A tool for installing siding, such as horizontally-disposed, overlapping siding is disclosed. In one embodiment, the tool comprises an elongate longitudinal portion having top and bottom end portions. A top siding-engaging portion extends from the top end portion and a bottom siding-engaging portion extends from the bottom end portion of the portion. A siding-support portion also extends from the longitudinal portion. In use, the tool may be pushed onto a first piece of siding to cause the top siding-engaging portion to frictionally engage a top transverse edge of the piece of siding and the bottom siding-engaging portion to frictionally engage a bottom transverse edge of the piece of siding. The first piece of siding can then be placed at an appropriate position against a structure above a previously-installed, second piece of siding, so that the siding-support portion rests on the second piece of siding.
