Siding Fastener Solutions
Different siding materials require different fastener types. Vinyl siding requires nails with large heads that allow the material to expand and contract. Fiber cement siding requires corrosion-resistant fasteners that can withstand the alkaline chemistry of cement board. Wood siding requires stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to prevent black staining from tannin reaction. Steel siding requires self-drilling screws designed for metal-to-wood fastening.
For each siding material, we carry the appropriate fastener types in the lengths, gauges, and coatings that building codes require. Our team can help you select the right siding fastener for your specific material, substrate, and environmental conditions.
Beyond fasteners, we carry the cap staple systems that modern building codes increasingly require for house wrap and foam board attachment. These systems drive a staple through a plastic cap, which distributes the holding force across a larger area and provides superior wind resistance compared to bare staples.

- Air compressors sized for siding crew demands
- Siding tools including snap lock punches and unlock tools
Fastener Selection by Siding Material
Vinyl siding requires nails with large heads (minimum 5/16" diameter) that hold the material securely without cracking. Nails should be driven loosely to allow for expansion and contraction — driving the nail head tight against the siding will cause buckling as temperatures change. We carry roofing nails and cap nails that meet these requirements in lengths appropriate for various vinyl siding profiles.
Fiber cement siding requires corrosion-resistant fasteners that can withstand the alkaline chemistry of cement board. We carry electro-galvanized and stainless steel siding nails specifically designed for fiber cement applications. For face-screwed fiber cement installations, we carry specialized fiber cement screws with trim heads that can be filled and painted.
Wood siding requires stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to prevent the black staining that occurs when standard fasteners react with the tannins in cedar, redwood, and other wood species. For coastal environments, stainless steel is strongly recommended for its superior corrosion resistance in salt spray conditions.
Pneumatic and Cordless Siding Nailers
Siding nailers are specialized tools designed for the specific demands of siding installation. They feature wire-coil or plastic-collated nails, adjustable depth control for consistent driving, and large-capacity magazines that minimize reloading. We carry pneumatic siding nailers from Bostitch and Senco, the two brands most trusted by professional siding contractors.
For siding contractors who prefer cordless tools, we carry cordless siding nailers that eliminate the need for hoses and compressors. These tools are particularly valuable for jobs where setting up a compressor is impractical — small repair jobs, upper-story work, or remote locations where power isn't readily available.
Proper air supply is critical for consistent siding nailer performance. We carry Rol-Air and California Air Tool compressors that are sized for siding crew demands. We can help you match your compressor to your nailer and crew size to ensure consistent operation.
Contractor Support for Siding Contractors
Siding contractors who open accounts with us get access to volume pricing on siding nails, cap staples, and other siding consumables. Our ContractorHub portal provides order history and quick-reorder capabilities for the fasteners you use on every siding project. We also offer scheduled delivery routes that bring siding fasteners directly to your jobsite.
Our tool repair service keeps your siding nailers running at peak performance. We stock common replacement parts for fast turnaround on siding nailer repairs. We recommend that siding contractors schedule preventive maintenance during slower periods to ensure tools are ready for the busy season.
Frequently Asked Questions
What nails should I use for vinyl siding?
Use roofing nails or cap nails with large heads (minimum 5/16" diameter) driven loosely to allow for expansion and contraction. Driving nails too tightly will cause buckling.
Do you carry stainless steel siding nails?
Yes, we stock stainless steel siding nails for wood siding applications where corrosion resistance and stain prevention are critical, especially in coastal environments.
Do you carry cap staple systems for house wrap?
Yes, we carry cap staple systems that meet modern building code requirements for house wrap and foam board attachment in high-wind areas.
Do you carry pneumatic siding nailers?
Yes, we carry pneumatic siding nailers from Bostitch and Senco, along with cordless siding nailers for jobs where compressors are impractical.
Can I get contractor pricing on siding supplies?
Yes, contractor accounts include volume pricing on siding nails, cap staples, and other siding consumables. Contact us to set up an account.
