We are now in the process of contacting the POA and starting a class action suit against OC. If OC has refused to pay labor costs for your defective roof please send me a PM.

I am in the same boat. OC claims that the labor portion of the Warranty expired. My two neighbors on either side of me had their roofs replaced but I was only offered new shingles...no labor. This was after they stalled me for 9 months while the labor portion was still in effect, claiming they did not receive the samples from Sack Roofing and later saying that now they did not need the samples because they are admitting certain shingles were defective. I received a written estimate for labor for $4,750.00 from Sack Roofing. I was planning to take them to Small Claims Court for the $4,750.00 since they were aware of these defective shingles and failed to notify me. A Class Action seems like a good idea and will be successful. OC should have recalled these defective shingles when they found out that they were defective and replaced them. I am still pondering Small Claims Court since it may be a quicker way to proceed. This is akin to an auto company who had a defective engine sending the engine to your home telling you to install it.
