The Construction Defect Center says, “If a homeowner knows for certain their home’s exterior window trim or fascia board is the Georgia Pacific PrimeTrim, and this specific type of wood trim, or fascia product has started to swell, delaminate, warp, shrink, or rot, we want to hear from them anytime, and these homeowners can be in any state, including California, Florida, New York, Washington, Ohio, North Carolina, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Arizona, or Illinois.” According to court records it is alleged the Georgia Pacific PrimeTrim siding product has a history of premature failures involving warping, delaminating, rotting, or shrinking.
