Replace rotted siding

A carpenter will charge $174 to replace a 6-foot section of damaged wood siding, but a handy homeowner can do the job for $40. You'll need replacement sheathing, siding, siding nails, wood preservative, caulk, primer and paint or stain, and scraps of wood to use as spacer blocks. For tools, you'll need an electronic studfinder, keyhole saw, hacksaw, pry bar and tape measure.
