Several of the Hardishake roofs installed in 1992, 1995 and 1996 started showing problems within a few, short years later.

My customers in Colleyville, Southlake and Grapevine Texas first started reporting chips of shingles falling off their roof after heavy rains and high winds. I’ve recently inspected homes in Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington where the shingles are cracked or broken in two.

I receive calls from all over the nation requesting information about Hardishake roofs. Homeowners, inspectors and insurance adjusters call me regularly when they run into problems. These are the same complaints I hear from Atlanta to as far away as Hawaii.

The biggest complaint I hear is that it is impossible to hang Christmas lights or decorations on the house without cracking, breaking or damaging the shingles further.

WARNING: DO NOT WALK ON YOUR HARDISHAKE ROOF IF IT HAS STARTED TO CRACK OR BREAK.

You may have also noticed that your shingles have changed color – they look dirty or possibly have started to grow algae. By the way, the original 50 year warranty guaranteed against algae growth.

Perhaps the biggest complaint is that it is impossible to repair the damaged shingles without further damaging your roof. Finding replacement shingles can be challenging but not terribly difficult – the real problem is the replacement process.

You have to lift and/or put pressure on the shingles above and beside the targeted shingle. That is often impossible to do without creating further damage.

You can literally fix one shingle and break 3-4 more!

Do not try to fix your broken shingles. Who will take responsibility for the further damage caused by the repair? It doesn’t make sense to replace a broken shingle with a “defective” shingle. Does it?
