No need for a level, measure down from the overhang on each end of the wall and snap a line. That way your last piece at the top will be the same width. If not, the job will not look good even from the road. TIP: If it looks level, it is level.
This is what I was looking for, thanks for your tip. One year later 😊
Short, sweet, and to the point. Great video.
Thank you for this video. May I ask what nails I should use for the siding installation on the 1/2-inch ODSB wall? The siding nails in Home Depot are 2-1/2 and 2 1/4 inches loos too long for me. Also how far the window or the door must stick out from the wall? And may I ask you how much the window has to stick out of the ODSB board to allow proper matching with the J-channel?
No idea what all of you vinyl siding installation pros are talking about in the comments, can you help me understand and maybe give me a few tips? Hoping to also use this knowledge in the future.
There's an institute?
Can j channel be used vertically to hold siding panels?
Oh yea.
U wrap windows with j channel
anyone know how to install a starter strip if you have to replace just the bottom piece of siding...without tearing it all off
There is a tool that you can use to remove a row of siding. Look up malco srt2. Remove, replace and reattach. Goodluck.
@@dennispope8160 thank you...much appreciated my friend
what size thickness plywood should be used for vinyl siding, 1/2 or 5/8 inch?
Either
Nothing below 1/2 in but you could have anything above the min
Is making that 1/4 cut on the corner siding for this home or an all around general corner cut?
Thats the good shit.

This video must be intended for people with some J-channel experience. Over the years I have done many home repairs but have never touched vinyl siding. Your video was going along OK for me until you got to about 3:04 and started talking about corner posts. I had no idea what you were talking about, went way too fast and left me stranded. I tried watching it two more times, din't understand it so gave up on the rest of the video. Please slow down. Also, I own many tools but have no idea what a zip-lock tool is.

why did he drop the corner 3/4 from the soffit?
It looks better even 1 inch down is fine
Watch again. He only dropped it 1/4" from the soffit.
Hi is vinyl sliding good for concrete walls?
You will have to add one by’s by tap conning them to the concrete wall every 16” or closer so you can nail the siding to the wall. I guess you could use tap cons to fasten but they are a bit expensive vs. nails.
starter strip will not move like the vinyl will
WARNING!! ⛔️
never paint vinyl siding!
I learned the hard way
Why is that?
@@stefenbays5790 vinyl siding expands and cracks. it constantly moves and shrinks. it chalks very badly and has terrible paint adhesion. I own my own painting business for 12 years now. the only thing i wont paint is vinyl. it shoudnt be done.
@@loganshelton2040 You can stain vinyl siding to any color. Won't peel off.

This is a good video. However vinyl cladding is rubbish for noise reduction. I live in a fibro near a train line and the vinyl cladding should never have been put on. Its like a plastic bag around your house. It has zero sound blocking characteristics. Its just good for deflecting rain and appearance.
I assume your siding is hollow, and not foam-backed?
No no my
Too long of ads.
Your 45s on your j-channel look horrible tighten up
