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 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 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.

Routine Siding Check-Up
A periodic check of caulk, flashing, fastening, and clearances to keep small issues from growing.
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 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, sprinklers, and plants against the wall are noted as well, since they often explain the readings. Everything is photographed and summarized in the written 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 ranking makes it easier to budget and to negotiate during a sale.
Typical inspection requests
- Buyers with inspection deadlines
- Sellers preparing to list
- Inspections after hail or wind
- New homes nearing warranty expiration
- Interior stains with no obvious source

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 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 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 Everett?
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.
