ABSTRACT:
A body has a support surface for temporarily supporting a siding, trim, or other construction piece that is to be installed on a building wall. A suction cup is controllable to temporarily adhere by suction the support device to the building wall. An extendible spacer is used to accurately position the support device on the building wall. Notches in the body receive the ends of a tape measure or chalk line for accurately sizing and positioning the construction pieces. The support device can be used with existing compressors, vacuum pumps, or other suction-inducing devices. A venturi tube in the body generates the suction when an air compressor is used. A method of installing the siding, trim, or other construction pieces is also provided.
