The Weyerhaeuser Settlement
"What kind of siding do I have?"
For any help with the settlement or process, please contact:
John R. Cobarruvias Home Siding
Claims
281-486-5203 johncoby@sidingclaims.com
Is this settlement fair?
Short answer, NO. Although in comparision to the ABTCO and
LP siding suit, this settlement is wonderful, yet to say it is fair to
a homeowner with costly repairs is not true.
How much money will I get?
In short, you will receive a reginally adjusted amount
times the total square feet of DAMAGED siding minus age difference.
Is this amount enough to fix my house?
NO. In every settlement so far, the amount provided as an "average"
cost of removal, repair, and paint is far below the lowest estimate available.
At least here in Texas where the regional adjusted price is about $4.00,
the REAL average is somehwere in the $6.00/sq ft range. You can expect
to receive somewhere between 50%-75% coverage.
What is the regionally adjusted price for my city?
The regionally adjusted price per sq ft is claimed to be the
average of what it would cost to remove, replace, and paint new siding.
Of course it has been our experience that this amount is lower than any
low cost of repair. You can call the claims admin and ask how much the
regionally adjusted price for your city is.
What does it mean "Damaged" siding? Wasn't the siding found to be defective
by a jury?
Damaged is defined in the settlement document and is much to
complicated to describe here. Most settlements are paying only for damaged
siding regardless of the jury's findings.
What does it mean by age deduction?
They will take a percentage off your settlement based upon
the age of your siding. In the Masonite settlement, it is 3% for each year
with some caveats. (see the settlement document)
How do I apply for the settlement?
Visit www.weyerclaims.com or call the 1-800-365-0697 and ask
for an application.
I don't have the time to do this application process for me. Can someone
help me with this process?
Yes. Contact me at 281-486-5203 or johncoby@sidingclaims.com
What is the overall process?
The general process is apply for the settlement, receive an
inspection, receive an offer based upon this inspection, accept the offer
and be paid.
I've replaced my siding already. Can I still apply?
Yes in most cases. The repairs MUST have been completed BEFORE
a certain date and homeowners have only 3 years to file a claim. More details
will follow.
How long does it take to apply?
About 6 months from application to check in hand. Some are
quicker, some are not. If you have reasons to expedite, then it could be
quicker, such as putting your house up for sale. According to the settlement
the claims admin is suppose to have an inspector at your house within 2
months of receiving your application. That has been the exception, not
the rule. The settlement is also worded so there is no possible enforcement
of this clause.
I've applied months ago and haven't heard from the claims admin. What
do I do.
Call 1-800-365-0697 numberand ask why.
Where can I get an official copy of the settlement?
Contact your attorneys. They can be found at the official settlement
site. Request a copy of the official settlement.
How much did our attorneys make?
