Siding problems hide behind a good-looking surface more often than homeowners expect — a proper Siding Inspection catches them before they become expensive.
We use calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect trapped water behind panels that a visual check alone would miss.
Thermal scans can reveal insulation gaps and moisture patterns invisible to the naked eye.
Equipment is calibrated regularly, since a poorly calibrated moisture meter gives false readings either direction.
Inspectors are trained specifically on siding-related moisture and structural issues, not general home inspection basics.
Reports are backed by professional liability coverage appropriate for inspection work.
Real estate transactions often have tight deadlines — we prioritize scheduling around closing dates.
Insurance-requested inspections get scheduled quickly to avoid claim or renewal delays.
Every inspection includes a clear, written report with photos, not just a verbal walkthrough summary.
Pricing is flat-rate regardless of what we find, so there's no incentive to inflate findings.
Different situations call for different depths of inspection — here's what we offer.
Before you buy, we check for hidden moisture, rot, and installation defects that a general home inspection might miss. We check age-appropriate wear against the home's stated construction date, flagging any mismatch worth asking the seller about.
We identify the likely source of moisture intrusion, not just confirm that it exists. We cross-reference exterior readings against any interior staining for a fuller picture.
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences that often indicate hidden moisture or insulation gaps behind siding. We explain thermal patterns in plain language in the report, not just raw images without context.
Reports clearly note condition, damage if present, and estimated remaining service life. We can revise report format on request if your specific insurer has a preferred layout.
Know what a buyer's inspector might find before you list, and address issues on your own terms and timeline. We can provide a redacted summary version if you'd rather not share every technical detail with buyers.
Reports are formatted to support an insurance claim if damage is found. A follow-up re-inspection is offered at reduced cost if repairs are made and you want documentation of the fix.
We'll confirm timeline needs, especially for real estate closing deadlines.
An inspector arrives with moisture meters and thermal imaging equipment to assess the full exterior.
Findings are reviewed with you on-site before the formal written report is finalized.
You receive a written report with photos and findings, typically within a day or two of the visit.
Thermal imaging showed an insulation gap we never would have found just looking at the surface.
Got the insurance-formatted report exactly when we needed it for a policy renewal deadline.
Inspector explained everything clearly on-site before we even got the written report.
Report was detailed enough that our contractor knew exactly where to focus the repair.
Flat-rate pricing means no incentive to inflate what we find.
