Vinyl siding is a popular home siding material but it has some limitations. It is prone to impact damage (the photo shows damage due to a hail storm), it buckles if not installed correctly, and it melts when exposed to extreme heat like from a BBQ too close to the siding or a fire.
It also becomes increasingly brittle as it gets cold and is especially susceptible to impact damage in the winter. But even in the summer if a baseball or golf ball hits it, your vinyl siding can break or crack.
Then what do you do? With colors and textures often not found in nature, matching existing vinyl siding can be hard to achieve. And without knowledge of how to separate the strips of siding with a zip tool, you'll never get them apart.
Well, don't worry. I'll show you how to repair damaged vinyl siding for under $10 (if you have spare siding material). And I'll also let you know where you can find discontinued siding styles and colors so that repair looks great!
