How To Repair Damaged Siding | THE HANDYMAN

[animequeen]

I'm on disability, so I can't afford to hire people for repair work, so DIY vids like this are VERY helpful. Plus I find that doing things myself actually boosts my self-esteem.

[danielszemborski]

Holy crap. I respect the handyman so much that I actually sat through his sales pitch.

I get a lot of value out of your videos. I work at a paint store in Bellingham and get a lot of random small repair questions. I appreciate all the information. Also everything you said about touch-up painting/matching paint color is accurate.

I wish you were here to replace the siding on my home. Excellent work.

That is freaking awesome! I’m getting my house painted and this is a perfect fix. I have 4 areas on the lower portion of the hardy plank broken due to lawnmower. This part time DIYer, who is reluctant on some projects. This seems very do-able. Thank you Sir.

I have a few masonite spots to repair before I paint my house, and you showed me what I need to know, Thank YOU!

I love that you whistle while you work. My old boss used to curse.

Thanks for whistling in this video. Was starting to miss it.

I appreciate this vid and the one about removing siding. I need to remove a bottom piece of siding to repair spalled concrete below. Also the Dauber Stopper: I knew I need this or something like it, on our passive Radon exhaust...didn't know about Dauber stopper so I created something like it using my wife's plastic canvas. I cut it to shape and inserted it into the open plastic pie, with a string attached if I ever needed to remove it. It does the basic job, but the insect screen is really the thing I was looking for. Thanks!

I have a similar issue with my siding. This vid has been very helpful. I subscribed to check out more of your vids in the future.

This is why i love your channel. Awesome tips that I’d have never even thought of

I like that duraglass for the repair. Too many times I've seen repairs that that get quad caulked up. I've been guilty of doing it myself! Never thought to use that stuff. Nice tip!

[CatfishCook]

As a pro painter here is a tip. Do all your cut ins first with your brush then come back and roll you paint on. But while it is still wet roll the paint out on the siding with one consistent roll. That will reduce what we in the paint industry call flashing.

You make it looks so easy. Thank you so much for your videos.

We call that filler product "Kitty Hair". I just repaired a garage door with it about a month ago. Great video, I've been using this product many years.

[maryalicehuttonviolin]

Thank you! Need to do this at my house too

[darianle]

I think this video will save me $$$$. thanks!
