About CertainTeed Class Actions in Massachusetts

Massachusetts residents affected by CertainTeed defective roofing products have specific protections under Chapter 93A, the state's Consumer Protection Act, which allows for double or triple damages in cases of unfair or deceptive business practices. CertainTeed maintains significant operations throughout Massachusetts, with numerous authorized dealers and contractors across the state, making defective shingle issues particularly widespread in the region. The company's Horizon shingles, subject to a major class action settlement, were commonly installed on Massachusetts homes between 1999 and 2009. Massachusetts residents filing claims must be aware that the state's six-year statute of limitations for breach of warranty claims may affect their ability to pursue individual lawsuits outside of class action settlements.

Residents should document all communications with contractors and preserve evidence of shingle deterioration, as Massachusetts courts require detailed proof of damages in consumer protection cases.

How does Massachusetts Chapter 93A affect my CertainTeed claim?

Chapter 93A provides additional consumer protections beyond federal class action settlements, potentially allowing for double or triple damages if CertainTeed's conduct is deemed unfair or deceptive. This state law may provide separate grounds for legal action even if you participate in the Horizon shingles settlement.

Can Massachusetts residents still file individual lawsuits against CertainTeed?

Massachusetts residents may pursue individual claims under Chapter 93A or breach of warranty laws, but must act within the state's six-year statute of limitations. However, participating in class action settlements like the Horizon shingles case typically requires waiving rights to individual litigation.

Are there Massachusetts-specific deadlines for CertainTeed claims?

While federal class action deadlines apply to settlements like the Horizon shingles case, Massachusetts state law claims must be filed within six years of discovering the defect. The Massachusetts Attorney General's office may also establish separate deadlines for state-specific consumer protection actions.

Tips for Massachusetts Residents Filing CertainTeed Claims

Massachusetts residents should document all roofing issues with photographs and contractor reports before filing CertainTeed claims.
