Good day Ladies and Gents, My name is Jeremy and I am a homeowner working my way towards finishing a remodeling project. Over the last year, I have completely gutted and refinished my house on the inside. I am now living there, and I'm turning my attention to the outside. Below is a picture of what this thread will be dealing with...
So, as you can see I have already replaced the roof. The next items on my list are siding/soffit/fascia.
First off, I've never dealt with anything from the roof down aside from boarding up/installing windows (I apologize for my ignorance). That said, I'm not sure where to begin. I have purchased the siding (Vinyl Siding, DBW45 Pebble Clay D/L). I have just recouped from that purchase and will be purchasing the soffit/fascia and 1/4" fan fold insulation....stuff.
So what comes first? Do I start with the soffit/fascia and then attack the siding? or vise versa? My assumption is to start with the soffit, so until told otherwise - I'll start there.
Currently, the soffit looks to be 1x with a couple vents per side of the house. I plan to purchase perforated vinyl soffit. Obviously I will need to cut out the old 1x. When I cut the old stuff out, how do I fasten the new stuff? Do I need to start with the fascia first? I've not seen fascia yet, so I'm not sure how that installs either. Will that just slide under the drip edge from the roof? Will I nail through the drip edge to attach my fascia?
Here's a couple close up pics of what we are dealing with...
I'll stop there as I don't want to wear out my welcome. I promise to update the thread with progress pics. I really need the help of people who have done this before...
Thank you, Jeremy
