Is there something about soffit or fascia that you would like to see me make a video about?
What differences are there in installation between vinyl and aluminum soffit. Looks like they are very similar.
How do you install the J channel against the brick.
@@noahb.7838 Tapcons should work
How do you install facia with two miter cuts. Like that first roof in this video.
How to do it without a bird box just carrying the siding over to the eaves soffit.
I watched your bird box, soffit & facia videos and did my small garage roof replacement. I've gotten RAVE reviews from my friends. Turned out PERFECTLY. Thank you for teaching us how todo it correctly
Your tip on reversing the blade on the saw was great. I reversed it on my sliding miter saw and it works fine and I didn't have to build a jig. Love watching your videos. I have picked up several tips while building my workshop.
Doing the same job right now. Your video's are best I've watched. Very helpful and easy to watch and understand.
Thank you.
Easily my favorite videos for contractors. I recently got into lead paint abatement after being in the paint industry for twenty years and your videos have been invaluable. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge
I just wanted to say your video was such a great help. I am a handy lady and never have done the fascia before and used your video on how to do the peak and it made it so simple. Thank you again for doing this video
Josh, I've been planning a vinyl siding DIY remodeling project on a couple buildings that I own for several months now. Been all over youtube trying to learn as much as I can about installing siding. No one site had all the material needed to do the job. Your site and series of siding videos is by far the best there is out there. This one on how to install fascia in the peak was just what I needed to handle the fascia trim. It and all others were very informative, detailed and well presented. After watching all your siding videos several times, I feel confident now that I have the knowledge to tackle this project. I have the tools, time and definitely agree that it's worth doing myself rather than paying that extra money for subpar work. I also loved the jig you have made, will be making one of those in the near future. Again, great job, all videos were very helpful. Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us. Looking forward to more videos in the future. You could have been a teacher!

I had to modify some of your suggestions because I didnât do bird boxes like yours in the video. I was trying to match the house architecture. Everything you did was really helpful and I think my job looks ok. Made some mistakes and I did a few things different. Thanks for your videos and keep up the good work.
That is truly artwork. So neat, clean, and fresh!
Finally a video that shows the peak. Thanks!
You are welcome! Glad I can help. Take care!
Great videos, I am building a large garage with dormers, you have guided me nearly every step of the way!
That was extremely helpful, thanks. I need to replace the entire siding on my garage and this was a perfect guide.
Great to hear! Good luck ob your project!
Excellent video, thanks so much.
Excellent video & great info. Thank you
I'm about to tackle the siding and soffit on a 10x 20' shed. This is a very helpful tutorial.
I found the bird box video so it looks like you're going to help me all the way through.
"Excellent" channel! Thanks for the help .
Oh yeah thereâs definitely enough information to help you build a shed on this channel. Iâm glad this channel is helpful for you! I appreciate you watching!
@@TheExcellentLaborer
Thanks!
The shed is framed and wrapped but now after checking it out today I'll need something wider than a 2x10 because my eave extends farther out
outstanding just what i needed
Currently at work on my break. You helped me a LOT lol
Very nice instructional piece. I really appreciate all of your videos, they are VERY helpful!!
Looks great!
Thanks! I hope it keeps looking good for years to come.
Your video is very helpful. Iâm not good at determining angles. How did you know to use 7 12 on your speed square to make your angle, how do I determine my angle at the top of the fascia? Thank you.
Great job Josh. Thank you for sharing.đđđ.
Youâre welcome. Iâm glad I could help!
Great job my friend.
Thanks !!
Great video and instruction
Thank you! Cheers!
Another great video. I just finished my soffits thanks to your other video with the jig. I was not sure about the gable end. Very helpful!!
That is so cool! Iâm glad you are being resourceful and using my videos to help you. Itâs always satisfying to see the soffit finished on the house. Good luck with the rest of your projects!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Thank you! đ€
Great job đ
Thank you Stephen!
Well done!
Thank you, Robert!
Looked a little chilly there Josh. Thanks for the video guy. Take care
Yeah it was definitely chilly. I canât handle the cold!
Great video
Thank you Gerald!
thanks, very helpful!!!!!
Iâm glad I can help!
love it dude great great great.
Thanks bro! I hope you found value in this video.
@@TheExcellentLaborer always ... i'll be getting $ to you for the pleasure ... merch donations etc
I still have not done too much research on the merch. Maybe it could make money if I sell enough of it.
Getting ready to put soffit on my new shed, this video and the others you have done have been really helpful!
I'm glad I could help!
thanks for your video
You are welcome!
@@TheExcellentLaborer godâs bless you and your family
i used a similar setup to cut vinyl soffit but even with blade backwards and trying different tooth count blades siding vent holes would break off completely and it would chip. Lot of pieces were damaged so had to go back to cutting by hand.
thanks!
Sure!
I was told by a 20 year plus gutter facia, soffit, and siding and he told me to to put facia nails into the drip edge because it will oil can the drip edge and mess your shingles up.
Can you do a video on how to do fascia on a house thatâs already sided?
What do you use against the house instead of j channel to hold the soffit pieces if there is wood siding on the house already ?
Do you have a video on how to install 6 inch gutters?
How do you install aluminum trim to side of house near the roof,?
I'm adding aluminum facia to my gable that has vinyl siding attached already. Can I just slide the bottom of the aluminum facia in between the facia board and the Top siding channel?
How do you install trim on side of house near the roof,?
This series is the de-facto installation fascia, soffit, and soffit boxing instructional videos.
Ok. One thing Iâve noticed you lacked explaining, was how you get it to end in a âvalleyâ part of the soffit so it looks good instead of ending at the lower area if that makes sense. On the bird box you ended the soffit right at a nailing flange. When i done mine i ended up having to cut one right in the middle. The fascia will cover it but still. Also how to you start the first piece of soffit with no nailing flange, how do you nail it off so it looks good.
Thanks Josh, based on your outfit it looks cold! I installed aluminum fascia in the middle of winter and it ended up going all wavy by the time summer arrived (due to expansion i guess). Did you experience the same issue?
Is adding soffits on the gable ends for cosmetic only, since there is no vent to the attic on that side?
Una pregunta carnal por que no usas pistola de grapas para suffit? Me gustaria que me contestants carnal gracias
How did you get the soffit to fit exactly in the corner so you ended up with a full piece on both sides? Or did you just get lucky?
How do you soffit 90 degree inside corners?
Shouldn't that house wrap membrane go all the way to the roof sheathing? What happens when you power wash your house and water gets up there and runs down behind the wrap?
Maybe I missed something but why is the gable overhang vented?
Is this aluminum soffit your using? I am installing vinyl soffit and about to do the peak but I donât think vinyl will bend like aluminum so curious if I should run two things of j channel at the top to hide the seam of two pieces connecting since it wonât bend.
one question bro, how many boxes of Siding are 18 Squares?
Question, at the peak what do you do if the soffit panel doesn't land on a groove like yours did? still pre bend the raised portion just the same?
I still bend it to make it work. Hope that helps!
I want to use the (vinyl of aluminum?) soffit you used, but I will probably use PVC for the fascia. Does that add any complexity...or is there anything I should know about that before I start? Thanks in advance for your help.
Should not add anymore complexity. It is pretty simple stuff. Good luck on your project!
where can i find fascia?
But where do you buy the fascia??? I canât find it anywhere near me.
So when you butted up the two pieces of facia in the peak did you put some caulking underneath?? Thanks very informative video.
I did not. Not needed because they overlap each other.
How about the nailheads in the drip edge any silicone? seems like that may cause a leak in my opinion cause the whole fascia board to rot over time whatâs your opinion on that?
Yea youâre not supposed to ever face nail fascia unless maybe youâre in an extremely high wind/storm area and if you did you would definitely need to silicone or it would leak
But what size nails did you use to nail the fascia? Why don't people mention everything and leave out important parts?
How do you finish the peak if your ridge beam is sticking below the rafters? I used a 2 x 6 ridge beam with 2x4 rafters on my shed and i cant figure out a way to make my peak work...
You could rip a piece of wood down to fill the gap. Hope that helps!
Why is the soffit vented on that side? I see no need for itâŠjust to match the eaves sides?
Hello, ty for the tips, where do you get that beaded aluminum facia from?
You are welcome. The aluminum facia came from ABC Building Supply company
@@TheExcellentLaborer is that something that is online? I love your channel! Iâve learned so much from just watching you, your easy to understand and you are very good at exposing things! I would love to come work for you.
I see abc building supply company is in Portland Maine, I live about an hour from there
The fascia and soffit don't look all that difficult, even at the peak. Unfortunately, I have a peak on a brick addition where the bricks are stair stepped leaving a lot of open space. I'm not in the trades, so this will be a challenge.
My mom and I are at the soffit and fascia stage of siding and I was wondering if the soffit panels you used in this video are vinyl - vented. Trying to answer a question for my mom about quality issues. Long story... ;) Thanks!
Hi Kim. Yes this is vinyl soffit. It does not dent or bend like aluminum which is better. Hope that helps. Good luck on your project!
love your video but i was to busy looking at your beautiful blue eyes hehehe
Thank you!
Would screws be more secure?? Or nails are enough??
Screws would hold better but they are an eye sore.
Always treat wood painted ,or else termites
So we are allowed to nail in to the drip edge and fascia?
Yes you are allowed. Some dont like to do that if they have to replace the roof and the drip edge is attached to the fascia. Thanks for watching!
@@TheExcellentLaborer okay thanks good for me to know.
@@lavidanormalderay3296 No problem!
Don't bugs get through the holes?
Maybe very very small bugs. You have to vent your house!
How can I hire you to do mine?
Haha Iâm just too busy
is it always 7 12?
No it could be anywhere from 4/12 to 12/12. I hope that helps!
What is the brand name of the fascia.
Certainteed if I remember correctly.
@@TheExcellentLaborer thank you.
Wow the material is cheap. No Wonder when a tornado cones through y'all's homes are torn to pieces.. . Glad I'm an old school carpenter...
