Replacing Dry Rot In Wood Siding 

Where we live it rains over 300 days per year...so leaks can turn into problems fast...when we repair any wood siding rot here, its always Best to use z flashing inbetween the pieces..and always make sure you primer and paint the edges of the new wood before nailing it down...this stops water from soaking into the edge..mainly the bottom edge..

Thanks for sharing. This is exactly the instructional video that I was looking for.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing

This video was incredibly helpful. thank you!

Should have replace the whole panel, more joints, more leaks. Never go cheap on caulking.

I would have liked to see the ending result of painting.

Great video! Thank you!

Great. job Kid . Awesome Idea . My Shed looks the Same . 💪💪👌👊😎

Thanks- I have Dry-rot in several areas on my home as well. I was looking for what type of saw to use to cut out the wood paneling and replace a section.

Great job!

Great Job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Should have replaced the entire panel. If you going to do a patch panel Z flashing should have been used at horizontal cut line vs caulk. I would have used a circular saw with a piece of wood fastened to house as a guide to keep the cut as straight as possible. The oscillating tool would only be used at the end of the cuts to complete them.

I have some rot on 3 panels of my mobile home. I’m hoping to do this technique and then add some trim over the cut to cover the area and add a little decorative look to the house.

I always use "" Z "" trim on the cut areas. You don't, so to each his own !!!!!!! Prime and paint all edges, top - bottom - left and right sides !!!!!!! 👍

I replace the rotted sections with PVC boards that I router to the correct thickness. Once painted and caulked it looks like it has always been there and never a problem with rot again.

Thanks for the vid!

You can actually pull the nails from the lower part of that panel, pull out from the bottom and slide a 2x4 above where your cut will be then mark your cut mark and take your skill saw and set the depth so that it cuts just over the thickness 3/8" and saw right across it. Much quicker and straighter. 👍

I've watched a few videos and looks like you forgot your flashing behind the cut you did so water will drop off ?

I have always heard that you should use flashing if repairing midway or similar in a panel. I’m not sure what they do at the top if you replace the entire panel?

good video. thanks!

Cool 😎

Thanks

No z flashing?

Why not replace the whole panel?

Forgot to use z-flashing to prevent water damage.

What's the name of that tool you use to cut the siding

Where did you buy this panel siding?

What type of siding is this?? Mines exactly the same and I need to replace a few pieces

Surprised you didn't use duct tape across that horizontal seam... ROFL

thank you for your helpful video. can you tell me where do you buy this panel?
