A family wants answers after the roof of their home is literally falling apart in Shakopee. The Melek family built their home eight years ago, but their roof that was supposed to last 25 years is already crumbling. “Worried, anger…I just don’t know how we are going to fix this,” said Annie Melek. The manufacturer, Certainteed, offered to pay the family $500, but it will cost them $7,500 to replace the roof. It turns out the company is the subject of a class-action lawsuit regarding defective shingles. 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS found out that thousands of homeowners across the country are finding the same problem. 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS contact the company for statement, but weren’t able to be reached. |
