The Challenge: One Storm, 14 Buildings, 80 Owners

A community-wide hail claim is a different animal from a single roof. The storm hit every building, so the damage had to be proven the way an adjuster does it, across the whole property, and the reroof had to be scheduled around 80 households who all park, come and go, and live directly under the work. Getting the claim approved for the full, correct scope, and then executing it without turning the community into a construction zone, was the real job.

CRC documented the damage building by building, chalking out ten-by-ten-foot test squares and circling each hail impact to show the density of hits was widespread, not cosmetic. Up close, the hail had knocked granules off the shingles and bruised the mat beneath, and it had dented the soft metal too, the gutters, drip edge, and vents that an adjuster reads as hard evidence of a storm. With the damage proven across the community, CRC presented the full claim to the HOA's carrier.

The Solution: A Rubberized Roof Built for Hail Country

Once the claim was approved, CRC tore each building down to the deck, dried it in with a new RhinoRoof synthetic underlayment, and installed Malarkey Vista AR architectural shingles, built on Malarkey's rubberized NEX asphalt, on all 14 buildings. On a community roof with this many hips, valleys, dormers, and penetrations, the details carry the job: every valley, vent, and flashing was reset and sealed as the new shingles went down.

The reroof also covered every skylight in the community. Rather than shingle around aging, leak-prone units, CRC replaced and re-flashed 95 skylights with new curb-mount flashing kits as the new roofs went on, so the most common future leak point was solved on the same claim instead of becoming next year's callback.

Coordinating the Work Around 80 Owners

The part that makes or breaks a community reroof is logistics. CRC worked building by building on a published schedule, tarped and cordoned each active building to keep debris off cars, patios, and landscaping, and kept driveways and access open so residents could live their normal lives while the roofs came off overhead. Caution tape, ground tarps, and daily magnet sweeps kept the community safe and clean from the first tear-off to the last cleanup.

Why Malarkey Vista AR for a Colorado Hail Claim

Malarkey Vista AR shingles are built on NEX Polymer Modified Asphalt, a rubberized formula that blends SBS rubber polymers and recycled tire rubber into the shingle's asphalt core. That integrated rubber lets the shingle flex and absorb a hailstone's impact instead of cracking the way brittle standard asphalt does, and it holds granules far better, roughly 65 percent better granule adhesion and 30 percent greater tear strength than the industry-standard spec. For a community of this size in Colorado's hail country, that built-in resilience is exactly what the roofs needed.

It is also one of the more sustainable shingles made. Every roof upcycles roughly five tires and 3,200 plastic bags out of the landfill, and the 3M Smog-Reducing Granules use sunlight to pull smog pollutants out of the air, about two trees' worth of clean-air capacity per roof. For an HOA replacing acres of roof at once, that footprint adds up.

The Result

The community came out of the storm with 14 buildings of new Malarkey Vista AR roofs, 95 new skylights, and fresh edge metal and flashings, all handled on one approved insurance claim. Because CRC proved the damage, managed the claim, coordinated 80 owners, and self-performed the work, the HOA board dealt with one accountable contractor from the first test square to the final magnet sweep.
