Why It Matters
The best way to protect a mission-critical building like a fire station is with a roofing system that can handle South Texas heat, hail, and heavy storms. Malarkey Vista™ shingles come with Scotchgard™ protection to prevent algae growth and streaking — essential for preserving appearance and performance. We also used Arctic Seal® in key areas to block water intrusion around roof penetrations, skylights, and valleys.
According to the IBHS (Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety), polymer-modified shingles like Malarkey’s Flexor SBS provide superior resilience to wind-driven rain and extreme temps — which is key in Comal County’s weather zone.

This project for Canyon Lake Fire Station 51 called for a full tear-off and rebuild of the roofing system. We installed Malarkey Vista™ AR shingles in Weathered Wood, with Smart Start™ starter shingles and RidgeFlex™ caps for long-lasting wind and weather resistance. Under the hood, we laid down Arctic Seal® ice/water barrier and synthetic underlayment from TRI-BUILT™ for high-performance moisture defense.
The entire system is backed by a 50-year manufacturer warranty and our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
