Masonite Siding and Ryland Homes
"The siding absorbs water on exposed faces, causing it to swell, buckle and discolor. In extreme cases -- which are as easy to find as walking across the street -- the siding simply rots right off the house."
--"Closing Costs" by Brad Tyer, The Houston Press

Perfect example of edge swelling on Masonite siding]

Ryland Homes built many of the hundreds of homes in my subdivision with Masonite siding. This product has been found to be defective by a jury (verdict page 1 and page 2) in Alabama affecting millions of homeowners. Including hundreds of Ryland homes in my subdivision! Ryland Homes wrote to the Judge objecting to the Masonite settlement because it didn't protect the builders. You can find the PDF format of this letter here.
