Customer Reviews

Real Reviews from Siding Inspection Clients Across Andover, CT

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

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

Andover, CT

★★★★★

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

Siding Inspection FAQ — Andover, CT

The diagnostic tools are the differentiator. Non-invasive meter scanning identifies elevated moisture behind panels without drilling. Pin-type readings confirm elevated areas at accessible points. Without those tools, an inspection is a visual walk-around — accurate for obvious failures, blind to the moisture damage that's most expensive to discover after closing.

Our standard toolkit: calibrated pin-type moisture meter for sheathing readings at accessible points, non-invasive capacitance meter for scanning behind panels in suspected infiltration zones, caulk probe tool for joint integrity testing, 24" level for checking panel alignment and drainage plane, and DSLR with macro capability for documenting panel-face conditions. We also use a tablet documentation system that references each photo to its location on the building.

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 CT.

Professional siding-specific inspection fees in CT 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.

Yes — non-invasive capacitance meter scanning identifies elevated moisture behind panels without drilling or cutting. The meter detects elevated moisture content in the wall assembly and flags zones for confirmation with targeted pin readings at accessible points. We've identified active sheathing moisture on Andover, CT properties where the exterior surface appeared completely intact and the interior walls showed no staining.

The inspection and the 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 — and the report gives you the documentation to make that choice from an informed position.
