Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Built with multiple layers, architectural shingles are thicker, more dimensional, and made to last. Homeowners choose them because they strike the right balance—durable enough to stand up to Colorado’s unpredictable weather, and stylish enough to boost curb appeal.
Compared to basic 3-tab shingles, architectural options offer better protection against wind, rain, and hail. They also come in a range of colors and textures that mimic the look of wood shake or slate—so whether your home is modern, rustic, or something in between, there’s a fit.
At Sorensen Roofing & Restoration, we install architectural shingles from brands we know and trust—because cutting corners just isn’t in our DNA.

Why SBS Matters
SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) shingles are rubberized, making them more flexible, hail-resistant, and less prone to cracking—especially in colder climates. All of the above products meet UL 2218 Class 4 standards, the highest impact rating available.
Malarkey’s Unique Advantage
Malarkey shingles include smog-reducing granules that help clean the air by converting pollutants (like nitrogen oxides) into plant-friendly nitrates. A typical Malarkey roof can offset the emissions of 2–3 trees.
