What is the name of the company the board hired?
After seven bids and countless hours of research and discussion, the board selected Cooper Mountain Roofing. See March meeting minutes for more information.
Why did the board choose Cooper Mountain Roofing?
- They have been in business for 28 years,
- They have an average star rating of 4.7 on Google/Yelp
- They use high-quality shingles (Malarkey)
- They are excellent communicators
- They gave one of the most thorough and competitive bids
- They are installing extra vents to extend the life of the shingles, reduce the chance of mold, and keep the homes cooler
- They are within our budget
When is the project scheduled to start?
The project is scheduled to start May 13, weather permitting. Materials will start arriving on the property Friday, May 16. Some material will be placed on the roofs while other material will be placed in a shipping container. The shipping container is being delivered Thursday, May 15 AM and will be placed near center island closet to HilHi.
What days and hours will Cooper Mountain Roofing be working on the property?
Monday - Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. If the weather is good and there is enough light, work may last until 8 PM.
How long will the project last?
Depending on the weather, the project will last 8 to 14 weeks.
What kind of workmanship warranty does Cooper Mountain Roofing provide?
A 10-year workmanship warranty. What this means is that if there any leaks or issues that were caused by the workmanship Cooper Mountain will fix the mistake free of charge for 10-years.
What shingles is Cooper Mountain installing?
Malarkey Highlander AR shingles. You can read more about them at https://roofinginsights.com/malarkey-highlander-shingles-review/.
What kind of warranty do the shingles come with?
A limited lifetime warranty.
Do I need to register for the Malarky warranty?
No, Cooper Mountain Roofing will take care of registering for the warranty.
What is the color of the shingles going to be?
Charcoal gray, similar to the color on the current roofs.
How long are the shingles supposed to last?
Asphalt shingles last between 20-30 years. We hope to get to the higher end of the range due to the workmanship of Cooper Mountain and the additional venting being installed. In addition, aggressive tree branch trimming and gutter repair will also aid in the extending the life of the shingles.
Does the roofing project cost me extra money?
No. At this time, we anticipate the reserves to cover the overages, but we will not know the full scope of the work until the shingles are removed from the homes. As discussed in April’s meeting, we may have to do a special assessment if costs run high. If that happens, we do not anticipate the special assessment being more than $2-3000 per home which is significantly better than a $31,200, 20-year loan at 7 percent interest (PONO/Superior’s cheapest bid; see meeting minutes from April 2025.) In addition, as we discussed in May's meeting, watering of the property may have to be reduced.
What kind of preparation do I need to do to prepare for my new roof?
Remove any patio furniture, plants, etc., from around your home. Remove any delicate/fragile items from the walls and shelves inside your home. Vibrations may run through the home as the old roof is removed and the new roof is put on. The HOA nor Cooper Mountain Roofing is responsible for items falling of the wall and/or shelves. Make sure to read the Robin Meadows Roofing Project letter.
Will the project be noisy?
Yes, it is unavoidable. Please care for pets and children appropriately.
How will I know how the project is going?
The board will post a weekly update to RobinMeadows.com. To track the budget and spending, see the Roofing Project Cost Tracker.
What if I have a satellite dish on my roof?
A board member has emailed all homes with a satellite dish on its roof. Please fill out the questionnaire as soon as possible. If you have a satellite dish on your roof it will be removed. If you do not want the satellite to be reinstalled, it is the responsibility of the homeowner to dispose of the satellite dish. Please contact your satellite provider, as they may recycle it for you. Alternatively, you may be able to drop it off at Far West Recycling.
If you want to keep your satellite dish, please submit an ARC application. Following approval, please contact your service provider to reinstall the dish.
What is sheathing replacement?
Warped, split, cracked, delaminated, rotted or structurally unsound sheathing that represents an unsuitable nailing surface is considered to be bad sheathing that will not hold roofing nails well, and could lead to shingles blowing off the house. Further, Cooper Mountain and the shingle manufacturer cannot provide a warranty for shingles installed on defective sheathing. Not all these defective plywood conditions are visible from inside the attic. Some of this damage is only visible on the top side of the plywood, which is only discovered when the existing roofing is torn off. Cooper Mountain will replace all structurally compromised or environmentally unsafe (mold) sheathing.
Will the gate to HilHi be locked?
Yes, beginning Monday, 5/19/25, the gate to HilHi will be locked in order to protect the safety of the students. Once school is let out (June 12), the gate will be unlocked.
What if I have more questions?
Contact the Robin Meadows board.
