Ohana, we are going to need you.
This is not a post we ever imagined having to write.
Several years ago, Angels With Misplaced Wings was given an extraordinary gift: major improvements to the property The Angels call home—including a new roof, windows, and James Hardie siding.
We were grateful. We trusted the professionals. We believed the work was being done correctly.
Then we started discovering what was left behind.
Mold beneath our approximately five-year-old roof - contracted for removal.
A roof leak that HPH determined resulted from an installation issue and has since been repaired.
Roofing components that later had to be replaced to meet Owens Corning warranty requirements.
Compromised bird blocking and ventilation issues.
Windows we have now photographed that appear to be missing proper flashing.
And our beautiful factory-finished James Hardie ColorPlus siding? Those spots you see covering our home aren't dirt.
They are the result of caulk being improperly applied during installation—something James Hardie itself has acknowledged.
We have also raised concerns about siding being installed over areas we specifically identified as deteriorated before construction.
And we have documentation.
Years of emails. Text messages. Photographs. Inspections. Manufacturer communications. Warranty information.
We have spent months trying to get High Performance Homes and the companies connected to these projects to meaningfully engage with us and help determine how this gets made right.
Instead, we have encountered disputed responsibility, conflicting answers, inadequate proposed repairs, unanswered communications, and corporations that increasingly seem unwilling to have the conversation.
So we're changing course.
We are preparing a formal complaint for the Washington State Attorney General's Office. We are seeking legal assistance. We are speaking with media.
And soon, we may ask the Ohana to speak with us.
Not to attack anyone.
Not to harass anyone.
Not to make threats.
To respectfully ask some very large companies one very simple question:
Will you please help make this right?
If you're willing to stand with The Angels, email us at [email protected] with **STAND WITH THE ANGELS** in the subject line.
We'll send you the facts, a statement you can copy/paste or personalize, and the appropriate corporate contacts.
Please don't contact individual employees or companies yet. We want to make sure when we do this, we do it together, respectfully, factually, and with integrity.
Because this isn't about getting something for free.
We already received the gift.
It's about asking the people and companies who put their names behind that gift to stand behind what was done.
Rescue is a moment.
Sanctuary is a lifetime. 🪽
