose will not fade from sun damage.

The Malarkey Windsor shingle line comes with many of the same attributes, but also offer the look of a traditional cedar shake.

The Malarkey Vita & Vista AR shingles are made with NEX polymer modified asphalt. They fall under a Class 3 impact resistance. Malarkey’s Highlander NEX and Highlander NEX AR are also made with NEX polymer modified asphalt technology. The Highlander series provide enhanced granule adhesion and UV resistance.

Signs your Calgary roof has suffered hail damage

After a hailstorm, it’s crucial to assess potential damage to your roof:

Look for evidence of hail impact around your property:
- Dented vehicles
- Damaged siding or garage doors
- Fallen tree limbs or damaged vegetation
Check for these specific roofing issues:
- Granules collecting in gutters or on the ground under downspouts
- Visible dents or dark spots on shingles
- Cracked or broken shingles
- Exposed asphalt where granules have been knocked off

Follow up with professional roof inspection and insurance claim

If you suspect hail damage to your Calgary home, National Star Roofing provides thorough professional inspections:

We evaluate your entire roof, dividing it into sections to count hail strikes
We determine whether repair or replacement is necessary
We can assist with insurance claims and be present during insurance inspections

Many insurance companies offer discounts on monthly premiums for homes with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, recognizing their superior protection in hail-prone regions like Calgary, so make sure you take advantage of that.
