The video, "How to Replace Damaged Vinyl Siding | Ask This Old House," provides a detailed guide on replacing vinyl siding. The segment introduces the project and highlights the importance of updating vinyl siding due to its age and lasting durability.
Replacing vinyl siding starts by cutting out rotten material and surrounding trim boards, snapping off any nails, and removing the remaining nails by drilling them. Next, the house siding is removed by cutting away the old siding with a circular saw. After removing all of the old sidings, home siding contractors will use a power sander to remove any nails still sticking out. Throughout this process, constant attention is paid to the manufacturer's instructions.

After completing any additional work that needs to be done before installing the new siding, the new siding is cut and nailed in place. While the home siding contractor installs the siding, the process of matching up the siding pieces and securing them together is studied. The work of applying caulk along all of the cut ends of the vinyl siding is also examined.
Next, the siding underlayment and house trim boards are nailed in place. The project's final step is applying house paint over the siding and caulking.
