Hello,
Recently remodeled a 2900 sq home. New roof, vinyl windows, and siding. Front of house is southern exposure. I am hearing snap, crackle and pops. Certainteed super max 5" soffit material( mfg. rated for vertical siding application)in front. Alside 16ft-25ft used on remaining 3 sides. Old tongue and groove removed. Tyvek was installed along with super tuf-r. Installed feb 2011. Originally wanted siding with attached insulation but was told above mentioned install was better.
Do not see any evidence of bowing, cupping or warping. Think I'm hearing the siding expanding. Windows are Softlite Imperial l/s triple pane. Called window distributor. He said it was not his material. He did recommend the installer who also did the siding. Contractor had good credentials with no outstanding or history of complaints. Was advised that these expansions sounds are normal..How long will this go on? Is this because its new?
Got so scared one day went up into the attic with flashlight in hand checking the trusses where visible. Roof material timberline hd lifetime 30% thicker shingles. 2 x 6 construction. Is this normal? Or did contractor nail this stuff in too tight and how do I fix? Planning to sell home in 3yrs and I'm horrified..Would you buy a house that made these sounds?? I'm a widow. Thanking your in advance..
