Hi Jeff, I remember you explaining about how your suppose to install the screws in the siding deep enough but not tight so the siding can move. ON my parents house I was outside cleaning the grass placed my hand on the siding to support myself and the screw poked a hole in the siding, I'm guessing because they didn't drive the screw in deep enough. What as a home owner can my Mom do about that? She paid 10,000$ for the siding install.
Jeff, what would you recommend...I am replacing my cedar siding and trying to decide between Hardie Board or steel cedar siding? I am in South Georgia and its gets hot.
I feel blessed with my almost 100 years old brick house.
Loved the video, as always learned something and the vertical siding is a good idear. The windows are long vertical lines, so not an eyesore.
Now, lets prime that sucker!!
It is extremely interesting getting to see Jeff work through the silliness of American retail and rigmarole. As a Californian DIYer watching other people from say Canada and elsewhere, tools and solutions are rarely one to one. Enjoying the new series

I would make a pvc trim around windows but all depends on customer if he wants to spend extra, but your idea is great for budget
I am learning so much about the siding project. Jeff, you make it look so easy.
Greetings from Bristol, Wisconsin!!!
Hello from Kenosha!!!!
Two things that would drive my OCD crazy: The J-channel not being the same size and the screws holding the top pieces in place.
Great as always Jeff! I'll write a long letter of thanks at some point in the future. Teaching me how to "cut" alone has saved me hours upon hours of time. You are the best... oh yah, I'm also indebted to you for cluing me into the Paint deck for selecting colors. Why is this not common knowledge, I'll never know.
Bummer if I’m late, love the platform. I have an older one that needs plywood replaced.needs to be close to perfect is so true. I understand it now that I’m getting closer to 70!
Jeff, I have learned a lot from your videos. I'm sure to learn that you make some.
Sadly I'm unable to participate in working on some of the projects like you do because I'm rather ill but keep up the good work. And Be well period period
you are the most considerate tutor.
Not sure but believe that insulation was for sound not thermal. Windy days vinyl against foam versus vinyl against metal. As you say it's not screwed down tight. Love all you videos by the way.
foam looks like it is there just to prevent rattling against the metal
Nice work as always
Nostalgia, awesomeness and epic
Replacing twenty panels due to hail damage. What timing!! Thank you my man
Hi Jeff, I’m new to your channel. I’m glad I found you because you are so clear and honest. Can I tile over kitchen backsplash tile following your video on tile over tile in bathroom? Thank you for the hard work.
Wonder if the insulation is really to prevent vibration against the corrugated metal.
That's what I was thinking, just for acoustics. If they screw kind of snug where the foam is, the vinyl won't make squeaks on a windy day or whistle a tune through the corrugated metal while still being expandable.
Great job. Looking forward to the next process. Have a blessed and productive evening.
I install vynil siding for a living, and the proper installation in between the windows we would have removed the J channel that’s below the windows and cut small pieces to fit in between the windows, that way it hooks everything together.
GREAT JOB
It’s possible they used the insulation to level the surface. You don’t want your siding waving at you. Also, in my state at least, you want aluminum drip cap over top of the windows. But that’s my state. Also, you can spread out an outside corner, the butt your J channel next to it on those pop out corners. If the outside corners pieces aren’t wide enough, we would typically drop small pieces in and make sure they lined up at the top. Silicone is a widely accepted method of securing top laps. The screws would drive me nuts if I had to look at them every day. I did new construction and remodels for ten + years, so I do have an idea what I’m saying. Love your videos though, and keep up the good work!
Jeff probably knows a lot about Wasps😂
Not so sure. I got my spray product at the time the last wasps got him . I got good industrial grade insecticide
@JON Gergeceff get a can of either that kills 🐝 bee's instantly. Best bee killer you'll buy.
PS you are amazing. I sure wish we could do the work that you could do you create works of art
I encourage you to patent a better J trim system for inside and outside corners 🤞🏼
Thanks
My brother started calling you the sheet rock god now that's what my whole family calls you lol😎
Bless you.
UGH! got a motion sickness wave as the head cam kicked in! whoa, thank goodness it wasn't all filmed that way... Great progress on fixing things, was surprised you didn't remove the flimsy flat stuff you wrote on. Looking forward to next weeks, or watching the video of the live if possible. So glad you have your helpers around!
Great Video Tom. I have a question. When replacing siding on one side of the house, do you have to replace the tyvek/ house wrap because of holes from the nails in the existing tyvek?
5:40 this is gold and deserves a Short
What siding material/style is the cheapest? Is traditional stucco more expensive compared to newer alternatives?
Isn't that vertical J-trim you screwed tight to the wall be able to float in the "Hanging" no screwing of the trim?
Where in S Florida are you doing this project? I'm in Fort Myers. Love all your great knowledge
Thanks for sharing this. I recently bought a mobile home with this siding and it needs repair. One question along those lines, what do you recommend for the skirting around the bottom of a mobile home? I have the siding material skirt now and it constantly breaks and needs to be fixed.
make sure it breathes. air flow is imorptant in crawl spaceds.
Can you show us how to replace those horrible outdated shutters and put new trim on?
I can’t tell if there is unfaded siding underneath or if I need to color-match the siding. I’m also wondering how big of a job it is?
Great job.....how do you know all that stuff? So interesting and a perfect looking job. The vertical between the windows looks like part of the window frame....nice look.
practice
Great info. So where in Florida are you if needed? Thanks!
Any chance that "insulation" was more for vibration/sound dampening, like the rubber pads on the outside of kitchen sinks?
I wondered the same thing. Vinyl rattling against corrugated sheeting might be annoying.
useless for sound if not complete on the surface.
It would act as a baffle between the two hollow materials going against each other!
Question for you, Jeff. If you took the time to tucktape where you joined the Home Depot version of Tyvek, why not run additional pieces where your J trim screws pass through? Does this effect the water/vapor seal?
I have learned something today
The foam was probably there just to prevent rattling from the siding in the wind
To my favorite youtube daddy; that's gonna help me a lot ! Thx again!
Cheers!
It's going to help you do a hack job. Don't follow these tips! If you want to learn properly go watch on CZcams @sidingschool
Wish my parents (and contractor) would have known possible to paint vinyl siding. Their siding was redwood color that changed to PURPLE in sun. Contractor removed and replaced with a thinner off white. They were very disappointed in quality of replacement.
sooo i wana do tiered raised beds on a 30-40degree slope over about 5 ft and I want a walking space inbetween the beds (beds only like a 1.4' wide) but the issue i am having with planning is the level space to walk inbetween the beds. any suggestions?
Ever use a product called Everlast? Would love to read or hear your thoughts on it.
Could you not have run those last 2 sections horizontally to match the other sections?
Di you clean vinyl siding with.pool shock?
What wheel on the grinder to cut vinyl?
What size/kind of screw did you use to properly secure the last piece of siding and not the silicone?
Best to use roofing nails and make sure you don't nail all the wat tight you ant to leave room for movement
For the people complaining about the vertically installed siding between the windows at the end, check the video of when the old windows were replaced and you'll see virtually the same type of work was done.
I also have a nicer manufactured home 2wide on a crawl.
I’m looking into putting up some REAL structural zip sheathing and taping the seams and then using some left over tyvek for over kill.
It’s hard to find a video of anyone else doing this on these types of home. But for some reason it bugs me every night I lay my head down and think. “I have foam board for sheathing under my siding….”
I can wait to tackle it and beef this 98 manufactured home up. I already have all new remodeled windows in
What about vinyl siding seam separation?
34:13 Bless you!
Absolutely true about the physical solutions versus chemistry solutions for the most part but there are some instances where a chemical solution if done right can last well beyond the life of a product. If you know your siding is going to be replaced 30 years from now there are some chemical solutions some, especially today with modern technology that can last 50 years if done right. If you want proof that it chemical solution can last a long time look at plastic. Some of it can be biodegradable but one of the worlds biggest problem is plastic isn’t biodegradable. Food for thought.
This makes me never want to touch a house with vinyl siding 😬😬
Far from perfect on the right side over the door. why didn't the siding get cut to fit all the into the J-trim?
Right at the start you were explaining not to do things 95% because that 5% is what will bite you.
That insulation job is half assed at 50% at best.
I would argue that an honest attempt at 100% with some accidental shortcomings which end you up at 95% is good enough.
I redid a place that had adhesive holding the top couple rows in. Never seen that before, hope to never see it again.
Have an expression for ya. “What you do in the dark eventually comes into light” ha ha
I didn’t think you can put vinyl siding over the old aluminum siding?
You and Mike Holmes must be besties ;)
I didn't know you could paint vinyl siding. I thought it would warp like crazy.
@@dtm8073 I'm pretty sure that's what i said
Have to get the right kind of paint and it has to be a light color
I’ve seen even the light color go wrong because it changes the expansion characteristics of the vinyl. Sometimes it works and lasts but you almost have to stick with the same color then it’s still a gamble
I just realized after having an ant problem that my bottom of my siding between the foundation and the siding is not having any kind of barrier. The Styrofoam and the plywood are literally exposed. It is not bad in terms of moisture, but for god sake, the critters are getting in because caulking or proper insulation is not done properly.
👍👍
All you need is that drill driver for removing a siding nails
My contractor stapled my Tyvek on with a lot of staples. Is that a problem?
not for the short term. plastic rings are for the long term if you can't close right away!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY plastic rings? Siding was done 9 years ago. What kind of problems should i look out for since the Tyvek was stapled on, not nailed on?
@@TheAxecutioner Thanks!
What did I miss?
Two different color siding?
You living in Florida now!?
Amazon has that same scaffolding for 150 delivered 😂
Has it ever occurred to your mind that original outside wall is tin? The shit won’t rot 😂 an they siliconed it in hopes to kee the wasps out
my thought is to use pvc boad but probably wrong
Don't think that insulation board was for thermals , more likely it was for sound , so the siding doesn't rattle against the metal behind it
Surprised you lined up the siding. I'll bet they are off at least 3/4 inch from left to right on the outside of the windows.
How long does vinyl lasts
100 years plus!
There is an old saying, " Vinyl is Final "
05:20 !!!
In Europe we also occasionally use siding but ours are way way way better made. Im amazed how thin and flimsy the material he used is. Really why even bother using it when the sun light will burn it in not more than 2 years
I'm not sure what you mean by sunlight burning it? Homes in north America have vinyl siding last decades. You might get some fading if that's what you mean, but it can be painted. Basically the only thing that damages it is impact damage (hail for example if it's driven sideways by wind). I would love to do something sturdier for my home but the vinyl siding is still in good shape.
Around me they do a lot of hardi and smart board and they are all falling apart where there is high surface moisture and corners and since one neighbor sees the older house that inspired him to switch they paint and still happens. I wonder how much true testing they did. Lots of money and the old vinyl looks better after a few years
Does it seem like a lot of confusion between level and plumb or am I just stupid?
Yo te digo .eres chingon.I LIKE All your videos
Your J trim is supposed to be able to expand and contract too.
Man I seriously hate vinyl siding. But I can understand it's appeal. Which is probably mostly cost.
it is also very valuable performance wise.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY um I'm not sure what that would be. Shedding water? My experience revolves around trying to fix damage. Renter put a hole in one panel once and it took me a long time to find a shop that could color match, sorta. The texture match was impossible. There still exists fading from the sun that makes matching impossible and the corners are busted at the bottom to various degrees. Probably from hoses and sprinklers being dragged around.
I never understand those arhitect drawing unnecessary angles on wall🤦. Keep it straight and simple. Lot less mess, waste, time, tools...
Mud dabbers.... no worries
I see no rotten spots under that siding
So what you're saying is 2 levels equal one plumb line
J trim Level? You mean plumb?
Why aren't you crimping the top pieces and slotting them into an undersill trim? Those screws are rather fugly.
but they work and save money. on this type of build every dollar counts.
You know you could of showed us the screws you are using . 😋
There had to have been a better way for the siding between the windows at the end. Like literally anything. No hate but that just screwed the entire video.
if you have a better idea then say so. I am open to one!
I didn't mind it as a quick fix solution. Solid soffit would've worked as well. I know 1 inch thick pvc boards are super expensive, but maybe they could've been trimmed out with a few of the cheaper pvc baseboards.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY will the siding not bend that 22.5 if you cut a small relief cut in the top of each piece and still get them to click together? I would try that first with some scrap pieces to see if it'll bend that much. or even sitting it out in the florida sun or a heat gun may allow it to bend enough so it is one solid piece that wraps around the apex in the middle.
I wasted 3 hours on a job last week just cos I didn't have a $7 siding removal tool.
Love the channel but this is some questionable work. Haha. Getting it done on the cheap is obviously the priority.
getting it done on the cheap is more common than best practices.
thought integrity = best practices
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I'm just busting you chops. I'm a contractor in NJ. Love your content!! Keep it going!!!
FLARDA ye say? Did ya move there bud? Can't say I blame ya...
Quad is not a water based sealant
What a joker. Look at how wavy the install is. I wouldn't put my name on this install.
You know when you cut something from 5" away we can't see what you are doing . luckily I have put siding on before but someone trying to learn you aren't helping . 😊 And it's getting a little dark and that's not helping either . 😊
Who has money for home depot? Clearance walmart all the way
Major gaps at the bottom of the windows.. messy
Nobody explains how to replace damaged J channel. Nobody
That was not cut exact it was too tight
id get the most deadly poisonous gas spray i could find, DDT whatever and id be genocidal on them bugs.. and have been.. SFMF
