If you own a property with GAF Timberline roofing shingles made between 1998 and 2009, then you may be eligible to receive free replacement shingles or a cash payment from the settlement. Allegedly, the shingles were prone to premature cracking, splitting, or tearing caused as a result of defective materials. Although GAF Materials Corp. denies the allegations, the company has decided to settle outside of court..

The benefits you may be eligible to receive are based on: (1) the location of your property, (2) where your Shingles were made, (3) the date your Shingles were installed and the date on which you make a claim, (4) the type and extent of damage to your Shingles, and (5) the size of your roof.
