I have to install some missing pieces of vinyl siding on my house. The guy that worked on it before me removed a window and didn't replace the siding or the barrier material that goes on before the siding.

I need to know what type of barrier material I need to install first.
 
What's on the existing house? If you don't know, do you know color at least? Did he put up sheathing?

My guess is that each manufacturer has their preference, so first, you need to figure out what you've got. The flashing around a door or window can make or break an installation, so make sure that is done right. Once the siding is up, it will hide the problems until it gets really bad.
 
Sorry for not getting back to everyone sooner.

I wasn't able to get a good look, but it appears to be a 1/4" to 1/2" styrofoam like material that is a kind of light green color. I believe the manufacturer's name begins with a "T" and has a sort of curved solid border around it's logo area.
