We built our house in 2003 and used IKO Armor Plus 20 roofing shingles. After only 12 years, the roof is failing.
The shingles are heavily warn.
Tiles are lifting and curling.
I asked a builder to look at the roof and he said the shingles are brittle and can not be replaced.
He said that if I try to put a new roof over the top, the new roof will fail as the old roof crumbles.
It could cost $20,000 to tare off and replace the roof!
There is a class action lawsuit against IKO, but that won't be settled for a long time. The builder I talked to, who has had experience with this IKO problem says the company won't return his calls.
I added myself to a list so I can get updates on the lawsuit. I notified IKO of my concerns. We are going to contact our Home Owner's insurance on Tuesday to discuss our options.
Tune back in and follow our progress with getting the roof replaced.
