Up on the Rooftop: Exploring Complex Defects Claims Involving Shingle Fastening and Transitions – A Hands-On Workshop

September 28, 2023

Join Tampa Senior Associate Ashley Mattingly and co-presenters Mark Hopkins (Guardian Group), Frank Griffin (Envista Forensics), and Christopher Lambert (Engle Martin) for the CLM Construction Conference on September 28, 2023, in Austin, TX. The program description is below:

It is becoming more common for roofers to become primary targets of the claimants in construction defect claims or cases. Often in these situations, the roofs are damaged by other contractors during construction or are otherwise compromised by lack of proper coordination of the trades where the roofs are integrated with the exterior wall building envelope. Leveraging a case study example, this session will assist participants in navigating the complexities that may arise in construction defect allegations in claims and litigation files and on common issues with fastening and transition flashing that may result from the work of the roofing contractor or other parties involved in the construction. This panel will be joined by a knowledgeable roofing consultant with over 30 years of experience in the industry and will make use of hands-on mockups to demonstrate various conditions related to asphalt shingle construction.
