I agree - the realism is refreshing. This is what the homeowner will actually experience when doing this.

This is the third video on this subject that I have seen. It is also the first one that tells the whole story. It's the first one I've seen that tells you everything you need to know. How anyone could talk abut this without mentioning nail removal, I don't know, but that's their problem. You even cautioned the viewer on how NOT to refasten the siding. Thanks for that. I had forgotten that valuable tip. Well done. Who's complaining about that sneaky ad?

I have seen about 10 videos using the tool you just used to remove siding. Everyone was edited to make it look seamless. It is anything but this video showed just how much effort is needed to remove the siding thank you.

Outstanding video Susan. I was impressed by your strait forward and deliberate manner and how you bare-handed (no gloves) tackled this project, demonstrating that a positive approach and determination goes a long way toward a successful end in what many consider "man's" work.

Sue great video! I have a similar piece to replace and I appreciate the real life struggle with a short piece of vinyl replacement. You gave me the confidence to tackle the job!

Thank you I was ready to pay someone to replace a few melted siding boards but with this tutorial I will be doing that myself this weekend. Wish me luck!!!

Great job! Just the video I needed to see. I am confident now I can replace a piece of siding that torn on the middle after a storm. Thanks Susan!

Thanks Susan. I'm a pro handyman and just needed a quick reminder how to do this. This was perfect.

Great vid, Susan. Organized really well. The only other accessory I would talk about - safety glasses and some gloves. But you did a great job! Thanks

Nice work. I usually don't bother with removing the nails, I just yank on it and break the vinyl, or cut the vinyl out with a knife... try to piece it out, and you can pound the nails flush as much as possible. Prying a nail out could damage the piece above. Also, when reinstalling, you can just snap it into place and not bother with nailing because one slip with the hammer and you will break the vinyl. If you feel the need to secure it, another approach is to use a screw gun with longer bit or extension which will allow an angle. This is a good video that should save money for many.

That is great advice. My piece is shorter than the one on this video and there is no way I will have access to nail it back. Thank you.

My siding blew off in a strong wind; the reason was due to the looseness of the nailing (as you indicated is preferred to do). This looseness allowed the wind to blow the siding around such that it slipped off the head of the nail. I'm surprised nails with larger heads aren't used, to avoid them being blown off. The nail head size looked about the same as what you used. My siding has been on for a decade or so, so I figured it wouldn't need to be all that loose anymore, so I replaced the nails with screws (to ensure they wouldn't work loose) and used washers to ensure the siding wouldn't slip over the end of the screw head. Also, I noticed that the bottom of your new piece just snapped into place; unfortunately not all siding is that user-friendly. Mine was curled too much to get it to snap under the existing piece, so I had to use a SideSwiper to get it to cooperate.

You were more informative than many of the other KZread videos on this subject. Thank you so much for your time.

What is going on here , a good looking lady doing some great repair and making a awesome video.. NICE.

Oh my thanks for saving me 290...I watched this 3 times and fixed my pieces myself...it was sooooo easy to follow

This was very thorough.Great video!Thanks.

Great video, got some valuable tips. Keep up the good work of sharing your knowledge.

Exactly the information I needed. Thank you.

I installed the vinyl siding for my entire home without help. It is a one step at a time project. Note: The length of the nails has to be sufficient to resist pulling out over time On a repair,. I wedge a piece of wood under the upper vinyl to obtain space to install the replacement strip nails. Also, the wind can really hit the siding where I live. Any pieces that are not connected securely are prone to blowing off. I would be happy to work with Susan Penning. Thank you.for the information.

Your video was helpful. I also have a small damaged area in the same place.

Good video, never mind the negative comments, you did a great job.

Good job. You are a patient woman!

There's no vapour barrier between the vinyl and wooden substrate. Moisture accumulates on the inside of the vinyl and will make the timber wet

Where is the house wrap under your siding to protect the OSB plywood??.. Awesome instructional video 👍

Cool, thanks very much. You nailed it for people like me who know $%%32 about it - every step covered, clear video - thank you!

This was a very helpful video, thanks!

Thank you. Our homes our very similar. Trim on door and windows as well.

Is that 15 minutes including camera cutaways?

Nice job and thanks. You picked a hard piece to replace with the light, bush and two j channels.

That is definitely your first time doing it. I like how you cut the video to have the real siding guy do it. I'm a singing guy and I know a noob when I see one. The nail removal isn't that important. It's best to leave it in so you don't add more holes to your house and a lot of times the new piece you cut will fit back in with the same nails but if they don't then hammer them suckers in. At least your outfit is on point tho. Cute video. Thanks for the laugh. 😁

Also one more thing I didn't finish the video when I commented first. Good luck with the warranty since whoever did the siding didn't install tyvek.

Brilliant...that looked easy but it does takes some strength and dexterity.

Thanks Sue! Got some siding work to do...

thumbs up for showing 'real life' conditions: -short length between two end posts - cool day with stiff vinyl -osb sheeting that can be tough to start a nail in -lady with beautiful manicured hands and not old carpenter with gorilla paws! Some tricks to get around some of these: You can warm up the vinyl with a blow dryer to make it more pliable. You can use a scrap block of wood to hold upper sheet away from wall while you re-nail replacement sheet. You can drill a small pilot hole to start nail, or even use small exterior wood screws with a long drill bit on a cordless drill to reattach vinyl. Also, If your house is like this with no breathable water/wind barrier under the vinyl siding, find an old carpenter with gorilla paws to 'discuss' this with your siding installer!

Good job. The only thing I would do different is only pull out the locked vinyl siding that is where the nails are that you want to remove. After doing that, just push down on that piece to be removed to unlock the other side.

Thanks everyone for the warning about the commercial at the front...I skipped it... Thank you Susan for the demonstration! Very helpful.

Good going Susan keep it up.

Well done. I liked the honest approach and the struggles. It helped keep my expectations in check. I have subscribed to you.

Dave Vadney I checked an old can of paint in our basement to see what the name of the trim color is, but the label was too faded. It's a Sherwin Williams exterior paint in a satin finish (semi-gloss would work fine, too) and the color is a light tan/beige - sort of the color of an iced coffee with a lot of milk added, lol. Sorry I couldn't give you the specific name. Hope this helps!

This video should be called "How to patch vinyl siding in 5 minutes 50 seconds," actually

If I nailed siding tight will it bugle with heat ?? it doesn't get direct sun or if it does its very little like 2-3 hrs in the afternoon the span of this area is 122" (10.1 feet) by 7 feet high. Should I do it over or am I ok. I did hammer nails snugged or tight because we get strong wind off the lake and I worried that it might rattle and break off.

Do you have to have this shirt to fix the hole?

Could have done without the Duluth Trading Company ad up front. (I like them, just didn't come here for that.) Also, this is not a patch; this is a replacement of a damaged section. Just FYI.

I would have thought the appropriate place would have been the obnoxious infomercials before the video. Everyone is a critic and i got my turn to. It was ok she did try mask the difficulty and play it off which she should have done. Ppl are different and the flex will change with the temperature. So she could have waited for a warmer day of had the piece inside for hours before and mentioned the beware for the potential crease one could make

And are you really caller her out over symantics of patch vs replacing a piece of siding on her entire garage (a patch from that perspective)? Sheesh man. You got a lot of free time.

I don't see any Tyvek or house wrap, vinyl siding gets condensation behind the siding and the OSB will deteriorate over time.

How do you repair Molded, Rotted OSB that WASN'T COVERED WITH BUILDING WRAPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Underneath the siding????

As far as I know there isn't a repair for anything rotten/moldy. You'll have to rip it all out and replace it. This means you might have to replace the siding too, unless you remove it really carefully it may break as you remove it.

@@glitterbombgirl896 They're being sarcastic and pointing out that there isn't any house wrap underneath that siding in the video...which is the first thing that caught my eye too if I am being honest here.

This is fine if your existing siding isn't older and faded. Replacing it with a new section will look worse than the small bit of damage. Any tips on repairing v's replacing older siding?

Anyone who doesn't believe that women face wild bias in trades should come here. Look at all the men who've shown up to complain about the way she's actually done a nice tidy job here. Why? Because they feel threatened. All this nonsense about "you didn't patch it, you replaced it" -- well, duh. Nobody's going to patch a cheap piece of vinyl siding rather than replace it. As for me, I'm very grateful to her. I have a piece of siding that fell off my house, I was pretty sure I could see how to put it back, but it was nice to see that I had the right idea. And if you don't like the clothing ad, then -- secret life hack for you -- skip that part. You do it by hovering your mouse over the red progress bar and sliding it along till you find the part of the video you're interested in. If you're having trouble figuring out how to do that, I'm sure Susan can show you how to do that, too.

Nice. I bought one of siding removal tools.

Took a extra large dog door out from a wall. This is going help a lot. Thank you.

What no house wrap behind the siding?! That’s nuts!

just what I needed to know. thank you!

Great video, but no house wrap on that garage? I realize a garage is not something you have to cool or heat, but you do need to protect that sheathing.

Good job

someone may have told ya by now but you need to pull all your siding off and put on a vapor barrier or your wood will rot also you should start at the top of the piece not the bottom and also use the other end of the flat bar for removing the nails

Is it me or is your light hung upside down?

great! Thank you

At 2:49 you're prying against the lower siding. If I tried that stunt on my current repair job, I would have cracked more than is already cracked. Vinyl siding becomes BRITTLE after a few years pass. (try using a cat claw next time)

Don't know what kind of siding you have there that you hit in with your hand to lock it. I always have to use my zip tool.

Those pants look great on you, I just LOVE your back pockets

Great but that’s not really patching that’s replacing, right? No way to patch a hole and paint it to match?

I have read a few comments from other viewers and would like to say to all the people with very negative comments to shut up. If you don't like the way Mrs. Penning replaced her siding then simply take your mouse and click to another video or simply make your own how to video. I had no problem replacing my siding per her instructions. She must be doing something right to have over 41,000 views plus a company sending her free clothes.
