I’m a 20 years old guy trying to learn this job and tbh I learned everything because he explained the way it need to be explained thank u I’m goin to work on monday

I am a licensed general contractor, and I approve this great siding man as one of the best in siding industry.

[DixieNormous]

I've been putting siding on for years and I've never chalk lined the corners, but that's not a bad idea working by yourself, you can get them straight without eyeballing.

[joeSmashman]

Thank you I need a refresher course on how to install siding this video help me tremendously and not everything is always a straight wall. I have to basically clean up all the damaged areas of the house and fill it with wood and foam insulation sheets, and then add Tyvek, then Install Vinyl siding. All the way up to the soffit and facia board and then probably cover that as well.😊

[jameskruse]

You are amazing man! I’m 28 and a homeowner, love working on my house, your videos give me the courage to tackle these types of projects! Can’t thank you enough.

[donaldcross]

Only had to do siding couple times my house and some of my dad's house. Learned from my real good friend that was a master builder, he showed me, but you really do a good explanation of it. Thank you on your builders time to explaining it .

[DansDrives]

If you don't have brand new or really sharp snips, they're worth it for doing this job and just making it a little easier. GREAT video!

[JohnSmith-hrpb]

This is my favorite channel on YT. I'm a local handyman with my own gig, and even still there's jobs I'll come across where I'm not familiar with the process, and this channel gives the best explanations and examples. Keep up the good work bro.

For a one man show this is well shot and produced, loved this.

My husband and I watched your video to learn more about some repairs we needed to make on our siding. Your video along with another on YouTube fit the ticket! reattached the bottom of our siding (strip etc) with no problems!

[lestroisYLS]

I'm working on a community charity build project this weekend and I'm opting for vinyl siding instead of sub flooring. Years of watching building shows on tv have given me basic knowledge, but your video gives me more confidence that I can be a help, not hindrance, on this volunteer project.

[stuartewoldt]

Appreciate your video. Just bought a house and about to redu the siding. Never done it before so We gonna see how it goes.

[johnharris]

I have installed siding for years. I installed aluminum siding for 6 years, vinyl was not on the market then. TIP: Leave the level in the truck, measure down from the overhang on each end of the wall and make your marks for the starter strip. That way your last piece at the top of the wall will be the same width. If not, it will not look good from the road. Do the same with your j boxes and mark those with the siding. You were off just a little with one in your video and a trained eye can spot mistakes.

Did general construction as a contractor for a while . Went to painting . Costumer asked if i could do some siding . Said yes. Then remembered its been a good numbrr of years . Great refresher course

[WilliamMccray-yb]
