I took a window out, how should I fix the vinyl siding to cover the void?

[@ricstep]

Great job walking us through that .

[@samalfakir5463]

The same tool is $7 on Amazon

Bought mine at Menards, look into the roofing/siding department where you can oder bulk supplies.

Started watching this guys channel 4 years ago when I wanted to side my entire house...quoted 30k, I was able to side me entire house with new channel and soffit and fascia...3k...this guy has the best videos hand down....

[@rosssiren5258]

I watched him do several home repairs...he is my favorite! Very simplistic approach!

[@Talinthis]

30k? wtf? was he going to put golden siding on your house?

[@_Moto215]

@@Talinthis That's how much it costs, apparently. My buddy/neighbor is getting his done and that is the same amount he said he's spending.

[@Talinthis]

​@@_Moto215 jesus i would just do it myself like the primary post who saved 27 grand and then go renovate a spare room into a badass man cave or something. 30k could get a lot done. even if you are a dummy, as long as you can use a protractor and you will make your cuts all nice and proper.

[@_Moto215]

@@Talinthis It's ridiculous. Prices for everything are getting outta hand. I want to do a simple 12x25 deck and can't find a quote under $20k. Going to end up doing it myself. I've learned a lot by watching this guy Shannon. He's great.

[@iamric23]

I see that this is 4 years old, but you did an excellent job explaining how to repair a section, so thank you.

[@jimwhitaker8751]

What difference does it make that the vid is 4 years old? The procedure is the same today as it was then.

[@leeroethler9416]

Thanks you just saved me $23,000 for 3 pieces of aluminum siding that got damaged in a storm . I had 2 boxes left they all refused to do aluminum repairs . Took 2 hours and a hand full of nails thanks man .

[@paulaaronmarcus]

I did my whole basement watching this guy's videos. Everytime I get stressed on a project I can play his video and his voice chills me right out. Now I need to replace a corner piece of siding on my garage. Contractor wants 3K for the job.

[@letasse3107]

Thanks! This was just what I needed in order to access some plumbing problems. BTW I'm a 60+ year old lady DIYer. I love that people put up videos so I can continue to learn new things.

[@brianleslie2699]

Ditto! Exactly what I needed to know to access some plumbing on my outside kitchen wall. Thanks for making this video!!

[@alansmith7626]

Thank You! It may be 6 yrs later but this was Exactly what I needed to know! Thanks again!

[@johngouvin8322]

Thanks man, you took a bit of the mystery out of vinyl siding for me.

[@k3ntmusic03]

You took the words right out of my mouth

[@sethwilliams3683]

Pieces of siding keep falling off my house, now I know how to fix them. Thank you sir!

[@outdoorsforever1027]

Your home help and construction videos are the best I’ve found. Many thanks for taking the time to do them.

[@johncuervo3019]

I've seen the tool before but never needed it until now. I've only helped put up new siding

[@rustyd5070]

Shannon, I've watched many videos and only a few, like you get to the instructions of the subject matter. Your videos are excellent! Thanks

[@tazique]

You're a dang good teacher. Looking forward to more of these

[@gigitopping1576]

Good info. Thanks

[@barbarahenn-pander5872]

This was incredibly clear. Everyone kept telling me I had to remove the entire wall of siding to get at ones in the middle. Just gotta get that little thingme to unhook the siding! Onward! Thank you!!

[@resourcefulgirl]

Always appreciate your help. I'm hanging a large window box in the front of my house and need this info to find the studs so I'm not left with unnecessary drill holes in my siding. Being that my home was just built, I mentally have to prepare myself for every hole created (silly as it seems lol). You're one of my top channels to go to for projects so really grateful for your thorough tutorials!

[@copperheadharley]

Thanks again. I wish a TV Network would give you a Home Improvement Show!

[@billsutherland3935]

Was thinking the same thing!

[@tkoselak4016]

Too bad no one watches TV anymore, however I agree, great job!

[@tx2000now]

Thanks! An excellent start to finish explanation (and demonstration) in laymen's terms with laymen's tools. Much appreciated.

[@fredyquintana.2228]

I’ll been doing this for 20 years I am still learning thank you for your Video

[@Jack-jl1mf]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had to replace J channel around a bathroom window which was smashed by the Isaias storm. I had to remove the siding and your video did the trick. I was quoted $1400 to replace and repair and I did it for $70 for an online replacement (double glazed) window and an $8.95 tool. Not bad for a 72 year old man.

[@char_B]

I'm sure you know there are a lot of people who ding up a piece of siding and look at it for years, because they just don't know how easy it is to replace. Thanks for another great video!!!

[@Sola_Scriptura_1.618]

Great tutorial. I love watching craftsmen at work!

[@lorenamedina8472]

This was a great tutorial easy to follow. It was my first time replacing vinyl siding and it was a success! Thank you

[@whaytay5322]

This is a very helpful demonstration of how to install the siding, thank you.

[@SF80CAMARO]

Thx Shannon. ..had a Rock flung from my snow blower punch a hole thru my dutch lap siding .Will tackle this repair for sure.

[@dcfred777]

I had to fix my siding real quick because I put a hole in it for a camera system. Realized how dumb it was to do that but because of this video I was able to fix it easy thank you!!!

[@ArchangelArchangel-tq3xo]

Good video Shannon!! You always make everything look so easy I have to remove and replace about 8 feet of siding that got damaged in a storm Mine is about 12 ft off the ground which makes it alittle more work Thanks for your videos !!!

[@jameslogan3383]

Really good video. To the point with good instruction. He did not waste time falling in love with his own voice.

[@dufftime]

of course you release this video the day after i was struggling to figure out how to replace a piece of vinyl siding :) now i have to redo my nails in the center of those slots and pull them out a bit. damn you!

[@talbertadams6586]

You should have investigated before doing. I assume you were cursing yourself, not the messenger.

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Excellent, I have a vertical and horizontal J Channel damage on a window and siding damage from previous home owners dog. Watching your videos gives me confidence to repair myself.

[@louf7178]

Gr-rreat video! Yes, the grille bumped the siding AND at some other time a ladder fell on it - stupid, stupid, stupid mistakes. Thank you.

[@MDLady1965]

This was the most helpful video! I do 99% of the work at my house because my husband is disabled. I've needed to remove the bottom layer of siding for a while and was always afraid. This has me at ease! Definitely subscribed and looking at your other videos!

[@IROCZman15]

this is great! my wife used to practice axe-throwing at a target on the front of our vinyl sided house. now I can fix easily fix the damaged areas !!

Shanon, first let me say that I LOVE your videos, they are so helpful and you are not only a great Contractor but an excellent Educator. But allow me to be an old man and suggest something inappropriate under normal situations...Smile.

[@KL7124]

This video is awesome. I’m a DIYer and have to fit in a short 4’ section of siding where a concrete porch was removed in preparation of a new deck. Now I have a better idea of what to do. Thank you.

[@Just1Spark]

You sir are a life saver. THUMBS UP!!

[@tomtriolo1870]

Thanks! You made it super simple. 6 bucks for the tool and 15 minutes of work.

[@matthellcat2494]

Great video! You should do a similar vid of soffit

[@flyurway]

Dude ... NICE!! Nicely done, to the point, informative, no b/s, no stone unturned. Heck, you even removed and reinstalled an entire piece in real time in just a few minutes. Had DirecTV put in a dish once, the dumbass screwed the bracket to the wall with 6 big-ass lag bolts into the siding, then found out it was too high and the dish hit the overhang of the roof!! Take it down and drill 6 more big-ass holes ... what a piece of work!!! Put in a sliding glass door years ago so I've got plenty of matching siding left over to put to use now.

[@jessekarns8876]

Perfect. I was an idiot and melted my siding with the grill lol. Thanks!

[@patrickflaherty1797]

my god I did the same thing!

[@tastyhealth8966]

Yes sir, great video. It helped me replace a hole in the vinyl strip on my garage. The neighbor kid has poor aim with his BB gun. Rather than whip him, I gave him a life lesson of kindness and fixed the hole in my vinyl myself. Watch our video to loose stress.

[@MD-ot3nl]

thanks a lot. Top notch video, as always

[@KungFuMunkeyz]

Thanks for this. First time home owner that hit a small mound of gravel hidden by some long grass and wound up with a few holes in our siding. Always happy to learn some DIY skills for repairs. Going to use your videos when we build our next home

$7 DOLLARS AT LOWE'S... U saved me lots of time and money thks I did a 2 tone on house. we just survived Hurricane Ian in Florida...

[@cgilleybsw]

3 1/2 years later - this gives me encouragement. When I replaced all of my masonite siding 20 years ago, the best decision I made was to go vinyl. I've easily saved 10's of thousands not having to paint. But after raising a family - baseball, hockey, pellet rifles and airsoft guns, ahem, there are a few places needing replacement. I wish it was just the grill that got too close :) good video.

[@jp21282]

Was watching TV and a tree trimming crew dropped a damn tree on the backside of my home it was LOUD severely damaging my siding almost a month ago now. Company that damaged it are totally fine with paying for it to get fixed. However trying to get a siding company out for a small space has proven a nightmare. Thank You for this video!

[@jeannieglover7432]

we are in the middle of our first more or less ground up flip other than the main shell.. i accidentally crossed your video and have been watching what i can find now. i love the fact you do not just prattle on about non relevant things and you speak at a rate that is actually pleasant and 100% understandable.. thank you.

[@mattl5373]

Man what an awesome video! I hardly ever comment on any videos but the simplicity of this video is awesome. Short, sweet, and to the point. I feel like I could watch this 8 minute long video and two weeks later go do a siding repair on my house and not forget any information or have to sort through pertinent details. Not a bit of information not useful. Well done!! Exceptional quick, easy, and straight forward video. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@HouseImprovements]

Thank you!

[@Bender13]

Bbq melted my siding.....always had a brick home before so, lesson learned. Because of your great video I went out and bought the tool (inexpensive) and another length of siding (inexpensive) and replaced the damaged area. It was as easy as you made it look...I took my time. My neighbours found out and I soon became the “expert” in siding repair. Ive since repaired 6 friends siding in the neighbourhood.....all bbq damage. Thanks again for a great, easy to understand video.

Hi Shannon, thanks so much for this tutorial. I bought the tool and this morning tried to remove the vinyl siding from my basement wall, oh my gosh, I just couldn't get it! I watched your video 5 times, maybe I didn't have the strength to push it up all the way, I couldn't hook it. I hope I have more luck when I have to put it all back on!! ☺

[@M00Nature]

Very helpful video! I was able to get the siding off and put the new pieces on with little trouble. The problem came in "snapping" the pieces back together with the handy dandy tool. My pieces were very difficult to lock together and since I had two pieces of siding to replace, I had to "unlock" many pieces to accomplish this job. My hands were cut and bruised by the time I was done. All the while I was thinking...there must be a better design that is still effective and not this difficult! I am a 69 year old woman who works with her hands on a lot of outdoor projects but I barely had enough hand strength to get the pieces back in. Next time, I hire someone to help me!

[@BOWSMOKE]

I appreciate what you’re doing. Started a handyman business a couple months ago and nobody knows everything however you are a wealth of info for someone like me. Thank you sir.
