- Q.I am remodeling in a
development in which the houses all have mitered
outside corners on beveled siding. How can I match this
detail without inviting failure?
A.In the interests of
keeping the original appearance, I would wrap an
18-inch strip of roofing felt around the corner so
that any leakage through the joint would not reach
the sheathing or corner post. The mitered ends of
the siding should be sealed with paint as they are
applied, and the finished joint
caulked.
