22 years of doing siding and I’m still learning new things. This is the first time I’ve ever capped a post this way. I thought about these bends and this concept while trying to fall asleep a couple of years ago but never tried it. There are ZERO visible fasteners with this method and it relies on the spring tension of the metal to keep it secure. Once the second piece is clicked into place, you will require a mini pry bar to be able to remove it. The columns at my rental house were faced with p

I don’t really like installing vertical siding compared to horizontal siding mainly because it’s slower. You have to trim and flash everything all the way up first, then set yourself up at a height where you can reach the top and bottom of the siding. With 12’ pieces, you end up going up and down for the whole wall. But after the wall is complete, that’s where the satisfaction kicks in. For board and batten, you always want to allow more room to expand down then up. In this case, the box of sidi

I used to run my siding business using a truck instead of a van, but for the last 15 or so years I’ve been team van. Though not as “sexy” as a truck, it is much more efficient for me. Loading up some loose supplies like in this video took seconds with nothing to tie down. I can fit 14’ material on the floor easily and 4 x 10’ sheet goods on the floor. In the winter everything in the back stays dry and locked. It’s almost like when you have kids and consider driving a mini-van because of all the

This video shows my thought process as I side a wall with a few different sections. I start out with the longest pieces first. The first section is over 11’, then I put in the little pieces to carry the siding lines to the corner using smaller pieces I’ve saved from earlier. Next up is the 9’ section, checking around the corners to make sure the lines are matching. I know that I have many 3’ pieces to install around the other corner, so I’ll save the waste from the 9 footers for that. Doing the

Knowing the pitch of the roof makes things easier. I’ve shown several methods of finding the roof pitch if they aren’t listed on the building plans, or if you’re on a remodel. Once you know the pitch, you can use the markings on the speed square to your advantage. Note, the method used in this video assumes the fascia factory end is 90 degrees, so check that. If it’s no a 90, the you can put the fence of the speed square against the edge and put a pencil mark at the “6”, then draw a line from th
