Homeowners,

For months now your HOA Board has been working on the roofing claim with our insurance provider while many of you have had tarps on roof and skylights from storm damage.

In order to resolve the claim favorably with our insurance provider the Board has explored options including litigation. This would prove to be a two-year project or more. The decision process involved reviewing hundreds of pages of detailed reports, weighing the options of engaging a public adjuster, insurance claims specialist,  and litigation attorneys, and also evaluating vendor contracts.

This has been a lengthy and challenging process and we are pleased to report that we are now able to move forward with roof replacement. The Board has selected Classic Construction for the contract and roofing will begin this week. 

We understand the disruption will be difficult while we are all sheltering in place, and our apologies in advance to those working from home. However, starting the project now is necessary to meet deadlines from our insurance carrier, and in order to successfully complete the project we need to follow an aggressive timeline.

Roof Replacement Schedule
Begin: Thursday, April 23, 2020
End: Week of June 8
Time: 7 am to 7 pm Monday – Saturday
Note: Exact building schedule will be provided and all construction work is dependent on weather.

Important details:

• You are required to move all items from patio and front yard or door area per the notice Classic will distribute early this week.
• Since this project is on a tight schedule, any interference with work will incur a $500/day fine to the homeowner.
• Roofing will be much louder than the siding project, but each building will be completed faster.
• There will be more construction workers on site and more movement around the property than we had during the siding project.
• Roofers should not need access inside your house and will observe all local government guidelines for distancing and protective gear but they will need access to your patios and back yard. Please practice the same guidelines and limit your interaction with construction crew.
• Skylights that have already been reported as damaged will be replaced.

A few questions you may have:

Why Classic?
Classic was chosen for this project for some of the following reasons:
1. Having one company responsible for all warranty claims from ground to roof will be a significant benefit in the future.
2. Working with Classic over the past 2 years we have gotten to know their strengths and weaknesses and this will now help us work with them more effectively.
3. Classic has gotten to know us and will be able to navigate through this project better than a company not familiar with our property. 
4. Classic has committed that homeowner communication is a priority with this project.
5. Classic’s specialty has come from over 30 years of roof construction and they are very experienced in projects like ours

When will my house be done?
As with the siding project, Classic will work on an entire building at one time, not just your home. Plan on 2-3 days of construction on your building (as weather permits). A detailed schedule for the neighborhood will be provided and you will receive a notice on your door a few days before construction begins at your home. Prepare now as the entire project needs to be completed by the first week of June (as weather permits).

How do I prepare?
Classic will send emails and leave flyers on each homeowners door with detailed instructions . It is critical that you follow these directions exactly. This means moving ALL furniture, decor and plants in your outside areas to protect them from construction crews and debris. Classic and the HOA are not responsible for damages to your personal items.

What about my satellite dish?
If there is a satellite dish on your roof it will be removed and reinstalled by the roofers but they will not recalibrate your signal. Your satellite provider will need to recalibrate the dish.

What happened to the possible lawsuit with the insurance company over our claim?
The Board felt that it was in the best interest of the homeowners not to wait with an undetermined timeline on a lawsuit and with no guarantee of a favorable outcome and move forward with getting the roofs replaced as soon as possible. The public adjuster did provide a recommendation that we sue over the claim, however if we filed the lawsuit it could take up to 2 years or longer to settle and this could also be impacted by the current economic situation from COVID-19.

Who do I contact with questions?
Email Classic at [email protected] or contact the Board through the HOA website under the Renovation page.

Landlords
If you have tenants occupying your home, please forward this information to them so their are no delays and so that your property is prepared for the project. 

We appreciate the patience of each and every homeowner as we have navigated this very long and involved process which will enhance the value of our homes. Please stay safe and well in these challenging times. As a community we need the support of each other now more than ever before.

Thank you,

Copperfield Townhomes HOA Board of Directors
