Malarkey Dura-Seal 20/25 Review
3 Tab shingle clinging onto life: This line on roofing from Malarkey is the entry level point in terms of price and rarely put on new construction anymore due to the popularity of dimensional shingles. You do however get some brand name recognition in 3M with this product as they use 3M Colorfast granules for a superior color look and longevity. As you would expect the warranty on these products is nothing to write home about with the 20 and 25 year numbers really for show. The Real Start warranty which is really the only warranty worth it on Malarkey products is only 3 years for these particular shingles. If you are trying to match some existing three tab shingles on just need something cheap for the shed this may be the roofing shingle for you.

These are pretty darn good shingles and a good value, I habve have only heard good things about Malarkey too, I know they aren’t one of the big boys yet like GAF but around here there have been plenty of folks who seem to like them. More roofing companies are starting to use them as well.
Well I was afraid of this, these shingles wear a little to fast and fade in color even faster. While my contractor did a good job installing them and we haven’t had a link, my black roof is more like grey now 4 years later and we have quite a bit of shingle grit in the gutters. The old saying “you get what you pay for” comes to mind.
