When cutting the siding around doors and windows it is best to use a 12" snips to cut the panel
across, and when cutting the panel lengthwise it is best to use a power shear or utility knife. Panel
cutters are also available but are not cost eective for just one job.
Doors and Windows
Cutting Siding
When applying siding around a door, you rst
need to put J-channel on both sides of the door
and a piece across the top of the door much
like you do with windows. It is typical to put a
piece of ashing at the bottom corners of the
door and extend the ashing under the door
unless you have room to get a piece of siding
beneath it. This will depend on what type of
steps or stoop you have on the house.
It is also a good time to install a new brickmold
cover, residential and door jamb trim. Color
matched brickmold should be installed before
the j-channel is attached around the door.
