Sustainability
LESS WASTE. MORE ROOF.

rubber tires upcycled
plastic bags upcycled
trees' worth of smog cleaned
Color Options
FIND YOUR SHADE.
The full Malarkey architectural range. Matching shades come in high-profile EZ-Ridge® XT and low-profile RidgeFlex® hip and ridge shingles, so the peaks match the field. Two shades are marked Highlander only — Malarkey runs those out of a single plant, so ask us before you set your heart on one.

Highlander onlyIvory MistPhotographs of shingles may not accurately represent their true colour or the variations of colour blend that appear on a finished roof. Before installation we lay out five or six shingles on site so you can confirm the shade in daylight. Colours are subject to change and are not available in all regions — we'll confirm current stock when we quote your job.
Ventilation
4 SEASON SOLAR AIR VENTS.
Solar-powered ventilation that pulls hot, damp air out of your attic without touching your power bill. In our climate that means less trapped moisture through the wet months and less heat load in summer — both of which shorten a roof's life when left alone.
- Runs on its own solar panel — no wiring, no meter impact
- Reduces attic heat and moisture build-up year round
- Pairs with balanced intake at the soffits
- Available as an add-on with any replacement

Skylights
COLUMBIA SKYLIGHTS.
When we put a skylight in a Somerville roof, it's a Columbia. Canada's leading skylight manufacturer, and in our view the best skylight available in North America — which matters, because a skylight is a hole in your roof and the flashing around it is where cheap units fail.
- Fixed and venting units available
- Flashed into the new roof system, not retrofitted around it
- Curb and deck-mount options to suit the roof pitch
Not Just Shingles
WE REPLACE EVERYTHING.
A roof is only as good as the metal around it. On a replacement we renew the flashings, valley metal, drip edge, pipe boots, vents and chimney flashing — not just the shingles over top of tired components.
