Top Piece Of My Vinyl Siding Keeps Blowing Off

The most common mistake homeowners make is nailing the vinyl siding too tight.

Top piece of my vinyl siding keeps blowing off. The upper piece doesn t seem to want to hook in the lower piece and stay. Vinyl siding is a heavy duty and comparatively maintenance free material applied to the home s exterior. I ve got a piece of vinyl that keeps coming off my house and i can t seem to get it to stay on. When i was doing this i used a 2 piece crown mold trim at the top.

Homeowners can hire a contractor to replace the missing siding or purchase necessary materials and repair the siding themselves. One part nailed to the wall very much like you did for the starter rail and the second piece snapped into it holding covering the top of the vinyl siding. I get it back in place but then it keeps coming out whenever the wind blows wit any force. While durable strong wind gusts can loosen the material causing it to fall off the side of homes.

Many contractors just use j channel in either the same color as the siding or in the same color as the trim. 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. The nail slots in the siding were not torn the siding pulled the nails right out. 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.
