Please zoom in on picture. Had the front gable vinyl replaced and the both ends aren’t capped off/finished. I feel this isn’t how the job should look and I want to speak to the contractor about it. He mentioned the facia doesn’t come out enough but I think if I wanted the gable to be done, this includes the ends that are circled in the picture. In addition, there’s no j channel at the bottom of the vinyl to give a finished look like it has at the top sides of the triangle. Also where the top meets, it’s not connecting and appears to be open to the elements. Along the bottom of the vinyl I can see the insulation and it’s not sealed. Contrator says he will seal but how will he do this? Shouldn’t the bottom have a trim. I want to make sure the job is done right. Also, the white area under the black vinyl, is that considered part of the gable? There are rust spots and I’m not sure this makes it all come together as expected. I’m not an expert so any advice on telling the contractor what they need to modify is appreciated. Thank you

They probably used starter strips at the bottom to hold it firmly in place. Normal. The j channel on either end of the gable vinyl should have extended all the way down. You mentioned seeing insulation. Was the gable covered with OSB prior to the vinyl?

The corner of the gable is pure poor craftsmanship. They could have done much better, but they were lazy.
The peak is about as good as it gets.
Looking up, if that is the bottom of the siding, they didn't even use a starter strip, as I had indicated in the first post.
I would definitely have the owner of the company come back out, show him the problem areas and see what his solution is. Hopefully final payment has not been made.

MUCH better on the corners. I think they did the best they could on the bottom, but the flashing (white) makes it look much better. Those two nails ruined the entire reason for them to return. Your call, but I'd have that piece replaced. No surface nails on siding.

Doubtful. Any repair to the holes will remain obvious. They put the nails in there for a reason, probably to hold the siding in, not sure.
