Robin Meadows HOA 2025 Roofing Project

Dear Homeowners,

The board of directors of Robin Meadows Homeowner’s Association has approved replacing all of the roofs in the community. At this time, there is no additional cost as we anticipate the project being paid for by the Association’s reserve funds. Cooper Mountain Roofing was selected as the contractor for this project. More information about Cooper Mountain Roofing and the steps taken to select the roofing contractor can be found in Februrary and March’s meeting minutes.

Cooper Mountain Roofing will be installing Malarkey Highlander AR shingles that match the current color. All flashing will be replaced. Metal valley flashing will be installed. All vents will be replaced with metal vents. Additional vents will be installed to facilitate proper ventilation. All rotted plywood will be replaced. 

Cooper Mountain provides a 10-year workmanship warranty. In addition, Malakary Highlander shingles come with a limited lifetime warranty, a 10-year algae resistance warranty, and 15-year, 110 MPH wind warranty. Cooper Mountain will take care of registering for the material warranty.

After the roofing project is complete, it is advisable to contact your home insurance company as your insurance rate may be reduced.

This letter is to confirm the roofing replacement project at Robin Meadows and notify all residents of the pending project. This project has been scheduled to start May 13, 2025, weather permitting and last 8-14 weeks.

Construction hours will be from 7:30 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday; 8:30 am to 6 pm on Saturdays. The hours may change depending on the weather and the status of the roof they are working on. The project will begin with the 3211/3212/3213 triplex before a second crew joins the work and begins on the 3169/3171/3173 triplex. There may be up to three crews working on the complex at the same time.

With the upcoming roof project, the Board of Directors is informing all the homeowners of the important facts of the project. Please take the time to read through everything carefully to understand the schedules, parking requirements, and safety practices. If applicable, please relay this information to your tenants.

Roofing project FAQ

Updated 4/22/2025


Why are we replacing the roofs?
The roofs are 23 years old, and all indications from third-party assessors indicate that they are past their useful lives. In addition, several units have repeated leaks that need to be fixed. Doing a full roof replacement on the entire property keeps each roof on the same maintenance schedule.

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?
Some of the reasons the board chose 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 were 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 Apr. 28.

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 can last anywhere from 8 to 14 weeks.

What kind of workmanship warranty does Cooper Mountain Roofing provide?
A 10-year workmanship warranty.

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.

Do I have to be out of my house when my roof is being replaced?
No.

Does the roofing project cost me extra money?
No. At this time we anticipate the reserves to cover overages, but we will not know the full scope of the work until the shingles are removed from the houses. 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 signficantly better than a $31,200, 20-year loan at 7 percent interest (PONO/Superior’s cheapest bid; see meeting minutes from April 2025.) 

Will my home insurance go down since my roof is being replaced?
Possibly. We highly recommend calling your insurance agent and asking after the roofing project is complete.

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.

Will the project be noisy?
Yes, it is unavoidable.

How will I know how the project is going?
The board post a weekly update to the website.
