Reply #5: Absoultely...so much damage to homeowners! [View All]

[CoffeeCat]

I live in the suburbs, and you wouldn't believe what is happening to many of the homes in my area.
.
These are very-widespread problems, affecting so many homeowners!

First off, masonite siding was cheap and many builders used it. Our home is only ten years old and we have
$5,000 worth of damage. We have friends who live in a neighborhood across town. Most of those homes are 5BR
and more than 4,000 square feet, and less than 10 years old. The siding is crumbling. Most have around $15,000
worth of damage.

You can sue the maker of the masonite siding, but the company has gone bankrupt and there's not a lot of money
to be had. You can join a class-action, but the lawyers take half, at least. This is a HUGE problem.

Also, Pella windows. They were improperly designed and cause water to leak inside homes. Our Pella wood windows
aren't even 10 years old and they are rotting. Water comes in and has ruined curtains. In the winter, there is
frost on the inside of the windows! Pella has admitted they manufactured a faulty product. We had them come out
and look at our windows. They said they would replace all windows for $1,000 total plus $50 labor for each--plus
we have to stain them ourselves. Nice...they make a defective product and WE PAY.

Ten people in my neighborhood alone have had their Pella windows replaced.

Stuff like this happens when corporations run amok and no longer give a damn about the consumer. It's the Dems
and the Reps who have kow towed to the corporations for far too long. Corporate America understands that they
can cut costs, screw us--and they will make billions--leaving consumers and homeowners royally screwed.

It's very sad.
