I’m not a “siding guy” specifically but a tradesman can always respect another man’s craftwork. Your comment about your employee coming to you with a tip is so true. Even as a foreman anytime one of my guys had a great idea I ALWAYS made sure to give them the credit.

After 28 years of roofing and siding, I finally went out and got a set of padded over the shoulder suspenders for my tool I felt like a brand new guy. they are worth it, even the cheappos from Harbor freight works. Your body will thamk you. good videos man.

Thanks for the tips, , I've been watching Your videos, along with a few and others and they have been very helpful in my process. I've done automotive repair for 30+years, so fixing things is a no brainer. So far this summer my teenage sons and I have removed all siding, wrapped and taped the house, added 1.5in Foam boards, with 1in foam and 1/2 osb, , 5inch wide, bucks around all windows but not doors. Didn't want to extend interior jambs on doors. But extra window sills, , , you bettcha. We used 1in thick vinyl 4in trim around all windows, I trimmed a rabbit from backside, for clearance over nailing flanges of windows, so the other 2/3 of back of trim board sides Flat against window bucks for good square corners and seal. I then used 3/4 vinyl trim boards on their side, as a picture frame around exterior doors about 2 3/4 in out from wall. So after the foam and siding they sit 1/4 in proud of J-channels. Looking forward to the utility savings from the extra insulation, and a new look. Going from white to Monogram Tuxedo with White trim. If you are doing a siding job anyway, , , the extra cost of adding the insulation, has been about $1750 on a 1400 sq ft ranch. That extra R-7.5, plus a way better air seal to the home, should get me that money back in a few years, , then savings every year after.

New to the channel. I'm an upcoming contractor/handyman and just started roofing. Done it in the pass by watching your videos. I now have a few new ways of doing things more efficient which makes more money. Thanks for posting these videos. I'm thinking of doing videos in the near future once I get more settled in with running a business. Thanks for the content keep it up.

I’m a woman worked in aviation love working with men miss it so much “Get 'er done" ❤ thanks for sharing

Besides learning a method for trimming around the window your advice about being open to suggestions or advice from employees or fellow workers no matter what your level of experience is a very good piece of advice and if more bosses and company big wigs would use it I feel more companies would have better quality work and more efficient.

You should always start with a full piece and then do 3 foot cut back stair steps! It hides the vertical lines where your overlaps are a lot better! Then when you get up to the window you run just straight ones of course. You will not waste because whatever you cut off you can start on the another wall! Not saying this to be a smart ass but you hang Vinyl siding .you don't put it on. The nail has to go in the straight and you should be able to slide it back-and-forth in and out away from the wall toward you and back to the wall. You should never pull up on it when you know it locked .It should just float .You hang it put a nail in the middle and work your way out And it will come out straight every time. 22 years in the game. Love your roofing videos learned a lot from you.

Great stuff man, I have my own siding company and I'm learning a lot from your videos, I'm not that far off with your methods, thanks for the help!!!!

[snoozinglion]

You do a good thing by sharing your knowledge ;)
I wish Youtube was around when I was starting out...
Cheers!

Wish I could've worked on a crew like this when I was young. Imagine the experience Boy Cub is getting! Life long!

Don't understand haters for this channel. If you don't agree with something instead of just hating why not state the way you do it and explain why you think it's easier and better or why the other persons way is wrong. The end result can be the same but one persons way may be more efficient and easier to learn. That is what these videos are supposed to be for in my opinion. Veteran Construction seems to be a program that knows what their doing and would be open to new ideas and probably try them at some point to see if it's better and let us know. I work on my own house a lot doing remodeling things which is not my occupation but I do enjoy it. I watch many videos about whatever I'm working on to learn how I can do it best and right for my abilities. No hate needed.

[yamahafazer]

We used to say, do you want it right? Or right now? I think you’ve mastered both, which means you’ve mastered your trade! Great job! As usual. 👍🏻

Crazy i found your video the same week we're siding a house in willoughby on kirtland chardon road down in your neck of woods ..the company i work for is out of saybrook . Its a old brick house were doing down there ..we tore down all of the red brick and had to drill and tapcon lat boards to the cinder block for our vinyl .. Keep up the good work. Im always down to learn more tips and tricks ..you can always sharpen your craft no matter how long you been doing it

[BTJ]

Thank You! I needed to do a repair job on my siding. I wasn’t sure how to cut the siding ! Can’t wait to get started

[emmanuelmeyermeyer]

I use a special tool that punches out the siding to create a lip that locks the siding in under the j channel under the window. Love it!

[string]

I like the white corners with the siding. It's a sweet contrast. Most keep it all the same colour but I think it looks much better, providing you have white windows, white soffit and facia..

[Warrencarpentry]

Man I'm really starting to like your channel!! Every video I watch i learn something new. Great ideas!! Thanks!!
