Thanks guys. There was a lot of basic problems with this siding. No but joint flashing, bottom panels in contact with concrete, improper wrb behind the siding. Also, this was the same house from my “grouting needed” thread. I’m getting ready to tell my clients that the fiber cement cladding and stone veneer were installed improperly and will be probe to moisture issues and debonding. It’s a new construction so I’m nervous this might become a battle with the builder. Any advice?

Being new construction you might be able to get a field rep from James Hardie Corporation, if that’s the manufacturer, which is a very good chance it is.

Here’s a link to a similar thread posted this summer.

Hardi Board

If anyone finds installs not consistent with James Hardie Corporation Installation Specifications, a field represetative will come to the property free, if the install is really poor, they have their installation auditor come to the property as well, look at the entire install, and write exactly what has to be done to correct the installation.
