We built a townhouse in the 1980s using FRT plywood for roof sheathing—is there any recourse for me?

Question:

We built a townhouse in the 1980s using FRT plywood for roof sheathing—is there any recourse for me?

Answer:

Most replacement programs have expired by now, but it can't hurt to gather additional information about the product and contact the manufacturer if they are still in business. A good resource on this topic is the, Home Builders Guide to FRT Plywood, published by the NAHB Research Center–visit www.nahbrc.com/bookstore.
