Vinyl siding is supposed to be installed using large headed nails and room left for expansion and contraction. The problem with the vinyl siding is not the siding itself but rather the way it was installed. They used staple guns which left no room for the expansion and contraction, the heads of the staples pulled through the siding during the exp. and cont. and left the siding loose.

There is no inspection required for siding insallation, thus, no one caught the installer.
