Just what I needed guys! I'm getting my 30 year old Colorlok siding ready for Rhino Shield ceramic coating next Spring. 90+ % of it is in good shape but just chalky and tired looking. The rest has some water swelling damage, and needs replacing with what was left over when I built the house. Once done and Rhino-ed, I'm good for another 25 years! Thanks again.
Thank you. This is a lifesaver when I was figuring I was looking down the barrel of a potential residing job since the old boards aren't sold. Didn't realize LP had a non-textured 12" version because my initial search of the big box stores didn't turn anything up, but looks like the local lumber yards might be able to source the 12" smooth boards. Much more cost effective to replace a few bad boards, repaint, and extend the life of the existing siding, especially on rental properties. Great vid!
That's a wonderful repair. I've done this before myself, and had forgotten how I did it. Your video makes a great refresher. Thank you for making this video.
You did a good job improving the looks. This is exactly what I am starting to work on with my house and wasn't quite sure what to do till I watched your video. You did a perfect job explaining it..Thank you!
I am too but I was prying out on the board above the one I’m replacing but it’s trying to pull the nails through. I’m going to have to try another method because it’s not working.
Damn good video! I thought replacing the rotted pieces of my old Masonite siding was "Rocket Science" and it turns out it was reasonably simple, and, I even have the pry bar! Thanks so much for the video, you saved me a TON of money!
Glad I found this video. The area I need to replace someone installed the planks with nails on the bottom through to other pieces below. Hoping I can get them all fixed on my own without damaging good planks above..
I just did just that with James hardie siding, which looks similar in appearance but is even more brittle when replacing the boards. What I found works best is to use the board below for leverage, to pry and loosen the board above. Be very careful, then you can use the same method for prying it away that they used on this video. Don’t pry against the bottom edge of the board you are trying to save. Instead once you have the board below it removed use a oscillating tool with a metal cutting blade to flush cut the nails. Use a razor blade to cut around the nails on the face to release any paint or caulk and then pry the cut nail from the backside pushing it out of the hole. This will leave you a caulkable hole when installing your new boards. Hope this helps if you haven’t done your project yet
Decent results? Really David? Im hurt. That was a lot of work and turned out pretty good if I say so myself. A great way to improve the look and extend the life of your hardboard siding. Nice video!
Easy method for removing the board. I have pried the board above so as to pry the nail. You pull the board then get the nail aftrward. Thank you for the tip. ........P. S..........Watching from New Hampshire...subscribed and best of luck.
Nice vid. I’ll be doing this to my house soon. Won’t pull a permit since it’s just a repair. My Menards only has the textured stuff so I’ll be calling around. You guys (and others) should start wear safety glasses when pounding two hammers together. I’ve seen shards of steel fly when striking tools together.
I'm getting ready to tackle this on the north side of my house. My question is about the face nails. You don't have to caulk or anything around them to make sure water doesn't get inside? By the way, great video. Easy to understand and to the point, thanks for sharing.
What did you end up using for the corner pieces? Did your local building store or lumberyard have those metal corner transitions? Super helpful video thanks for sharing.
Hi, thanks for the video! What type of replacement siding are you using here? I have to re-side one exterior wall and then also replace some sections on my home. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you. GOOD VIDEO, AND VERY HELPFUL... where can I find the transition strips. I was looking for at home depot, but I couldn't find it. What is the correct name of this little pieces.
I wasn't involved in picking up the parts but I think they came from the regional big box Menard's in our area. Someone should carry them in your area.
I've heard they can be hard to find. We found them stocked at the Midwest big box Menard's, but I'm hearing that Lowe's and Home Depot often don't carry them. Perhaps they can order. One viewer had them ordered through his local lumber yard. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
"Pressboard siding, also called synthetic wood siding, or hardboard (not to be confused with HardiePlank®) siding, is mainly comprised of wood fibers, flakes or chips that are held together by glues and resins. "
Thank you I've looked here st our local store but without luck. What is the product exactly called. Masonite board? You did a great job. I have about 10 to 15 boards to do.
It may have its uses, such as getting a house ready for sale when you don't want to re-side the whole thing, leaving that decision up to the new owners.
@@TheOriginalMechanic Yes, that makes complete sense to me, good point. I just hate that stuff. If you must use it remember to use those spiral nails so it wont sag and do not counter sink.
DO NOt Do THIs. Hitting two hammers together will shatter the metal…I have a piece in my bone in thumb and my grandfathers brother lost his eye the same way. Both are hardened steal

I appreciate the safety advice!
I’d love to see how to skim blend new paint across the drop when paint pulls off some of the paper coating.
Can you explain what the transition strips do? Do you need them? Thank you.
I'm getting ready to tackle this on the north side of my house. My question is about the face nails. You don't have to caulk or anything around them to make sure water doesn't get inside? By the way, great video. Easy to understand and to the point, thanks for sharing.
Anything to prevent water intrusion is a good idea. I hadn't thought of that but sure, why not?
What did you end up using for the corner pieces? Did your local building store or lumberyard have those metal corner transitions? Super helpful video thanks for sharing.
Very good info.
Hi, thanks for the video! What type of replacement siding are you using here? I have to re-side one exterior wall and then also replace some sections on my home. Your help is greatly appreciated!
We used the same type of siding for replacement. We found it at our local home improvement store.
Thanks for that. Just the info I needed.
Thank you. GOOD VIDEO, AND VERY HELPFUL... where can I find the transition strips. I was looking for at home depot, but I couldn't find it. What is the correct name of this little pieces.
I wasn't involved in picking up the parts but I think they came from the regional big box Menard's in our area. Someone should carry them in your area.
I will soon begin this process, , Great demonstration! Question: Where does one find the hardboard you used to replace the damaged ones?
I've heard they can be hard to find. We found them stocked at the Midwest big box Menard's, but I'm hearing that Lowe's and Home Depot often don't carry them. Perhaps they can order. One viewer had them ordered through his local lumber yard. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Would you be able to use a pneumatic nail gun to put the replacement boards up?
I would think so.
Where did you purchase your siding? Very good video thanks
I didn't buy it. It was either Lowes or our regional home improvement store Menards. Thanks for the feedback.
What did you use in place of the pressboard siding? LP?
We found some of this same siding at a local regional home improvement big box.
Do you know where we can get the transition strips?
We got from a Midwest big box store called Menard's
Where do you buy replacement boards
We found them at a Midwest big box store.
Hi Mate. That doesn't look like hardboard. Looks like weather side board, made back inthe 80's I believe. Is that correct?
"Pressboard siding, also called synthetic wood siding, or hardboard (not to be confused with HardiePlank®) siding, is mainly comprised of wood fibers, flakes or chips that are held together by glues and resins. "
Ware did you get this product if you would please let me know
We bought it at the upper midwest big box Menard's. It should be available at Lowes and Home Depot I would think.
Thank you I've looked here st our local store but without luck. What is the product exactly called. Masonite board? You did a great job. I have about 10 to 15 boards to do.
@@kristoffercoffin3087 It's MDF siding at Home Depot.
thank you very much
Why don't you just use a sawzall to cut the nails off for removal? The few nail stems left shouldn't cause an issue right?
Yeah why not? As long as you can get the blade in there.
Where did u get from
A big box store in the Midwest called Menards
I did not know anyone put that crap back up. I assumed I was watching another type siding job. I would never use that junk.
It may have its uses, such as getting a house ready for sale when you don't want to re-side the whole thing, leaving that decision up to the new owners.
