No loud music! No bouncing camera! Easy to understand! Great video! All YouTube videos should be this good!

[marcelvillamizar]

The best DIY video i've ever seen!!! short and precise. No music, no personal stories, you should teach other of DIY video production.

The way you explain things and the step-by-step procedure and why you do things the way you do when building is extremely helpful for me. Grateful for your video's!

[JoeJoe-imur]

Simple, straightforward, clear 👌 and short. Thank you!

I got my garage door opener up, thanks to Shannon. Next, is windows and siding. Both, I've learned to do watching HouseImprovements videos. I love this channel!!!

if you don't have a fancy dandy siding removal removal tool a paint can opener works the same way (a buck/free vs $10 for the siding tool), use it where the locking channels clip in, once you get it started you can generally ease each piece off by working your way along the edge to unsnap the joining clips. After the first couple of rows are off and you remove the nails the pieces can be gently levered off by hand (if your saving them to reinstall) by pushing down and towards you, even by giving a little love tap now and again to unsnap them from each other. I use my claw hammer to carefully wedge them apart by pushing behind the loose piece. As Shannon says "Whatever works" really.

Certainly one of the best go-to channels for diy & easily understandable instructions!

Thanks, just finishing up my first DIY standing seam metal roof. Wanted to get some siding off a covered patio so I can make it something special and cozy. Our winters are long, wet and just barely above freezing. Can't stand being cooped up all winter.

Very appreciated, I've never had experience with vinyl siding, there is no sheathing under a 8x8 section in mine, no house wrap due to rot and damage. I needed to get in there to fix and I'm trying to keep as much of the siding as possible..

[thomasbrock]

I guess I can say...you are my new and only mentor! Ive learned from your drywall, windows, and siding videos! Nobody else on YouTube explains every little detail simply like you my friend!!! Just want to say thanks for taking the time for these How To videos!!!

[stacygillard]

This looks good. Someone put vinyl on the gables of my house and I'd like to restore it to the original siding. Thanks for the quick introduction and no music. Way to go!

Great video!!
It was simple and a few minutes long, that is why i believe this video was very helpful.

Thank you Shannon!

I would love to see a video on the complete removal of siding, and repair of original siding to facilitate having a historic home going back to its original state before the siding was ever installed. I understand why some people opt for siding, but for me it does not belong on a quaint older home. And I'm sure there are tips and tricks to make the home look like it did when it was first built.

[NarcoSys]

Straightforward and plainly explained. Liked and subscribed. Thank you for making great content.

[fitzhitz]

Excellent video! Helped me get my job done in no time. Thanks from Cincy Ohio.

[jbc]

Thank you. Visual aid helps so much to understand the process.

[michaelforhan]

Great job. Well explained. I am going to have to check some shoddy work done on my place by an installer. This will help

[JDunigan]

You the man, always have a relevant and straightforward video. Thanks for doing what you do!

[ksharp]

Thank you, again, Shannon. I've learned so much from you. You're the best with these videos.

[Albert-fejx]

Always a thumbs up. I would want to see how you fit and install the pieces you removed in this video.
