After damage by hail, our home was scheduled to have new vinyl siding replace the existing aluminum siding. The contractor notified us that our project was about to begin. Noting that the weather was predicted to be very stormy that day with gusting winds, we, the home-owners, told them in person not to begin. The contractors disagreed with us and told us it would be ok. We still insisted that they should wait until favorable conditions.
The next morning the work crew arrived and began removing all the aluminum siding. Our home was left with only the ORIGINAL Tyvek covering that had hundreds of punctures in it from the removal of the previous siding as the rain came. At the time that the storm hit, the house was in various stages of completion. A portion of the house had a covering of Thermal LCI Board. Another portion had both the Thermal LCI Board with a covering of PLY DRY house wrap. But, most important, was a section of the house that had only the original punctured Tyvek.
As soon as the storm ended, the workers continued applying and covering the wet house with wet materials. We immediately tried to tell the workers to stop. The did not! The workers were Spanish and spoke no English. (or so it appeared) We immediately tried to contact the contractor, But his voice mailbox was filled. When someone did finally some out, he told us that everything would be fine. We are still very concerned about mold and mildew between the walls that may develop later.
