This guy is a natural Expert. I don’t know if he teaches at the college. He is calm, good voice slow and clear explanation, and starts from the begging for everyone to top for professional people. I enjoy his expert explanation. Thank you sir. GOD BLESS YOU.
I teach on RUclips . LOL.
@@HouseImprovements you are the best brother thanks for these videos
He's either a natural teacher or, has had good experience teaching others. Starts just at the level of anyone who should attempt to do something like this, sticks to the subject, and shows or tells you just what you need to know. Great job.
+dnsmithnc My only experience teaching is here on youtube with these videos.
+HouseImprovements You rock! thanks for the lesson.
You should cover your js with your window casings.and also you should run your last course then put j upto siding and run soffit its a much cleaner look
Great job explaining!, man, you could teach a group at any technical school with no problem!, congratulations for that ability, a natural gift man, great job!.
@@HouseImprovements Years ago, I wrote instructions for setting up and operating manufacturing equipment. One day, I got the idea to videotape the process and then created a comic book from the video. On some of these videos, I am tempted to make my own comic book so I will have these instructions actually out on my project.
No matter what "tutorials" I watch on RUclips, I always come back to Shannon. Thanks, bud. You're the real deal.
Thanks Dewayne...why waste time somewhere else? LOL
Me too shannon. Keep it up!
Yes! I put my roof on thanks primarily to Shannon.
I like this guy, not only does he show you the correct way to do something but he explains certain details that are important. Great video thank you!
***** Yeah my wife and I are general contractors so we do all kinds of things, some of them for the first time. We watched this and his soffit/fascia video and we've found Shannon very informative. Terrific communicator.
Guy seams verry nice .but for the record you never put accsesories on b4 you get your starter line ... What if your lines lower than you put your corners
lol....you wrote SEAMS like a nice guy. I get it.
actually, I wanted top see how he finished off the drip cap and top of the window
I'm assuming he already knew where he was going to put the 'starter strip and worked the vertical trim pieces on from that point and up.
I love how this guy explains things, he takes the time to explain every detail, he doesn't use a go pro camera like other guys do, he doesn't do time lapse, I get dizzy watching videos with go pro cameras. Keep doing these videos just like this one, they are very well made and very informative. Great job, I'm learning a lot from your videos, keep up the good work. 👍
What an incredible time we live in! As an older woman who is a full time caregiver to my disabled husband,I am so grateful that you take the time to educate us DIY 'ers! I must do things myself as every penny counts and our old wooden house needs lots of work. Thanks for the great video and teaching, I think I may be able to handle doing this with such great info! Blessings!
Good luck Kimberly
This guy is incredible! Explains everything easily and thoroughly. A true craftsman as he has an eye for detail and quality.
This is simply the very BEST how-to vinyl siding video anywhere. Shannon is personable and calm and really knows the work. Well done!
I don't think I have enough superlatives to describe how good this is as an instructional video. EXCELLENT. Very thorough, and extremely well presented. Thank you! Gives me all I need to tackle a similar job by myself.
I've watched a bunch of your videos today alone just because of how well you explain things in detail, along with tips. The key for newbie DIYers like me is that we need people like you that don't we know certain things. You start us off from scratch, and I thank you for your that!
I was nervous about trying this myself, but Shannon describes the process in a clear understandable manner. This is one of the best How-to-Do videos on RUclips. Thanks!
What an excellent video. Lots of valuable tips from his experience; speaks slowly; doesn't repeat things over and over and over. He covers a lot of information, but new facts continue to emerge. Great job! I feel confident to be able to install siding for the first time now! Thanks.
I built my entire shed from start to finish watching this guys videos. Turned out fantastic. Thanks.
By far, the BEST how-to video I've ever seen on any topic! No rambling, unnecessary intro or background or self stroking of ego, just clear concise information from the very start. The video answered all of the questions and concerns I had about how to install vinyl siding in the near future on a garage. Thank You! Keep teaching us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your repair and installation videos. I’m young and I’m a home owner. You have helped me install and repair stuff around my house! Your videos are always detailed . Keep up the good work.
Used your videos to help my very first siding install, a 12x14 shed. Everything went very well, and all the little tips and tricks played in my head as I needed them, especially the measurements for angled roofing. It was the right information, at the right level, delivered in a manner that really stuck with me. Mucho thanks
Shannon I watched several of your videos. This one also was Great. You speak slowly and without unnecessary confusing terms. I’m reinstalling my siding from a patio to under a deck and I need to raise up th J channel for drainage off the wall . You did it the same way I had thought it would work the best . I’m a Old DIY Guy . Many thanks
best 30 min videos,,, we need more people and videos like this, subscribed 👍
We are building a garage and watching Shannon has been very helpful. He not only explains step by step but also gives extra hints along the way.
You are a natural at teaching, this is one of the absolute best DIY instructional videos I've seen.
Thanks
This was a great video. My siding is messed up from the people who installed it, wavy everywhere, parts falling off. Was good to see there are people out there that know what they are doing, just watching this helped me realize where they messed up on my house.
I wish this guy taught other subjects. He is AWESOME. The siding came off my house during high wind and this video has supplied all the knowledge I need to confidently fix it myself.
I can help also on this comment board, this guy taught me back when I was an apprentice with these videos.
I do siding everyday all day.
Been doing carpentry and the trades a long time. Master of none. But I do a good job because I care. This guy has all the characteristics most of my bosses along the way lacked. He doesn't assume you know a step or procedure, he shows and explains every step without extraneous words or information. So you can actually watch his 1/2 instruction video and feel CONFIDENT not confused. Also, his demeanor is engaging not necessarily entertaining. I'll watch Red Green for that! So thank you fella. I'm going out today to get started!!
Shannon's videos are awesome. I had never installed vinyl siding before, so I looked for information on how to do it. Thanks to Shannon's videos, I have completed my shed siding job and it went like clock work. I highly recommend his videos.
Me either! In 1978 or 1979, my dad and his friend installed the sidings. Still beautiful condition ever since!. My house had real sloppy job on the south side of the house and the garage and I intend to install it the right way. I wish there could be seamless sidings looking perfect from any angles. I bought my house last year.
very good teacher , and he takes the time to help people understand , thank you so much God Bless you
Hey Shannon, just wanted to say THANKS for all your videos! I've literally built a 8 x 8 shed start to finish with your videos. Installed a 4ft wide roll up door, designed a hip roof, installed aluminum soffit and facia, and of course, vinyl siding. All your videos are extremely well documented. Thanks again for providing such great videos!
I HAVE REMODELED AN ENTIRE HOUSE using Shannon's videos. Wow! You are amazing and your videos are perfect in topic and instruction! Thank you so much and keep it going!
I used his windows videos and installed 19 4'x3' new-construction windows for $6700, vs the $18,000 estimates from "professionals." That includes the interior casing and trim (thanks again, Shannon!).
Glad to help!
Thanks very much my 1st time building a 12x12 shed with vinyl siding watch your videos many times to make sure I got it right. Great videos easy to follow, Cheers!!
This guy is a natural at making videos!!!!! One of the best videos I have ever watched. He is crystal clear, informative, he goes at the perfect pace, he is down to earth and definitely gives you the confidence to tackle this project. Honestly bro THANK YOU!!!! MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS TO YOU!
This is the best how to video I have watched. You made it real easy to install the siding. Your explanation is thorough and very clear for a rookie like me. Thank you for this bud.
These videos are fantastic. Shannon shows all the important steps and doesn't assume that you know anything, so it's very easy to follow step-by-step.
Just got done installing soffit, facia and siding on my 1500 sq. ft. house. Thanks to Shannon it came out great. His tips saved the day. My only challenge was trying to find nailing edges sometimes. My garage was at a lower level and this video demonstrated how to handle the different heights. Great video for the semi-handy.
I'm thinking of doing the same. About how long did it take you to do the soffits, fascia, and siding?
11 years and this video still useful. A big shot out to this great teacher
Excellent ideas for someone who does not know what they're doing I myself have been doing this for years 48
And I can still learn something new everyday thanks for sharing
Great video! I did'nt realize the importance for subtracting 1/4 of an inch for expansion. This video gave more of an insight on how to do vinyl siding. Thanks!
Nice direct style with enough critical detail to help someone with no experience. Thanks, Tom
Crystal clear great instructions - one of the best how-to videos I've seen on youtube. Thank You!
Thanks for explaining the how and why for everything there is with Vinyl Siding. It's easy to skip steps when you've done it a million times. I appreciate the video, great job.
Great information. Clearly explained. But I must say, Shannon, you are an outstanding educator! If you ever want to educate young people in the building trades, you will be epically successful.
I'm a brick mason by trade , and trying to get my place fixed up to be more easily maintained as I age. I have a simple 16' x 16' storage shed I am putting vinyl siding on and in my area, you can't hire the work out. For that reason, I really appreciate the how to videos on vinyl. You make it very easy and clear what and what not to do....Thanks!
After watching this I'm confident to start applying for siding jobs. Thank you, sir!
Siding under my window separated from the house in the heat. Installer didn't use the undersill or shim trick you mentioned here to keep it tight. Now I know how to fix his work. Your vids are just fantastic.
Shannon your a godsend. Thanks to your channel I've save thousands of dollars. You speak simply which exactly what I need. I was born feet first so I'm a little slow. Thanks man!! Keep these videos coming. My wife has a honeydo list as long as my arm.
This is the 5th or 6th video I've seen Shannon share showing do it yourselfers like me complete the job quickly and efficiently! Thank you Shannon, youve save me multiple times
I'm about to save myself $2,000 and do this shit myself. Thanks for the information.
+06jj28 Just remember that the next time the siding guys give you a $5,000 quote to do your house. I did 3 sides of my house for less than $1,500 last year. I know a man's gotta make a living but $3500 for 2 guys for 2 days is a little much.
+Altair Ibn-La Ahad Yes it is much cheaper to do it yourself if you can, but not all people can or have houses that are easy to do. In hiring any contractor you need to get at least 3 estimates from reliable contractors that have multiple references. It is also important to check on the contractor with your states builders board to see if he is licensed and if he has any claims against him/her.
Altair Ibn-La Ahad there are a lot more expenses to running a legitimate business than a simple wage. payroll taxes, equipment maintenance, licensing fees, WCB, Professional Associations, on going certifications regarding safety etc. Not to mention there can be warranty costs, and no pension/benefits of any kind for the contractor. Also, installing the siding is only half of it at best. proper installation of the envelope (homewrap, dripcaps, and flashing of all types). i have seen so many jobs with improper moisture management issues. there is a huge difference between do it yourself/handyman work and a professional job.
Give me a call when you screw your homes up . Next you guys will start making your own bass boats to fish out of 😁 .
2000 that's all!
A real guy with true talent in his way of teaching. I will save this video for my future project. Thanks and God bless you.
WHAT A GREAT TEACHER , SERIOUSLY ...THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL ADVICE. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE SIDING AT MY HOME IN THE BOSTON AREA. THIS IS WHAT BRINGS ME TO YOUR VIDEO. AFTER WATCHING A FEW OTHERS BEFORE YOURS IN MY OPINION, YOU ARE BY FAR THE BEST. YOU EXPLAIN IT ALL AND YOU JUST TO ME SEEM LIKE YOU KNOW IT ALL SO, AGAIN THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE...
ALL THE BEST,
MICHAEL
+Michael Cunha Thanks Michael, we strive to provide the most indepth videos that we can. Did you see our second vinyl siding video? It deals with siding gable ends. ruclips.net/video/_R2TLGR3usE/видео.html If you did not already please click the "subscribe" and "thumbs up" buttons we would love to keep providing you with free helpful DIY project advise.
Thank you...contractor wanted a $1,000 plus materials to replce siding on back of kitchen wall(10×16).after watching video,i bought materials and tools ($240),and did the job myself. Learned something new and saved my self $900.thank you shannon. I find your videos really enjoyable and educational. U are a true craftsman and attention to detail shows. Greatly appreciated..
Glad you saved some cash by DIYing it yourself
You make the best how-to videos, keep it up!
I agree man
Hes.a really good teacher
And has a way with words
I agree this guy is absolutely amazing! I’ve built my siding business off his teachings!
I 1st watched this video several years ago and have since done the vinyl siding on 3 houses, 2 of them my own and one for a friend. excellent video. great skills that have served me well
That is awesome!
Shannon - Thanks for this and all your great DIY videos. You are practical and professional. Now I'm gonna get started siding my house!
I've learned over the years. Any home improvement project... Go straight to Shannon! You'll save yourself
Countless hours of surfing "how to's", and a ton of money! Thanks Shannon you're the best!
Thanks Sandra!
Dude, I think you're about the best diy teacher on yt...good job, thanks!
Thanks Mike
I just finished the vinyl on one side of my house and very happy with the results so far and you helped alot!
good work
good work
Hi. I'm back to listen to more of your exceptional teaching. I'm watching you from southern California.
Hi, Shannon... thanks for taking the time to make this VERY informative video, you are very informative and knowledgeable.
You cover wide range of home repairing tips ! I enjoy them all very much!
Very detailed how to, one of the best I have seen - thanks for sharing
Wow! I just watched this as most people on here want to attempt to do this on my own due to financial reasons. Great video and super easy to follow. Thank you good sir!
Actually I guess I missed mentioning that, you would add a J channel sitting on top of the drip cap.
Thanks I was trying to place where you put the j channel with the drip cap. Joe
I want to thank "you tube" for the how to videos, & I want to thank the people who take the time to make them. They were very helpful & I feel more confident about doing what ever I need to do after watching a video on the project I'm doing
I liked your video I didn’t see how you waterproofed the TYPAR vapor barrier/house-wrap to the weather-strip you sealed under the window? On the west coast if we don’t tape the house wrap to; the weather-strip that’s sealed under the window or to the window itself, the installation WILL LEAK. I like to install a plywood blade and my saw backwards which gives me a smooth cut and eliminates possible chipping
I like this guy, not only does he show you the correct way to do something but he explains certain details that are important. Great video thank you! I'll repeat Travis's comment and add thank you for your excellent instruction. Dave in Canada.
Great video! Almost makes me feel like I could do this.
I'm going to school for electrical engineering but RUclips videos like this make me want to go back into the construction trades. Great video and thanks
Micah Houghton Generally speaking in most regular cases where the home is sitting on a foundation ,I place the starter strip so that the bottom edge is just maybe 1/2" below the wood plate of the walls. Seal the joint between the wood plate and the foundation first with a good quality exterior caulking. Please use my forum if you have future questions. www.house-improvements.com/forums/
realemonful I figure he misses a lot of steps given it is a short video to give the viewer a basic Idea. If the step is important Im sure a person will figure it out in about 10 sq ft or so lol. Any trade will take more than one video to really learn. But, thanks for the heads up anyway.
Thanks for the video your a lifesaver!
glad to help
Shannon, you're the man! I own a residential remodeling business and I am by no means on your level. I strive to do everything at the upmost professional level but I'm young in my skills and enjoy your videos for motivation and educational benefits! Thank you and please keep the post coming!
Ron D.
You may enjoy my forum and website as well. www.house-improvements.com
just realized how crappie of a job the guy did that installed my siding... thanks for the Video!
Same here.
most siding installers are terrible...
Walmart
one of the best channel on RUclips for homeowners who do home projects and are looking for solutions.. many thanks!!
"Hi, I'm Dave Turin from Gold Rush, today we're going to learn how to install vinyl siding."
+Charles Jones There is a resemblance , I must admit.
He's the better twin brother of Dave. Gold Rush dave is a D**k.
The point you bring up about two people nailing on the same job is an important one. Me and another guy I work with every day nail siding differently and continually have to watch our corners to make sure we are still lined up. It’s VERY easy to get off to where it’s visible to the eye
I do various forms of home improvements myself and from what I see hes good,however,he should explainthay when using a saw that i turn the blade around,or it will chip the panel your cutting u can also cut metal that way.he also hasn't shown how to do soffit. I know how but he should show that...not good..c mon dude.
He has a video on soffit and fascia as well. It's about 14 minutes long and very informative.
This guy is knows about home improvement, he don't have to share his knowledge but he does, thanks for the help
Thanks Cliff
170 people cant follow directions nice vid though thanks
I know this is 9 years old but I appreciate you making this video. As someone with many home projects and little budget to hire professionals I’m doing the best I can with google and RUclips and it’s turning out ok.
The “overlapping joint tip” was well worth watching the entire video! Makes it look like a pro job for sure. Great video.
thank you. your descriptions are accurate and easy to understand and you have a very clear voice (why people with thick southern drawls even attempt how-to videos boggles my mind.. i generally cant understand a single thing they say), well done!
We can't understand what y'all say from up in Canada or in some of the northern parts of the US either. It's a two way street my friend so don't start on people from the south! You might be able to understand this guy but I had to go back to understand some of the things he said. He did a great presentation but I couldn't understand him completely.
Jeff Wilson heres the thing.. we speak proper english. if you cant understand it then you need to adapt (we won the war after all). i can easily understand people from most parts of this country, from maine to washington the only part of this country i cant understand people in is the south (and east of the mississippi). i dont want to bring up education levels since they are all in decline, but "y'all" need to learn to speak PROPERLY.
You do good tutorial videos. You speak clearly, explain well, and your camerman gets the shots properly...which is all god sent considering the crap people post just to show off.
Shannon is the best RUclips video maker. He can me a great instructor for students! I will not do the wall job in my life. But morning wake up i have watched his video for more than 24 minutes. His video is better than holywood movie!
Last year I spent almost $5000 to have a two-story 24x24 building behind my house covered with vinyl siding. After watching your video I tore part of the front of my house off, installed a wider door and double-pane window, and then used the leftover vinyl product to do a beautiful job that perfectly matches my rear building. You really make things easy to understand, and cover all bases very well. Keep up the great work, I have a lot more home improvement to do!
Thanks John, glad it worked out well.
I've been doing construction full time for 18 yrs since I graduated when I was a junior. I wish I worked with this guy. I'm a master carpenter and multi skilled tradesman, every video I've seen by Shannon is spot on. You'll learn a lot the right way from this guy, he cuts no corners. Subtract 3/8" in the winter because it'll expand in the heat: subtract 1/4" in the summer because it'll shrink in the winter. 1/4" up and down for clearance is fine all year around, it moves mostly over the length of the piece, less over the height. Keep your nails to the top of the slots, leave your nails a nickel or a dime from the siding for movement, too much and the wind will push the vinyl into the nail and stamp the heads into the piece, visible through the face. Popping tabs up through the face are nicer than silicone if you ever have to pull a piece, also silicone only holds you at the bottom, not at the cut top of the piece at the accessory trim, whether at the sill below a window or the final row at the top, if you want you can also use undersill/accessory trim in the J-channel at the bottom if the bottom cut-off in an elevation difference if the cut-off will make the top row. Every manufacturer is different, some say 3/4" into the stud, some say 1 1/2" nails minimum, so with 1/2" sheathing they go into the stud 1." The. 2" if you're going over existing wood siding, add for thickness of any foam installed additionally over sheathing to length of nail. Also keep your nails up to the top of the slots
I love his attention to detail. Also the fact that he gives you examples of other ways to doing it.
He is the best if you want it to go right. Shows everything needed. ..Thank you!!!
Shannon thanks so much for your video's I have just bought a 60 year old house that needs some TLC, and I am learning so much. I will post a small video when I am done with the siding, and walls built.
Honestly, this is immensely informative. I'm going back to school for 2nd year carpentry soon and these videos are so many steps above what I learn on the job. Thank Shannon.
School can be overrated sometimes you just got to get your hands dirty. Its good to have basic common sense and fine measuring skills though.
THANK YOU. I've never done siding before. Simply after watching your videos, my house (albeit slow because it's been hot) is starting to look new. Piece by piece.
Thanks for showing us how to finish the top edge, unlike every other video i've looked at
Very Informative, This old guy learned a few things. You took your time and gave clear instructions, I appreciate that,, Thank You!
It is very easy to listen to you.Like the other guy said, it makes you see what a crappie job other "professionals" did.
Been in construction for 20 + years.. glad to see you talk about nailing into studs only. Biggest mistake i see people make.
Brother you are good in everything you do.
Peace and blessings from North Africa
He did a GREAT job of showing and explaining how to do each area, as well as explaining why. I'm ready to tackle my siding. Thank you!
Perfect, my next project is repairing the siding on my new-to-me home. You explained it plain enough I feel confident going into this project next week! Thank you!
we have many more siding related videos as well as many other topics on my You Tube channel.ruclips.net/user/HouseImprovementsfeatured?view_as=public
Thanks.
A humble teacher. No show off.
He's very knowledgeable of this. I feel very confident about doing any siding project.
I really like how detailed Shannon is. Makes it easier for dummies like me lol.
I’m about to side my house so I’ve watched this video closely.
Thanks for your help.
We have a whole play list of vinyl siding videos on my channel, check them out.
Excellent teaching for me. I had asked a couple of siding companies for estimates on a small project at my house (adding siding onto a porch converted to a bathroom) and they said the job was too small for them to tackle. So, with no other options, I'm doing it myself and this video gives me great advice and instruction on how to do it. Thank you, man!
Here is my entire vinyl siding playlist. Lots of good stuff in here:ruclips.net/p/PLh0KqGKtX4oUz8fyeFsZYo6Np41NoreOQ
I followed all 5 videos, with your tricks and my experience and vision I’m changing trades now, thank you.
Thank you Shannon, great helpful video 👍. I hope you and your family are doing great, and staying healthy and safe.
Excellent demonstration. Any questions that came into my mind got answered almost as quickly as I thought of them.
Outstanding video Shannon. We had no idea how to put siding on and wanted to put vinyl skirting around the wraparound porch at our house. Just finished the project and it looks great. Thanks so much for this video. Watched it many times through each step of the process! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video.
Thank you,glad your DIY project turned out well.
