I would love to see a video on the complete removal of siding, and repair of original siding to facilitate having a historic home going back to its original state before the siding was ever installed. I understand why some people opt for siding, but for me it does not belong on a quaint older home. And I'm sure there are tips and tricks to make the home look like it did when it was first built.

if you don't have a fancy dandy siding removal removal tool a paint can opener works the same way (a buck/free vs $10 for the siding tool), use it where the locking channels clip in, once you get it started you can generally ease each piece off by working your way along the edge to unsnap the joining clips. After the first couple of rows are off and you remove the nails the pieces can be gently levered off by hand (if your saving them to reinstall) by pushing down and towards you, even by giving a little love tap now and again to unsnap them from each other. I use my claw hammer to carefully wedge them apart by pushing behind the loose piece. As Shannon says "Whatever works" really.

Thanks from Victoria BC Canada. How would you start from under the gable? I only want to remove some pecies to pull my sliding door out by removing the nails from the flange. But if I have to start from the top near the soffits, that means taking the whole side off from the house, cause the sliding door is under the gable. Please advise.

I live in the desert were the sun dries the vinyl. If you’re not worried about aesthetics or repair use a flat prybar in the middle layer. Separate the upper layers by pounding upwards on the vinyl to loosen them. Use the flat end of the prybar to rip up the bottom layers. I have found this to be the most useful way of removal. Always wear a filter mask, goggles, and gloves. This is a breeding place for spiders and dust

My BIG problem is they did not install Dura Foam, Nothing. They installed the siding directly on the exterior concrete, can I remove it like you show, then install the Dura foam installation, it is freezing in the winter. Then can I Reinstall the Siding?

I'm looking to remove siding, install new insulation, new sheathing and house wrap. Can vinyl siding be removed and then reinstalled for such a project?

@XIIImmoralist 4 жыл бұрын

Fastest way: unlock the bottom pieces from the starter and pull the siding from the bottom straight up, kind of like a very skinny U. With some good force the siding should stay locked to each other but the nails will rip out from the upwards force. Rip out a whole wall in minutes by just popping out the bottom and pulling straight up.

@HouseImprovements 3 жыл бұрын

Use a good foam tape that is 1" thick and stick it on the 2x4 , then put 2x4 against siding and let foam tape form to the profiles to close the gaps. It may not be 100%water proof but it will keep the bugs out

Can that tool be used to simply lift one vinyl piece up to get behind it? I bought a ring doorbell but my doorbell wire position is to low. Which leaves my stairs railing blocking the entire stairway you can only see people once they are almost all the way upstairs. Can I use this tool to lift one up to relocate the wire a little higher up behind the siding?

Use a small piece of plywood between your prybar and foam. 3" x3" is enough
