Every James Hardie Siding Rule My Contractor Broke - Over 25+ violations exposed

This video exposes more than 25 installation violations of James Hardie Lap Siding and Trim. Despite being directed before construction began to follow Hardie’s official instructions, the contractor systematically ignored manufacturer standards — leading to pervasive installation errors across every wall, window, and trim line. This video maps every finding directly to the official James Hardie Best Practices Guide: Nail line used as lap line – exposure not per spec, Hardie logos visible High-nailing above the nail line – cracked boards, reduced structural integrity Insufficient 1¼” overlap – water intrusion risk Edge nailing – cracked and chipped siding Butt joints not nailed on studs – loose and rattling planks Missing or incorrect flashing – widespread water penetration potential Improper trim clearances and gaps – caulk failure and trapped moisture Starter strips omitted or mis-installed – improper water shedding No Z-flashing above doors and windows – 100% omission across structure Trim splices cut square, not beveled – improper water shedding Frieze boards mitered instead of board-over-board – premature edge failure Incorrect nailing patterns on trim – under-fastened, poor aesthetics Unprimed field cuts – accelerated rot and paint failure Improper Tyvek overlaps – compromised water barrier The certified inspection concluded that full remediation and re-installation were required and stated the contractor and crew had no experience with the product despite telling the homeowner otherwise. What You’ll See in This Video: Side-by-side video/photo comparisons of each error vs. Hardie’s published instruction How to identify these issues on your own home or new construction Why Watch: If you’re hiring a siding contractor, this is a must-see guide to protect your home, your warranty, and your investment. These mistakes are common — and often go unnoticed until it’s too late.
