Most siding problems start small and hidden. Water slips behind a panel at a missing flashing, soaks into the sheathing for a few seasons, and by the time it shows outside, the damage runs 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 imaging works best when there is a clear temperature difference between inside and outside, and moisture readings are most telling a day or two after rain.

A detailed check of a home's siding before closing, with a report useful for negotiating.

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 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 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 order makes budgeting simpler and helps during a sale negotiation.

What does a siding inspection include?
It covers fastening, panel condition, clearances, flashing, caulk, drainage, and moisture testing at suspect areas, plus a written report with photos.
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 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 report usually arrives soon 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 Baiting Hollow?
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.
