XTREME WEATHER PERFORMANCE (XWP) SYSTEM – A Next-Generation Roofing System Designed for Performance, Longevity, and All Weather Year-Round Protection.
Is Your Attic Secretly Damaging Your Roof? Find Out Now.
They’re rarely mentioned in proposals or addressed during installation — yet they cause most early roof failures.
That’s why we developed the XWP System: A complete, high-performance roofing solution that tackles what standard roofs overlook, protecting your home against hidden risks and costly repairs.
➡️ OBSOLETE SHINGLES TECHNOLOGY: Oxidized Asphalt: Once Standard, Now Obsolete — Outperformed by Modern Polymer-Modified Shingles in Flexibility and Longevity.
➡️ WEAK FLASHING: Builder-grade pipe boots and vents split / leak.
➡️ CLOGGED GUTTERS: Water backs up under shingles and rots the deck.
➡️ POOR OR MISSING ATTIC VENTILATION: 70% of homes don’t meet basic ventilation requirements, and 90% of homeowners breathe unhealthy air. Poor ventilated attics shortens the life of your roof from the inside out due to excessive heat and trapped moisture.
In Maryland and Virginia, your roof faces more than just the occasional storm. Intense rain, heavy snow, heatwaves, and rising humidity create constant pressure — not just on your shingles, but on every layer of your roofing system.
At Rebel Roofer, we go beyond surface-level solutions. We design complete, high-performance systems that manage water, control attic heat and moisture, and protect your home from the inside out.
Our XWP System™ features impact-rated SBS shingles, precision waterproofing, lifetime-rated flashing and pipe boots, and balanced attic ventilation — all working together to extend the life of your roof.
The result? Fewer repairs, lower long-term costs, and the confidence of knowing your roof is built to protect — season after season, year after year.
We’re not the kind of contractor who plans on coming back year after year — we believe in doing it right the first time, so you don’t have to think about your roof again.
XWP – A COMPLETE SYSTEM FOR LASTING ROOF PERFORMANCE
The Xtreme Weather Performance (XWP) System isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a fully engineered roofing solution designed to address the underlying causes of premature failure and deliver long-term peace of mind. Every component is selected and installed with purpose, creating a roof that performs well beyond surface-level protection.
1. Prevents leaks at critical points with advanced waterproofing.
2. Withstands hail storms, snow, and extreme temperatures.
3. Minimizes the risk of attic damage, mold, and structural decay
4. Delivers 2–3x the lifespan of standard roofing systems
NO LEAKS, NO CLOGS, NO EXCUSES – That’s not just a promise — it’s the standard we build to.
WHAT MAKES XWP REBEL ROOFER SYSTEM DIFFERENT
We’ve added critical upgrades to each component of the Secure Choice system for unmatched performance:
✅ 6-nail pattern with ring-shank nails – not staples or 4-nail shortcuts.
✅ Plastic cap fasteners on all underlayments – superior hold against uplift and moisture movement.
✅ Lifetime Tool pipe boots & Premium Vent & Dryer Vent Covers – no dry-rotting rubber, no recurring leaks.
✅ Plywood Instead of OSB – Plywood is stronger, more moisture-resistant, and holds fasteners better than OSB.
✅ Fully Integrated Intake and Exhaust Ventilation – Soffits, inline vents and ridges aligned for healthy attic air.
✅ Smart Quietcool Attic Fan (With APP Control) – Reduces heat, prevents condensation, and balances airflow.
✅ Raindrop® Gutter Guards + 6″ Seamless K-6 Gutters – Self cleaning, high flow system with a NO-Clog Guarantee.
Most leaks don’t start with your shingles — they start at the weakest points: low-grade pipe flashings that crack or rust, and gutters clogged with leaves and debris that force water back under the roofline. At Rebel Roofer, we don’t cut corners. We install Lifetime Tool® pipe flashings built to last the life of your roof and Raindrop® Gutter Guards that keep water flowing and maintenance minimal — all backed by our No Leak. No Clog. No Excuses. guarantee.
The Ultimate Pipe Flashing® is made from ultra-pure silicone. Like sand, it is composed of silica and is 100% stable in the sun. Most importantly, it features a proprietary design.
Designed for long-term performance, this vent combines a:
Engineered for all-season performance, the Raindrop® Gutter Guard keeps leaves, pine needles, and debris out while allowing high-volume water flow through its durable, self-cleaning design. Made from UV-stabilized polypropylene, it won’t warp, crack, or corrode — even under heavy snow or intense sun. Raindrop® delivers maintenance-free protection and a clean, streamlined look that lasts.

Poor attic ventilation doesn’t make noise — but it’s one of the most destructive forces on your roofing system.
Trapped heat and moisture silently warp decking, degrade shingles, and encourage mold growth — leading to premature roof failure.
At Rebel Roofer, we don’t just replace roofs. We build smarter systems from the inside out. Attic fans keep your attic safe, cool, and ventilated all year long. An attic fan can save you up to 30% on your A/C cooling costs by just cooling your attic space.
Because Passive Ventilation Alone Isn’t Always Enough
While ridge and soffit vents allow air to flow naturally, they often fall short during peak heat and humidity.
That’s why we recommend adding a smart attic fan to actively remove trapped heat and moisture — especially during Maryland’s hot, humid summers. A high-performance system like the QuietCool® Smart Attic Fan can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30–50°F and cut your A/C cooling costs by up to 30%, simply by cooling your attic space.
It’s not just comfort — it’s efficiency, protection, and savings built into your roofing system.
After working with many brands, we chose QuietCool® Smart Attic Fans for their unmatched performance in heat and moisture control.
Available in electric-powered, solar, and hybrid models, these fans come with app-based control to monitor and manage your attic conditions in real time — maximizing efficiency and extending your roof’s lifespan.

We build smarter systems from the inside out.

Moisture buildup doesn’t just damage your roof — it can affect your health.
Trapped humidity in poorly ventilated attics creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew, which can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues, especially in children and older adults.
It Starts With a Small Leak…
But it doesn’t stay small for long.
When water seeps through failed flashing, clogged gutters, or poor ventilation, your roof decking begins to absorb moisture. Over time, the plywood soaks up water like a sponge, spreading it to rafters, insulation, and other structural components.
Left unchecked, this silent damage compromises the safety, structure, and air quality of your home — and turns into a much more expensive problem to fix.
The XWP System is a refined roofing solution that combines advanced materials, smart ventilation, and precision installation to deliver lasting protection, increased home value, and complete peace of mind. Designed for discerning homeowners, it’s more than a roof — it’s a long-term investment in the performance, elegance, and resilience of your home.
With Rebel Roofer, you receive uncompromising quality and elevated service — roofing redefined for those who expect more.
The biggest threats to your roof aren’t always visible. Cracked flashings, worn sealants, and low-grade materials lead to slow, hidden leaks that cause costly damage over time.
The XWP System is designed to eliminate those weak points. We use SBS polymer-modified shingles for added flexibility and weather resistance, especially during freeze-thaw cycles and impact events.
Instead of flimsy builder-grade parts, we install Lifetime Tool® pipe flashings — made to resist UV damage, rust, and splitting for the life of the roof. Underneath, advanced synthetic underlayments and ice & water shields provide a second layer of defense in critical areas.
Together, these upgrades create a tightly sealed system that keeps water out — not just today, but for decades.
WE DON’T WANT TO COME BACK IN 3 YEARS. WE WANT YOUR ROOF TO LAST 30.
We want to prevent and avoid costly repairs
Clogged gutters are a leading cause of water intrusion. That’s why the XWP System includes Raindrop® Gutter Guards paired with seamless K-style gutters.
These self-cleaning, UV-resistant guards handle high-volume water flow while blocking leaves, pine needles, and debris. This prevents water from backing up under shingles or damaging fascia and siding.
With Raindrop®, your gutters stay clear — no more clogs, overflows, or risky cleanups. Just year-round protection at the roof’s most vulnerable edge.
When comparing standard oxidized asphalt shingles to SBS Malarkey shingles, the difference in lifespan and performance becomes evident.
In standard conditions, oxidized asphalt shingles typically last around 15-20 years. However, when subjected to extreme weather conditions like blizzards, strong winds, ice accumulation, prolonged winters, sandstorms, and scorching heatwaves, this lifespan can diminish significantly, sometimes by up to 10 years.
On the other hand, with the XWP Xtreme Weather Performance™ Roofing System featuring SBS Malarkey shingles, the durability of your roof is assessed based on its consistent exposure to the most severe elements it faces. There are no breaks or interruptions – our roofing system ensures unwavering performance, regardless of the prevailing weather conditions.
THERE IS A BETTER WAY – Our Secure Choice Roofing System exemplifies our commitment to excellence, supported by premium ice & water barriers, synthetic underlayments, starter shingles, field shingles, and hip and ridge shingles. Combined with Rebel Roofer’s meticulously selected fasteners, seals, accessories, and construction techniques, it guarantees resilience, water tightness, and a secure roof. There are no shortcuts; we consistently go above and beyond code and industry standards to ensure the utmost quality and durability.
