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!

I was concerned about the amount of work to be put in to replace one corner piece. You saved my day or possibly my whole weekend.. thank you. Excellent video.

[@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.

Excellent. I will be using this method to repair damage from years ago. It never seemed worth all the trouble, but I can do this.

Just cracked my corner with the weed wacker on Saturday. This is fantastic.

[@ta65mail]

I never knew there was a way to replace these corners. This video was real helpful. What a time saver, and looks great.

[@martinbrock4394]

Thank you Shannon. I had two damaged corner pieces that I put off replacing for 10 years, as it was too expensive. Your insightful video led me to believe I could do it myself, and your calm mannerism was nice to learn from. Even though the corner pieces available were 1/4 inch shorter on each side, cutting off the old and using the tool you suggested made the new pieces fit nicely. One helpful suggestion would be to use leather gloves when cutting with the utility knife. Those final shards cut a few knuckles doing the first piece, and the leather gloves made cutting the second piece much safer. Thanks again!

[@dm7097]

I have to admit that I was very skeptical at first. But it turned out nicely and definitely a lot easier than removing all the siding. Thank you for the info.

[@richdamico7524]

thanks for the tip, I used a multitool to do my cuts and some silicone caulk into the corners to hold them tight.

I have been wondering for a long time about how I was going to replace my outside end corners. But once you explained it. Is was clear as day. Thank you for your video. Great content.

[@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

[@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.

[@jerrytalley802]

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

Fantastic job best content I have seen on this type of repair..👍👍

[@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!
