House Siding Lawsuit Background Information

During the real estate boom of the last twenty years many manufacturers of hardboard siding, masonite siding, OSB siding, OSB plywood sheathing, synthetic stucco (EIFS), windows, and roofing materials experimented with new and synthetic materials, most notably composite or fake-wood exterior siding.

These composite wood products, made of wood fibers (waste) and glue, tend to rot prematurely, swell, grow mildew and fungus, and buckle or warp. Many of these products had warranties of 20 years or more, but signs of deterioration often appeared within a few years after installation.

There are over 100 different shapes, styles and textures of hardboard and OSB siding, manufactured by 11 different companies. Many of these manufacturers have settled house siding lawsuits since 1995.

Many homeowners are unaware of the details of these class action settlements. Plus, the documentation and claims process is complex and time consuming. These cases require specific knowledge of the claims process and the legal details of court protocol. Many claims programs require multiple, subsequent filings to ensure the maximum recovery on each qualifying property.
