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!

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.

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!

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.
