Putting Siding On Second Story Exterior

Does that make sense.

Putting siding on second story exterior.

Installing siding on taller homes. This is one of the most crucial steps in installing vinyl siding. Second story exterior walls typically go up first followed by interior load bearing walls and then interior partition walls which do not bear weight. A two story house can be somewhat intimidating and if it happens to have a walk out basement installing siding on that high rear wall may appear downright scary.

Installing vinyl siding over wood siding. This will allow movement when it expands or contracts. You can use aluminum j for all of the soffit area and use a vinyl j where the siding is on the outer edge. You are not going to set it hard.

Set your nails about 1 8 to 1 16 away from the wall. Not to worry if you don t have a problem with heights there is some equipment that can provide an assist in getting the job done. Never nail the siding to your house hang it.
