Malarkey Vista: Premium Architectural Shingles
The Malarkey Vista line is our most-installed residential shingle. Vista shingles feature Malarkey's Flexor polymer modified asphalt for superior granule adhesion and flexibility in temperature extremes: critical for Indiana's freeze-thaw cycles. Available in colors like Storm Gray, Brilliant Black, and Black Oak, Vista shingles provide a rich, dimensional appearance that enhances any home's architecture.
Vista shingles include Scotchgard Protector by 3M as standard, preventing the black algae streaks that plague conventional shingles within 5-10 years. The Class 4 impact rating provides proven hail resistance, which can qualify homeowners for insurance premium discounts. Our Preferred Contractor status ensures your Vista installation meets Malarkey's specifications for full warranty activation.
Malarkey Highlander: Impact-Resistant Performance
The Malarkey Highlander is engineered for maximum durability in storm-prone regions. Like Vista, Highlander carries a Class 4 impact rating and Scotchgard protection, but with additional weight and thickness that provides enhanced wind resistance up to 130 mph. Highlander is available in popular colors including Black Oak, Natural Wood, Weathered Wood Plus, and Storm Gray.
For Indianapolis homeowners who want the highest level of storm protection, Highlander is the premium choice. The heavier construction resists blow-off in high winds and withstands larger hailstones without cracking. Combined with proper underlayment and flashing details from our installation team, a Highlander roof provides decades of reliable protection.
Why SPG Installs Malarkey
We chose Malarkey as our primary residential roofing partner based on years of field experience comparing shingle performance across manufacturers. Malarkey's Flexor polymer modified asphalt consistently outperforms standard oxidized asphalt in granule retention, flexibility, and longevity. Our crews have installed over 180 Malarkey roofs across central Indiana, and the warranty claim rate is virtually zero.
As a Preferred Contractor, SPG has direct access to Malarkey's technical support, enhanced warranty programs, and the latest product training. This relationship means our homeowners receive better warranty coverage than standard installations, and our installers are always current on Malarkey's evolving best practices.
Color Selection & Design Consultation
Choosing the right shingle color impacts your home's curb appeal and can influence resale value. Malarkey offers a carefully curated palette across both Vista and Highlander lines, from classic Storm Gray and Driftwood to bold Brilliant Black and Natural Wood. Our design consultation process includes sample boards, drone-captured aerial views of your existing roof, and digital visualization tools.
We help homeowners coordinate shingle color with existing brick, stone, siding, and trim to create a cohesive exterior appearance. Indiana homeowners increasingly choose darker, high-contrast colors for modern curb appeal, while traditional neighborhoods tend toward earth tones. Either way, every Malarkey color includes Scotchgard protection to maintain its appearance for decades.

What Our Customers Say
“First time doing business with SPG. Worked with Jeremy Hilton over several weeks, and he was very attentive – persistent without being obnoxious, always quick to respond. After nailing down the product details and price for a roof and gutter replacement job, everything went smoothly. I spotted several workers taking additional time on smaller details that most miss, so I’m happy to leave a glowing review. Crews looked great and arrived and departed exactly when SPG predicted and cleaned up well.”
“I recently moved into my Franklin home and have contracted several companies for home improvements. Due to the tornadoes in the area in late March, I had roof damage and needed quick assessment to avoid more interior damage. I called Grady Phillips at SPG as they did the roof replacement on my previous home. By that afternoon, my roof was tarped to prevent more damage. Grady and the team worked with my insurance company to get me coverage for a complete roof replacement. They completed the project within a few weeks. Jordan, the on-site manager, answered all my questions and kept me fully informed. The construction team was respectful and quick. I am very happy with the whole process and my new roof. They have been the best home repair company that I have worked with this year.”
“We had hail damage to our home and detached garage and SPG were prompt with providing an estimate, very friendly and helpful with our questions, and provided exceptional service. They worked with our insurance company (not an easy task) and were in constant communication with us. Their roofing and siding crews worked very hard and cleaned up after the job was complete. I would strongly recommend you contact SPG for your next job. Dustin and AJ will take great care of you and your home through the entire process!”
