Maibec Class Action Claims Wood Shingles are Defective

A Maibec class action claims that the company sold defective wood shingles which warp, peel, crack and curl, despite extensive warranties, alerts Class Action.org. The Maibec class action alleges that the company nevertheless continues to sell these certain wood shingles, made from Eastern White Cedar tree, despite the fact that they have failed and resulted in property damage.

The Maibec class action lawsuit was filed by a man who owned a home improvement company which enlisted a subcontractor to install Maibec siding on a New Jersey home. Approximately four years after installation, the shingles began curling and lifting away from the house, the Maibec lawsuit claims. When the plaintiff contacted the Quebec-based wood siding maker regarding his Maibec shingles issues, the company allegedly refused to stand by its warranty, forcing him to enter a settlement with the homeowners. 

According to the Maibec lawsuit, consumers who own property installed with the Maibec shingles could suffer a number of damages including repair and replacement costs, damage to underlying structures, and depreciation in property value. In light of these allegations, Class Action.org would like to hear from anyone who had these eastern white cedar tree shingles installed on their property to determine if they can seek compensation for these losses through a Maibec class action.
