My roof was damaged by the storm last week and I saw the pending suit vs. Certainteed shingle company in our HOA bill.

Can someone let me know when the next Association meting is and how I can get involved? I have a roofer who is currently helping me with our situation and would be a great fit for others. He also wants to offer BBF some kind of collective discount or upgrades in materials.

Thank you.

CertainTeed Lawsuit Settlements

Anyone think of any idea pursuing CertainTeed for their fraud and defective products.

I read some online articles stating CertainTeed is either playing hard ball not honoring their warranty, or they just pro-rate and pay material cost only.

I am thinking to get Ohio General Attorney attention to see how far we can go.

shingles

Most of the houses here probably have the same shingles. I have had shingles blown off 3 times. I just went to a house where they were doing roofing and found a guy to come and replace them for me.

I do think it would be in the best interest of the subdivision to look to file a '' class action'' claim. The more the better so to say.

Not sure this is an issue for the HOA but if they can get involved the better. I would say maybe the Property Management Company may have some suggestions on how to proceed. I don't have problems now, but if the shingles are a problem elsewhere and have been on my house it is worth checking into.

Shingles

We had shingles blow off a number of years ago. We were told our shingles were fine. It was an issue of the workers not laying the shingles properly or fixing them with the proper length of nails and the correct number of nails. A class action in this case is going to be an issue.

Shingles blowing off a roof is not a class action. The shingles deteriorating before their time is a warranty issue. Also, the builders did not put the proper venting in some of the roofs which creates the shingles to curl faster. This also is not going to be warrantied by the manufacturer.
