Great vid! Just one suggestion...the siding shouldn't rest on the bottom J channel. You should have a small gap to allow for expansion and this helps avoid oil canning. Learned this from my cousin who had to learn this the hard way.

Very helpful video. Question, the bottom row of J-channel, it seems it would be pretty close to the the bottom of the sillplate (top of the foundation), whereas on regular horiztonal siding it would extend a few inches below that because of the starter strip.

@josieishee9676 27 күн бұрын

Okay question so we are installing it ourself on our double wide it’s staring to dent in on some pieces only on some the vinyl creates dents and it’s not nailed tight. Also the vinyl is only so tall it doesn’t reach the top of the trailer. We had to do a transition strip like an H trim piece but worried about it leaking into it.

Thanks for this! Question, Do you have a video of a wall taller than 10ft? Using the cross board to make it go up to roof line? Great video!!

@AJ_Lyon46 8 ай бұрын

You would just j channel each side of the board and continue on. Same as the top and bottom of this wall. Personally I would install a drip edge before the j channel but a lot of guys don't.

@vboutique2188 Жыл бұрын

Do you need the utility trim on all 4 sides of the windows and 3 sides of the door? What's the plastic material behind the siding will that keep the outside of the wall waterproof while working on it in case it were to rain?

@oldsteamguy 2 жыл бұрын

These vertical siding videos are outstanding. They seem to be the most detailed instructions on the web. What supports the weight of the siding? Is it the J channel at the bottom or do you put one of the nails at the top of the nail slot?

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 жыл бұрын

The siding weight is held by the deck and the nails help it from falling off. If that makes sense. Nail in the middle of the nailing slot.

Hi, thanks for the videos. I have a question and I haven't seen it on any of your videos. There are a couple of locations in my house for the AC disconnect and water spigot. They cut the hole and put the trim piece, but it doesn't sit flush against the wall because the opening is right on one of the ribs of the siding. Should I just cut the siding so the trim goes all the way back? I really don't like the gap, also I worry that water might get in. Thanks

@kevingarvie377 Жыл бұрын

How tight do you make the length of the pieces? Leave 1/4" gap at top for expansion?

@gentleman5845 11 ай бұрын

The color looks good and i love the way it looks, we're starting to see more of that style here in Canada. The installation is very much different here , the construction code would not allow you to nail the siding directly on the structure. A gap is needed with a piece of wood between the final structure and your siding allowing humidity to circulate. Rust might attack your nails , those going through your walls and isolation causing humidity and water infiltration over time. Keep a eye on the outside walls with concrete basement at the bottom, vertical rust lines are indication of water infiltration behind your siding.

What's up with nailer? Are there nailer blocks installed at framing or is this plyboard nailer only? Would think u would want stud as nailer?

@mattedwards4533 5 ай бұрын

I am retired now but installed a lot of siding in the past. You covered the instalation well. I would only add that if there is a question on whether the siding is snapped in or not try moving the piece in question up and down. If you can't move it a little it is not locked in.

@brandoneadie8566 3 жыл бұрын

are you able to have one side of the house horizontal, and then another wall vertical? might be a nice way to reduce overlap pieces to make the house look a bit nicer. for example two of my exterior walls are 38ft length, so making those vertical would make it nicer I would think because removing overlap.

I have never done that. That might be a good use for PVC board instead of vertical siding. Good thinking!

Informative video but I have a question. When you nailed the trim overlapping the inside corner it looked like you drove the nail inside of the nailing flange without going through a slot. Won't that prevent expansion/contraction of the inside corner? Thanks! I want to do this with my home soon.

Yeah I was wondering about that too, shouldn't it just match up to the holes of the inside corner piece instead of it being wedged into the gap?

Notice how a good installer uses hammer and nail and doesn't drive the nail tight. Do not use pneumatic nail or staple guns people! Your wall will buckle and look awful when the temperature changes.
