What happens here

Begin by safely removing the old white lap siding from the exterior of the garage or outbuilding. Use ladders and scaffolding to reach higher sections. Carefully pry off each piece of siding, revealing the underlying sheathing, which in this case consists of plywood on the corners and a brown felt board (Graylite) in between. Dispose of unusable pieces and save any salvageable siding for later use as furring strips.

Goal: Clear the existing exterior to prepare for new siding

Tools and materials

  • Circular Saw — Cutting stubborn or large pieces of old siding
  • Ladders — Accessing high areas of the building
  • Old Lap Siding — The material being removed and some pieces will be reused as furring strips
  • Pry Bar — Removing existing siding pieces
  • Scaffolding — Providing a stable working platform along the side of the building
