Construction Defect Center launches a National Initiative Focused On Identifying Homeowners Who Have A Roof With The Atlas Chalet Shingle And No Way To Fix The Roof
(PRWEB) July 15, 2013 -- The Construction Defect Center says, "According to court records, it is alleged problems became apparent with the Atlas Chalet shingle. In fact it is alleged these roofing shingles began to blister within the first year of installation and show significant loss of granulation and premature cracking. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to have a roof replaced with a newer version of the Atlas Chalet shingle, because Atlas no longer makes this specific type of shingle." Based on court records Atlas Chalet roofing shingles were installed on homes in Ohio, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Missouri, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and other states. The Construction Defect Center is urging homeowners whose roof has Atlas Chalet shingles to contact them immediately at 866-714-6466, especially if they have unsuccessfully attempted to get the manufacturer to stand behind this specific type of roof shingle, or they have had any type of issue with this specific type of roof shingle.
What is a Atlas Chalet Shingle? According to court records, the Atlas Chalet was a shingle that was manufactured to provide a dimensional appearance in a granule overlay shingle. It is not an “architectural shingle” but rather achieved this look by utilizing random color palettes in a double thickness and creating a shadow line. The result is a 3 tab shingle that provides the eye-appeal of an architectural shingle. The Atlas Chalet shingle was supposedly created to provide an affordable shingle that has the eye appeal of the more expensive architectural shingle. The Construction Defect Center says,"If you are a homeowner with a roofing product called the Atlas Chalet shingle please call us immediately at 866-714-6466, because according to court records this product is no longer being manufactured by the company that created this specific type of roofing shingle, and it has been alleged in federal court there could be issues with the Atlas Chalet shingle." http://ConstructionDefectCenter.Com
