Wall Siding damaged / pieces missing
-
- Prepare the area – Remove any remaining damaged siding pieces and debris. Inspect the underlying house wrap/sheathing for damage and repair as needed.
- Measure and cut replacement siding – For wood siding, cut new boards to size to match existing. For vinyl, cut with snips to fit.
- Install starter strip – If needed, nail new metal starter strip along the bottom, level with the existing siding.
- Attach the new siding – Align the new piece with the surrounding siding. Nail wood boards into the studs or use adhesive for vinyl.
- Fill seams – For wood siding, use exterior wood filler along the seams and sand smooth. For vinyl, use vinyl cement.
- Paint or finish – For replaced wood siding, prime and paint using exterior grade paint to match existing. Vinyl may not need painting.
- Caulk edges – Once dry, caulk all seams between new and existing siding with exterior acrylic caulk. Smooth for water seal.
