Top Piece Of My Vinyl Siding Keeps Blowing Off

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.

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. I get it back in place but then it keeps coming out whenever the wind blows wit any force. The nail slots in the siding were not torn the siding pulled the nails right out. Homeowners can hire a contractor to replace the missing siding or purchase necessary materials and repair the siding themselves.

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. While durable strong wind gusts can loosen the material causing it to fall off the side of homes. 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. The upper piece doesn t seem to want to hook in the lower piece and stay.

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. Many contractors just use j channel in either the same color as the siding or in the same color as the trim. The most common mistake homeowners make is nailing the vinyl siding too tight. I ve got a piece of vinyl that keeps coming off my house and i can t seem to get it to stay on.
