My Advice? Give Up On The Lawsuit!

I do not know of one single person who has been paid under the terms of the Hardishake lawsuit settlement. That's right... I've never, ever, not one single time, have had the court pay out a single dime on a Hardishake roof claim where I was involved in the process. Sadly, I've heard many more stories from people I have eventually helped who have told me the same thing - they did not get a dime either. I'm sure there are people out there who collected money on the lawsuit. Surely, somebody was able to get some money - I just don't know any of them.  Here's the real problem:  There are many exclusions outlined in the lawsuit settlement that make it virtually impossible to get paid. Even if you could jump through every hoop, clear ever obstacle and squeeze some money out of the settlement, the terms of the lawsuit pay far below the fair market value for replacing your roof.

Insurance Is Not Responsible!

Your insurance company is not responsible for your faulty roof. A Hardishake, Maxishake, FireFree or Cemwood roof is more vulnerable in a damp, wet climate than in other parts of the country. Once the protective glossy layer is gone, water will seep down into the heart of your shingles - the damage has just begun. Each change in season reveals further roof damage - eventually leading to extensive interior water damage in your home. Unfortunately, most insurance companies will hold you responsible for those costly repairs due to your faulty roof. The insurance company will rightly claim that your policy does not cover manufacture defects. It will cost you thousands & thousands of dollars to replace your roof... not to mention what it will cost to repair the water damage to your home. Before you call your insurance company, pick up the phone and call me. One phone call may save you thousands of dollars. Dial (817) 781-9982 or use the online ...

Capillary Suction – The Catch 22

One of the tell-tale signs of premature shingle failure is "capillary suction". Moisture can get into and behind the shingles because they sit tightly on top of one other. Water will literally appear to defy gravity as it is drawn backwards (wicking) into the overlapping above fiber cement shingle. The way to defeat capillary suction is to perfectly seal each and every shingle. Obviously, this would be impossible to do. That's why we are having problems today. Another method is to ventilate the space between each shingle by creating a gap. Unfortunately, shingles work best at shedding rain water when you eliminate or shrink the gaps. It seems to be a proverbial Catch 22! If your shingles are breaking and falling apart, pick up the phone and call me right now (817) 781-9982 or use the handy online contact me form. Michael D.
