16 Comments on New Wave Siding
WOW- I have never seen siding like that and I gotta say, hope I never do.
Jay--what a disaster for the neighborhood. My hubby & I have been working on siding our barn this summer. I hope it stays there forever>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mary - it will if it is Old Wave.
Kim - I see it all the time! By the way, I go to Lu's Barber Shop right beside your office! I'm right up the street - call me!
Wow that is quite an eyesore- I have seen this in my area on new construction and in almost every single case the buyers did not even want to go into the home.
We also have a lot of cases where people have their grills too close to the vinyl and burn them- not so much the contractors fault though.
Gosh Jay,
I don't think those boys were found at the Seven Eleven ... I think they were found at Das Pub.

Jay, is that an installation issue or some kind of overheating by reflection?
Hence the line, Mr. Shadow! The sun moves from left to right, in the picture. It is on that wall only a couple of hours a day, and only in certain times of the year. Windows do such damage a lot to siding, when it is hung incorrectly!
Das Pub, perhaps, Sue, but unprofessional either way!
Christine and Jennifer - yes, grills do a lot of damage too! I see that a couple of times a week. It is the kind of mistake that when made, one probably slaps their forehead for the obvious mistake not thought about before hand! There is only one fix to this problem - replace the siding. The problem is, the new stuff, even if the same brand and color, will not be the same color as the product still on the house.
That's what I like about you Jay, you always seem to get my point.
Hey Jay I came across this a couple months ago on the second story of a home. I figured it was caused by the sun reflecting off windows. So it's a combination of that and siding that's been installed tight?
Right Vince. Amazing how much energy glass reflects the heat, isn't it?
It is. Here's the photo I took. Not as dramatic as yours but I think the same issue.
I think you're right Vince. Notice how defined the problem is. Reflected heat is real heat! Remember magnifying glasses and bugs?
I have seen the same thing from window reflection warping the siding.
Notice the date in the photo. It was a cold day.
James - reflective heat is amazing, especially off of windows.
Jay I don't think I've ever seen one that bad or at least that distinct. Nice photo.
Jack - this was a short sale. Surprisingly, inside, things went pretty well.
