Malarkey warranty for roofing, siding & insulation

45/100 Warranty ScoreRanked 6 of 7 brands
The short version

Malarkey doesn't cover everything, but keeps shingles, prorated and wind damage covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 7 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.

From Malarkey's published warranty, checked October 2026.
