Siding Installation TipsPresented by:

Hide the seams so they are not visible in the

areas where you spend most of the time.

Use a wider starter strip to keep bugs and

moisture out.

Cap the corner posts to keep pests out.

Keep panels tight by pulling up as you nail. This will prevent siding

from flying off.

Overlap top J-panels in order to channel the

water infiltration.

Use a vinyl siding saw blade to get clean

cuts.

Flash the bottom of windows to channel the flow of water.

Install longer panels first because they aren’t as easy to

adjust later.

Make sure to compensate for expansion and

contraction when you overlap siding.

Install kick-out flashing to channel

water runoff.

Crimping and caulking the bottom lip of the top

course will add extra security.
