Removing and replacing vinyl siding

[@JIV3]

I'm here in Moore, OK trying to repair the damage done by that tornado on the 20th of May and compounded damage done on the 31st May. watching your video helped me save a ton on labor cost, considering i had to pay two deductibles; one for each claim. I've never done siding before. your video showed me what was up. Thank you for your much needed help. I got two sides of my house done in one day!

[@ronandbethsharer3963]

This guy knows his "stuff" and makes what looks like a complicated job very easy. Saved me a boat load of money!

[@FlemNmzzzz]

Not only was this very concise and informative but your accent and snappy attitude was entertaining/comical.

[@Bobcatt40]

I melted the vinyl siding on my house a couple of weeks ago. The job i had to do was slightly more complicated than this job but i used all the techniques shown in this video and it worked a treat. Vinyl siding is real cheap too. I recommend doing it yourself. watch this video, you cant go wrong. Thanks Dominick.

[@rwayman84]

Just bought a house and im completely clueless on upkeep and DIY fixes. Your channel has given me so many pointers. Keep it up, you are doing good deeds sir!

[@OB1974]

I wish I would have seen this a few years ago. I would have saved $500 doing it myself. Excellent video! I know some people don't like it, but here in the Pacific Northwest with all the rain and long periods of overcast weather, it really is a good type of siding. I usually pressure wash the house every two years and haven't had any problems with mold as one viewer mentioned. Thanks for the video.

[@wiley0714]

one of the best videos i have found to show siding,, the method of installation, and tips when installing. im grateful. thanks...

[@johnsmithy12345]

Good Job on this video. Very professional production quality. Very clearly and thoroughly explained. You should seriously have your own show, you have the right personality for it.

[@shortliner68]

Very timely information! I have about four sections of siding damaged from a tree falling against the house during hurricane Irene. This information is just what I needed to watch, to see first hand how the repair is done. Thank you!

[@watertreaswf]

I've got some siding repair to do. My compliments to you....this is the most useful video I've seen in a long time!

[@BobMacc5]

Nice! My lawnmower kicked up debris TWICE now and I've got two holes in my siding that I will finally be able to repair thanks to your vid!

[@robmazzitelli]

I need to do vinyl siding repairs and have been searching for a video. I've seen many, but this one is perfect. Thanks!

[@Askmediy]

+Robert Mazzitelli Awesome, glad I could help you out.

[@Zasergat]

I'm installing a dryer vent and needed to remove some vinyl siding, and this helped greatly. As for the tool to remove the siding, I used one of those paint can openers that Lowe's or Home Depot gives you for free when you buy paint. It doesn't have quite the bend that the tool you showed does, but it worked, and worked a LOT better than the screw driver I tried. Thanks for the DIY tip!

[@beesting26]

Had some hail damage to my vinyl siding (small cracks/holes on edges) and this video explains everything I needed to know. Thanks for the complete start to finish "how to" on replacing select sections of siding. You da man!

[@picnicbasketvideo]

That was a big help! I was needing to remove the siding to replace some old, drippy faucets and was nervous about messing up my siding! Now it will be no problem. Thanks!

[@morganod]

Best video I've seen for repair of siding in plain English, didn't appear to be from a script. Thank you

[@jca203]

I love all the details you give, so helpful for someone who has never dealt with siding before, I just took off a piece based on your video, now off to find matching pieces. Thanks!!!

[@Askmediy]

Glad I could help out. Good luck on matching it. Go to a real siding supply house. The big box stores don't have a big selection and chances are that when your house was sided it wasn't bought at the box stores.

[@misscreef]

Wow! That looks super easy! My siding was burnt off my garage when some kids lit my garbage can on fire. A contractor wants to charge me $500+ to replace it. Thanks for the great video. I KNOW I can do this!

[@cramasyt]

Awesome video .. Thanks Dominic! I have to repair a few cracked siding and never thought it would be this easy until I saw your video. Great job, buddy!

[@mparr78]

Great video! The step by step instructions are a really big Help! Thanks! Just bought a house and the previous owner melted the siding with the grill as well! Now I know how to fix it! Good job!

[@roboticus3647]

Nice, thanks for the complete description. I wound up here because I have to repair a section of my house and need to remove some of the vinyl siding to do so. This was very helpful and clearly explained. Thanks again!

[@deucestrutter1]

TY So much. I am a DIY mom and this helped me soooo much! Please keep them coming!

[@deezenutsbiatch]

Great video. I iam a caprenter that recently started my selling own work and this video allowed me to take on more work worrie free. Great DIY.

[@MrNohab]

Thanks Dominick ! You saved the day! My boys played hockey on the driveway! They made few nice hole on my siding! Replace is down as You show me! Thank You again!

[@carollemcke9926]

Awesome vid! Thanks. A guy who installed my French doors didn't use flashing so I have a leak. Have to take the siding off to fix it ! This really helped to get it off without trashing it.

[@svechkevin]

Thanks Dominic! I broke about 4 of the panels in my parent's house with hockey pucks, so I will be replacing them. This video definitely will save me a ton of money!!! Great video!

[@lorriflint]

This video is fantastic! I just repaired about 35' of siding melted by my tenant's gas grill :( The removel tool referenced in the video is no longer available in the store (in Denver) at Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware or Harbor Freight. It is available online at Lowes...but I couldn't wait. In desperation, I discovered you can use a "paint can lid removal" tool that has a good curve to the tip. (One of my paint lid removers was nicely curved and another one was not.) I was able to put it underneath the edge of the siding, pull it down and get it to lock into the piece below. The siding was old and hard to match, so I took siding off of the side of the house to replace the melted siding on the patio and purchased new to put back on the side of the house where it's not as noticable - so in all, I ended up replacing/moving around about 70' of siding. I'm a 51 year old female and I did it all myself...feeling very pleased with the results :) So ladies, don't be afraid to tackle this project.

[@Askmediy]

WOW very good idea. I never of thought of using a paint lid tool. Well glad I could help out.

[@TheGoldfrontsreno]

This dude is awesome. I don't even need to do any siding replacement. I just enjoyed the lesson.

[@noomla]

This video really helped me get behind my siding to trace an exterior leak. Thank you!

[@RichardRampe]

This helped me replace my siding by myself. Thank you for posting this.

[@Askmediy]

***** Glad I could help out.

[@ravenbracey3684]

***** A friend of mine he is also an expert trader. He suggested me ANDY LANK METHOD.

[@anthonyB8286]

Thanks a lot Dominick! I put the whole side of my shed up starting from the top and was wondering why the whole damn thing came crashing down...then I watched your video. Looks much better. Thanks again Dom!

[@delvalledesigns]

Thanks a bunch for making this video! I'm installing a ledger board and needed to know how to remove the siding on my house but was too scared to experiment with pulling real hard lol. I bought the tool and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@Cowtippy]

Thanks for the video man. Roof vents on my garage have been leaking for a year and it's time to replace the walls. Siding is the first step!

[@Askmediy]

+Joshua Brickman always happy to help.

[@nealschrepfer1794]

I just moved my grill and found I did the exact same thing. Thank you for your tutorial and thank you for making me feel less of an idiot for melting my siding.

[@jro504]

Great video... Best DIY instructional vid on siding... Had no clue how the pieces attached to one another, nor any idea how to replace damaged siding. Thanks.

[@Papamoka]

Thanks for this video Dominick. I have two busted pieces from lawn mower debris to replace and now I know how to do it now.

[@TheRakuman]

Nice! Thanks for the video. During our last heavy rain storm we discovered a leak at the inside top of a window casing. Water must be getting in somewhere above the window (behind the siding) so I need to take the siding off to find the fault. This info should help me get to the problem without damaging the siding so I can put it back in place after the leak is fixed.

[@shoulier]

So yeah same thing here... bbq too close to the house and melted it. Been all warped for years until it crossed my mind to google a how to and voila. Geez louise had no idea it'd be so easy! Thanks so very much!

[@BrothrBob]

I will follow your instruction to the "T" thankx for showing me on how to replace a peice of vinyl siding, this HELPED me alot.

[@MsTruthrules]

Great video. This was needed information as I had a tree limb crash into my garage over the winter. Looks like it will be easy peasy to fix. Thanks!!

[@Ibotenicus]

you are the man... you saved me lots time and frustration by makeing this video... thankyou

[@99999racerx]

Thanks Dom! You made me a hero with the wife on the "honey do" list. I had some concrete guys install new back steps and they ripped up part of the siding demo-ing the old steps. With you great DIY advice, I was able to fix it for a fraction of what a contractor would have charged.

[@robohead521]

Very helpful video. We recently bought our first vinyl siding house and the previous owners had the melted BBQ spots. Going to replace them tomorrow.

[@BlakeAllenTaylor]

Bought a house in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area with siding... However, the inspector forgot to mention that behind the siding it doesn't have a vapor barrier. YAY, so now i have to DIY. Removing the siding, installing the vapor barrier and re-installing will now be a breeze. BTW, the tool for siding is available at home depot for around $5.66. Thank you askmediy for the video! I will be watching

[@hbchman]

Great video Dominick! I'd been putting off this project for quite a while today but after watching your video.... ba-da-bing Ohhhhh!, it all came together.

[@dolphinsc1]

Great demo and that the new bought replacement vinyl siding color matched perfectly.

[@Peeps721]

Just melted the siding on my Garage, with some ashes that quite weren't out in the Garbage can. ! Thanks for your vid. Perfect ! Time to replace the siding ........... Thanks again !

[@clintcarter]

One of the better demonstrations I have seen.

[@craftymiser]

This guy cracks me up! And taught me how to fix my BBQ melted siding! Thanks man!

[@stephenzabko]

I would watch this guy all the time he needs a show on HGTV

[@DrDeath2099]

Thanks for the video Dominick! We recently had someone set the side of our house on fire in an attempted arson and I can finally start working on getting it fixed. We have the same color siding as you do in the video and too, looking.

[@smithvp]

Great video Dominick! One of the best DIY posts I have seen!!!

[@rayearl1114]

Thank you for doing this video, I did exactly that today, I was heating my BBQ up to clean it and got it way too close to my siding, and yup it melted a bit more than what you showed here, I needed this video to get mine fixed so Thanks a Ton....

[@bbunch05]

Good video...that's exactly the lesson I needed before I removed/replaced my vinyl siding to replace an exterior door. Thanks Dominick!

[@tamiart2]

Very good! We're thinking about buying a house with siding challenges, it wasn't professionally installed. We may need work done on it and the roof as well. Thanks for the demo so we will know what to look for or what to ask when we look for contractors.

[@markmacdonald001]

Thanks for doing this man. I'm about to change out some siding after a hail storm put some holes in it.

[@kill4koin013]

Funny accent (I live in the south) LOL, but the information was great and extremely helpful! Thanks for posting and making it simple enough for me to figure out. I'm on the way to get the tool. Thanks again.

[@jasonsmith4369]

"The best way is to actually measure" truer words have never been spoken!!!

[@lesliegraceschmidt5488]

This video makes replacing siding seems super-simple. We cant wait to replace several chipped pieces on our home. Our brother-in-law is a butcher with a weedeater..

[@phillipniebieski7391]

Good Job shows all the important step.... Had a problem connecting last piece of siding, now I know how to do it.......Thanks

[@godulio83]

I know this was from a while back, but this just saved my hide. Thank you for the great video.

[@Askmediy]

Awesome, glad I could help you out.

[@njitgrad]

thanks, wish all DIY videos were this easy to follow

[@ID10TDriving]

EXCELLENT!! Very informative, this will come in handy as I need to replace a few pieces that are chipped and cracked. Keep up the good work!

[@perkeyburger]

I just wanted to say thank you! I have a section of siding that doesn't have a seam and I was struggling with how to use this tool!

[@Askmediy]

Thank you very much. Always nice to hear.

[@Burten144]

Finally a video from start to finish Thanks so much

[@wurdzify]

You're a superstar! Enjoyed your video. Extremely helpful.

[@ArcanePath360]

I was gonna remove a whole wall section during my week off, to get the ply off and insulate my bedroom but looked at it and thought it was a horrible job too big for me. Then I thought I'd see on KZbin if there's an easy way to get the cladding off. Wish I'd found this video a while ago! It's now going to rain so it will have to wait but at least I have the confidence now. Thank you

[@Askmediy]

Always happy to help.

[@SeedyNotions]

Just subbed. Thank you for making this video. I am less apprehensive about my siding now. I look forward to more.

[@Askmediy]

Awesome, glad I could help out.

[@aholesmith]

Great job, concise and very informative in a short period of time. Much appreciated.

[@proudnewfather2008]

Thanks buddy, great clear instructions, made perfect sense about the heat popping it out! Now our biggest problem is finding a ladder high enough.

[@gregmelgremic1970]

awesome video! I found that using the head of a long nail also works great to get under the sidding to remove it.

[@stephaniestuart7540]

Awesome help! Thanks so much! Very helpful and I will be repairing my storm damage myself!

[@Askmediy]

Great, thank you. Glad I could help you out.

[@Thwackboom]

Thanks for the video. You're easy to follow and I feel like I learned something.

[@Askmediy]

Awesome, always glad to help out.

[@demetriusUSN]

Great video, my window started to leak and this is just what I needed. Thanks

[@espaceman000]

I had a strip of siding come loose (courtesy of Hurricane Gustov) and I'm going to fix it this afternoon. I'm glad I watched this because I probably would have over-simplified the task and hammered the nails in too tight, etc. Anyway, thanks!

[@metsfaninct]

Knew I could count on you to have a video for this :) Thanks again!

[@alegende]

love the pet coming out to check on you at 04:03. thanks for the video. need to repair a loose siding that my builder won't cover any longer.

[@AK47rulestheday]

Superb video and thanks. I have been told that you shouldn't do this in the winter because the vinyl is brittle and can brake. Your thoughts sir?

[@markclifford6623]

Thank you Dominic great video I just needed to know how to take vinyl siding off in a particular area 4 ft off the ground so I didn't know how to start without breaking it. I need to see if there is a water leak from a pipe. So that's where your video came in real Handy thanks again....

[@scott1lori282]

I'm about to replace a bunch of hail damaged siding tomorrow. Wish I had that tool but a paint can opener works fine. It's a double duty tool!

[@thomassolano1578]

Man you are a character!! Love your stuff.

[@redrocketbaby]

i raised my hand for burning the house while barbequing, great video, thanks

[@mattbaker6854]

Great job on explanation and not being boring.

[@srinevous]

Thanks for the video! Gotta pull off siding tonight as my window seems to be leaking somewhere from up top. Wasn't sure how to pull the siding off properly.

[@blake]

That was really informative, and prevented me from making several assumptions on my own. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@dollydoc72]

Thanks. I needed this. Siding is coming off today.

[@mogyme]

That was great...very clear and informative..don't need to view any other videos. Thanks

[@Askmediy]

Thanks man.. Always nice to hear. More to come very soon.

[@redvideoediting]

thanks for the help! Couldn't have even started with out your coaching.

[@johntroiano39]

thank you! im a mason contractor needing to remove some siding to make room for patio surface...easy peasy

[@MrTopcats69]

WoW, That was great vid really helped me with my repair. Very entertaining also. better than some of the TV DIY stuff, Thanks for the help.

[@osmo67]

Very helpful, thank you for taking the time to make the video.

[@angieerickson5471]

Great video and very informative. Do you have a video on how to replace the J Channel from around the patio door?

[@Askmediy]

I get lots of compliments everyday.. But none like yours. Thank you very very much. And yes I would love to have my own show. One day maybe... I hope, lol... Thanks again.. Regards... Dominick

[@xdmderp]

OMG!! Dude I did the EXACT SAME THING... with my barbeque lol.. Now I don't feel so bad lol.. Thanks for the help great video bud.

[@Carpenters_Canvas]

With the screw driver find a factory edge where there is a tab that will let you pull it away faster , cool vid , if I can’t get to the nails you can kinda unhook them from the vinyl slots if a little tab breaks off no big deal there are tons of them just tons split the whole piece

[@douggwyther2852]

Good video. Helped me repair my outside siding. But, I have a "rec room" between my kitchen and deck. It was built by the previous owners and finished inside, including the ceiling, with the same vinyl siding as is on the exterior of the house. I want to remove some of the ceiling siding pieces to locate the studs and put in the heavy duty hangers for a yoga sling. How do I get those pieces out, and then back in?

[@Askmediy]

congrats on the new house. And thank you so much.

[@Zoltan3939]

You should have your own show ... good job

[@tonyrokusek270]

fixing my kick panel today, thanks for the removal instruction..very helpful.
