  • Installing vinyl siding is really easy. Just always make sure you leave room for expansion otherwise your siding will buckle and pop.
    Here is a website of mine. I've made a list of some tools you may like.

    looks real good. my brother did this on his new 2400 sq ft home and nailed them down too tight. in summer all the siding warped/bubbled had to torn down and start over new again. most of the bulges were tractor tire size. the concern was here in the midwest 80mph straight line winds peel vinyl off many homes

    Great video, Dominick! I've been working up the courage to do this myself for a couple of years. I think I'm going to try it! I need a little more coaching for going around windows - and doing an inside corner (but I assume the corner piece works about the same as an outside corner. Also, need more coaching on making it fit at the top, at the eaves.
    But, great video. Love you style. I'll look for more videos by you!.

  • @Carpenters_Canvas
    @Carpenters_Canvas 5 лет назад +4

    Ok so after watching your video for a while . .. all due respect sir , but that is not the proper way to install vinyl siding . You missed the most important part , using house wrap and tape . If this is how you did the entire job your going to have major water damage down the road . I’m interested to hear your excuse for not wrapping the house . I’m just being honest . Look at any vinyl siding instructional video from all of the manufacturers. I’m pretty sure you just voided the warranty on this siding . Look it up and if you can find any link or anything that says you don’t have to use house wrap before installing ANY type of siding I’ll gladly post another comment saying that I’m completely wrong and apologize. Come on bro , you did such a good job explaining everything else

    Any comments on aluminum vs vinyl? I've got aluminum, and I expect vinyl is less prone to denting....
    In the NE where it gets down to 0 -10'f, and expect to be putting it on when its about 80'

      @sundown798 4 года назад

      Hey man yes notch the corner post into the eve! I just use a angle finder to bring it to the post. I used a scrap piece of corner post just to check it or adjust. Then used the scap as a template for the left and right sides as they were the same roof pitch (on my house anyways) for the rest of the job your house might be different. It's a pain in the ass but in the end looks natural as if it was a pine corner post and also leave a gap 1/4" all around between the soffit and the facia board for expansion.

    Good Stuff- Now here's my dilemma: the Front of my house has T-1-11 The sides have Vinyl siding, on the Corners it looks like its just a J channel that stops right on the corners , If I want to finish the Front with siding to match the rest of the house, what would I need to do on the corners, I can't just put a Corner Post on, It would work for the front, but it wouldn't work for the other side- again the siding is all ready on the sides, Finished) Would I have to take off all the siding on the sides ( 1st piece) and then put my corner on and then slip the removed pieces back on?? Thx

    I have what I believe is a good question,
    I am house wrapping over t 1-11 to install vinyl siding. How do I run the siding up to original trim around doors and windows ? Do I have to remove and replace the trim because of the extra thickness or do I just put it up with the vinyl end trim against the molding or trim? I am a self learner and can tell a good person to get info from easily. So I’m asking you. Please help me understand as I don’t have any family for help. I have replaced all my windows with appropriate flashing and caps (that I made out of coil stock) above all windows and really just need the right info. Thank you for your time, I am not the person that asks 100 different people and then tells everyone how so and so said your wrong. I have been a heavy diesel and gear train tech my whole life and hate when people ask me how to do something, just for them to window shop with every Tom, harry, or DICK just to feel better about themselves and they just F it up anyway.

I thought there had to be something but I also wasn’t sure if the thickness of the siding will mess up not having enough trim protrusion. But with j channel it wouldn’t matter if it was flush or molding still stuck out 1/4”. When I get back home at the end of the week if I feel you didn’t just set me in a straight line with confidence, I will gladly snap a pic and send.

    Animal abuse is not funny. Other than that it was an okay video. Entertaining but not very informative, better luck next time bro.

      He wasn't referencing abuse. He was talking about pest control. He didn't say he was going to beat the dog, just put it out of it's misery, very humane.

    Love your style. I would work for you, most are so up tight you want to nail them under the siding.

    How did you side over the 5/8 over lap on the gable end?

    • @Askmediy
      @Askmediy  4 года назад +1

      First off sorry for the delay. For some reason I'm not getting emails on comments. In my case I just sided right over it. Up and over. I was just looking to get this covered up and sold. Not the greatest way for sure. However you couldn't really tell. It's going to really depend on where the nailer falls. Too close, and that wouldn't be good.

    I am sorry but there really needs to be a regulation/ building code that is followed before any siding job is done. Every township/city should have an inspector who signs off on every step of the way with sanctions from the siding institute. There are too many contractors who follow shoddy practices because they don't care. The consumer/homeowner is pretty much defenseless when it comes to siding jobs. Some of the worst examples come from the largest companies! I was about to sign off on a job for over $25k without any detailed written descriptions of the practices that should be followed. Its pretty bad when you have to follow the installer around the house to make sure he does his job correctly! That is IF you know what's supposed to be done correctly? Most homeowners do not and each manufacturer has their own set of procedures.

    you need a vapor barrier or you void any warranty...the walls will mold from the sweat. tyvex and tyvek taped seams works good.

      matanuska high I said the same thing , this is a shit job done in my opinion , the fact he neglected to use house wrap just goes to show . People are ignorant . I wonder if he even added drip cap to the windows . And yes it voided the warrantee , I want to like this guy but that messed it up for me

    Thanks for the video. I’m going to be putting vinyl siding over t1-11 this year. Can you tell us what you did about the overlap of t1-11 higher up on the wall? Did you pull it off to maintain a flat surface? Do you recommend cutting out any rotted t1-11 and replacing it with OSB? Thanks again 👍

    • @Askmediy
      @Askmediy  5 лет назад +1

      Always my pleasure. Yes always cut out and replace any rotted wood. Funny you ask about that overlap. This was my house that I was just doing a quick flip. Believe it or not, I went right over it. Depends on how you look at it if you can see it or not. I mean not really the way to go about it for sure. Removing it would be a lot of work. Normally I fur out up to it with 1/2" furring strips. But not always the best choice because of windows and doors. You could side up to it, install some flashing and start again over lapping it. Not a very thing to explain

    • @markowsiak3049
      @markowsiak3049 5 лет назад

      askmediy thanks for the response. Yeah I was thinking of removing it or transitioning to another style of siding (vertical or artificial cedar planks) at that point with a white horizontal trim piece. It sounds like there might be some starter strips and accessories that help with that? It also sounds like trying to soften the edge and continuing on might work well too

      If you show how to install vinyl siding, putting vapor is a must. Vapor barrier is actual thing that keeps away leaks. Siding itself is more cosmetical

    • @johnranalli331
      @johnranalli331 6 лет назад +2

      I love how idiots get on here to troll. Vapor barrier is not a necessity. I hardly ever used it. Not needed for warranty and certainly not needed for leaks !!!

    Where do you nail the starter strip in? Do you have it so it's hanging down below the sill plate?

    • @Askmediy
      @Askmediy  6 лет назад +2

      Yes, it will always hang lower than the sill plate.

    I have the same exact wood siding that's old and ugly. I know its a dumb question, but is it really ok to put siding over the old stuff? Is there any situation when its not a good idea? Thanks for the great how to vid.

    • @Askmediy
      @Askmediy  4 года назад

      First off sorry for the delay. For some reason I'm not getting emails on comments. You see in this house the T-111 siding is also the sheeting. With only a vapor barrier under that. If the wood siding it rotted I would replace it before anything.
