Repairing Damaged Vinyl Siding

Even though vinyl siding is pretty resilient it does sometimes break, crack, or fall off do to wind. Well then how do we replace the broken piece? It's pretty easy and with about an hour you can have a new piece up to fix the broken one, or have that one piece that fell of due to wind damage back up.

Well first off we will talk about the new siding that we have to purchase, if you have some extra laying around, great you can use that, but if you don't then you need to go to the store and find the same color siding that you have on your house.

Depending on how long the siding has been up on your house and the color of it, you might notice that the sun has faded it a bit. Well here are a couple things that you can do. find a piece that isn't very noticeable and put the new piece there and used that piece to fix the damaged part. If you don't care then you can just replace that piece with the new piece.

We are going to need a tool called a zip tool. you can get them at siding distribution stores or your large home improvement store. You are going to use this tool to remove the siding from one another and the when the new siding is on you use it to put it back together.

Rather then explaining the whole process and having you be completely confused, I came a cross a video that does a great job explaining how to use the zip tool, and also shows you the proper way of removing the vinyl siding and replacing it. click here to watch the video.
