Key Takeaways:

1.  Measure siding for replacement or bring an old piece of siding to lumber yard so they can match the current siding specs.

2.  Using a hammer and nail puller remove the nails on the piece of damaged siding you'll be replacing.

3.  For the last row of siding you will not be able to use a nail puller if the nails are set beneath the surface.  Instead, cut the nails from behind using a sawzall.

4.  If the old boards remain intact, lay them up next to your new board to measure your line and cut with a circular saw or a miter saw.

5.  Measure the reveal or what's exposed on the current siding.  Match this reveal and install your new siding.

6.  Fasten first nail, measure the other side of the reveal and fasten your second nail.  Fasten all of the remaining nails.

7.  Cut out old caulking and replace with new.
