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 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 contractor tests suspect areas with a moisture meter and, when conditions are right, uses a thermal camera to spot hidden moisture.
You receive a written report with photos, problems ranked by urgency, and a straight answer 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 matters. Thermal scans work best with a strong indoor-outdoor temperature difference, and moisture readings tell the most a day or two after rain.

The Siding Inspection, Wall by Wall
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 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. Everything is photographed and summarized in the written report.
The report ends with 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.

- Buyers with inspection deadlines
- Homeowners getting ready to sell
- Post-storm damage checks
- Builder warranty checks

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 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?
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 Geneseo?
Pricing varies by house size, height, and scope. You will know the fee before the visit, and repairs are priced separately.
When should I get my siding inspected?
Before buying or selling, after major storms, before a builder warranty expires, and whenever you notice interior stains, peeling paint near windows, or wavy siding.
