Confused contractor did poor job - now out of business

We paid $18,000 to have our house sided and have new windows put in. Over the last 3 years we have had so much trouble with the siding staying on and now have lose windows in the house. The company would not reply to our numerous calls and letters. The company now appears to be out of business. The owner seems to be in a neighboring town. Some say we have no rights since the company is out of business. This seems so unfair for us to put that much money into our house and now a couple of years later we have to have it redone. One contractor stated that the nails that were used were too short and that they didn't hit any studs. Parts of my house are now exposed. Any advice on whether I have any rights would be greatly appreciated.

You could still try to sue the firm and him personally.

The court may let him remain as a defendant especially if you can show any fraud or attempt to hide shoddy work or the like.
