Doors and Windows
Cutting Siding
6
When applying siding around a door, you first
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 flashing at the bottom corners of the door and
extend the flashing 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-trim is attached around the door.
Panel Cutter Power Shear Tin Snips
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 that cost effective for just one job.
