FAQs
Why is routine siding inspection important for Kingston homes?
Kingston’s climate exposes exterior walls to wide temperature swings, lake-effect moisture, and strong winds. A professional siding inspection detects early damage such as warping, loosened panels, hidden water intrusion, and failing sealant before these issues spread to sheathing, insulation, or interior drywall. Catching problems early saves money on energy bills, prevents structural decay, and maintains your home’s curb appeal and resale value.
How often should I schedule a professional siding inspection?
We recommend an annual inspection for most Kingston properties, ideally in spring after winter freeze-thaw cycles or in late fall before snow arrives. Homes with older siding, homes near the lakefront, and rental or commercial buildings with higher wear may benefit from a semi-annual check. In addition, you should book an immediate inspection after severe storms, hail, or high-wind events.
What signs indicate my siding may need repair or replacement?
Common red flags include cracked or warped boards, bubbling paint, mold or mildew stains, rising energy bills, interior wall dampness, and obvious gaps or missing fasteners. If you notice siding pulling away from the house, excessive noise in high winds, or chipped and faded color that won’t hold new paint, call us for an inspection—these are often precursors to deeper moisture damage.
Does your siding inspection cover roofing and gutter interfaces?
Yes. Because siding performance depends on the integrity of adjoining systems, every inspection includes a check of roof-to-wall flashing, step flashing, drip edges, soffits, and gutters. We look for shingle overhang issues, clogged downspouts, and any flashing failures that could channel water behind the siding. Addressing these transition points ensures a complete moisture-control strategy for your building envelope.
Will an inspection report help with insurance claims after a storm?
Absolutely. Our certified inspectors document all findings with high-resolution photos, moisture-meter readings, and a clear description of storm-related damage. This report meets the documentation standards of most major insurers and can significantly speed up the claims process, providing proof that damage was sudden and not due to pre-existing neglect.
What types of siding materials do you service in Kingston?
We inspect, repair, and replace vinyl, fiber-cement (James Hardie), engineered wood, cedar shakes, aluminum, and traditional wood clapboard. Each material has unique failure points—vinyl panel expansion, fiber-cement joint gaps, or wood rot—so our team is trained and certified by leading manufacturers to spot issues specific to each siding system and recommend code-compliant solutions.
