February is historically the peak month for heavy snow and ice, placing significant stress on your roof structure. While Malarkey shingles are tough—their NEX® Rubberized Asphalt resists damage—a true defense lies in the complete roof system.

Proper ventilation is critical; a balanced system minimizes heat loss from the attic, preventing the melt/refreeze cycle that forms ice dams. Furthermore, Malarkey’s system components, like high-quality underlayment and starter strips, work together to create a robust, watertight barrier against water intrusion caused by wind-driven rain and melting snow.

Northwind Exteriors specializes in the full system installation, ensuring that every layer—from the deck up to the Class 4 impact-rated shingles—is secure. If your roof has suffered damage from high winds or weight stress, remember that we are here to help. We are experts in insurance restoration and can accurately assess the damage, documenting it correctly for your claim.

Don't let snow and ice compromise your home’s integrity. Proactive inspection and superior materials like Malarkey mean peace of mind through February’s freeze.
