I like how real the video is. "Hit the damn thing"....actually showing your helper mess up nails & how to do it correctly...really relates to all of us teaching & learning, don't change!
at 36:31 "the bottem hear never clipped". Boy, to someone like me who has never done anything like this before, these are the priceless bits of information that I really appreciate. H
Some day your son will be grateful for the wealth of knowledge you are passing along. Things like this don't get "taught" in trade schools. Hands on and only from a meticulous trainer. Bravo!
I have a feeling he is already appreciating it. Cheers for the thought! It would be nice to get old and have folks around you that have nice things to say!
Not to sound rude, but if he is in a trade school why isn't this stuff shown? I did a building trade (Associate Degree) and we built an entire house for final. Learned all the hands on from foundation to peak of house. Do they not teach like that anymore? Did the cabinets, hand tools, power tools, siding, roofing, flooring, trim, etc...
That's exactly what I thought. While watching this I thought about how lucky that young man is to receive this kind of instruction. I'm grateful that Jeff also puts these videos up, but I'm sure Max is learning even more between takes.
Needed to replace 3 pieces of damaged siding on the back of my house. Got a quote for $2,300 from a local contractor. Watched this video and sourced the tools and materials myself. Total investment: $43. Learned two lessons today: 1) always watch the RenoVision video, 2) never call that contractor again. You are so great at giving people the confidence to tackle projects that look intimidating. Thank you.
I seriously have learned more in an hour than a year working on fixing up a house I'm looking to flip. You're really great at teaching. That's for sure!
You are very good at explaining everything step by step & loved all the tips! Great job again Jeff! I watch all of your videos & learned a lot! Keep them coming! Thanks!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌
This information will ne helpful so if you buy a home in the future you wont fall for the lazy inspectors who miss a ton of stuff and you wont get conned
Your are living proof that instructional videos can be entertaining. Sometimes that is the only reason I watch some of your videos and I get to learn in the process. Thumbs up my Northern Brother, and God Bless.
Thank you so much for your attention to detail. We just bought a home in South Carolina which is a fixer upper and I am doing a bunch of work on my own. My parents owned an interior decorating business so I comfortable with what I will be tackling on my own. But I do know my limits and will be calling in the professionals for the electrical and some of the plumbing. You are the best!!!!!!
As a tradesman, been around the block, trained many people, no questions dumb and every little thing needs to be explained, it’s easy to leave out a step because a person knows what they are doing, but this video is great for all levels of skill. I try and remember when I knew nothing and basics are the most important thing. Also there is nothing more satisfying than having an apprentice have “ah,now I understand”, when the light bulb goes off you know you have taught well.this video shows that nicely. We all had to learn what we know. Keep up the great training.
I wish there were more guys with your mentality on the job site. Too many act like new guys should somehow already know what they're doing. They're called apprentices for a reason.
I like that you are showing us your mistakes as well and fix them in front of the camera (both of which you could have easily edited out). I will probably never do this kind of home renovation but I like watching your videos. Keep it up :)
Love your videos and it is so practical without leaving out any steps. My husband might not like you as much, because your videos give me the courage to tackle project after project. Keep them coming!
Another informative video, not only showing the 'hows' but explaining the 'whys'. Thank you for sharing! Regarding the overlap - wind is surely a factor to be considered, but also.... we usually overlapped so that the butt end of the overlapped piece isn't visible from the main focal points ie. the entry door or as you approach the home. (makes the joints sort of 'disappear')
Definitely do your research and homework. Roofing and siding is an area you should let professionals deal with. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take a shot at it to save some money. Good luck man!
I had absolutely zero intension to watch this video from start to finish because I was looking for a quick fix. However, here I am at the end disappointed that there isn't more. You have a gift. Keep that shit up, dude!
Every time I see you I think you are just a salesman, because of how you dress and talk, but your knowledge and skills are a master level. It is easy to see you know exactly what you are doing and know all of your jobs inside and out
Hi there I just wanna say that this video helped me with my shed I’m doing it was verry help ful two thimms up would have never known how to do it befor watching this video
I love the way Jeff shows the mistakes, proving he is not perfect and no project actually always goes to plan. He also explains things clearly, showing the details instead of glossing over them so there is no 'experienced pro magic'...very glad i found this channel! Thansk Jeff!
Just make sure that you don't follow in the footsteps of a man; be sure to exert more effort to remain feminine. Hopefully you won't take this personally, it's just that we have an enormous, enormous, enormous problem with women completely forgetting what it means to be a woman. The majority of women even dress more like men than women. So, 90% of my reason for writing this is that particular problem. So, to any women who might stumble upon all the DIY videos men publish, don't neglect watching videos on "how to be feminine" and "how to be ladylike". You'll notice that such women aren't hammering nails into wood and wearing hardhats and tool belts. Also, don't forget that you can use your feminine charm to ask a man to do these things for you. It's men who started doing these things in the first place, anyway.
I was also taught when determining your overlaps, depending how the house sits on the property from the street, that you should try and have the overlaps facing away from the street so your not looking at all those hard edges. Easy to do on the sides of the house obviously but tricky on the front.
Exactly. Or if you have a main entrance, lap so it's not seen when walking in. Especially true in the commercial end. Been at it for over 42 years, commercial and residential. Commercial is always ACM architectural panels.
I love your videos because you break it down so the common DIYer can get some good ideas to start and finish a project. Hardie Siding would take the punishment harsh Canadian Winters. I used to live in Washington State and the winters would be punishing to a structure.
Thank you SO much! I've learned so much from this video. I was SO frustrated & confused as I've watched other videos that I wanted to give up and hire someone. You've given me confidence to do it myself! We're going to install siding to our mobile home.
Seeing you and your son working together remains me of my father and son moments when I was following my father around watching him at his craft. Thanks for the memories. Great video.
Man! I just bought a house with vinyl siding and wanted to know how it worked... Not only do I know how it works, I now know how to repair some of the areas of concern. Such a worthwhile hour!!! Keep it up!
I have ended up watching hours of you! Thanks for even sharing your mistakes! We are all human and this human is a lady trying to do all this. Lol! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! Especially watching, so thanks a million!
You are the Canadian Ron Hazelton the only difference is that you explain everything for us to understand and it’s great because I’m in Canada also and we don’t follow his advice the weather will destroy your home 😂😂🇨🇦
In all the years of hanging vinyl siding, we've " never " put seams where a full panel can be installed. The cut-offs can be used somewhere else as starters or finishers. If it's too keep your cost down which would be very little, so be it. Last, mitered J-channels at doors, windows, etc. makes for a nice custom job. I like the color.
no worries. I get the choice. On this house there was no place to use the leftover and it isn't even seen from the street. I am not too worried. Cheers!
I completely agree I cut my finisher left over is the starter for every row you have no waste also never a seam over a door over window with the exception of garage doors big windows
@@deedeedodu I'm only 17 minutes into the video, but so far he seems to be gentle about correction. I haven't seen anything that calls for speaking as though he is being overly harsh or impatient. I'll continue to watch to try and see what made you write that.
Unbelievably helpful. I had no idea how siding was put together. Loved the nailing tips. Big difference between two hard whacks and a bunch of little peck. And how to hold the nails to guide well and protect my fingers. I was watch these everyday for pleasure and learn so much. Guess I'll need to write a clause in that I want to see work before the next step covers it. Is that okay to write in with out losing my contractor? I had NO idea how much I didn't know!!!!! I drained my hot water heater with no idea about the rest of the steps. Guess it was better than nothing. My friend said she had never drained hers in 20 years! Of course, most things were made better and last longer years ago. See pictures of ancient cars in Cuba and Mexico that are put together with bubblegum and bailing wire and running right on down the road. We look for old refrigerators for our church camp cabins. Use Tham one a year for only a week and they outlast the owners. Mama died at 101 and hers is still cooling and making ice tray ice every year and I am 78. Thank you, Jeff!!!!! You are so cute. Luv you. I am going to Google soffit cause I have no idea what that is.
Vinyl siding, the most worthless invention since the Corvair. Sure they all tell you that you can add Beauty to your house, warm colors easy to install. What they're not telling you is that it is an insect Haven. If you want ladybugs, spiders, red wasps and dirt-dobbers, by the masses definitely install vinyl siding. One of the best things I like about vinyl siding is that it just hides over rot rather than fixing its broken boards...rather than fixing it bad paint.... rather than just fixing it. Almost as if you don't see it, then it doesn't exist, all while your actual house is rotting. When we first Bought our 150 year old house it was covered in worthless vinyl siding. Every room was full of ladybugs wasps millions of dirt dobbers. We literally had an Eco environment made under the vinyl siding. The ladybugs would hide from the winter by the Millions, the spiders were there to eat the ladybugs, the dirt dobbers were there to get the spiders. And the red wasps got everybody. After ripping it off and painting front of the house not one single ladybug not one single wasp no, not one single dirt-dobber. However on the side where it still exists, there are still Incredible amounts of insects. Spending the rest of the day ripping it off now. So go ahead listen to the advertisements how warm nice vinyl siding is what a wonderful product it is as for myself I will run from it
hey Jeff, just wondering, why did you throw away a seemingly perfect looking exterior door? I would have bought it off of you on craigslist for ~50$ change! honest.
@@TMD4343 After a time, trying to pack up, hall off, store odds and ends etc becomes a massive hassle and cost. Many cases simply just not worth it unless someone will come pick it up from jobsite. Time is money, space is money.
You're an excellent teacher and leader, that was exactly what i was looking for, really good informative videos, looking forward for your other videos, like your humour, Thanks to you!
Thanks for such a helpful and informative video. I just finished vinyl siding my shed and wouldn't have been able to do it without this video. It looks great thanks to all this great information from a skilled professional. I wouldn't hesitate to try doing my house now. Thank you!!!!
Awesome video. I did siding years ago and made some of these mistakes and never thought of the preventives/ remedies you showed here. Thanks for the tutorial. #muchlike.
Of the first two videos that popped up, one guy was wearing a polo shirt and kakis, and the other, a winter cap, polo, gloves, a coat, and kakis; I assumed the latter was about to work and was the better overall choice 😅 Thanks for the video, great info.
Not sure if this was mentioned in the comment but the little red squares on the tyvek are used to line your studs up with so they are easier to find when nailing your siding.
Your video on this siding was absolutely awesome!! My daughter and her husband are tackling this siding task tomorrow. Watched this video a couple of times to try to soak in all you offered in it. Taking the clip with me so I can refresh if needed. Thank you for taking the time to post this on TH-cam!
I have never seen a video on how to install vinyl siding before so this video taught me a lot. The most important thing I learned is that the job must have sex appeal.
Lots of good advice and tips. All the little details and extra care make all the difference for an effective installation. You won't go wrong with this tutorial. Take your time and do it right. Excellent video.
17:53 Gets educated on how to hold a nail. Apprentice: "I guess when you where my age, you didn have airnails" Best answer ever in 3 2 1 "No, we all need to know how to use skills" Apprentice: Then holds the nail wrongly.
I am here for knowledge on an old home that we might side, but I think I might do my shed as well. My whole house and garage were done before purchase, but they didn't do the shed!
Is there a video of this project being finished up? Particularly curious how the cement board part was installed. And is there a reason why you didn't remove the super old siding too?
Hi Alex, The video showing the entire exterior is still in production. We will have elements of the cement board and how we finish it for sure. The old siding is actually structural when it comes to balloon framing as it transfers load from 1 stud to another. It also acts as a home skin just like osb would so I thought it would be best to leave it since it was dry and hard. we don't get termites up here so wood tends to outperform in a colder climate. Cheers!
"You might be asking"... "If we start with the worst possible scenario" It's like there's a hidden webcam in front of our house...lol!! Thank you again!
Just got an idea regarding nailing the siding. They ought to make nails with a depth gauge or washer. Or you could use some standard and nail to your heart's content and then remove. That way they would all be consistent. (I have never done any side but feel it coming on) The washer would have to be a poly material..slippery.
I agree. Very cool. He was showing off a little bit, but he has the right. After all, look at all the ‘whoops’ of electrical tape he has wrapped around his skilsaw cord. Not the first time the man has cut a board quickly! I once had a foreman tell me and others NOT to sacrifice ‘speed’ for ‘efficiency’. However, if you can do both, you should. This man has earned his stripes. BTW, Carhartt coats run one size too big, so buy a size smaller. Cheers
I just got home from work and 1/4 of my siding was hanging from one side of the house. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these awesome videos and allowing me to fix it myself!
About to help my cousin with siding on his business building and wanted to learn before giving a hand haha (we both don’t know shit, we are helping the builders just so we can learn for the future)
If I am going to be hammering a lot of nails a certain distance apart, I use one of the marks on my hammer grip as my measurement. Just put the hammer head on the previous nail and put the next one under your mark. Hammer and repeat.
What you don't need is to use the Name of the Lord in vain over trivial little building matters. Why do you feel the need to disrespect the Lord for nothing but a few likes on TH-cam? Dude, He is the King of Kings; the Lord of Lords and all power in Heaven and earth has been given unto Him. And the entire judgement is in His hands. He is not a baby in a crib anymore. It will be wise to show some respect!
@@Jeffro_333 Thanks. I've got all the advice I need..! All the wisdom from the Ancient of Days who created the whole universe and fills it with marvel and wonder!
I love the flashing section with Matt making little mistakes that you show him how to overcome. Those were great little tips, that I found helpful. The little insights, and thoroughness of your walk throughs is what sets your channel apart from the other DIY channels! Thank you.
you talked about making sure how you nail to prevent buckling. however, when you cut the panel for the overlap you made it so tight that there is no room for expansion between the nailing tab of the pieces. I installed vinyl siding for over 30 years. I was surprised on how well you did almost all of the installation. there are a lot of people online giving out very bad info on this. oh, why in the world are you both using such monster framing hammers to do this work? it is like using a framing hammer for custom cabinet work. keep up the good work. robert
This is fine as long as the wall doesn't get regular high wind and rainstorms. Anyone who hasn't done siding before doesn't even notice the overlaps on vinyl siding.
I just have to say. Matt putting those nails in his mouth gives me the renovation willies. lol! we were ALWAYS taught in shop class to never put nails or screws in your mouth. I guess its just habit when i see other people doing it then I feel like i should say something. HAPPY RENOVATING

Why stagger the siding instead of putting in full pieces?
Ahh….back when plywood could be purchased on a single income…
That would be funny if it wasn't way to close to reality. Some poor kid would need to get a bank loan to build himself a bicycle ramp anymore.
Yea now im paying 70-100 bucks for one sheet of half Inch

We literally had an Eco environment made under the vinyl siding. The ladybugs would hide from the winter by the Millions, the spiders were there to eat the ladybugs, the dirt dobbers were there to get the spiders. And the red wasps got everybody.
After ripping it off and painting front of the house not one single ladybug not one single wasp no, not one single dirt-dobber. However on the side where it still exists, there are still Incredible amounts of insects. Spending the rest of the day ripping it off now.
So go ahead listen to the advertisements how warm nice vinyl siding is what a wonderful product it is as for myself I will run from it
hey Jeff, just wondering, why did you throw away a seemingly perfect looking exterior door? I would have bought it off of you on craigslist for ~50$ change! honest.
Amen recycle when ever possible
@@TMD4343 After a time, trying to pack up, hall off, store odds and ends etc becomes a massive hassle and cost. Many cases simply just not worth it unless someone will come pick it up from jobsite. Time is money, space is money.

You're an excellent teacher and leader, that was exactly what i was looking for, really good informative videos, looking forward for your other videos, like your humour, Thanks to you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, following your instructions my wife and I were able to start siding our tiny house. We are almost done.
I have a brick house so most of this info is irrelevant to me. But watched the entire thing anyways because I watch all your videos. Thanks, Jeff!
Cheers RJ, we appreciate the time you take to watch and comment.
Haha same! This is the greatest home improvement channel I've come across.
Some people put siding on brick houses. I don't know why, other than mental illness. However, I've seen it...
@@brandonhorwath6351 just for more insulation other than that for looks lol
Thanks for such a helpful and informative video. I just finished vinyl siding my shed and wouldn't have been able to do it without this video. It looks great thanks to all this great information from a skilled professional. I wouldn't hesitate to try doing my house now. Thank you!!!!
This Guy should open a Carpenter's School or something. I'd gladly pay the tuition.
Awesome video. I did siding years ago and made some of these mistakes and never thought of the preventives/ remedies you showed here. Thanks for the tutorial. #muchlike.
Great job educating on the installation of vinyl siding. Thanks a bunch!
this video is way too long. my class is watching the whole thing and it’s miserable. it is not sexy.
"Now hit the damn thing" well spoken words....
Nice nailing tips! And yes, these skills definitely are lost on the youth nowadays... Thank goodness for TH-cam am I right?
Now more than ever the younger generation need to be more self sufficient. Cheers!
Pro no gloves apprentice gloves on...🤔
@@supremozx1z110 I only wear gloves when doing siding when it's cold enough that not wearing them would make my fingers fall off.
Of the first two videos that popped up, one guy was wearing a polo shirt and kakis, and the other, a winter cap, polo, gloves, a coat, and kakis; I assumed the latter was about to work and was the better overall choice 😅 Thanks for the video, great info.
Not sure if this was mentioned in the comment but the little red squares on the tyvek are used to line your studs up with so they are easier to find when nailing your siding.
Your video on this siding was absolutely awesome!! My daughter and her husband are tackling this siding task tomorrow. Watched this video a couple of times to try to soak in all you offered in it. Taking the clip with me so I can refresh if needed. Thank you for taking the time to post this on TH-cam!
I bet this project went well. These videos are better than any other on TH-cam. Any update you can provide us? Thanks.
There's just something great about starting my morning with some coffee and some Home Reno DIY projects.
The best part of waking up....is Home renovision in your cup!

I have never seen a video on how to install vinyl siding before so this video taught me a lot. The most important thing I learned is that the job must have sex appeal.
You are a true professional.
Haha 17:00 that comeback “no we needed skill back then” was so fast, love it
9:40 yeah

I have been working that boy real hard so it is nice to see him a little worn out. Cheers!
Lots of good advice and tips. All the little details and extra care make all the difference for an effective installation. You won't go wrong with this tutorial. Take your time and do it right. Excellent video.

This is perfect timing for me.Going to be puting siding on my shed. Thanks Jeff!
That is a great way to finish a shed. cheers!
It's not a sheshed is it those things catch fire
I am here for knowledge on an old home that we might side, but I think I might do my shed as well. My whole house and garage were done before purchase, but they didn't do the shed!
not too tight or snug
enjoy watching your videos so talented and educational
bro. bravo. got a artist here
Is there a video of this project being finished up? Particularly curious how the cement board part was installed. And is there a reason why you didn't remove the super old siding too?
Hi Alex, The video showing the entire exterior is still in production. We will have elements of the cement board and how we finish it for sure. The old siding is actually structural when it comes to balloon framing as it transfers load from 1 stud to another. It also acts as a home skin just like osb would so I thought it would be best to leave it since it was dry and hard. we don't get termites up here so wood tends to outperform in a colder climate. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thank you!!
appreciate the clarification
I just started watching and am only 11 minutes in, but I greatly appreciate the explanations behind what is being done. This is great!.

It's like there's a hidden webcam in front of our house...lol!!
Thank you again!
LOL, just the way she likes it. Cheers!
This dude is the truth love it man!!
Just got an idea regarding nailing the siding. They ought to make nails with a depth gauge or washer. Or you could use some standard and nail to your heart's content and then remove. That way they would all be consistent. (I have never done any side but feel it coming on) The washer would have to be a poly material..slippery.
Thank you for your time and effort in these videos for us DIY ers
happy to help cheers!
I have to voice my appreciation of the speed and straightness of the rip cut at 6:55.
I agree. Very cool. He was showing off a little bit, but he has the right. After all, look at all the ‘whoops’ of electrical tape he has wrapped around his skilsaw cord. Not the first time the man has cut a board quickly! I once had a foreman tell me and others NOT to sacrifice ‘speed’ for ‘efficiency’. However, if you can do both, you should. This man has earned his stripes. BTW, Carhartt coats run one size too big, so buy a size smaller. Cheers
@@snarfblattscuttle Master efficiency, and relative accuracy, and the speed will come to you naturally.
I just got home from work and 1/4 of my siding was hanging from one side of the house. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these awesome videos and allowing me to fix it myself!
yea same for mine the guys did a poor job
God bless u brother- that nailing technique will definitely save my knuckles
About to help my cousin with siding on his business building and wanted to learn before giving a hand haha (we both don’t know shit, we are helping the builders just so we can learn for the future)
If I am going to be hammering a lot of nails a certain distance apart, I use one of the marks on my hammer grip as my measurement. Just put the hammer head on the previous nail and put the next one under your mark. Hammer and repeat.
sounds reasonable. Cheers!
“No we all had to learn how to use skills” 😂😂

So is it possible to use this work for concrete houses
You are so, so good. Very good in explanations...

Dear lord baby Jesus. Here's the video I've been waiting for. Thanks boys!

What you don't need is to use the Name of the Lord in vain over trivial little building matters. Why do you feel the need to disrespect the Lord for nothing but a few likes on TH-cam?
Dude, He is the King of Kings; the Lord of Lords and all power in Heaven and earth has been given unto Him. And the entire judgement is in His hands. He is not a baby in a crib anymore. It will be wise to show some respect!

I love the flashing section with Matt making little mistakes that you show him how to overcome. Those were great little tips, that I found helpful.
The little insights, and thoroughness of your walk throughs is what sets your channel apart from the other DIY channels! Thank you.
Excellent video! You answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks
Very good video, I learned a lot. Thank you so much
I really want to see the finished siding work
coming soon. Cheers!
You threw the pretty door away?
The truth is I am not an avid wood worker and keeping things like that around creates a lot of trash. Cheers!
Did you see the lock on that door. It looked kinda of expensive.
Yes, so did the pretty glass!
Thats what I was thinking. Doors are couple hundred and the lock alone on that door looked like another couple hundred. Im a cheap person lol
It looks a lot like my front door hah. Only $900 CDN, no big deal
Dont drive yours nails home when puting up J need to be able to move with expansion and contaction.
NOT TRUE JUST SIDING DRIVE IT HOME
Really did a great job explaining everything, thank you!
Is that a diamond blade in your grinder?
yup! a continuous rim so it isn't dangerous and makes a nice clean cut. Cheers!
Glad you asked that question. That's what I was wondering.
Thank you, I just spent 10 minutes scrolling through comments with replies to try and find the answer to this question.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY maybe this isn't relevant for siding, but is it a Diamond blade for ceramic or metal
you talked about making sure how you nail to prevent buckling. however, when you cut the panel for the overlap you made it so tight that there is no room for expansion between the nailing tab of the pieces. I installed vinyl siding for over 30 years. I was surprised on how well you did almost all of the installation. there are a lot of people online giving out very bad info on this.
oh, why in the world are you both using such monster framing hammers to do this work? it is like using a framing hammer for custom cabinet work. keep up the good work.
robert
He mentions in the video that its a hot day. It starts off looking cold but when they switch days the kid is wearing shorts
When it comes to overlaps, I was taught overlap away from doors. so when you are at the door and look you don't see the overlap.
Or, away from the road...
I usually overlap away from the driveway. In a back yard I overlap away from the the deck.
This is fine as long as the wall doesn't get regular high wind and rainstorms. Anyone who hasn't done siding before doesn't even notice the overlaps on vinyl siding.
Jeff is my spirit animal lol
I just have to say. Matt putting those nails in his mouth gives me the renovation willies. lol! we were ALWAYS taught in shop class to never put nails or screws in your mouth. I guess its just habit when i see other people doing it then I feel like i should say something. HAPPY RENOVATING
