A-1 Master Roofing Hawaii vs Soprema, Inc.
If you live in Hilo, Hawaii and your roof is leaking or showing signs of aging, it may be time to consider replacement. A professional roofing contractor can install a durable roof that will withstand the elements. It is important to choose a roofing company that has experience working on the unique climate in Hilo, Hawaii.
Residential Roofing Solutions which supplies roofing materials, brings this action against Defendants Beachside Roofing, L.L.C.; Bodell Construction Company; and A-1 Master Roofing, Inc. (collectively, “A-1”). According to the First Amended Complaint, both A-1 and Beachside are authorized Soprema roofing contractors per written agreements. A-1 began installing Soprema roofing products on a project in Queens’ MarketPlace in December 2006. During the installation process, several of the roofs developed leaks and a project architect inspected the buildings. The inspections revealed that a substantial amount of the roofing needed to be replaced.

Despite the fact that A-1 did not replace the entire roof, Queens’ Market retained two million dollars owed to A-1 and refused to release the money until Soprema issued a warranty for the work. Soprema alleges that Defendants breached the terms of their Authorized Roofing Agreements by failing to follow the repair protocol agreed upon in the Hawaii mediation.
Defendants argue that the Court does not have personal jurisdiction over the claims because they are based in a foreign country and that the forum selection clause in the agreements is valid. However, the Court finds that Defendants have not made a sufficient showing of facts to demonstrate that the forum selection clause in the agreements is invalid. Moreover, the affidavits filed by Defendants evidence continuing contacts with Soprema and that Bodell intends to continue to purchase Soprema products once Queens’ Market obtains a warranty from Soprema.
