Traditional asphalt shingles get brittle over time, making them vulnerable to fractures from hail impacts. Malarkey Bella Vista Class 4 shingles solve this issue by using polymer-modified asphalt.
By blending rubberized polymers with raw asphalt, Malarkey creates a shingle with outstanding elasticity. When hailstones hit a Malarkey Class 4 roof, the rubberized structure absorbs the impact force and bounces back, preventing the asphalt mat from fracturing.
Ramos Roofing Plus is an authorized installer of Malarkey products, offering home and business owners premium storm protection alongside potential homeowner's insurance premium discounts.
Malarkey Bella Vista Class 4 shingles are modified with rubberized polymers (Flexor asphalt technology) that allow them to absorb the impact of hail up to 2 inches in size without fracturing. They are also made with upcycled rubber and plastics, making them more durable and eco-friendly than standard shingles.
Class 4 is the highest impact resistance rating. During testing, steel balls are dropped onto the shingle to simulate hail. If the shingle does not fracture, it receives a Class 4 rating. This protection prevents hail strikes from bruising the asphalt mat, avoiding premature granule loss and leaks.
Yes, because Class 4 shingles reduce the risk of storm damage, many insurance carriers offer substantial premium discounts (often up to 20-30%) to homeowners who install them. We provide the certification documentation required by your insurer to help you secure these discounts.

Malarkey shingles feature a reinforced nail zone and high-strength sealants that anchor them to the deck. They are tested to withstand wind speeds up to 130-150 MPH, preventing blow-offs and wind lift during severe storms in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
