How to Replace Damaged Vinyl Siding

Today I'm sharing with my secret vinyl siding weapon. It's a vinyl siding tool that costs less than ten bucks, and can save you tens of thousands of dollars in the long run! If you're working with vinyl siding you need this tool in your back pocket.
 
I recently replaced a sliding door and had to remove the siding on both sides and above the door. That little tool made it pretty easy to do even though a lot of siding had to come off the house. I plan on using it to install two door cameras, eventually, so I can get the height just right without jumping through hoops to get a CAT down to them inside the walls. One is on the eave side of the house and would be a real PITA to do.

Just be careful doing this in cold weather, vinyl siding gets brittle when cold and you can easily break it. Using the tool when the siding has been sitting in the sun a bit or a warm day is allot easier.
