i've never seen it that loose before. its your house and you are the one paying the contractor...ask him.

It wouldn't hurt to have a few more fasteners (looks like staples) in it. I would also ask the contractor to put duct tape on the seams as well to form a better barrier.

Looks unprofessional, definitely more fasteners needed. Tyvek makes a tape for all loose ends that should be put on to keep out drafts and also little critters. Where I live its County code to have all that put on.

It is sloppy, but I doubt that matters. The siding will hold it tight. Question is, why doesn't your contractor know how to use a stapler? I suggest spending an entire day watching him with binoculars. A paranoid contractor is a good contractor.

This is very sloppy tyvek.I have been in Construction for 25 years,One thing that is very important to a job is the preperation. especially when doing exterior work.That Tyvek needs to be tightened up.Once again an ounce of prevention now will prevent problems and costs down the road.
