    You are what the construction industry needs more of; You are a man who takes pride in what he does and approaches your craft in a professional manner. Thank you for all the informative videos.

    I'm in the construction trades and always enjoy watching this guy because he seems so real, down to earth and unpolished. I mean that in a good way.
  • @rynehh8586
    Thanks for the tips! What impressed me the most was this video was put up 6 years ago, and he still comes to comment section to answer questions to this day. That is something you never see, props to you Shannon your a good guy!
  • Thank you for the tip on screwing the J channel in from the bottom. I was going to cut 200ft of wood strips to nail them to. I didn't want to buy F channel since I already have hundreds of J channel pieces I got for free. you can tell that you really do this for a living, and are not just a company rep making a product video.

    Shannon,
    Thank you so much for this! Love your show! Never did a repair in my life until I started watching your videos. It's saving us a ton of money on our old, new home.

    Shannon, you're a true craftsman and I really appreciate the time and effort you took to share your knowledge. Excellent job.
  • Truly excellent. Every little detail was covered including how to make the fascia cover almost magically hold itself up until nailing it. I may be putting up new soffits for spring Break now!

    Thanks Mr. Shannon, your awesome videos helped so much and saved me piles of cash and time.

    Checking the fascia for square is a HUGELY important tip, otherwise it'll get crooked and then you've got problems. I love how you do the corners too! A tip on house wrap I didn't realize until after - line up the marks on it with studs! It will make siding installation much easier.

    Also in my experience, get help installing the fascia - it flexes vertically incredibly easily and the upper edge can get caught on anything sticking out on your fascia board. Then if you don't see it and put screws in, it bends and looks crummy.
  • It's been said a million times but seriously, your videos are fantastic. You explain things very well and it's greatly appreciated. I've viewed many of your videos for guidance and always feel confident I do things and do them well after I watch them. Keep up the great work and again, thank you very much.

    Before installing security camera, I want to know the structure of the under-roof and exterior wall to run the cables. This video gives me very good answer. Thank you Shannon.

    Thanks, I'm a descent pipe fitter but not to good at making home improvements the right way. I appreciate you taking the time to help.
  • @amosg9736
    Awesome video! I've done a lot of renos but have yet to do soffit. Went from being very unsure to very confident in 15 mins. Thanks for the detailed vids!
  • Thanks for your videos. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. My husband and I built a garage this summer with the help of your videos. We are novices and couldn't have built the garage without your instructional videos. The garage looks great! Thank you!
  • @AlbertaDaver
    Hey Shannon, great videos man! Helped me get through my garage build! thanks for the helpful tips, because sometimes the hardest part of a project is getting started and your videos are a great push in the right direction!
  • @umchoyka
    Fantastic, thank you. That trick with bending the soffit up at the corner is a great tip, I'll definitely be doing that on our project as well.
  • @Unforgiven11
    Im a new home owner who bought a major fixer upper and have been learning as I go. I ripped apart our rotted edge boards of our garage yesterday and this video here pretty much has me all set to finish it up after work this afternoon. Thanks!
  • @xoJulie87ox
    I recently became a secretary for a construction company mainly dealing with roofing and gutters so I've been looking for videos that would help me better understand exactly the difference between soffit, fascia, leaders etc. being that I had no prior construction experience. Just wanted to say thank you for this video, you are a great teacher and extremely easy to understand, I really enjoy your tutorials. Almost make it look as though even I could do it ;) Thanks again!
  • Thanks Jason looking forward to seeing your video.....oh ya, you don't have one thats why you are watching mine.
    Everyone does things slightly different,this is how I was shown as an apprentice and thats how I do it.
  • Run a white silicon on the corner, caulk always turns brown if you don’t paint it. Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
