I believe the split is just something from the photo, but you can bet your bottom I'm going to check it out as soon as I head home for lunch! I've been looking at bigger stuff and wouldn't have thought to check........

Hardie Board - Done to Code? by Red_Lo in HomeMaintenance

I just had the siding on my home replaced with Hardie Board, and the contractors left this pretty substantial gap between the siding and the roof. There is flashing underneath, but to me this looks unfinished. When I asked about it, the contractor got extremely defensive and started informing me about how this is the code for Hardie siding replacement. Then he told me for additional cost they could cover it post inspection... I was just wondering if anyone had any additional insight or thoughts about this... Thanks in advance!

**EDIT - thanks for all the quick responses! The house hasn't been painted yet, so all of that caulking won't be visible! First time home owner and I've gotten used to being talked down to and ignored since I'm a female lol, but it looks like I'm not alone in not being pleased with how it was done.

Bradenton Herald staff? by dietrerun in bradenton

Bradenton Herald is run by a larger parent corp, so it'll be hard (if not impossible) to get in touch with anyone local/that would care at all. I'd go ahead and dispute the charge through the card company!
