CertainTeed Organic Shingles Class Action Settlement
See Details
Proof Required?
If your home or property has CertainTeed organic asphalt shingles installed between July 1987 and 2005, you may be entitled to compensation for roof removal and replacement costs through a class action settlement. CertainTeed, one of the largest roofing manufacturers in North America, faced allegations that certain organic asphalt shingles were defective and failed prematurely — leaving property owners with costly repair bills they shouldn't have had to pay.
This settlement covers both U.S. and Canadian property owners, making it one of the broader roofing product settlements in recent memory. If your roof used CertainTeed organic shingles during that manufacturing window and you've experienced issues, this could mean meaningful compensation toward getting your roof fixed or replaced.
The claims process involves submitting a warranty claim for the cost of removing and replacing your affected shingles. While full payout details are still being confirmed, property owners are encouraged to look into their eligibility sooner rather than later so they're ready to file when all details are finalized.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You are a current or former property owner in the United States or Canada
- Your property has or had CertainTeed organic asphalt shingles installed on it
- The shingles were manufactured between July 1987 and 2005
- Your shingles experienced premature failure, defects, or deterioration
- You have incurred or expect to incur costs for roof removal and/or replacement related to the defective shingles
How Much Can You Get?
Compensation through this settlement is tied to warranty claims for the cost of removing and replacing defective CertainTeed organic asphalt shingles. The exact dollar amounts per claim have not been publicly confirmed at this time, so the payout will likely vary based on factors like the size of your roof, the extent of the damage, and the cost of replacement in your area.
Property owners who qualify can submit documentation supporting their removal and replacement expenses. If you've already had your roof repaired or replaced due to shingle failure, keep any receipts, contractor invoices, or inspection reports — these will likely be important when calculating what you're owed.

How do I know if I have CertainTeed organic asphalt shingles?
Check any paperwork from when your roof was installed, such as contractor invoices or product warranties. You can also look at the shingles themselves — CertainTeed organic shingles were a common roofing product sold under names like 'GlassKote' or similar. A local roofing contractor can also inspect your roof and identify the shingle type if you're unsure.
Do I need proof of purchase to file a CertainTeed shingles claim?
Proof requirements haven't been fully detailed publicly, but it's a good idea to gather any documentation you have — original purchase receipts, contractor invoices, home inspection reports, or photos of shingle damage. Since this is a warranty-based claim, some form of documentation showing the shingles are on your property and are defective will likely be needed.
Can I still file if I already replaced my CertainTeed roof?
Potentially yes. If you already had your roof removed and replaced due to problems with your CertainTeed organic shingles, you may still be eligible to submit a claim for those past expenses. Hold onto any invoices or receipts from that work, as they could help support your claim for reimbursement.
