I know on the brick part they make brackets that you can use to secure the piece of plywood. But I am unsure of how you would secure a piece of plywood to vinyl siding.

The house is one story with a gable roof and approximate dimensions are 25 ft wide and 40 ft deep.

What is a reasonable price to pay someone to put vinyl siding on the house? It is located in a far western suburb of Chicago.

Is there any place near winston-salem, nc that sells vinyl siding other then Lowes or Home Depot? I have gone to Lowes and Home Depot, but they only have white siding in a box, I want different colors, just wanted to know if there was a store that had multiple selections in one place.

How to attach a ledger to vinyl siding?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
eddie money asked:


Hi–I am building a pergola and am attaching it to the house. I am planning on attaching it to the part of the house with vinyl siding (a little lower its brick–but very uneven bricks so I think it will be easier with the siding)
So what I’m wondering is, do I remove the siding where I want to attach the ledger board, or do I just go directly onto the siding?

I know how to replace vinyl siding, but there is a small piece under the (^) shaped roof and I don’t know where to nail it.
If you have a video explaining that, it would be nice.

What is best way to remove deck stain from vinyl siding?

Monday, August 4th, 2008
Gary L asked:


One of my workers accidentally got a dark red stain on a customers vinyl siding. it’s a 10 foot by 10 foot area. I tried to powerwash it and even used a stain stripper and all it seemed to do was make it dull. I also used an sos pad and a bristle brush but they wouldn’t get into the grooves. Is there any other sort of fix I can do that would remedy this problem? some sort of white vinyl paint or something really good at getting out stain?

Monday, August 4th, 2008
imablkqueen2 asked:


I am considering doing a much needed repair on my home. It costs 23,000. The company will finance us using affordable monthly payments. What is the danger in this. Will vinyl siding boost my property value. I have the original aluminum siding on my house now and it looks horrible.
