Customer Reviews

What Ostrander, OH Customers Say About Our Siding Inspection

★★★★★

The pre-purchase inspection found elevated sheathing moisture on two wall sections that the general home inspector had called 'siding in acceptable condition.' We had the seller credit the repair cost. That inspection paid for itself many times over.

R. & T. Holcomb

Ostrander, OH

★★★★★

The written report is organized exactly the way a contractor needs it — deficiency, elevation, priority, rough cost. I gave it to three repair contractors and got comparable quotes immediately.

Y. Okafor

Ostrander, OH homeowner

★★★★★

The geo-referenced photos in the report were what turned the claim. Panel-by-panel documentation with location references is what adjusters need to approve full scope — not a count from the driveway.

C. Bauer

Ostrander, OH

★★★★★

The report's separation of Critical, Moderate, and Monitor deficiencies made it easy to prioritize what to fix before listing versus what to disclose as maintenance items. That structure saved us from over-spending on low-priority issues.

FAQ

Answers to Your Siding Inspection Questions

General home inspectors cover 20+ building systems and typically spend less than five minutes per exterior elevation, noting obvious visual deficiencies from a distance. A dedicated siding inspection covers the same exterior 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, fastener pattern checks at accessible areas, and documented assessment of housewrap integrity at soffit edges and window flanges.

The tools determine what the inspection finds. A non-invasive meter identifies elevated moisture conditions behind panels without drilling. Without it, a moisture investigation is limited to whatever is visible — which is almost always the downstream symptom, not the source.

Specific triggers: before purchasing a property (negotiate from documented knowledge), before listing (disclose accurately and fix what matters), after any hail or high-wind event (document damage for insurance before calling the adjuster), when interior moisture symptoms appear (trace the source before treating the symptom), and as an annual maintenance check on homes with wood or aging fiber cement siding in OH.

Professional siding-specific inspection fees in OH typically range from a few hundred dollars for a basic assessment on a standard single-family home 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 — no open-ended hourly billing.

The most valuable finding in a pre-purchase inspection is sheathing moisture that's elevated but not yet producing interior symptoms. At that stage, the repair scope is a fraction of what it becomes once interior drywall is affected. That finding — invisible to a visual inspection — is what the non-invasive meter exists to find.

Yes, we can complete any repair work identified in the inspection report. However, the inspection report is yours regardless of whether you use us for repairs. It includes enough specificity — panel counts, elevation locations, deficiency type, rough cost ranges — for you to get competitive repair quotes from any contractor.
