Board & Batten siding installation started today. Should it be centered over the door, so they hit the lights at the same place? It just looks wonkie to me.
Once it's laid out and figured in to account for windows, doors and the light fixtures like you have it can be difficult to get everything to break on perfect centers. Whoever installed this didn't do too bad of a job.

I had some board and batten siding installed on a project and I want to make sure I am getting what I paid for, as I went for a well known high priced siding company. The job looks a little shoddy to me but I don’t know the tolerances generally allowable on this job.
There’s at least 3/4” gaps in the trim over the drip cap on the window. The housewrap is showing through. What are the recommended installation gaps to leave in this area? This is my main issue.
There’s a half inch uneven reveal above the windows where they have the upper piece of hardie above the windows
Hardie reveal over door is not level or even. Gap is about 1/8” over middle and increases to 1/4” or more on right.
Metal filings not cleaned up - although not a big issue.
Large gap over the outlet cover. It’s around 3/8” or so.
Thanks for your knowledge.
