What is the easiest way to install vinyl siding on a 2 story house?

Posted by admin
justcurious asked:


I am going to be removing the vinyl siding on my house to repair and replace some of the sheathing behind it, as the contractor used 1/2″ blue foam insulation instead of OSB, per N.C. code. I need to know what is the best and safest way to reach the 2nd floor area and gable. Ground to peak is about 30 feet. Anyone have suggestions for what they use on new construction of homes?

      Definitely rent the scaffolding, or rent a lift basket unit. Trying to work off a couple of ladders is not safe. It is worth the cost for safety.
