Most siding problems start small and hidden. Water gets behind a panel at a missing flashing, sits in the sheathing for a few seasons, and by the time the outside looks bad, the damage is already deep. A siding inspection exists to catch it early.
A thorough inspection walks every elevation and checks fastening, panel locks, clearances to grade and roofs, kick-out flashing, window and door flashing, caulk joints, J-channel drainage, and penetrations like vents and hose bibs. The contractor tests suspect areas with a moisture meter and, when conditions are right, uses a thermal camera to spot hidden moisture.
You get a written report with photos, a list of problems in order of urgency, and an honest opinion on whether the siding needs repair, maintenance, or replacement. Keep in mind this is a siding contractor's assessment, not a licensed home inspection, and it focuses specifically on the exterior wall system.
Timing helps. Thermal scans work best with a strong indoor-outdoor temperature difference, and moisture readings tell the most a day or two after rain.

How a Siding Pro Works Through an Inspection
A methodical inspector works the house in the same order every time, usually starting at the front door and moving around clockwise. On each wall, they look at the siding from a distance first to spot waves, bulges, discoloration, and gaps, then move in close.
Up close, they check panel locks and fastening, test for brittleness, measure clearances at grade, patios, and roof lines, and look for kick-out flashing at every roof-to-wall joint. Windows and doors get extra scrutiny for head flashing, sill condition, and whether caulk is standing in for missing flashing.
Moisture readings are taken under windows, at inside corners, below roof intersections, and wherever siding looks stained or distorted. Gutters, downspouts, grading, sprinkler spray, and vegetation touching the wall are noted too, because they often explain what the meter finds. All of it is photographed and summarized in the report.
The report closes with clear priorities. Urgent problems such as active leaks or missing flashing are listed first, then repairs for the coming year, then maintenance like resealing. That order makes budgeting simpler and helps during a sale negotiation.

What does a siding inspection include?
An inspection checks fastening, panel condition, clearances, flashing, sealant, drainage, and moisture at suspect spots, with a written photo report.
How is a siding inspection different from a home inspection?
A general home inspection covers the whole house at a high level. A siding contractor's inspection zeroes in on the exterior walls, usually with moisture testing. It does not replace a licensed home inspection.
How long does a siding inspection take?
Usually one to two hours, depending on size, height, and the number of suspect areas. The written report typically follows shortly after.
Can a siding inspection find hidden water damage?
Meters and thermal cameras can spot hidden moisture without removing siding, though confirming it sometimes requires a small inspection opening.
How much does a siding inspection cost in Durham?
Cost depends on the size of the house, wall height, and what is included. You will know the fee before the visit, and repairs are priced separately.
When should I get my siding inspected?
Good times include before a purchase or sale, after big storms, before a warranty ends, and anytime you notice interior stains or wavy panels.
