Owens Corning has paid to replace many roofs south of 466 due to defective shingles from the manufacturer.

Houses do need reroofed every so often. Is this a defect in the home building that someone has told you about?

The information from the contractor could be valid or it could be misinformation.

I read this forum religiously and I don't recall this as a common problem.

Our friends had a Bougainvillea that had a leak and this happened when it was new. Warranty fixed it and they have had no trouble since. That was in 2004.

Press search above and type in shingles, roofs, roof replaced and read the old issues of the POA newsletter about the Owens Corning issue.

Contractors can sometimes give you some very interesting information. Some valid, some not so much.

When I read all six of your posts I had forgotten there was a poll.
