Professional Siding Inspection
in Pittsburgh, PA. Know Your Envelope.

A professional siding inspection is categorically different from what a general home inspector delivers. We spend 90 minutes to three hours on the exterior alone, with diagnostic tools and the specific expertise to identify early-stage failure before it becomes expensive damage.

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

Annual inspection caught failed caulk at a rear wall penetration completely hidden behind a hose bib. Fixed for under $300. The inspector showed me how to monitor that location going forward so I'm not catching it blind next year.

The report's separation of Critical, Moderate, and Monitor deficiencies made prioritization easy. I knew which items to fix before listing and which to disclose as maintenance items. That structure saved me from over-spending.

FAQ

Your Siding Inspection Questions Answered

General home inspectors cover 20+ building systems and typically spend less than five minutes per exterior elevation from a distance. A dedicated siding inspection covers the exterior alone in 90 minutes to three hours, with close-range panel assessment, calibrated moisture meter readings at a systematic grid, caulk probe testing at every accessible penetration, and assessment of housewrap integrity at soffit edges and window flanges.
Annual inspections on any exterior cladding over 15 years old are cost-effective in Pittsburgh, PA β€” 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.
Professional siding-specific inspections in PA typically range from a few hundred dollars for a basic assessment to more for larger properties requiring full elevation moisture mapping. We provide a fixed fee quote when you schedule, based on home size and story count β€” no hourly billing surprises.
We've identified active sheathing moisture on Pittsburgh, PA properties where the exterior surface appeared completely intact and the interior walls showed no staining. Finding it at that stage means a targeted repair rather than a major wall reconstruction.
Yes, we can complete repair work identified in the inspection report. However, the report is yours regardless of whether you use us for repairs β€” it includes enough specificity for you to get competitive repair quotes from any contractor.
