House Wrap Not Fully Covering House Before Vinyl Siding

If you re planning on a siding installation during the colder months look for a house wrap that remains pliable regardless of the temperature.

House wrap not fully covering house before vinyl siding.

I am not re sheathing the house so i am unsure if a house wrap is needed when re. My question is do i install fanfold foam insulation over the substrate and then put housewrap over the fanfold or do i put the housewrap on and then fanfold over that and then vinyl siding any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Generally a home s construction method dictates the type of house wrap if any a building needs. Basically the walls right now go exterior gypsum tar paper like stuff foam board vinyl siding.

Its primary purpose is to prevent air and water leaks that may have seeped past the vinyl exterior. House wrap is hidden from sight once your new fiber cement or vinyl siding is installed but it serves an important purpose. What do you suggest that we do. It seems that we have two options.

It has that old sheet rock like sheathing it s black i think it is exterior gypsum. I plan on putting vinyl siding. I doubt very much that a house built seven years ago has no insulation in the walls unless the builder was so irresponsible to not have done so. A professional builder or contractor should always make the final call on house wrap using it incorrectly can affect your home s ventilation or cause mold to build up.

My house was built in the 60s and doesn t have normal plywood sheathing. The second would be to blow insulation into the walls. Do you think that there are any other options. So blowing new insulation should not be an option.
