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 is designed to catch that early.
A complete inspection covers every side of the house, checking fastening, panel locks, clearances, kick-out flashing, window and door flashing, sealant, channel drainage, and penetrations. The pro uses a moisture meter at suspect spots and, when conditions allow, a thermal camera to look for moisture patterns behind the siding.
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. Note that this is an assessment by a siding contractor rather than a licensed home inspection, and it focuses 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 side they first scan from a distance for waves, bulges, stains, and gaps, then get up close.
Close in, they check locks and nailing, test for brittleness, measure clearances at the ground, slabs, and roof lines, and confirm kick-out flashing at each roof-wall junction. Windows and doors get special attention: head flashing, sill condition, and whether caulk is doing a job flashing should be doing.
Moisture readings are taken below windows, at inside corners, beneath roof intersections, and anywhere the siding looks stained or wavy. 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 items like active leaks or missing kick-out flashing come first, followed by repairs that should happen within the year and routine maintenance like caulk renewal. That ranking makes it easier to budget and to negotiate during a sale.

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 home inspection reviews the entire house broadly. A siding inspection by a siding contractor focuses deeply on the exterior wall system, often with moisture testing. It is not a substitute for a licensed home inspection.
How long does a siding inspection take?
Most take an hour or two depending on house size, height, and how many problem areas need testing. The written report typically follows shortly after.
Can a siding inspection find hidden water damage?
Moisture meters and thermal cameras can detect moisture behind siding without removing it, though some findings may need a small test opening to confirm.
How much does a siding inspection cost in El Sobrante?
Pricing varies by house size, height, and scope. The fee is confirmed before the visit, and any repairs are quoted 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.
