An apparatus ( 100 ) for aiding in the installation of successive horizontal layers of siding members ( 150 ) to a sidewall construction ( 50 ). The apparatus ( 100 ) also aids in the sealing of the seams between successive horizontal siding layers. In the exemplary embodiment of the invention, the apparatus ( 100 ) is used to aid in the installation and sealing of siding members ( 150 ) comprised of a fiber cement composite material. The fiber cement composite siding members ( 150 ) are heavier than traditional siding pieces and require more than one person to lift for installation. With the use of the apparatus ( 100 ), successive horizontal layers of composite siding members ( 150 ) can be installed on the sidewall construction ( 50 ) by a single person. One or more sealing members 207 secure and seal the siding members ( 150 ) to the apparatus ( 100 ) and provide a moisture impervious seal between the seams of successive layers of the horizontal siding members ( 150 ).
