Top Piece Of My Vinyl Siding Keeps Blowing Off

Vinyl siding is a heavy duty and comparatively maintenance free material applied to the home s exterior.

Top piece of my vinyl siding keeps blowing off.

When i was doing this i used a 2 piece crown mold trim at the top. Even more importantly the top row of siding needs to be finished properly to prevent water from getting behind the vinyl and damaging the house. I get it back in place but then it keeps coming out whenever the wind blows wit any force. Vinyl siding will expand and contract when the temperatures change.

The advantage to using vinyl siding on the exterior of your home is you will not need to paint it as frequently and it is easy to repair using only a few tools. There were wind gusts of up to 65 mph recorded at a nearby airport about a month ago which ripped off a total of about 100 sq feet of my vinyl siding in two separate areas of my house. The most common mistake homeowners make is nailing the vinyl siding too tight. The upper piece doesn t seem to want to hook in the lower piece and stay.

Homeowners can hire a contractor to replace the missing siding or purchase necessary materials and repair the siding themselves. While durable strong wind gusts can loosen the material causing it to fall off the side of homes. Without an additional layer of siding to cover it as it touches the soffit installers must take extra steps to give the siding job a finished look. I ve got a piece of vinyl that keeps coming off my house and i can t seem to get it to stay on.
