kruton Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 That looks good man. Unfortunately I have that same project in my very near future. What type of siding did you have on before?Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteW Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 looks like a lot of work but it looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPSElias Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I had large (12in reveal) cedar shakes with some sort of fiber matting in between rows. Yes it's a lot of work but I am at the home stretch (for now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see it as an excuse to buy new tools!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPSElias Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Yep, I started purchasing tools as soon as I put in an offer, the savings I'm getting alone for doing the windows and siding myself will pay for all tool purchases I have made with left overs.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hathatyl Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Nice don! Was that wood siding before or asbestos cement siding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Looking very good man! I have to get my siding done too, I think I might sub it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPSElias Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hatters512: The siding was large cedar shakes with some fiber board in between the rows which is where a lot of my issues started as this was harboring enemies.....I mean insects! I declared war on termites, carpenter ants, Yellow Jackets/Wasps, and bees. Now with the fiber cement board it's a big FU to them lol. Poisonfangs85: I looked into subbing it out but the cost savings was HUGE! in the order of tens of thousands of savings $20-$30K. When I got the quotes I was shocked that's 8 times the material costs, especially since the house was already stripped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Time to spray some algeacide on that one section of the roof, if what I'm seeing is indeed algaeSent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 May need to get some of those strips of metal that go under the last run of shingles. They stop algie from growing and you don't have to go on the roof once. Like magnesium or galvanized. Something, I can't think of what it's called or type of metial. Maybe zink Millerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 You have to clean your roof before you put on the zinc strips on too. It only prevents mold and stuff. Maybe worth a try? I think it last 20 years or something like that? Millerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 For installing with new shingles, yes. But if you already have shingles installed and come back later to put the zinc strip in, use the strips you get in 3' pieces I think it is, they're semi rigid and can slip under the edge of the shingleSent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
