About CertainTeed Class Actions in New Jersey

New Jersey residents affected by defective CertainTeed roofing products benefit from the state's Consumer Fraud Act, which provides stronger protections than many other states and allows for treble damages in cases of willful fraud. CertainTeed operates a significant distribution network throughout New Jersey, serving contractors and suppliers from Trenton to Newark, making defective shingle issues particularly widespread in the state. The company's Horizon shingles were commonly installed on residential properties across New Jersey's suburban developments built in the 2000s and 2010s. New Jersey residents filing class action claims must be aware that the state follows a six-year statute of limitations for breach of warranty claims, longer than many neighboring states. Additionally, New Jersey's court system requires specific venue requirements for construction defect cases, typically filed in the county where the property is located. The state's high concentration of older homes and active real estate market means many residents may be eligible for the CertainTeed Horizon shingles settlement without realizing their roof damage qualifies.

What CertainTeed settlements are currently available to New Jersey homeowners?

The primary settlement available is the CertainTeed Horizon shingles class action settlement, which covers defective shingles that experienced premature cracking, granule loss, and weathering. New Jersey residents who had these shingles installed between specific years may be eligible for compensation covering replacement costs and related damages.

How does New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act affect CertainTeed claims?

New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act provides enhanced protection for residents, allowing for treble damages when companies knowingly sell defective products. This means New Jersey residents may recover up to three times their actual damages if CertainTeed is found to have willfully concealed known defects in their roofing products.

Are there specific deadlines for New Jersey residents to file CertainTeed claims?

New Jersey's six-year statute of limitations for breach of warranty claims is longer than many states, but specific settlement deadlines vary by case. For the Horizon shingles settlement, New Jersey residents must file by the court-ordered deadline, typically within 60-90 days of settlement approval notification.

Tips for New Jersey Residents Filing CertainTeed Claims

New Jersey residents should document all roof damage with photographs and maintain records of original installation dates and contractor information. File claims promptly, as settlement funds are often distributed on a first-come basis until depleted. Contact the settlement administrator directly rather than relying on contractor recommendations, as some may have conflicts of interest. Keep all receipts for temporary repairs or inspections, as these costs may be reimbursable. Consider consulting with a New Jersey attorney familiar with construction defect law if your damages exceed typical settlement amounts, especially given the state's Consumer Fraud Act protections that may provide additional recovery options beyond class action settlements.
