Really good video Joe. I like the idea of the "bump-out" glued to the first board verses nailing it to the home first. There should be a gap or two to allow any unexpected water out.
Making the trim corners before installing is also a great idea to hide any imperfections of the corner of the house. The only thing I do differently is I trim the width of one of the trim boards by the thickness of the trim boards so that the trim is equal on both sides of the corner. But I've seen/done it both ways and it looks it good either way. Great work. And thanks for taking the time to document.
Thanks for the kind comment and tips. Regarding the corner trim boards, I just do not like cutting cementitious siding and so ripping a piece did not appeal to me for this project. Thanks again.

This is one of the better videos that I have seen. You didn't just assume people knew what they were doing, you explained what you were doing. Good job.
Thank you for the supportive comment. Happy new year.
I’m just going to throw it out there... 115 dislikes with no comments 🤔... For us non DIY / no construction background kind of person , I find this video very educational and straight forward... there are tons of postings to choose from on TH-cam channel to complete the pie in what ever projects you undertake.... I commend you for taking the time out and sharing your skills/ talent.👏👏👏😎🌺🌈🤙🏽
Thank you for the kind and encouraging comment. It is rewarding to hear the siding installation demonstration was insightful and hopefully even useful for you.
About to do a house in Hardieplank for the first time and found your technique and tips to be more thought-out than even the James Hardie instructions. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind comment. Happy Holidays!
Beautiful finish and a great way to isolate the exterior walls from the weather and elements.
Thank you very much!
This is one of the best videos i've seen by far. Thank you
Happy to hear that!
This is a great video. FINALLY some one shows how to put a bump strip when the bottom is concrete. This answers my question! Thumbs up and great work my dude!
glad you enjoyed the cementitious siding install video. Thank You!
Excellent series concise and simple. I hate people who think they need to be overly verbose to instruct. You did it just right.
Thanks for watching and the supportive comment. Happy Independence Day.
Dang that turned out GREAT!!!! I love seeing quality work and the results speak for themselves. Awesome job.
Curt thank you for the kind words. The converted porch has become one of the most functional rooms in the house.
I used HardiePlank to replace a few masonite boards on my home, they make a HardiePlank design that is very similar to my existing masonite siding. It was quite easy to work with.
HardiePlank was great for this application
Beautiful job and very picky person to work like me as contractor business owner..
Thank you so much I really enjoyed..
Thank you for watching and commenting
Important;
The ripped strip behind the bottom of your 1st course should have gaps between sections to let water drip out from behind the courses of siding. Nail it to the sill. Overhang 1st course 1/4".
1 1/4" lap is the minimum per the 2015 IRC for cementous lap siding for the courses..
Screw 1" from top edge.
First overhang should be 1" min.
Really a great job, simple instructions and not long and drawn out
thanks for watching and the friendly comment
Really great presentation and verbal communication skills....thank you.
Thanks for the supportive comment on this Hardieplank siding installation video.
When using similar materials there is no need to leave a gap for expansion both hardy board products will expand and contract at the same rate which is called modulus of elasticity.
Thanks for the comment I was under the impression the James Hardie siding install instructions suggested the perimeter spacing was recommended.
this video really helped me in renovating my house,
I plan to make the front wall of the house like that
Great to hear the siding install video was helpful for you in your house renovation projects and planning. Best of luck with your projects and let me know how the front wall turns out.
Your work is top notch
Wow Zack, thanks! Best of luck with any of your DIY project builds.
Very interesting video....Your experience give me motivation to do the same. Thanks share with us.
thank you and best of luck with your DIY build project.
Excellent presentation. God is in the details...and you covered them thoroughly.
Thanks for watching and the supportive comment.
Ah ha! Sorry, I was dumb and didn't hit the show more button. Thanks for the heads up and this is a great video.
Thanks again
Thanks for sharing your talent sir ❤
Thank you for the supportive comment.
Good job with the work, and video. I liked how you pre-built the corner trim.
Thanks for the supportive comment
This vid was exactly what I was looking for. Love the detailed info and the bum out is new to me, I enclosed my front porch but have concrete walls. Can I use tapcon fasteners to attach the planks to the wall instead?
Thank you. I think attaching wood furring strips to the concrete wall first and then attaching the siding to the furring strips is the general approach.
Cool, I was told that before and asked if i'm applying strips won't it be the same or better to screw planks directly to avoid termites? @@MrKistel
Well done mate!
thanks
Nice job man, wow and that editing had to take some time.
Wow thanks for noticing the effort that goes into the video production side of making these how-to videos. Often times it takes more effort to make the video then it does to perform the repair or build being featured.
First person i seen using screws on siding
Its cement-fiber board, so its not normal siding. You should make sure to use the specific cement-fiber screws if you use screws. This siding handnails quite nicely though.
He could have saved himself sooooooo much time if he used a nailgun
Great work
Thank you so much 😀
Outstanding! Simple and clear instructions. Im ready to plank my Tuff Shed!
Awesome, thanks. Let me know how the shed project turns out.
Great job and vid. Couple of general knowledge comments. Hardin specifically says you don’t have to reprime. Not that you can’t, but for those watching you don’t have to. This is me being a bit difficult because I’ve been in the cement products business for almost 30 years, but the word is cementitious, not cementatious. You’re doin’ pretty good though, I had one great contractor who called it cinnamentatious and he wasn’t doing it to be funny!
Thanks for the comment and insights on Hardie Plank installation
Beautiful addition, what are those boards made of. I'm guessing not wood. Why not use a saw to cut them?
This is Hardie Plank cementitious siding. In the video description I provide a link to a blade that can be used to cut the boards. The downside when cutting with a rotary blade type saw is the dust that is created during the cutting process. The dust is not something that should be breathed in by the installer or anyone nearby.
@@MrKistel Thanks, I suppose it's a fire retardant as well.
It was a great siding product for this home addition project
Very nice job
Thanks Robert the siding has been holding up well since the HardiePlank installation on this home addition.
Very informative video.
One question. Can we just use those planks as a wall, instead of a siding only?
Thanks for the comment although I am not sure I am clear of the question.
One p;iece of vertical corner trim is all you need. Then just butt the siding from both walls, and caulk. Saves time and money. Also, generally not a good idea to nail siding directly to sheathing/wrap instead of nailing to vertical strapping to provide air gap for drying being sheathing and back of siding. Prevents rot/mildew and is code in many places.
Thanks for the tips. I noticed the strapping method is common in other regions as well, it seems like a solid installation method.
I agree with the other comments, this is a god video. i have one small question, did it actually take 2-3 cuts per side with a utility knife to snap of the end of the hardy board?
Thank Mr. West. When cutting the HardiePanal with razor blade it often took several scores on each side of the panel to make for a clean snap point.
Do yourself a favor & buy replacement blades.. after a few scores - it will wear the blade out!
They make a special blade for cemintious panels for your circular saw, but it blows some nasty dust you don't want in your lungs, always wear a mask or respirator if using.
Nice job and a great video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and the enthusiastic comment!
Do you have to pre drill the lap boards to screw them on? And what type of screw do you use? Sorry if I missed that in the video. I'm about to re side my moms house and I have it all dialed in except fasteners. Might rent a coil nailer, but the screw idea would save some money maybe. Great video, thanks!
Josh, I describe the hardware used to install the siding in the video description. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your re-siding project.
Maybe I missed it but how did you rip down the length of the siding for the long cuts around the window?
Other videos: (&Mee)
Say: use an angle grinder w/a diamond blade/disk. WORKS well & companies make those diamond blade disks with the correct arbor hole. $12.
Joe, thanks well done looks very good.
Thanks 👍
Great job, to make it easier, just make up a jig, to space the boards. More accurate than measuring each one..
Thanks Dave, I probably would have made a jig for the Hardi plank siding pieces to be cut if it was a larger project and I was confident everything was square and plumb.
Very nicely done! Good job!
Thanks for watching and comment on the "Installing Fiber Cement Siding" video
Straight to the point, great vid!
Thanks Carlo!
Love the video! What kind of screws and what length are you using for the trim and for the siding. I see most video tutorials using nails but I'd prefer screws since I don't have a nail gun.
Thanks, the screws and other materials utilized for the siding installation are referenced in the video description area.
nicely done. a coil nailer speeds up the process if you are looking for production. also check out "gecko" siding clamps for perfect reveals
great tips, I provide a link to clamps in the video description
according to another video by 'authorized hardie plank installers', there is supposed to be a 1/4" clearance around flashing around and 1/8" from edges.

Nice job!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks good I like the corner assembly before attaching it to the house makes good sense because the clowns that built my house didn’t have a framing square.
Best of luck with your project.
Why not use corner tabs and staples as hardie designed and makes?
What are the corner tabs?
I am currently getting ready and can't find these at home depot or lowes.. where do they sell these??? Can you share a link?
Excellent video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it and share it! May I know length, width & square footage of the patio?
Thanks for watching the exterior siding install video. Be sure to check out the other videos pertaining to the project in the video description. The length and width was about 10' X 12' and created an additional 100sqft or so of living space.
@@MrKistel I watched them all - very inspiring ! Thank you!
Would be interested to see how many of these boards are cracked in a year because they were screwed instead of nailed
why would the screws be an issue?
@@MrKistel we use nails cause they flex and bend screws don’t so with movement of the house and expansion and contraction screws would be more likely to crack the boards since they don’t have the flexibility of a nail.
Thank you for the video! Is the trim the same dimension throughout or did you use different dimensions for corners and openings? What were you dimensions of the trim? I love the whole look!
Thanks Karen, I believe the trim boards were 3.5 inches in width and 3/4 inch in thickness. I used the same trim throughout however a wider Hardie Panel board up where the soffit meets the exterior wall.
Very well made video
Thanks for the supportive comment on this siding installation video.
Short and sweet, great video thanks
awesome comment, thanks
Good stuff
Appreciate it
Very good video Joe !
thanks John
Good siding job
greatly appreciate the comment
So satisfying watching this come together. What color of blue is that? I think it's so beautiful.
Thanks for the comment, I don't specifically recall the name of the blue but it turned out well. Thanks again.
Hi, great video. What did you do with the exposed corner beams? Originally they were able to be seen because you poured around them but now it appears as if there is cement around them...?
Thank you. If you are referring to the bottom section of the original post they were left exposed.
@@MrKistel in your hardy plank thumbnail it looks like their exposed but in the pics with blue ext they look covered so I was just wondering.
Cool vid man, what would you recommend to fill in satellite bolt holes in siding? I'm pretty sure it's hardie plank.
Awesome work
Thanks for the supportive comment
What did you do with the old walk through to the outside?Did you make a wall and a door?Did you leave old patio door?
Check out the video description to see videos of the rest of the project. In short I removed the sliding door to make an opening to the new living space.
How do you drill the planks onto the wall?
1) do you predrill the planks and the wall first, say if it's a brick or concrete wall
2) how do i measure the correct length of screw to use to secure the plank onto the wall?
3) if it's a concrete or brick wall do I need to use plugs in the wall (for the screw) when mounting the plank to the wall?
Sorry for asking too much, I m new to this but I am dying to do this since I can't afford to hire professionals
Thanks in advance e for your advice
Sounds like you have an ambitious siding project in the works. If you are putting siding over a masonry type surface it may be best to mount strips of wood to the wall with appropriate anchors into the concrete, brick, etc. The wood strips become studs essentially that you can mount the siding to.
@@MrKistel thanks again
Isn't it better to put the trim boards over the planks where they meet on corners then butting them up against the trim boards like you did, that way there's less possible gaps?
I prefer the method I demonstrate in the video when it comes to installing house siding trim corners using Hardie siding materials
Looks great. What color and paint brand is that?
Thanks, I mention the siding paint color in previous comments. I want to say it was bungalow blue or something along those lines. Take a look at previous comments to confirm.
I wish you showed how to do those 90 degree inside cut-outs using the score and snap method... after all, what could go wrong for a novice? And is there a glue you can use on your furrring strip in below-0 temperatures?
Thanks for watching and just check the adhesive manufacture's label regarding temperature limitations.
Great video!
Awesome, hope it was insightful incase you have any house siding install projects in the works.
Not using gauges? Not nailing 2" galvanized nails on the nail line? Not using a proper starter strip? What am I missing.
yeah I thought all those things as well. But coming from a carpenter, it's easy to look right away and see what I'd do instead
NICE WORK BRO! GOOD TEACHING AS WELL!
Thanks for the comment Derek!
I like the videos and have looked at your supply list but I don't see any info on the final exterior color you went with. Can you let me know what color you decided on? It looks like a gray to blue which I'd like to get a sample and try it on my house. I'm looking to make a change myself. Thanks the addition looks great and I wish I could put Hardie plank on my house but that will have to wait, for now.
Thanks for watching the new room addition construction videos. I apologize but I do not recall the color of the paint used. I will try to do some digging and see if I can find it. If I so I will update the video description. Thanks again.
Outstanding job 👍 👏 👏 👏
Thanks for the supportive comment James.
Great job and great looking siding too. Did you use the 9.25” high siding with the 8” reveal?
Thank you Andrew. I think the Hardie Plank dimensions was 8.25"
Good job !!
Very useful information
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great instructions. Should come in handy when I tackle this next week. By the way, can you tell me the paint color you went with?
Thank you and best of luck with your wall siding project. Let me know how it turns out. I cant' recall the siding paint color off the top of my head but I believed I provide an answer in previous comments.
Great job 👍
Thanks Greg, The siding on the new room addition still looks great.
@@MrKistel looks good
I've learned some things
Good job
Thank you for watching the house siding install video. If interested check out the other videos (links in the video description area) showing the entire room addition project.
Amazing job
awesome, thanks
Nice video, but what did he do on the bottom outside corners? They had gaps all the way up to the last few seconds of the video, and then we're magically resolved with no explanation.
Busy Beaver Remodeling. If your talking about the post face, looks like it was filled in with concrete. Could have just screwed some cement board and skim coated it to blend. I’m sure there’s many ways to finish that. I’m curious to know too
what did you do to cover the base of the 4x4 posts? I see one looks covered with concrete at the end of the video and other other is open, but photoshop?
the bases of the 4X4 post were left open to avoid trapping moisture.
How did you fasten the hardie boards in between windows? Did you have to add extra studs? Or are you just fastened to the sheathing?
I should have been hitting the window framing studs. There was not much open space between the windows with all the window framing studs.
I fear my studs are behind my trim board. Any recommendations?
Very informative. Great use of the utility knife to prevent dust.
You made it look easy.
Question. Would you install this siding on a block wall?
Thank you
Thanks for watching and the comment. You could install it on a block wall if you wanted. I have seen it done with using wood blocking to attach to the block wall and then securing siding to the blocking.
Its wonderful but plz tell me how did you attach plank to the wall?
The siding was attached to the to the wall as shown in the video using the screws shown in the video description text. I hope this answer your siding install question.
I see where you say that you use finish head screws for the trim pieces, but I'm wondering what you use for the lap boards. Are you using trim heads for that also, or the hardie backer board screws or something totally different? Thanks!
Josh, check out the video description area. I include the hardware utilized for the Hardie siding installation there. Thanks.
Nice video....pls gv details of all tools are used for fiber cement board, with address and price
Thank you , please see the video description area for details on the tools used for this type of house siding installation video.
What are you attaching it to? A siding gun would speed you up by five times... I know it's about $150 used or new for small brand. I would imagine the time you would have saved and reselling it if it's a one time use thing.
Secondly, aren't they already primed? Why prime again?
The siding was attached to the wall sheathing (plywood) and wall framing (2x6).
Hi there, great video on the install. I am hoping you can help with an idea how to install finishing balcony walls and posts. I have the walls figured out but your help on above would be appreciated. Thank you
Thanks for reaching out. Feel free to shoot an email (address in about section)
Is it just brick behind that paper or did you put in some furring strips framing wood drilled into brick 1st?
This spaced was framed and wood sheathing was added prior to the insulation of the exterior siding. See the previous plywood sheathing install video here.... th-cam.com/video/MshTywiDSmk/w-d-xo.html
It's a good video but I wish you could zoom in the details like the bump out, screwing etc... I m completely new in this work but dying to do my balcony wall
Thanks for the comment. please let me know if you have any specific questions about some of the details I may have missed.
Great job!
Thanks!
Great video thanks
Whats the material of the wall where you stick the hardiflex? Is it would or fiber cement wall?
The siding is cementations based and it is attached to a plywood wall sheathing.
Is there supposed to be metal flashing above the windows that goes under the siding?
I used a flashing tape around the windows prior to installing the siding. See the link to the "Installing Windows" video in the description of this video to see how that was done if interested. Thanks
You should invest in a table bud
Great siding install tip. Thanks
What type of primer was used to prime the ends of each cut? Oil based or water based? Also, what was the primer that is suitable for cementious siding?
Hey Scott, the primer used on the cuts ends is provided in the video description area. The primer used to paint the naked siding before the colored paint was a primer found at a big box home supply store. I do not recall the specific brand but it was a quality product that mentioned it was intended for such use.
Thank you for the reply. I don't see the product in the description. Specifically the spray paint that was being used to spray /prime the ends of each cut. I do see the primer used to prime the siding, but not the ends that were sprayed.
On a second note, what size screws where used for the siding trim (which I think is 2-1/4" - I see listed above in the description) and the siding planks?
did u use screws instead of the recommended nails, that need to go through the 2x4's ?
The screws were appropriate for this particular siding application.
@@MrKistel what screw did you use?
@@illmatic33 hardware and materials used are described in the video description area.
It's nice to see Al Bundy using his skill and talent to do some work around the house...
Nobody vertically straps the house to create an air gap to allow water to drain out and moisture to dry out.
Yes that seems like a common practice in other countries and likely a good idea
Nice!
Do you not have any tools? You’re supposed to nail the siding and why are you “cutting” with a knife then snapping them
That is the correct way as per manufacturer requirements
What color paint did you use for the siding??? We plan on painting our house from pale yellow to a blue.
I can't recall the paint color of the siding off the top my head but I do mention it in a comment below.
Awesome video and great demonstration. I'm curious why you found it necessary to use primer even though the boards are factory primed?
Thanks for the kind comment. I figured the primer would make for a better overall paint finish and protection. Most resources I came across recommended using a good primer suitable for cementatious surfaces. I think somewhere I saw a comparison of the painted finish with and without primer and it was a noticeable difference.
@@MrKistel thanks for the reply. That's good to know. I looked in JH installation manuals but it wasn't clear about using a primer so I didn't think it was needed. But hey, if it looks better, then why not? Thanks again. Cheers
