Should/Do most contractors who install James Hardiplank have go by the manufacture's installation guide or can some come up with their own method of installation. I feel like they cut corners :whistling2: just to get the contract and I want the warranty to be valid once they complete the work.
I'm a female homeowner tying to do my homehork on this issue.:detective:
Please advise.

The J.H. Rep should do a thorough inspection along with a review of the original contract wording. They should also supply you (if not, make sure to request one), a written report on the installation evaluation (listing all observations and concerns + anything that is not according to industry standard and/or J.H. standards).

The Rep should also list his qualifications, such as certifications, position within the company, etc.

That document will be your entire argument (within any scope of future discussions, whether they be arbitrational or legal).

(Just to Clarify - I am stating these points, not from being on the wrong end of things, rather, I have many times been called-in, as the individual who does the onsite inspections & written evaluations on improper installations, poor construction design, material failures, shoddy workmanship, etc.)

As previously stated, I truly do hope that all - can be properly resolved.
