BP Organic Shingles Warranty
BP of Canada marketed its organic shingles as durable and long-lasting. Additionally, the company represented that these products provide proven and long-term performance and offered warranties up to 35 years, depending on the model type. Despite these claims, homeowners have alleged that the products are prone to BP organic shingle failure as early as two years after installation. It is believed that the BP organic shingle failure results from the following:
- Deterioration
- Moisture invasion (snow, rain, etc.)
- Blistering
- Curling
- Cracking
In some instances of BP organic shingle failure, homeowners have claimed that the product was blown off the roof.
Class Action: BP Organic Shingle Failure
It has been alleged that homeowners who experienced BP organic shingle failure not only had to spend money to fix or replace their roofs, but also to treat resultant, progressive property damage. When the shingles fail prematurely, underlying structures can be damaged, according to allegations. Underlying felt, plaster, sheetrock, structural roof components, walls and ceiling structural components are among the structures which could suffer damage due to the BP organic shingle failure.
Because Building Products of Canada Corp. released an allegedly defective product into the marketplace, those who suffered damages as a result may be entitled to seek financial compensation. If your property is installed with BP organic shingles, you may be able to participate in a potential BP shingle class action lawsuit to seek compensation for repair costs, replacement expenses and other losses incurred as a result of the allegedly product defect.
