Video Transcript

"Hi, this is John on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip I'll be taking you through our siding project. The side of our house has a lot of problem areas where the siding has become rotten and began to rot through and show mold. What we're going to be doing today is removing our trim boards and our old siding and we're going to be checking it to see if there's any mold damage underneath. After that what we're going to need to do is put up new siding. We're going to have to prime it and paint it so that it matches the existing siding and then we'll have to put our trim boards back on and by the time we're finished it should look like a brand new side of the house, but it should tie in with the other sides nicely."
