Why One Moore, Oklahoma Homeowner Chose Malarkey Vista® AR Impact-Resistant Shingles Instead of a Standard Roof
When severe weather rolls through Oklahoma, homeowners know one thing for certain: it’s not a matter of if another storm is coming—it’s when. Between hail, high winds, heavy rain, and the intense Oklahoma sun, your roof takes a beating year after year.
We recently completed a beautiful roof replacement in Moore, Oklahoma, for homeowners who originally found us through our online discount roofing program. Like many homeowners, they began by looking for a fair price and an honest contractor. After learning more about the available roofing options, they decided to upgrade from a standard architectural shingle to the Malarkey Vista® AR impact-resistant shingle.
It was a decision they felt good about, and one we believe will continue paying dividends for years to come.
Looking Beyond Price
When these homeowners first contacted Top View Roofing, their goal was simple. They wanted a quality roof at a fair price without dealing with high-pressure sales tactics.
Using our online instant estimate tool, they were able to get an estimate of the replacement cost in just a few minutes. That gave them a realistic starting point before scheduling an inspection.
Once we met with them and discussed the differences between standard architectural shingles and impact-resistant roofing systems, they realized this was one upgrade worth considering.
Living in Moore means living in one of the country’s most active hail corridors. Investing a little more today could potentially save thousands of dollars after the next major storm.
Why They Selected Malarkey Vista® AR
There are many roofing products on the market, but Malarkey has earned a strong reputation for building shingles that perform exceptionally well in demanding climates.
The Vista AR shingle is a Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingle designed to withstand severe weather better than many traditional shingles. While no roof can completely eliminate storm damage, impact-resistant shingles are engineered to reduce damage caused by hail and wind-driven debris.
Another reason our customer appreciated this product is that Malarkey manufactures these shingles right here in Oklahoma, designing them with our weather conditions in mind.
Supporting a company that manufactures locally while installing a premium roofing product was an easy decision.
Built for Oklahoma Weather
Oklahoma weather changes quickly.
One day temperatures can exceed 100 degrees, and the next week hailstones can fall across the metro.
Roofs installed here must withstand:
- Large hail
- High straight-line winds
- Heavy rainfall
- Rapid temperature swings
- Intense ultraviolet exposure
- Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles
That’s exactly why we often recommend impact-resistant roofing systems for homeowners planning to stay in their homes for many years.
Professional Installation Matters
Even the best shingles won’t perform as intended if they’re installed incorrectly.
Our crews followed manufacturer specifications throughout the installation, including:
- Complete removal of the existing roofing system
- Thorough deck inspection
- Replacement of damaged decking where necessary
- Synthetic underlayment installation
- Ice and water protection in critical areas
- Proper starter shingles
- Drip edge installation
- Six nails per shingle for added wind resistance
- Proper ridge ventilation
- Careful flashing installation around penetrations and valleys
- Complete cleanup using magnetic sweepers
Attention to detail during installation is just as important as selecting quality materials.
No Sales Pressure
One thing many homeowners tell us is how refreshing it is to work directly with the owner rather than with multiple commissioned salespeople.
We believe homeowners deserve honest information, clear pricing, and enough time to make the right decision for their family.
There was never any pressure to purchase an upgraded roof.
Instead, we explained the benefits, answered questions, and allowed the homeowners to choose what made the most sense for them.
They selected the Malarkey Vista AR because they believed it offered the best long-term value.
Better Protection for Years Ahead
Impact-resistant shingles provide several advantages:
- Greater resistance to hail damage
- Excellent wind performance
- Attractive architectural appearance
- Long-term durability
- Increased homeowner confidence during storm season
Many homeowners also appreciate that some insurance companies may offer discounts for qualifying Class 4 impact-resistant roofing systems. Since every policy is different, homeowners should always check with their insurance carrier to determine eligibility.
Local Roofing Matters
Top View Roofing is a locally owned Oklahoma roofing company.
We understand local building codes, weather patterns, permitting requirements, and the unique challenges Oklahoma homeowners face every year.
