The Secure Choice™ Roofing System: A Smarter Roofing Solution for Northeast Wisconsin Homes

When it comes to protecting your home in Northeast Wisconsin, your roof plays one of the most important roles. From heavy snow and ice in winter to strong storms in summer, Wisconsin roofs must handle a wide range of weather conditions. That’s why many homeowners are choosing the Malarkey Secure Choice™ Roofing System, a modern roofing solution designed for superior protection, durability, and sustainability.

At our company, we proudly install the Secure Choice™ Roofing System because it provides homeowners with a complete roofing system—not just shingles. Every layer of the system works together to strengthen your roof and protect your home for years to come.

What Makes the Secure Choice™ Roofing System Different?

Many traditional roof installations focus only on the shingles themselves. However, a roof is actually made up of several components that must work together to perform properly.

The Secure Choice™ Roofing System combines advanced roofing materials with environmentally responsible technology, including:

Rubberized asphalt shingles for increased durability
Upcycled rubber and plastic materials that help reduce landfill waste
Smog-reducing granules designed to help clean the air
A complete system of roofing components that improve overall performance

This combination creates a roof that not only protects your home but also supports sustainability.

The Four Key Components of the Secure Choice™ Roofing System

A strong roofing system relies on several layers that each serve a specific purpose.

Ice & Water Barrier

Wisconsin winters can cause significant roof stress due to snow buildup and ice dams. An ice and water barrier provides a waterproof membrane beneath shingles in vulnerable areas of the roof.

This layer helps prevent water from penetrating the roof deck if ice dams form.

Starter Shingles

Starter shingles are installed along the edges of the roof, including the eaves and rakes. They create a secure base for the rest of the shingles and help improve wind resistance.

Field Shingles

Field shingles cover the main surface area of your roof and provide the majority of your home’s weather protection. High-quality field shingles are engineered for durability and impact resistance.

Hip & Ridge Shingles

Hip and ridge shingles are specially designed to protect the peaks and ridges of the roof, which are often the most exposed to wind and weather.

Why Northeast Wisconsin Homeowners Choose Complete Roofing Systems

Installing a complete roofing system instead of just replacing shingles can help:

Improve roof durability
Prevent leaks and water damage
Increase wind resistance
Extend the life of your roof
Protect your home investment

When each component works together, your roof performs better and lasts longer.
