Some tips for professional vinyl installation include:
According to the narrator, vinyl siding should be pre-painted with a single coat on the face and edges before being nailed to the wall. This saves on paint and time, which is essential whether siding is installed DIY or by a professional.
According to the narrator, it's essential that the installer pre-mark studs because this is where the vinyl siding will be nailed. The installer can't see the studs for homes with builder's wrap, but they can use a stud finder.
Vinyl siding will move slightly due to the weather and other factors. For this reason, it's vital the installer leaves a quarter of an inch space on both ends to prevent buckling.
