I wish all the departments from your company put as much pride into the quality of their work as you
We are at a house in Westport that BP built 20 yrs ago that is absolute rot disaster. First off they put the hardie plank siding right to the roof on all the dormers instead of a freeze board and didn't treat cut off ends. Also didn't properly step flash. So ends of hardie planks rotted. BP actually came back about 5 hrs ago and cut hardie plank back 2 inches and tucked a piece of flashing under.
Big problem is that the gutters across front of house were angled 1 1/2" in wrong direction away from down spouts. Subsequently for 20 yrs water has been pooling up against the house. Rotted hardie backer. Massive water intrusion behind it all and the sheathing OBS is completely rotted away behind siding.
An unneccasry mess that could have been avoided if had been properly flashed and guys that installed gutters knew how to read a level.
