Should you EVER see nails in the finished product of your vinyl siding on your home?

We are building our house and think that the vinyl siding looks like it wasnt done right. There are nails in the siding at the bottom of the piece of vinyl. Its only on the first 2 rows towards the top, but not the vary top. It’svery noticeable and now some parts are starting to fall off! Does this sound right?

      #1 Absolutely not, you should not see nails anywhere

      #2 You have been screwed by someone who has no idea how to do vinyl siding

      #3 Make them stop working, dont pay them, take pictures and go after them legally
