I took a window out, how should I fix the vinyl siding to cover the void?
Great job walking us through that .
The same tool is $7 on Amazon
Bought mine at Menards, look into the roofing/siding department where you can oder bulk supplies.
@@samalfakir5463 And I got mine for free from My Neighbor. He thinks he misplaced it.
Started watching this guys channel 4 years ago when I wanted to side my entire house...quoted 30k, I was able to side me entire house with new channel and soffit and fascia...3k...this guy has the best videos hand down....
I watched him do several home repairs...he is my favorite! Very simplistic approach!
30k? wtf? was he going to put golden siding on your house?
@@Talinthis That's how much it costs, apparently. My buddy/neighbor is getting his done and that is the same amount he said he's spending.
@@_Moto215 jesus i would just do it myself like the primary post who saved 27 grand and then go renovate a spare room into a badass man cave or something. 30k could get a lot done. even if you are a dummy, as long as you can use a protractor and you will make your cuts all nice and proper.
@@Talinthis It's ridiculous. Prices for everything are getting outta hand. I want to do a simple 12x25 deck and can't find a quote under $20k. Going to end up doing it myself. I've learned a lot by watching this guy Shannon. He's great.
I see that this is 4 years old, but you did an excellent job explaining how to repair a section, so thank you.
What difference does it make that the vid is 4 years old?
The procedure is the same today as it was then.
Thanks you just saved me $23,000 for 3 pieces of aluminum siding that got damaged in a storm . I had 2 boxes left they all refused to do aluminum repairs . Took 2 hours and a hand full of nails thanks man .
I did my whole basement watching this guy's videos. Everytime I get stressed on a project I can play his video and his voice chills me right out. Now I need to replace a corner piece of siding on my garage. Contractor wants 3K for the job.
Thanks! This was just what I needed in order to access some plumbing problems. BTW I'm a 60+ year old lady DIYer. I love that people put up videos so I can continue to learn new things.
Ditto! Exactly what I needed to know to access some plumbing on my outside kitchen wall. Thanks for making this video!!
Shannon, I've watched many videos and only a few, like you get to the instructions of the subject matter. Your videos are excellent! Thanks
Your home help and construction videos are the best I’ve found. Many thanks for taking the time to do them.
I've seen the tool before but never needed it until now. I've only helped put up new siding
This was incredibly clear. Everyone kept telling me I had to remove the entire wall of siding to get at ones in the middle. Just gotta get that little thingme to unhook the siding! Onward! Thank you!!
Always appreciate your help. I'm hanging a large window box in the front of my house and need this info to find the studs so I'm not left with unnecessary drill holes in my siding. Being that my home was just built, I mentally have to prepare myself for every hole created (silly as it seems lol). You're one of my top channels to go to for projects so really grateful for your thorough tutorials!
Pieces of siding keep falling off my house, now I know how to fix them. Thank you sir!
Thanks man, you took a bit of the mystery out of vinyl siding for me.
You took the words right out of my mouth
Thanks! An excellent start to finish explanation (and demonstration) in laymen's terms with laymen's tools. Much appreciated.
You're a dang good teacher. Looking forward to more of these
Good info. Thanks
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had to replace J channel around a bathroom window which was smashed by the Isaias storm. I had to remove the siding and your video did the trick. I was quoted $1400 to replace and repair and I did it for $70 for an online replacement (double glazed) window and an $8.95 tool. Not bad for a 72 year old man.
Thanks again. I wish a TV Network would give you a Home Improvement Show!
Was thinking the same thing!
Too bad no one watches TV anymore, however I agree, great job!
Excellent,
I have a vertical and horizontal J Channel damage on a window and siding damage from previous home owners dog. Watching your videos gives me confidence to repair myself.
This was a great tutorial easy to follow. It was my first time replacing vinyl siding and it was a success! Thank you
Thank You! It may be 6 yrs later but this was Exactly what I needed to know! Thanks again!
I'm sure you know there are a lot of people who ding up a piece of siding and look at it for years, because they just don't know how easy it is to replace. Thanks for another great video!!!
Excellent video. Shows exactly how to do it step by step. Absolutely a life saver because I need to remove the siding around several windows on my house to do a quality replacement of them.
Good video Shannon!!
You always make everything look so easy
I have to remove and replace about 8 feet of siding that got damaged in a storm
Mine is about 12 ft off the ground which makes it alittle more work
Thanks for your videos !!!
This video is awesome. I’m a DIYer and have to fit in a short 4’ section of siding where a concrete porch was removed in preparation of a new deck. Now I have a better idea of what to do. Thank you.
I’ll been doing this for 20 years I am still learning thank you for your Video
Was watching TV and a tree trimming crew dropped a damn tree on the backside of my home it was LOUD severely damaging my siding almost a month ago now. Company that damaged it are totally fine with paying for it to get fixed. However trying to get a siding company out for a small space has proven a nightmare. Thank You for this video!
This was the most helpful video! I do 99% of the work at my house because my husband is disabled. I've needed to remove the bottom layer of siding for a while and was always afraid. This has me at ease!
Definitely subscribed and looking at your other videos!
of course you release this video the day after i was struggling to figure out how to replace a piece of vinyl siding :)
now i have to redo my nails in the center of those slots and pull them out a bit. damn you!
You should have investigated before doing. I assume you were cursing yourself, not the messenger.
3 1/2 years later - this gives me encouragement. When I replaced all of my masonite siding 20 years ago, the best decision I made was to go vinyl. I've easily saved 10's of thousands not having to paint. But after raising a family - baseball, hockey, pellet rifles and airsoft guns, ahem, there are a few places needing replacement. I wish it was just the grill that got too close :)
good video.
Thx Shannon. ..had a Rock flung from my snow blower punch a hole thru my dutch lap siding .Will tackle this repair for sure.
Thanks for this. First time home owner that hit a small mound of gravel hidden by some long grass and wound up with a few holes in our siding. Always happy to learn some DIY skills for repairs. Going to use your videos when we build our next home
this is great! my wife used to practice axe-throwing at a target on the front of our vinyl sided house. now I can fix easily fix the damaged areas !!
I had to fix my siding real quick because I put a hole in it for a camera system. Realized how dumb it was to do that but because of this video I was able to fix it easy thank you!!!
Excellent tutorial ! Very helpful. What kind of person would give a thumbs down on this video?
A Hack contractor. We have many in Maryland and they are protected by a state regulated body known here as DLLR.
Bbq melted my siding.....always had a brick home before so, lesson learned. Because of your great video I went out and bought the tool (inexpensive) and another length of siding (inexpensive) and replaced the damaged area. It was as easy as you made it look...I took my time. My neighbours found out and I soon became the “expert” in siding repair. Ive since repaired 6 friends siding in the neighbourhood.....all bbq damage. Thanks again for a great, easy to understand video.
I jus melting mine from bbq. My worry is the house wrap now. I have to check to make sure it didn’t damage the house wrap
Gr-rreat video! Yes, the grille bumped the siding AND at some other time a ladder fell on it - stupid, stupid, stupid mistakes. Thank you.
Just bought the siding tool. Taking care of my cracked siding eyesore this weekend. Shannon to the rescue again!
You can do it!
This was a great tutorial! You make it look so easy.
Dude ... NICE!! Nicely done, to the point, informative, no b/s, no stone unturned. Heck, you even removed and reinstalled an entire piece in real time in just a few minutes.
Had DirecTV put in a dish once, the dumbass screwed the bracket to the wall with 6 big-ass lag bolts into the siding, then found out it was too high and the dish hit the overhang of the roof!! Take it down and drill 6 more big-ass holes ... what a piece of work!!! Put in a sliding glass door years ago so I've got plenty of matching siding left over to put to use now.
I just learned something today. Thanks for the vid. Interesting.
Perfect! I need to repair some vinyl siding where the contractor (who turned out to be not very good) didn't overlap adjacent pieces properly and it leads to a gap during the cold winter. Thank you!
You can do it!
Perfect. I was an idiot and melted my siding with the grill lol. Thanks!
my god I did the same thing!
we are in the middle of our first more or less ground up flip other than the main shell.. i accidentally crossed your video and have been watching what i can find now. i love the fact you do not just prattle on about non relevant things and you speak at a rate that is actually pleasant and 100% understandable.. thank you.
Glad I could help!
You sir are a life saver. THUMBS UP!!
Good job! !! Where I can get that tool?? Its very helpful your videos!!

Its called a sideswipper. Any lumber store
Man what an awesome video! I hardly ever comment on any videos but the simplicity of this video is awesome. Short, sweet, and to the point. I feel like I could watch this 8 minute long video and two weeks later go do a siding repair on my house and not forget any information or have to sort through pertinent details. Not a bit of information not useful. Well done!! Exceptional quick, easy, and straight forward video. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!
Great video! You should do a similar vid of soffit
$7 DOLLARS AT LOWE'S... U saved me lots of time and money thks I did a 2 tone on house. we just survived Hurricane Ian in Florida...
thanks a lot. Top notch video, as always
I think you took what I thought was going to be a one week job down to a few hours. Thank you
The tool is called a sideswipper. Any lumber store
Hi Shannon, thanks so much for this tutorial. I bought the tool and this morning tried to remove the vinyl siding from my basement wall, oh my gosh, I just couldn't get it! I watched your video 5 times, maybe I didn't have the strength to push it up all the way, I couldn't hook it. I hope I have more luck when I have to put it all back on!! ☺
👍Great Video!
Thanks for this! I’ve got hail damage and needed to understand how to replace the damaged strips. This video was great! Thanks again.👍
I'm a Newbie at all of this House Improvement. I work at Mobile Home Depot, and learning much about siding and skirting right now. Thank you for this information.
Thank you so much for the incredible video! I just swapped out a piece of broken siding with a fresh one. Took about 15 minutes thanks to your tutorial.
I think you just saved me. I blew a 12 gauge slug straight through the siding of my house by a window, did a quick fix patch but I’m gonna go ahead and try to replace it myself tomorrow, many thanks brother
Your videos got me through installing my own siding on a detached 2-car garage with no experience. For that I am incredibly grateful. Last week I was tossing a fence post that bounced and knocked a hole in the brittle-cold siding. This video was perfect for what I need. For that, I'm also grateful.
You just got a new sub today! Great video. I removed my deck last weekend and have been stressing about replacing my siding. You just gave me that confidence I needed! Thank you so much for the helpful information. Cheers!❤
Thank you! I'm pulling new ground wire for a new electrical panel. And the original hole is under the siding. You helped me more than you know 👍👍👍
Much thanks for the education. I'm replacing a sliding glass door for some french doors, and I need to take the siding off to get the frame out. Got to get me a new tool! Thank you very much.
Shannon has taught me so much. I’ve done a lot of home improvement projects learning how to do them 100% from his videos. Just had some siding come off ceiling of carport. I knew right where to go to learn how to replace. Thank you.
Great to hear!
Thanks!
Thank you Robert
I appreciate what you’re doing. Started a handyman business a couple months ago and nobody knows everything however you are a wealth of info for someone like me. Thank you sir.
This is a very helpful demonstration of how to install the siding, thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I’ve got a client that needs this done and I feel much better about being able to tackle the project on and helping them out. God bless and thanks again.
Have some water damage to the osb so I will be replacing that. After watching your videos I think gaining access for this job will be manageable. Thank you
Thanks! You made it super simple. 6 bucks for the tool and 15 minutes of work.
Sir, you're the best UA-cam has to offer. Thank you, your video helped me and I'm sure countless others.
Really good video. To the point with good instruction. He did not waste time falling in love with his own voice.
This was great. Now I have the nerve to do this repair job myself. Thank you so much!
Why anyone would dislike a video like this is mind-boggling. You can bet those that dislike something as good as this, dislike *everything*
Yes sir, great video. It helped me replace a hole in the vinyl strip on my garage. The neighbor kid has poor aim with his BB gun. Rather than whip him, I gave him a life lesson of kindness and fixed the hole in my vinyl myself. Watch our video to loose stress.
Thank you for this GREAT video! I need to replace a hose bib, and my house has vinyl siding, which I don't want to melt while sweating the new bib 😁. You hit the important bits of info, and your demonstration is clear. Much appreciated!
Thanks sir! I had a carpenter who framed in a new deck do some j-channel outlet cut ins. Electrician was doing conduit today (yep... live in Chicago), and it turns out one of those outlets in concrete in the foundation since my house in a slope... I then went to cut in an vinyl outlet / j-channel in a panic, and of course put the outlet on the bottom of the 4" vinyl siding (shoulda been the top....). I got a few pieces of 12' vinyl siding coming to fix a few pieces and a siding tool. Home boy is gonna learn some siding I guess... Doesn't look too painful with your help! Cheers.
I’m thinking about putting a piece in.
As years ago the job was not done correctly. It unsightly
It’s means being on a ladder.
There’s other areas that could use this repair.
Thanks for the demonstration you made it look easy.
Go for it!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I successfully repaired damaged siding and saved lots of $$ and built up my confidence.
i bought that tool and it worked perfectly.that one panel thats been sticking out for 6 years is back where it belongs
I was a bit nervous about repairing my BBQ grill melt damage, but your video makes it seem pretty damn simple. thanks
Shannon to the rescue once again. Had a major hail storm last week. Roof is totaled and siding damage. I’m leaning towards doing the siding myself and letting the experts handle the roof.
Good call!
Thank you very much for the explanation, this video is really everything I wanted and needed to put back some pieces of siding in my house. All the best to you, always!!
I have to move a light fixture over my garage that was installed badly, so I have to cut a new hole and cover up the old one. This video helped me figure out how to cover up the old hole with a new piece of siding. 👍
Awesome help video my man. Thank you for a great presentation. It was exactly what I needed to replace my damaged vinyl siding in the middle of others that were not damaged. Good job.
Great tutorial. I love watching craftsmen at work!
Kudos to you.
Every video, every time. You know what you're talking about, and you educate us DIY you tube scholars so well that mistakes cannot be made.
Thanks for the knowledge!
Very helpful video! I was able to get the siding off and put the new pieces on with little trouble. The problem came in "snapping" the pieces back together with the handy dandy tool. My pieces were very difficult to lock together and since I had two pieces of siding to replace, I had to "unlock" many pieces to accomplish this job. My hands were cut and bruised by the time I was done. All the while I was thinking...there must be a better design that is still effective and not this difficult! I am a 69 year old woman who works with her hands on a lot of outdoor projects but I barely had enough hand strength to get the pieces back in. Next time, I hire someone to help me!
Good explanation 👍🏻
I was able to replace Vynal side that was damaged.
You are a legend. Thanks for making this video I was intimidated by the concept of replacing some siding I damaged on accident but now I feel confident that I can do it easily.
Great video! Right to the point and easy to understand. I need to remove some siding to caulk a window leak and you saved the day!
Thanks for the tips!
Cable company ran coax all over the exterior of my house, punched some holes in the vinyl for nailing clips to it and made some nasty holes for exterior penetrations. Gonna redo the work and hide all the cables behind the siding. Or, better yet, put all the drops on interior walls and have them come in from the attic with a wall-mounted junction, accessible from the garage.
This video was sooo well done. Your instruction was very clear with just the right amount of detail. I'm an adult educator so I appreciate when videos are well done.
one of the few youtuber's I watch where I know I can thumb's up before the video even starts!
I need to change a siding panel. This video explained the process very well. Thanks Shannon!
Very useful demonstration. I do all my home maintenance and projects and this is a big thing to add to my knowledge base. I've seen a fair bit of floppy siding on some houses and no one seems to fix them. Great 👍 video.
Excellent! Needed to replace the dryer vent. The vent flange is nailed in under the siding. I needed to remove a panel to access and replace the dryer vent flange.
Came here expecting a lot more work in removing a panel to hide security video cables. Tool will be here tomorrow. Thanks
I have to install a new dryer vent and this just took most of the fear out of it for me. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create and share this! I asked my neighbour for pieces of their old siding when they were replacing theirs so that I can fix mine. (BBQ mishap😒).
Next job will be to add a wall with deck boards (on 4x4 post brackets for concrete) behind my bbq so this doesn't happen again. Unfortunately it's the best spot for my bbq so I'd prefer to keep it there
Shanon, first let me say that I LOVE your videos, they are so helpful and you are not only a great Contractor but an excellent Educator. But allow me to be an old man and suggest something inappropriate under normal situations...Smile.
Always the right channel to come to when questions need answers. Thanks
Thank you for spending all 8 minutes of your Canadian Summer making this video.
😂
