How to Install Vinyl Siding Around Garage Doors

- Measure the width and height of the garage door.

- Cut the vinyl siding panels to size using a utility knife or a siding saw.

-Make sure to cut the panels at least 1/4 inch longer than the actual measurement to allow for expansion.

2. Install the Starter Strip

- Install a starter strip along the bottom of the garage door opening.

- The starter strip will help to support the vinyl siding panels and keep them in place.

3. Install the J-Channel

- Install J-channel around the perimeter of the garage door opening.

- The J-channel will help to hold the vinyl siding panels in place and provide a finished look.

4. Install the Vinyl Siding Panels

- Beginning at one corner of the garage door opening, insert the first vinyl siding panel into the J-channel.

- Make sure the panel is flush with the starter strip.

- Overlap the next vinyl siding panel by 1/4 inch and insert it into the J-channel.

- Continue installing the vinyl siding panels until you reach the other side of the garage door.

5. Install the Corner Posts

- Install corner posts at each corner of the garage door opening.

- The corner posts will help to hold the vinyl siding panels in place and provide a finished look.

6. Trim the Vinyl Siding Panels

- Trim the top and bottom of the vinyl siding panels so that they are flush with the garage door.

7.Caulk the Joints

- Caulk the joints between the vinyl siding panels and the J-channel.

-This will help to prevent water from seeping behind the vinyl siding.
