Hey Michelle. Thank you so much I have a couple siding videos but mostly repairs install goes the same way start at the bottom and work your way up. I will get it on the list! Thanks for commenting
Thank you for the video! You make it look easy. Now I'm wondering if I can replace my own vinyl siding. Home repairs like this is new to me. Does anyone know how much it should cost if I hired someone to remove and replace 3 panels? I don't want to be overcharged because of my lack of knowledge in this area. Thank you again!
heyhey dreamer! youre most welcome..the area off the repair should run a couple hunderd plus material at least...more if its in a hard to reach place....the scary repairs are the most expensive...i hope this helps!
@@homemend Thank you so much. It's the side of the house. Easy to reach. I can identify where each panel begins and ends. I guess that hard part is finding the same vinyl siding. Thank you again!
How do you remove the vinyl siding if it has Styrofoam insulation behind. The Styrofoam insulation will not be rigid so what is there to pry on to get the the nails out holding the old vinyl siding to the house. Any ideas on this?
we had to take the bottom part of the siding on our house to lift it and straps it. now we are been told that we need to take the full siding of the house to be able to add the part that was taken out in the bottom. is there a way to ad the siding that was taken out to the house without taken the whole house siding of?.
I just want to cut out about a 1 ft. or 2 piece instead of an entire length. I have a few spots on this place I just bought that looks like something was thrown at it and punched a hole break in it. I just can't see replacing an entire piece. thanks. Lots of help here.
I saw another video of a guy doing what I was trying to do in the first place... by cutting a short piece and cutting off the top nail rail and part of the bottom flat hook piece and then he just rivets it in place from the bottom part. Hope to find that tool whatever you call it at home depot. Thanks
just to warn you guys ,these unlocking tools will mark up your siding when you are trying to jam it into the the lock chanel , the metal rubs off and makes marks on the siding , next time i use it i will be sure to place a piece of thin cardboard behind it like the thickness of a match book or foldable clothing gift box type cardboard , the marks the metal leaves will come off for the most part but not too easily
it is really nice of you to do DiY video but i really have hard time to pull my viynl out and i used the same tool but i just didn't get it why i can't pull it out
hey pooh! do you have double dutch lap like in the video? find a seam close to your repair, then go to the piece above that and unclip..you dont have to be carful with the one you're replacing..i hope this helps
Dustin, thank you! My 19 yo double wide has one broken spot on the front, and one on the side of the house. I'm going to buy your tools and do this! How do know where to place the nails?
Eileen Robinson hi Eileen! So awesome! I usually do mine as needed. There are slots in the siding for the nails and you can place them about every 16 inches apart. You got this! thanks for sharing!
duckmanjoel hey duck. The zipper tool slips between the tracks of the siding with the hook toward you. You can slide as needed to install or remove. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
hey gandy.. yes that can be tricky on some styles of siding.. its kind of a push up, circle under type motion? lol not sure how else to describe it.. be gentle but unless its old and brittle, its a tough product. i hope this helps1
After having a Hail Storm and 4 pieces of siding damaged the Insurance company estimates over $6K to replace 781 SQ FT but won't pay 1 cent to repair/replace damaged siding and I have the replacement siding from the original install. Go Figure. So I'll just take their 6 Grand Plus the $15K to replace the 9 year old asphalt shingle roof. OH don't forget the gutters and down spouts and the Garage roof for a total of $24,000 dollars. All because they won't let me repair/Replace 4 pieces of siding. Way to go American Family Insurance.
You have just armed me with some very powerful diy.... and to believe I was going to pay someone to have this done. Thank you.

To aid in installation I have used screws instead of nails easier to get in a hard spot.Screw with washer head built in.
Nice going Byron. Thanks for sharing!
How do you remove the vinyl siding if it has Styrofoam insulation
behind. The Styrofoam insulation will not be rigid so what is there to
pry on to get the the nails out holding the old vinyl siding to the
house. Any ideas on this?
Hey Nathan. The nails will be Into a stud or sheathing. If the sheathing is foam , pry at the stud. You got this.
we had to take the bottom part of the siding on our house to lift it and straps it. now we are been told that we need to take the full siding of the house to be able to add the part that was taken out in the bottom. is there a way to ad the siding that was taken out to the house without taken the whole house siding of?.
hi see it! it may be difficult but it can be done, you may need to install it top to bottom instead. You can do it!
thx -- very informative

do i have to get zippertool?
hi james, you don't have to but it can be tough on the finger tips without it. hope this helps!
can you cut it with kitchen scissors or do you need to get a siding snipper tool?
Can't really tell how you are using the tool. Which side?
duckmanjoel hey duck. The zipper tool slips between the tracks of the siding with the hook toward you. You can slide as needed to install or remove. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
theres also a link in the description if you need it!
I always have a hard time getting the tool out after installing. Any tips.
hey gandy.. yes that can be tricky on some styles of siding.. its kind of a push up, circle under type motion? lol not sure how else to describe it.. be gentle but unless its old and brittle, its a tough product. i hope this helps1
All that work to fix one little hole?
hey judy..yes but it looks like it never happened..no credit there?lol thanks for commenting!

thanks for commenting!
If anyone would know how to fix stuff, it would be Eugene from the Walking Dead.
thank you lane!
Not complete. Why no word about removing nails?
hi Q.... weren't you paying attention! ? 2:50! thanks for watching!
Home Mender Inc.,
You're right. I don't understand. I have no explanation.
This looks hard
you got this marcus!
Too bad you never mentioned corner trim/pieces. Not a complete how to ...
scott hey Scott. Actually it’s about a piece of siding, not a corner. I hope it helped.! Thanks for commenting.
