Introduction
Vinyl siding is the most fragile of all siding materials and besides melting when exposed to extreme heat, it will become brittle in cold weather. When cold, it is especially prone to impact damage such as cracking and breaking apart. Repairing small sections of vinyl siding can be an expensive proposition if you have a repair technician come out for a house call, costing $300 or more for the repair.
However, you're going to learn how to make the repair for a small fraction of that price. And if you have the spare section of vinyl siding and don't have to buy it, this repair will cost you less than $10.
