– this creates a proper channel (who could have guessed, given the name of the material) to rest in after installation. Items like j-channel (or j-blocks) should be used around openings – doors, windows, etc.Whatever route is chosen, there needs to be something between the exterior sheathing of the walls and the vinyl siding – moisture can and will find a way behind the siding, that barrier protects the walls from further damage. During installation, a vapor barrier of some sort needs to be installed – depending on your project needs, this may be as simple as house-wrap (think of this as synthetic felt for your walls) or it may be fanfold insulation. We’ve lost track of the number of properties we’ve seen where the wrong material has been installed – it’s not uncommon in our area to remove old vinyl siding and discover bare sheathing below.If not, they will more than likely dictate installation to be performed via the standards of the Vinyl Siding Institute – more than likely, the instructions are going to be very similar (outside of any unique scenarios you may see with a particular material).

If the manufacturer of the vinyl product you’ve chosen to install has a specific instruction set, great! Be sure to follow their steps for installation.Through that time and experience, we’ve seen just about every scenario – good and bad – one could expect to uncover.īelow, we’ve compiled a list of “Do’s” and “Don’ts” for the installation of vinyl siding, whether you have Advanced Restorations performing work for you or another contractor, be sure they’re keeping these issues in mind. Sometimes we’re called upon to review work completed by another contractor, many times we’re attempting to replace a lone damaged wall for a property, and many times we’re called upon to replace siding for an entire house. At Advanced Restorations, we’ve had the opportunity to see many vinyl siding projects during the time we’ve been in business.
