Can you post some photos.
Yes, it can be very frustrating dealing with bad contractors hiring people with zero pride in their quality of work.

Don't ask the builder to replace the siding. Ask him to give you the siding you need even pay a nominal price for it. That way, you can do it right yourself. I have a working knowledge of shingles and clap boards and rudimentary flashing. Lead the water off and out.
Thanks. That has occurred to me and I hope I can finally find him in his office or out on the job.I have cut some small pieces from the piece of siding that came off and hope to show him just how *^$##@&*^ the installation was. Doubt of he will care. He doesn't listen well and the mistakes that were pointed out to him were just received with a shrug with no explanation. How do you explain this. Had a very good Schlage front door lock set left over from home we built 17 years ago in another town. I had it because contractor that built that house didn't bother to check center lines for that lock set and ThermaTrue door came in prepped wrong.He knew we were using that particular lockset, knew it require special prep and #@%^*$# it up. Things is 2013 were going to be different. Verbally told contractor at first meeting that I had the Schlage lockset for new front door and it required special center lines. About two months into building current house, I delivered lock set to contractor in his office and again told him it required special prep. That lock set sat on the floor right in front of his desk for thre *&^%$*#@e months and guess what? $2500 ThermaTrue door came in drilled for locksets one would purchase at Lowes or HomeDepot. He just shrugged and told me to pick one out at Menards and charge it to his account. Just a shrug over a mistake he made because he didn't listen after being told repeatedly that door required special centerline drilling. Gave a very good Schlage lockset to GoodWill.Hope someone enjoys it.My mental health tune up for today. A little venting goes along way when one is 80 and can't do much else
Right again sir. I'm 80 with severely damaged nerves from a sever shingle attacked that almost killed me.I'll have to take hydrocodone just to get out there and do that siding job, but I'm going to do it. If it still comes off, it's shame on me this time. Regards to you sir.
BBB is not a boyz club from my experiences. Once I've had to escalate to BBB with major dealers, they have provided at least a reasonable resolution before BBB closes the case. Last time I did it was with a new car dealer who wouldn't give me a $500 deposit back on a lemon that didn't work out. They wouldn't reply to my calls until BBB got involved. And that record stays there forever. Nothing to lose imo.
The first time this siding came loose, I'd have gotten involved finding the root cause. And after the 2nd time only a week later, I'd have demanded a reason why it came loose and something in writing that would guarantee the "fix" for years. 5 attempts after 5 years? That's just insane.

DENSO makes vinyl siding? That's good to know. Thanks
