A group of residents in the same Naperville development are dealing with Allura siding on their newer homes cracking years before it should.
John Furth showed the I-Team dozens and dozens of cracks that run up and down his fiber cement siding, which industry experts say should last up to 50 years.
In a letter from the manufacturer, they offered Furth $210 to replace some tiles, then blamed the issue on the installation, saying the cracks "were not determined to be product related" and were due to "installation deviations."Furth said it would cost him about $68,000 to fix the problem. He's concerned about his ability to sell the home one day and worried about potential water damage.
Neighbor and homeowner Giridhar Burra said one contractor found 284 cracked panels. Burra and Furth said the developer offered to replace all of the siding, at cost, without profit or mark-up. Still, the bill would be roughly $55,000. In a letter to the I-Team, the attorney for Oak Hill Builders and Developers said homeowners can file a claim with aagainst the fiber cement siding company Allura.
