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.

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.
A clean inspection report can also be a selling point during negotiations. 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. 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.
The full walk typically takes under two hours depending on home size.
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.
Pre-purchase inspection found moisture behind a wall the seller's disclosure never mentioned — saved us from a bad surprise.
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.
