Siding fails gradually and quietly — moisture works into sheathing for months before interior symptoms appear. Most property owners never know their cladding system is failing until the repair scope has doubled. Our Duluth, MN inspection specialists use calibrated pin-type and non-invasive capacitance meters, close-range panel assessment, and documented moisture mapping to give you an accurate picture of your building envelope before you buy, sell, or commit to repairs.

Customer Reviews

What Duluth, MN Customers Say About Our Siding Inspection

★★★★★

The moisture map — actual readings by location on the wall face — was the evidence when the seller's agent tried to dispute the findings. Numbers don't argue with opinions.

R. & T. Holcomb

Duluth, MN|Duluth, MN homeowner

★★★★★

Post-hail inspection documented 47 impact-damaged panels across three elevations. The insurance adjuster's walk-around had found eight. Our claim was for 47. The photo report was the difference.

L. Wu

Duluth, MN|Duluth, MN homeowner

★★★★★

Pre-listing inspection found minor paint failure on the north elevation that the buyer's inspector absolutely would have flagged. Fixed for $400 before listing. Buyer's report came back clean on siding. No credits, no negotiations.

FAQ

Siding Inspection FAQ — Duluth, MN

The diagnostic tools are the differentiator. Non-invasive meter scanning identifies elevated moisture behind panels without drilling. Without that tool, a moisture investigation is limited to what's visible — which is almost always the downstream symptom, not the source.

Annual inspections on any exterior cladding over 15 years old are cost-effective in Duluth, MN — catching failed caulk and minor fastener movement at the annual visit costs far less than the water damage these small failures cause if left unaddressed.

If the inspection identifies repair work you engage us to complete, the inspection fee is credited against the repair project cost — ensuring the inspection report is an objective assessment, not a sales tool.

Yes — non-invasive capacitance meter scanning identifies elevated moisture behind panels without drilling or cutting. The meter detects elevated moisture in the wall assembly and flags zones for confirmation with targeted pin readings at accessible points.

The inspection and repair are separate service decisions. Our goal on the inspection is the most accurate assessment possible. What you do with the information is entirely your choice.
