These videos have been Super helpful!!! Really thorough and completely understandable. Step by step. I'm still working on my 10 x 20 workshop and have never used vinyl or aluminum fascia but with these videos it is really coming out nice! Thank you very much. I know everyone appreciates these as mush as me.
So helpful thank you for putting out this content. I’m a carpenter and just started doing siding about a month ago, and this video helped me to show some tips and tricks that I will now use almost daily!
Hey I enjoyed this video...I LOVE how y bring items into the camera so we can see clearly what you're doing. I appreciate this so much. Very informative and great for everyone all skill levels.
Thank you so much for the knowledge. Of your trade. I have done lot of wood siding. Now in my 45 years of the building trade. I'm teaching my self how to do vinyl siding. Your presentation was excellent. I will go back your site for more vinyl siding tips.
FINALLY! THANK YOU!! I have been searching high and low about finishing the top row of siding under a soffit with a bird box. I originally installed my F channel the wrong way and had a difficult time finding the correct way / trim.
Hey brother, I can't thank you enough for this information. Although i sure wish i found your channel before asking some 'handy' friends for help...lol. We're first time DIYers on an old poorly built - and by old poorly built i mean damn near collapsed - house in eastern Canada. Thanks to the knowledge you've shared, my fiance and I will be finishing the rest of the siding, fascia and soffit on our own. Cheers from Newfoundland
Hey Josh I just wanna thank you for your video. My mom's place in Delaware caught fire and I came to repair it from Colorado. I'm a bartender and have pretty much no carpentry skills. Your videos have really helped me get this done. Honestly without your help I would have had to ductape something. I'm doing this alone so your videos are perfect for me. Thanks a lot brother.
Sorry to hear about your mom‘s place. I’m glad you were able to get everything fixed! I know it’s a lot when it comes to learning a new skill but now you will know for the next time. Thanks for watching!
These are outstanding videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise and knowledge. I’ve been doing woodworking for many years (mostly home projects from my garage shop) and was always interested in learning about vinyl siding. My house could use a renovation to this end and after watching, it seems like a project I could handle. May sound crazy but what seems to be the biggest challenge is contending with scaffolding and that whole element. Wondering what it would cost to rent and how long it would take one person to do a two story house. Probably a job that’s a bit too much for me.
Im about to embark on my detached garage based on your videos about siding and facia. Wish me luck! Thank you for all the detailed and thorough information!
Man, im sorry i havent been able to keep up with your videos since the deck built.. i will catch up this weekend though , im finallyhave off sat and sunday.. i hope your channel grows . Your content is awesome. Love your videos. Helps me a lot since im in construction too.. i will smash the like button!!! Thank you!!
Trust me I understand that life gets busy. I’m glad you are finally finding some time to enjoy some UA-cam. The channel is growing. Hope everything is going well with you. Thanks for smashing the like button!!
Awesome video, you saved me a ton grief. The top row of vinyl siding on house has been falling out , all over the house. Now I know why and how to fix it.. They never used the indersill strips to secure the ripped edges!! I'll fix that, and sleep well in the next wi d storm! Thank you, great instruction and presentation.
Probably the best video I've come across for siding installation instruction. Thank you! Do you have any instruction on installing vinyl siding over clapboard? From what I understand I can keep my clapboard, which is in good shape, and put a layer of foam insulation over it before going through the normal process of installing the vinyl siding.
Thanks for posting all of your videos, they have been very helpful!! I'm building a garage and I'm just about to install the vinyl siding. I was wondering if you could possibly make a short video on how you install the blocks for my exterior lights before I put the siding on. Thanks again for all your help!!
Hey Steve! I’m glad find my videos helpful! All you have to do is use a small level and get it level and plumb and nail each nail hole on nailing flange. Hope that helps!
JUST IN TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything I DID NOT KNOW, NOW, I KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep posting BROTHER !!!!!!!!
Muy bien explicado, aunque mi ingles no es muy bueno se entiende perfecto.construí un segundo nivel en mi casa y solo me falta la instalación del siding ahora con tus videos se me hará mas facíl, eso espero.
Awesome video. Never done siding before and this video series gave me the confidence to dive right in. Question is,......Is there a simple way to determine roof pitch on an existing structure? I'm going to be siding a detached garage that is in serious need of TLC
So I've never done siding before but I came across your channel today does this also work for mobile homes I'm trying to modernize my mobile home and give it a all new look
Thanks for all the tips and tricks. My only suggestion would have been nice to see what you install and how to cut it around windows and doors. I know some people will use J-Channel and cut the corners in a way that it folds around the corners as one piece which creates a perfect corner just never had someone explain it and show it to me
Easiest way to find your angle is to measure your siding size and use a square to make a mark at that size on the panel below then measure over to the Jay from mark . You should always know your siding size anyway for an up and over or any other situation where you might have to measure to make your siding match up
Josh ! great videos, learned how to use a speed square for more than just 90 degree cuts ! Curious to know what the 7-12 means is that 7 inch rise over 12 inch run ? What other common roof pitches are there ? Thank you again for these great videos, it is always great to see people who have pride in their work and enjoy teaching ! If your ever in Baltimore drop into tinybrickoven for a free slice of pizza !
Great tutorial! Thanks. Would be posible to know if there is any pattern when cutting and installing siding along the wall? If so, could you please let me know what would be the pattern? Thanks again
Josh great videos! Really helping a guy out to fix a siding problem. My question is what do you use on the bottom of the siding for the corners so no wasps or other flying friends invade? Not sure if i missed that in the video.
Very useful, thanks. I have a question, please. In the front of my house, I have a porch with 4 inch cement slab on top. How will I start the siding on top of the cent porch to keep the same line for all the front of the house ? Thanks.
The videos were informative and helpful. Do you use chalk lines as you’re working the siding up the wall so that you don’t start to cause a drop or rise? Also would be nice to show how you cut the siding going over the top window channel.

Consider investing into sturdy steel ladders and extendable planks. I noticed that you still use scaffolding when you could use some tall step ladders with an extendable plank to walk across. My lumberyard has been selling them like hot cakes. They save so much time setting up and taking down and are multi-purpose.
How did you do over the top of the window, is there a special channel that goes over the top of the window or just the butal tape covers the Tyvek and on top of the window frame? Just curious, I know if I'm wondering so are a few others....So I'll ask .
I have learned so much from watching your videos. I have a question I can not seem to find a straight answer for. We are going to vinyl side our house. Under the old aluminum siding is wood siding with furring strips. When installing the new siding on top of the wood siding do we have to use both the furring strips and foam board to create the flat surface for the new siding? Or can we use just one, the strips or the foam boards? And which one would be better to use? Thank you
Awesome tutorials! I am building a 16 x 20 foot shed, and am at the point of starting the soffets and siding. My question is in regard to doors and windows. I got the part where you used undersill trim beneath the window, but what about the sides and top of the window; does the siding just butt against it? What about around the door; do I use J channel? Thank you!
You do not put anything at the sides in the tops of the window other than J channel if it is not a new constructed window. But new construction windows have the J channel built around them already. The door is just J channel yes. You are welcome!. Good luck on your project.
Could a person tuck the undersill trim into the j channel before he nails it, at the top? Then one nail thru the lined up nail slots would nail both at the same time, rather than doing undersill separate from J ?
Just wanted to add very informative showing of siding! Even for an old grumpy hot tar/flat roofer! Thank you
Thank you. I'm building a 24x30 2 bay garage and you explained everything very well. Thanks again for a great video

How did you find the 7 12 measurement
Thank you!
You are welcome!
Great video but you were making me nervous on that scaffold. This is the best video yet. Thanks.
Thanks George! I don’t like heights very much either but had to be the job done.
@@TheExcellentLaborer I did carpentry work for years and never got used to working on the edge of the roof.

I have thought about those in the past. I have just never broke down and bought them. Good tip. Thanks for comment!

Or you could just use a skyjack.
Getting the angles for the pinch of the roof/gable, could you use a siding t-bevel? Great videos!
Muy bien
Great info video bro. Hey listen are you around the Carolinas? Thanks
How did you do over the top of the window, is there a special channel that goes over the top of the window or just the butal tape covers the Tyvek and on top of the window frame?
