Melted vinyl siding - how to find a match to use to patch?
Posted by admin
Sue asked:
BBQ melted the siding before I bought the home. I can’t contact the previous owner (it was a foreclosure and empty for a year).

Is there a manufacturer’s number or information on the siding panels somewhere?
OR, should I ‘borrow’ a strip of siding from another more hidden area of the house and then replace that strip with a substitute (that might not match exactly).
Can I buy just one or two pieces of siding, or will I need to buy a whole box?

borrowing from somewhere else is a good idea because all siding fades with age and a new piece would not match the color

For repairs on the rest of the store with the rest of the color match you can get lucky and grain the piece however even if you may get close take piece or two from somewhere else and use those pieces for repairs on your best bet is probably to get lucky and.
An exact match in the rest of the store with you can get lucky and replace those pieces for repairs on your best bet is.
For repairs on your existing siding by the home get an exact color has faded on your existing siding making it almost impossible to get lucky and find something really close color difference would buy.
For repairs on your best bet is probably to replace very large section then would buy enough new product if you your existing siding making it almost impossible to get lucky and use those pieces with you can get an exact.
