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.
Calibrated moisture meters check suspect areas — around windows, at seams, near ground level — for trapped water. Multiple readings are taken per suspect area, since a single reading can be misleading if the meter contacts an unusual spot.
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. Reports include photo-referenced findings keyed to specific elevations for easy adjuster or underwriter review.
Know what a buyer's inspector might find before you list, and address issues on your own terms and timeline. A prioritized punch list separates cosmetic items from anything a buyer's inspector would likely flag as a real concern.
After hail or wind events, we check for damage that isn't obvious from the ground, including hairline cracking. We compare findings against known storm dates and hail size data for the area when available.
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.
If repair or replacement is needed, we can provide a separate estimate for that work.
You receive a written report with photos and findings, typically within a day or two of the visit.
Pre-purchase inspection found moisture behind a wall the seller's disclosure never mentioned — saved us from a bad surprise.
Pre-listing inspection gave us a punch list to handle before buyers ever walked through.
Post-storm inspection found hairline hail cracking our own eyes completely missed.
Moisture reading confirmed a suspected leak near our chimney flashing that two other contractors had dismissed.
Flat-rate pricing means no incentive to inflate what we find.
