Eco-Friendly Shingles Recommended By Asscher Roofing
What are Malarkey Shingles?
Malarkey was founded in 1956 on a mission to create a more sustainable way to make a shingle. They succeeded and created Eco-Friendly Shingles combined with high-grade asphalt with virgin rubber polymers as well as recycled rubber and plastic polymers. This polymer-modified asphalt technology rubberizes the core of the shingle for superior all-weather resistance, longer product life, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally they contain copper coated smog-reducing granules help clean the air of emission pollutants.
This blog post will cover the many benefits of Malarkey shingles and the different shingles they have available and why we love them:

Resists Wind & Rain - Wind warranties from 110-130 mph
Resists Algae- Scotchgard protector to help prevent black algae streaks
