How To Replace A Vinyl Siding Corner

[@lockedloaded4942]

This guy is a really good teacher. What a great idea to save yourself from pulling all of the siding off to repair a corner piece.

[@evergreen8965]

I appreciate your calm, direct, thorough explanations. No music, no screaming.

[@mikekeating]

I've been in construction for a little under 20 years and I gotta tell ya that's the slickest shit I've ever seen. .. well done sir.

[@caseyc4516]

That’s what I was thinking...put on a ton of siding too

[@hamiltongoldbug]

I've been in the business for years and never thought of this! It's a dull day if you don't learn something new. Thanks for a great educational video!

[@michaelbedell6523]

No words can cover how this video can help a weekend warrior like myself to handle this very issue that I have. I will definitely play it forward for friends and neighbors, Totally agree that you are a great speaker and that your professional customers are thankful to have your services.

[@jessicalynnathome]

Oh thank goodness this video is here! Our corner piece broke and I had and someone come out to do and estimate. Just to replace the corner piece be used they said they had to remove all that siding first was going to be $1200! This video is a money saver!!! I know what I’m doing this weekend! 👍😁

My corner broke about a month ago during a wind storm and have been dreading the repair. Your video is so timely and the technique you propose is elegant and will save hours of work. Thank you for your time and effort!

Ditto. I'd recommend wearing gloves when cutting. even the vinyl is sharp when cut.

[@richardblake810]

Ditto: well said

[@Nellie7777777]

Hello, I'm in the same boat. My corner was busted from a company that plowed my driveway. The corner has been exposed and I'm afraid the wood will get wet or worse rot. Is there anything i should do before they replace with a new piece?

[@edwardrook8146]

​@@rtta51yeah I just did this on a customer's house after we damaged their corner during a tree job and my hands are all sliced up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

[@kaloncar]

Wow! Very slick. I will be doing this SOON! I'm taking note that the biggest challenge is to make sure my cuts are correct on both the broken piece and it's replacement. Thank you for sharing your tips.

[@zacharyfike1071]

I cracked a corner today. Pissed me off so much as it was my fault. I came across this video and immediately had a sigh of relief. I’ll be doing this tomorrow. Thanks!

[@j.morrison73]

I have a section with a hole a little larger than you had and it drove me nuts for three years. I had a new replacement piece but needed a guide to do what you just did. First warmest day in 2025 and I'm doing it. Thanks.

[@joeo1904]

Clever solution for repairing common vinyl siding corner damage. I've been masking the damage with color matched tape to avoid pulling the siding off to get to the nails. Now I'll be hitting a big box store tomorrow for some new pieces to make my shed look new again. Thanks for clearly demonstrating this time saving technique!

[@TexMSU]

KZbin never fails me. Thank you for this easy repair method!

[@billjoyce663]

I almost never comment on here. But just wanted to give a quick thank you for this video and for the clear, concise instructions. Did this yesterday and it worked perfectly! Thanks again and keep the videos coming!

[@brianharris895]

Thank you sir. I just got into doing my own business with siding and I have not seen this yet. I definitely am able to do repairs and not charge a steep price to my clients.

[@brianmurray667]

Another great job in demonstration and explanation. You keep this up and homeowners won’t need any tradesman. Lol

[@Keplerb-od1lr]

Watching videos like this is more than learning how to fix a vinyl corner. It teaches you creative problem solving that you can use on other projects.

[@juanheredia6609]

I do a lot of remodeling handyman work and construction. And you're a very knowledgeable and professional person. I love watching your videos I always learn so much!! Thank you for all your hard work amigo!! 🙂

[@butchp1384]

I'm a handyman that's never done siding work, and actually have a couple of clients that need some siding work done, and there are a couple of corner pieces that need replacement. So this video showing up on my recommended list is perfect timing. Thanks!

[@chuckroast5735]

Been using this technique for years. Sometimes the new corner will fit over the broken one with doing anything to the broken one. Hint: use a 4 inch grinder with a cut off wheel to make your cuts. You'll never use a knife again.

[@JustinSchoelen-yw8pd]

I was thinking no need to remove old gonna try that way

[@lancasteredc7773]

Or an oscillating tool too that would cut the old and new cleanly💪💪

[@abigailarchabald]

Great tutorial! I had a tree destroy one of my siding corners during Hurricane Helene and this makes me confident in my decision to do my own replacement. So much easier than i thought it would be!

[@junior3402]

This is one of the best repair videos I’ve seen. This made a very time consuming job sooo much simpler!

[@sonnyblazer5504]

OUTSTANDING: I've been looking at the bottom of one of my corners that I see every time I drive by it in FRONT of the house. Many years ago, I glued a piece from behind but the crack always shows. And NOW YOU arrive on the scene and I say THANKS, liked & SUBSCRIBED!!! Sonny (CT)

[@pauljtee9141]

This was a great video, but.........i really wanted to comment on a previous video you did on how to do a drop ceiling. I got put into the position of having to do two bedroom ceilings having never done a drop ceiling before. Not one video that I found was helpful at all, except yours, which was detailed and completely understandable. I did two " perfect" ceilings, and the tiles with a recessed edge, like you recommended were the difference maker, they were so beautiful. You have an incredible gift as a teacher. A simple thankyou is not enough.

Watching you replace that corner had saved me not only money, but a ton of time. GLAD I FOUND YOU GUYS 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@billcampbell5605]

I did vinyl siding professionally for years and taught myself this method a long time ago. One method I leaned on over and over as I had a thing about not seeing fasteners, was I relied on caulking a lot instead of nails or rivets. Geocel was my caulk of choice and I would put a good gob on both sides at the top and support the corner till the caulk set up. That allowed the corner to expand down and not wrinkle when it expanded. Great video!

[@HouseImprovements]

So damn! I guess I did not invent this method! LOL I often wondered if others did this same thing. Yes I should have mentioned the caulking at the top but forgot because in this case it was not needed as the corner fit to the concrete. Thanks for the feed back!

[@SonsOfThunder229]

Can you do this with an inside corner also?

Excellent video. I’ve been around some construction/repair all my life and that’s a new trick. I can fix anything but because I don’t do it for a living in over 30 years, I don’t think of creative things like this. If several were damaged, you could also get some pvc coil and make a FALSE CORNER on a metal brake with return bends and pop it right over the whole corner but unless you did more than one, it would not match. I love how creative people are, never too old to learn, thanks
