Siding Inspection in Dunkirk, IN

The Siding Inspection, Wall by Wall

A careful inspector follows the same route every time, typically starting at the front and circling the house. 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. All of it is photographed and summarized in the report.

The report ends with priorities. Urgent problems such as active leaks or missing flashing are listed first, then repairs for the coming year, then maintenance like resealing. That ranking makes it easier to budget and to negotiate during a sale.
