I am so stressed out about this! We have a Marlette manufactured home, a bit south of Ketchum, Idaho. It has HardiPlank siding on it, and it was new in 2003 and built on a foundation. The first owner was the Fire Chief and his family--we're the second owners as of 2005. The fascia is starting to come apart up by the eaves! I am so stressed! I called Marlette and they take no responsibility whatsoever for it! Additionally, the original paint is peeling terribly from the HardiPlank siding. I called them as well, because the paint is supposed to have a 10 or 15 year guarantee. Again, a company that takes no responsibility for this! Can anyone please advise me as to how tis problem happened, and how this fascia problem can be fixed? Do we hire someone in construction or a handyman or what? Any details you could give me would be very helpful, as I sure don't know what to do! We need to get this done before Idaho weather starts changing! Also, does anyone know of a really good super-powerful-against-the-elements paint and primer for us to use? One photo is of the North side of the mfg home, looking upwards. The other is of the peeling paint...also, some of the paint on the siding itself is starting to show small areas of "bubbling" for lack of a better term. Thank you so much for any help!!!
