Customer Reviews

Verified Eldorado, IL Customer Feedback

★★★★★

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

Eldorado, IL

★★★★★

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

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.

Annual inspections on any exterior cladding over 15 years old are cost-effective in Eldorado, IL — 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 for years.

If the inspection identifies repair work you engage us to complete, the inspection fee is credited against the repair project cost. That arrangement ensures the inspection is an objective assessment — not a sales tool designed to generate the highest possible repair recommendation.

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 Eldorado, IL 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.

Eldorado (/ˌɛldəˈreɪdoʊ, -də/) is a city in Saline County, Illinois, United States. The population was 4,122 at the 2010 census, with a 1980 peak of 5,198. Although the city's name is spelled as if it were Spanish, the name was originally "Eldereado" or “Elder-Reado” (depending on the source)—a combination of the last names of the town's two founders, Judge Samuel Elder, his son William, grandson Francis Marion, and neighbor Joseph Read, and his brother William. According to legend, a signpainter for the railroad painted the name "Eldorado" on the train depot; as a result, the spelling and pronunciation (el-do-RAY-doh) was forever changed.
