Good stuff. I like this video.
I was wondering.....Did you by chance paint your ends of the new board prior to installation? Also why is the board laying directly on the drip edge?
Very professional, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thank you!
Would it be a good idea to countersink the nails slightly and then seal it? I also agree that sealing the ends of the board would be a good idea.
Unlike a cedar board, where you can buy it primed on all sides, that is not the case with this type of masonite siding material. The back is not primed/sealed. My concern would be that moisture could become trapped if you sealed the cut ends of the boards.
Can fiber cement be removed this same way? I need to remove some broke strips around the bottom of my house. Also, mine has no drip edge. And no flashing behind the joints. But there is homewrap.
I have not done it on Fiber cement board, however I don't see why you can't. It is just a matter of going gently and slowly when loosening up the nails.
I just did this with James Hardie fiberboard siding. Same problem: No drip edge, no flashing, no sealant... really crummy construction. One thing I would recommend is to not put the siding so close to the drip edge. I would leave a quarter inch gap between the bottom piece of siding and the drip edge. You'll also want to use something like OSI's QuadMax sealant for the ends, corners, and any other joints. Do not use caulk! It is not the same thing as a sealant. Good luck!
*edit* lol this was a year ago that I'm replying to. Anyway, hope it went well!
The location of your the cord on your chop saw was making me nervous. Why not route it toward the back of the saw. Can I use screws instead of nails? Do you caulk the nail heads?
No use nails and don't calk them. Moisture could get trapped under the nail heads and cause the masonite board to swell.
what is the name of the type of saw you used after removing the nails with the hammer and pry bar at the beginning?
That's a reciprocating saw. It's almost always called a sawzall because SAWZALL is a brand of reciprocating saw manufactured by Milwaukee Tools.
A Sawzall / reciprocating saw.
Do you caulk the end of clapboards?
Some do some don't. You should however, seal the ends before installing.
Can you replace wood siding in a small area with Masonite siding in that small area
Yes, not an issue doing so. It just may look a little different in regards to texture of the siding surface.
