Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A home's appeal depends a great deal on its exterior paint or stain, brick- and stonework, siding, trims, and other details - and it's not just the type of finish that's important, it's also how well the job was done. This first-ever compilation by Fine Homebuilding on the popular subject provides builders with ideas for choosing the correct finishes for home exteriors, plus solid how-to information.

About the Author
"Fine Woodworking "was launched in 1975 in response to the lack of quality woodworking resources available. With a circulation of 287,000 woodworkers of all skill levels, the magazine has become the #1 source of how-to information on techniques, tools, finishing, and inspiration.
Since 1981, the pages of" Fine Homebuilding" have inspired and instructed people who care about quality of home improvement and construction. With a circulation of more than 300,000, the magazine is the premier source for information on how to build projects better, faster and more efficiently.

Kevin Ireton is editor at Fine Homebuilding, a leading publication on home design and building based in Newtown, CT.

3.0 out of 5 stars Been there, read that, August 22, 2005
I gave this book three stars because it is basically a rehash of articles that have appeared in Fine Homebuilding in the past. No wait, it's not a rehash, it's exact copies of articles that have appeared in Fine Homebuilding in the past. Maybe they said that in the description and I just missed it, but as a religious reader of FHB, I felt a little cheated. If you don't read FHB on a regular basis, bump the review up to 4 1/2 stars.
The articles are well written, but if you're looking for a step by step primer on how to start with a bare exterior wall and put up siding, this is not the book for you. What it does do is give you several different contractors thoughts and ideas on how to put up siding.
Some of the information is transferable from one siding type to another, some is not and only applies to the siding being discussed in the article.
In the future, I will only buy Taunton books, specifically the By Pros for Pros series, that are written by a specific author, not one that lists editors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well written, easy read. Missing some details, October 17, 2004
I picked this up when I was starting to do a cedar lap siding job and I wanted to get some tips. The book is very well written as are all the (For Pros By Pros) series of books seem to be.

It gives you a lot of details on exterior siding but doesn't spend much time talking about the most effecient way to do it. Not many tips for saving time or calculating waste or total material.

I don't regret getting this book, it gave me a starting point. Having moved from hardi-plank I wasn't totally prepared for wood siding with this book.
