I hope Lowe's® is paying you.
@@gazinta Nope! I wish they would!
@@TheExcellentLaborer I'm currently not advertising. On my other channel(beekeeping), I'm getting a hookup on a phone through U.S. Cellular. My local phone store(in a mini mall) got the plug. I'll see if the seed I planted takes root. Lol
@@gazinta Man that would be awesome! Any extra money is nice.
@@TheExcellentLaborer I got U.S. Cellular right where I want them!

I'm working on a community charity build project this weekend and I'm opting for vinyl siding instead of sub flooring. Years of watching building shows on tv have given me basic knowledge, but your video gives me more confidence that I can be a help, not hindrance, on this volunteer project.
I’m a 20 years old guy trying to learn this job and tbh I learned everything because he explained the way it need to be explained thank u I’m goin to work on monday
This video should definitely be a good resource for you. I hope it helps!
I am a licensed general contractor, and I approve this great siding man as one of the best in siding industry.
Lol
Do you have to. Have doors and windows up to put up siding or put treated wood under skirting to put sidding up first ? I want answers to some ?s
Guess you haven't seen custom work from a true craftsman. Siding ia an art.and metal work and detail is what separates the true Rembrandts. Good video for beginners but thecraft is perfected through decades of experience . (45yrs and still goin)
You are amazing man! I’m 28 and a homeowner, love working on my house, your videos give me the courage to tackle these types of projects! Can’t thank you enough.
You are welcome. I am really glad to see you found my channel! Being a homeowner is rewarding and being able to do your own projects around the house is satisfying! Good luck with your projects and stay turned!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Hi, Do you know any company that sales the vinyl siding?
I lived here on Guam, and would like to replace my old vinyl siding.
Thank you in advance.
Only had to do siding couple times my house and some of my dad's house. Learned from my real good friend that was a master builder , he showed me , but you really do a good explanation of it. Thank you on your builders time to explaining it .
Did general construction as a contractor for a while . Went to painting . Costumer asked if i could do some siding . Said yes. Then remembered its been a good numbrr of years . Great refresher course
Thank you I need a refresher course on how to install siding this video help me tremendously and not everything is always a straight wall. I have to basically clean up all the damaged areas of the house and fill it with wood and foam insulation sheets, and then add Tyvek , then Install Vinyl siding. All the way up to the soffit and facia board and then probably cover that as well.😊
Yes, you are an excellent laborer, Josh.. I always look for you on UA-cam, when I need your help and what I need to learn from you. Your instruction is very clear step-by-step and make it simple to fix things with what tools to use. I appreciate it very much and helpful.. I can see you are blessed with what you do.. awesome..
This is my favorite channel on YT. I'm a local handyman with my own gig, and even still there's jobs I'll come across where I'm not familiar with the process, and this channel gives the best explanations and examples. Keep up the good work bro.
Using these instructions for my whole shop. Finished the bird boxes , soffit, aluminum fascia and getting ready to tackle the vinyl siding.
Thank you very much
Fantastic! I'm so glad you are finding value in my channel. Stay tuned for more!
Just got my trim and first piece of siding up thanks to you. Made it easy. Thank you
I absolutely LOVE how you explain the how's and why's of every detail!! I'm going to be getting into some major renovations on my home, and I didn't know where to turn to as far as diy videos. I was just casually scrolling through random videos and I came across yours. Man, am I super glad I found you!!! I really, really love the attention to details as you show each step of the job!! The reasons on how and why you do something a certain way is absolutely phenomenal!!! This is the very first diy video I found of yours, and I'm can tell you, you are the ONLY person I will be following here on UA-cam whenever I have a question or not certain how to do a project!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! for taking the time and patience in your videos to show us diy'ers the wrongs and rights of each detail of each step in whatever project you're showing!! Anyone following your videos will know without a doubt that the project they're working on will be done as good, if not BETTER than, any professional contractors!!! The attention to details might make each video a teeny bit longer, but the end result will be the absolute best!!! Thank you so much, again! I definitely look forward to starting my next big project!! P.S. - My projects will be done on a 3-bedroom, 2-bath double wide mobile home. Do you have videos on vinyl siding and other projects for mobile homes?
Out of all the vids that came up when I searched for this topic, I am so glad I watched yours. So informative and well explained. I cant wait to do this on my home. Subbed and will check out your channel for other vids to learn from. Thanks!
Great to hear. Thanks for stopping by and watching some videos! Stay tuned for more and thanks for subscribing!
100% Agree
Terrific video! Getting ready to side a house built in the 50’s. Your video will be instrumental in my project. Great explanations and very detailed! Well done and THANK YOU! 👍🏼
I just subscribed to you because my last name is McLeod. The real coincidence is that I'm looking to do home improvement/repairs on my dad's house. He passed 3yrs ago.
My husband and I watched your video to learn more about some repairs we needed to make on our siding. Your video along with another on UA-cam fit the ticket! reattached the bottom of our siding (strip etc) with no problems!
That is so good to hear. That just made my day! I love knowing I was able to help somebody get a project done. Be sure to stay tuned for more videos. Thank you!
I watched your video from start to finish, even though I am not planning on installing sidings, nor do I even have a house 😂Just shows how well you put together this video, got me intrigued. It was very entertaining with great tips and tricks! 😊
Thank you for this excellent content. I am building my first large project- a small cabin. People like you are helping me have wins everyday 👍
My guy didn't even flinch with that big ol' bug on his collar @ 19:30! Bug got bored and just left. LOL
😭😭😭
First time home buyer looking into how easy siding may be. You make it sound so easy. Well done on the video
Starting my new job and this was such a useful source of information. I'm really grateful, thank you!
Thanks buddy for taking the time to show and explain the proper installation of vinyl siding
As a 20 year home remodeling guy I’m learning exterior now and your video is top notch! Thank you - Dave
Josh - I had a smaller project but your clear instructions were very helpful. I never put up siding before and this video was great - I appreciate your detail with the process. Any other DIY plans I have, you will be thd first one I look up. I’ve told my neighbors about you too. Thank you very much.
Anyone else see the huge bug on his shoulder at 19:32? These videos have really helped me out over the last couple of months. I am building a 20x20 shop and its been stressful to figure out each part of the build along the way and then worry about passing inspection. I literally just watched this and went out do to what he says. Super helpful.
Looks like a cicada - you can hear them singing in the background.
Lmao
Absolutely excellent instructions, part 1 and 2. I wish note people did their tutorials like you.
For a one man show this is well shot and produced, loved this.
Thank you! It is very challenging to record everything and do the work at the same time. I appreciate you noticing. Good luck with your project!
I had a side business installing siding, soffit, & fascia on weekends & was always busy because I could do the job a lot cheaper than a siding company. I wrote out the contracts & listed brand names of all the materials I would use. I never had any complaints.
I've been putting siding on for years and I've never chalk lined the corners, but that's not a bad idea working by yourself, you can get them straight without eyeballing.
So let me ask you if you have old mason siding .....can you put vinyl on top of it ????
@@number1lebronfan953 yes we have before, vinyl covers up a lot of things haha
I'd measure from the bird box to the foundation add how ever much you are hanging down, transfer that to the top,. Then do the measurements from there . I always try to keep factory edges when I can.
@@therealme4552 Great tip... also eliminates having to cut both ends of the piece along w/ tack nailing it up there and doing the ladder dance a bunch of times.
- measure from the bottom bird box to the foundation, add 1"
- measure from the bottom bird box to the inside edge of the 'rake' overhang, add 6" in this case, mark your 7:12 roof pitch line and cut
@@symcardnel1741 Are you essentially measuring and marking the piece upside down, then rotating it 180 degrees so the cut part fits into the top?
Probably the most thorough/informational video I have came across! Great teaching skills. You gained a new subscriber 💪😄👍
Thank you.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate your kind words. I love teaching people how to do things construction related. Stay tuned!
I’ve watched a few videos. You’re the gold standard. Thanks!
If you don't have brand new or really sharp snips, they're worth it for doing this job and just making it a little easier. GREAT video!
You are a good teacher. Very clear and I understood you perfectly
Simple and very informative, thank you!
Perfectly thorough instructions! Newbie to Pro can understand what needs to be done and why it needs to be done. And you explained everything w/o any unnecessary BS.
Great job!! Thanks for posting this!!
Thank you so much! Be sure to ring the bell and stay tuned!
You down a super job on the side wish that yours here when we had something to put on our building and cost the ones to put ours up they put screws and everything and it's cool to them too tight My husband tried to tell him they had to leave him a little loose but no they said that they were losing enough so now I guess we'll end up having to call him back and have him to redo it cuz when we told him that it was too tight he got mad and said this is the way it's supposed to be done and it's not too tight so thank you for the video it was very nice to watch and anybody to watch as this man knows what he's doing cuz we know thank you so much and you have a wonderful life and always be safe
I also work with construction but none of our guys looks like you! Brains and beauty with a southern accent is a delicious package!
You know what.
You taking the time to explain this stuff as thoughtful as you do. Has to make your job take so much longer.
But most youtubers just blow thru the little details and causes shoddy work from us diy guys.
Your a real teacher. Thanks for your videos and the time you dedicate to it.
Your awesome 👌
I've taken down vinyl siding on a house that I tore down and salvaged . I'm thinking about using that siding that I salvaged to close in a part of my barn to make a chicken coop since I don't have enough tin and I really need to use what I've already got so, this was helpful on understanding how to install since I never have and once I close it in I can install the siding and paint it to match the tin and make a little extra room in the barn. Thanks!
Appreciate your video. Just bought a house and about to redu the siding. Never done it before so We gonna see how it goes.
Thanks! I hope after watching this video you have a good understanding of it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the excellent videos. Easy to understand and very informative. You made learning how to side my home easy. Will be watching more of your work for future projects! Thank you!
Great video, I repaired 8 pieces of Siding myself because of this video, thank you so much!!!!
Awesome! Glad I could help you. Good luck with the rest of your projects Franko!
Love how he is very detailed on every part of the job it was very useful information
I keep all my videos, very detailed because it helps majority of people that are beginners. Some people that are advanced might find it slow, but I’m out to help the majority. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for Sharing your knowledge. It was easy to understand you and what you were explaining 👍
Great, informative video. Thank you for making it for all us beginners.
Just an excellent job of explaining! Thank you.
Thanks so much. I wholeheartedly agree with papagiogio85's comments. I had a house with facia and siffit gaps sporadically located around the house. Poor workmanship all around to say the least. Very much appreciate your informational video (and educational for me).
Very well explained with details at every step.Thanks.
Knowledge is wealth! And bro! You have got a lot of it! Thanks a lot for sharing it
Your videos are excellent and you're teaching is perfect

Appreciate the content bro, my dad never taught me this stuff and this makes me feel confident to do my own stuff!
You are welcome Chris. I was very fortunate to have a father teach me about building houses. Appreciate you watch in my content!
Como ystalar Zaire. En.el.atigo.
Thank you man . well explained with details and tricks
Very helpful thanks for the tips definitely improved my technique and ability
Great video. Great instruction
First off...
Awesome video.
I am installing vinyl siding along an angled roof line. The angle is 3 inches over 12 feet. Have touch on roof.
The siding I am using is double height.
The problem I have is that where it is supposed to snap in at the top the ridge of middle of the siding is too fat to snap in.
I can send some pics to help show the issue.
Thank you to share your video. Excellent explanation. Nice job.
Thank you for the very thorough explanation.
Thanks Tracy!
Very good video excellent I am just arrived to this counrtry and i’m working at syding and roof and your videos teach me so much. I will want some day to know you and work next to you. God bless you good man.
Thanks for stopping by and check out my channel. I hope it helps you on your journey. Welcome!
Great informative tutorial. Two thumbs up for this easy to understand vid.
Thanks a lot Ruger!
I really liked watching your videos very good on detail. I would like to see every step. You were going to nail up that 10 1/4 but didn't show it. I am about to take and install new pieces where the vinyl has cracked an or melted. Great smile, makes the video even more interesting great work
Thanks a lot for this awesome comment! I appreciate it. I try to keep it detailed because people who have not done it before tend to like that. That’s funny you noticed that in the video about the 10 and quarter inch LOL. I hope you stay and watch some more videos!
Been a carpenter for years. Good shit
Nice work dude ,,excellent way in describing what you are doing step by step,,,
Thank you sir!
Thank you for teaching us
I made a jig out of a 4' X 8' piece of plywood & a 2" X 4" X 8' so I could cut the siding with a circular saw with a plywood blade on the saw backwards, you have 1 person cutting & another installing. Doing it that way you can work a lot faster & easier. I did 8 homes using my system & it worked fast everytime.
Great video for the uniformed, thanks for posting.
Thanks a lot John!
Gr8 detailed video my man.thx a bunch.look forward to many more.good job
Thanks for watching Brad. Stay tuned!
Wonderful video, great teaching aid
I appreciate the video. I also applaud how professional you we're when that cicada landed on you, 😆
I remember those cicadas were bad that year. Appreciate you watching!
I mashed it! 😆❤ Thanks for the great video! Would have loved a final look from far back tho...
Excellent vid! Thanks for pointing me to it! Great channel!
Thanks Terry! Stay tune for future videos!
It would be a great idea to do a future video on installing a J block with wood backing.
great presentation. Easy to understand. I learnt a lot. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad I can help!
Right on. Love the detail you put in
Also starting from the top at your pitch using your speed square was smart . Chalk line on the corners before corner trim goes on , kept it straight and lined up with the nail holes
Thank you for the time stamps. Great video
You’re welcome. Timestamps are definitely useful. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video man! The cicada distracted me in 19:35 climbing from your shoulder to your neck!
your video was very helpful thank you very much
Super helpful thank you very much!!
You are welcome!
Great video and info. One thing I thought about was to you could before you start find every stud and Papa line on them and that way as you go up and as you know you can nail into the studs!!
Thanks for that video I just started tomorrow my project whit you helped
Thank You so much for sharing with us God bless You
Hi Patricia. You are welcome. Thanks for watching!
Good video for beginners and I am sure I learned something new
Glad to hear it!
The little grove inside the speed square at 2 in is for scribing a straight line easily there’s usually one at every quarter inch I believe on most squares. 👍
Fantastic tips thank you for sharing
Thank you! Thanks for watching 💪🏻
Thank you very nice job
I like your creativity is amazing it encourages me to learn contractions in future.
Hum....new construction is way different than a remodel but good info. We measure down for starter, shoot it with a laser level, only install laminated- insulated siding, insulated corners and hang everything with Truss Screws because it gets windy in Texas and screws give you less chance of blow off. We also brake buddy our fascia and nail it with a X pattern, miter our J channel, use hidden vent soffit and stay 12" away on the under-lap panel while screwing into the closest slot on the overlaps to try and force better seams.
Beautiful and clean job greetings from México city
Welcome Julio. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this video. Am going to put it to use tomorrow. Liked and Subbed.
