This is wonderful if owner has saved leftover or can buy James Hardy siding. Nice job!

[@FixitAll]

Thank you. Any local building supplies sell this siding.

[@apex007]

Wow. Hard to believe it broke through plywood. It must have shook the entire house

[@sailawaybob]

who invented this siding mine has the hump on the bottom and cracked . but even the flat board siding doesn't impress me . when i had my house redone they replace a lot of the upstairs siding now i need to replace some on the lower . great video

[@RobertC906]

Its a good think thats the back of the house. Those lines being that close and not staggerd would drive me nuts. And the caulking job especially on the crack of the plank that was not replaced. Ouch, it just hurt my eyes. Im glad the title was quick and easy repair.

What did you use to caulk cracked siding at the end of the video. It looks like white. Can you share the product that you use? Thank you!

[@FixitAll]

@@JiyoungLee-eh5ok siding and trim was used standard window and door outside caulk. Brown color was used just because I already have one opened from past project.

[@FixitAll]

@@JiyoungLee-eh5ok on 5:52 you can see the exactly product type of brown one. Not realy matters the brand. Just use any outdoor printable caulk for door and window.

[@BourbonBadger80]

Great work, but why wouldn’t you go back with the same length boards that were prior to damage?

[@FixitAll]

Less work, less repair price to the customers. This wall around the house corner and not visible to the people. So no reason to spend a lot of time for installation fancy long pieces.

[@hoeg123]

Overall, how long did it take you to repair the siding on the tree damage? I have a similar project upcoming and want to make sure I'm in line with estimates for my repair.

[@FixitAll]

@@hoeg123 This repair was taken 2 hours.

[@artfdiyprojects7204]

great work my friend, why did you use brown sealant the finish looks horrible its all about the finishing !

[@FixitAll]

This wall painted and will be painted by the owner, so no matter what the caulking color.

[@jguimbellot]

Because that's the correct caulk to use. It's obvious that this repair will require painting.

[@Just-Jakes]

Caulking will not last long exposed to the elements without paint over it. This repair will be painted.

[@dominickespinoza8341]

No flashing behind your vertical seams :( This was not done correctly. And why would you use brown caulking? Are you painting the house brown?

[@FixitAll]

@@dominickespinoza8341 Color doesn't mater if house will be painted. No mater white or gray or whatever color of the house - paint will cover any color of the caulk. Not very important flashing on these 3 seams.

[@FixitAll]

Oh, forgot to answer why I used brown. The answer is very simple - simply because I already had an open tube of brown from a previous project.

[@MrColtboyd]

I thought the same thing about the lack of flashing.

[@ChuongKhuc-bl1ys]

Can you please tell me what kind of nails you used here? Finish nail or framing nails? Thank you.

2" 15 gauge finish nails. My nail gun at 5:20 SENCO. So the nail also Senco brand. Senco 2 In. Box Of 4000 15-Gauge Finish Nail Pack rb.gy/19gs6h

[@katz5817]

Why is he caulking the ends of the Hardie boards that meet together?? The ends by the corner trim, understandable, but not supposed to caulk the ends that meet in the middle due to siding expandability. 🤷🏽

[@FixitAll]

@@katz5817 This side of the house not on the sunny side. So I caulk just in case to prevent any leaks.

[@katz5817]

​@@FixitAll Got it. Not sure if you used the H1 caulk which doesn't gum up like regular caulk does. And having a wet towel with u and keeping your finger wet to smooth out caulk will save u a mess of the siding and your fingers. (I still get pointers from KZbin all the time as a contractors. Team work is all about helping each other out with tidbits 💁🏻‍♂️) Everything else was 👍🏽.

@@brettbretterson6062 My type of repair really depending on the amount of money witch customer ready to pay. Some one asking not expensive ways. Ok, I can do it. So this is perfect repair for les than 1K.

[@Just-Jakes]

Do you work in the trades? If you do residential jobs, you'd know that this is absolutely acceptable work. I'm a contractor (Handyman). After discussing repair options with the homeowner, I'd say more than 50% of people that I've worked for would rather save some money and have it done exactly how he did it. That's not to say it's the best way or the way I'd do it on my own house, but it's definitely acceptable if that's what the homeowner wants.

[@scottuntz4534]

This is a horrible fix. Should have taken it back further to the seam. And other side you just caulked up. Hack job

[@FixitAll]

Yes, I can do it like you said. But, who cares how it looks in back side invisible for anyone, even the owner never see this side from backyard. So, I just save the owner a couple of hundred bucks and made this fix much shorter than you say. I don't want to work more, than it required. Thanks for visiting.

[@Just-Jakes]

Says the keyboard jocky... Homeowner may not want to spend the extra money.
