Customer Reviews

What Franklin Park, IL Customers Say About Our Siding Inspection

★★★★★

We almost closed on a house without knowing about significant moisture damage behind the north siding. Forge Siding's pre-purchase inspection found elevated readings on two wall sections — no interior symptoms yet, but active moisture in the sheathing. We used the report to negotiate a $14,000 credit from the seller.

R. & T. Holcomb
Franklin Park, IL
★★★★★

The written report was organized by priority and included rough repair cost ranges. That's exactly what you need to decide which items to address immediately versus which to monitor.

Y. Okafor
Franklin Park, IL homeowner
★★★★★

Post-hail inspection documented 47 impact-damaged panels we couldn't see from the ground. The photo report went to our insurance adjuster and the claim was approved at the full replacement scope. Without the report, the adjuster's initial walk-around found eight.

C. Bauer
Franklin Park
★★★★★

Knowing what the buyer's inspector would find before they found it was worth the inspection fee many times over. The repairs were small; the buyer credit request that didn't happen would have been much larger.

FAQ

Siding Inspection FAQ — Franklin Park, IL Homeowners Ask

Home inspectors cover 20+ systems in a standard inspection and typically spend less than five minutes per exterior elevation. 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 costly damage.
The tools determine what the inspection can find. Non-invasive meters identify elevated moisture conditions behind panels without drilling. Pin meters confirm readings at accessible points. Without these tools, an inspection is a visual walk-around — useful, but incomplete for moisture-related issues that are the most expensive siding failures.
Annual inspections on any siding over 15 years old are worthwhile in IL — not because something is necessarily wrong, but because catching failed caulk and minor fastener movement at the annual visit costs a fraction of the water damage repair those small deficiencies cause if left unaddressed for years.
Our inspection fee is quoted upfront when you book. If the inspection identifies repair work you want us to complete, the inspection fee is credited against the repair project cost. That approach ensures the inspection report is an unbiased assessment, not a sales tool.
Yes, that's the primary value of non-invasive capacitance meter scanning. The meter detects elevated moisture in the cavity behind panels without drilling or opening the wall. It identifies zones of concern that we then confirm with targeted pin readings at accessible entry points — often soffit edges, utility penetrations, or low-on-wall areas where drilling a small test hole is minimally invasive.
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 detail — panel counts, locations, deficiency type — for you to get competitive repair quotes from any contractor. We don't use the report as leverage to lock you into using us for follow-up work.
