Integrating Chimney, Skylights, and Ventilation into One Cohesive Malarkey Vista Roof

3331 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6R 1H9

In this case study, James upgrades to a fully integrated Malarkey Vista roofing system for lasting protection and a refined appearance.

Project Context

James wanted a full roofing upgrade that would bring alignment, reliability, and a refined look to his home. The scope included removal and responsible disposal of the existing asphalt roof, a full roof deck inspection, and installation of a complete Malarkey Vista roofing system with synthetic underlayment, starter shingles, Vista AR shingles, and RidgeFlex hip and ridge shingles.

The Challenge

The roof contained several critical transition points—around the chimney, skylights, and vent penetrations—where leaks are most likely to occur. The challenge was to create a uniform, watertight surface that properly integrated these components while maintaining correct ventilation and drainage across the entire roof.

Why The Client Chose Us?

James chose Vantage Roofing Ltd. for proven experience with complex roof layouts and integrated systems. He valued the focus on detail at every connection point and appreciated the clear, straightforward communication throughout the estimating and planning process.

How We Responded?

The team began by removing existing materials and confirming the condition of the roof deck. A high-performance synthetic underlayment and Malarkey system components were installed systematically, with special care taken to re-flash the chimney and skylights and reinforce all penetrations with peel-and-stick underlayment. New attic vents, stem vents, lead plumbing flashings, goose neck vents, and gable-end diverters were installed to support proper airflow and long-term performance.

The Results?

James’ Vancouver home now features a clean, uniform roof surface built as a fully integrated system, not a patchwork of parts. Upgraded materials, precise detailing, and sealed transitions provide dependable protection in all conditions, backed by a 10-year Vantage Roofing Ltd. workmanship warranty.
