A routine seal on cut edges kept a job dry during a storm

I used to overlook sealing the cut edges on vinyl siding, considering it unnecessary. After several projects with moisture issues, I began sealing every cut prior to installation. Recently, a heavy rain occurred just after we completed a side, and the client mentioned the interior remained dry. This minor practice prevents return trips for repairs, which I appreciate. Now, a sealant tube stays in my tool belt for convenience. That brief moment per cut avoids significant future trouble.

Sealing those edges probably helps with thermal expansion too, keeping the whole system tighter over time. Saves on callbacks and boosts your rep for attention to detail.
