Fall Is Coming: Time for a Siding Inspection in Seattle

🍁 Seattle Fall: Nature’s Way of Stress-Testing Your Siding

Let’s cut the pleasantries. If you live in Seattle, you already know what fall looks like. It’s wet. It’s gray. It’s six months of pretending your siding isn’t falling apart while you sip coffee and pretend “cozy” isn’t code for “the ceiling’s leaking again.”

And if your siding is out here hanging on like it’s in a reality show elimination round, now’s the time to face the music. Before that drizzle turns into a downpour that calls you by name.

Let’s talk about why you—yes, you, the Seattle homeowner who hasn’t walked around their house since summer 2022—need to get your siding inspected now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Right now, before fall turns your home into a moldy art project.

🕵️ What Is a Siding Inspection and Why Should You Care?

Alright, let’s break it down: a siding inspection is basically the annual physical for your house.

But instead of getting poked by a guy in scrubs, a siding pro (that’s us) walks around your house looking for stuff like:

• Cracks

• Warps

• Holes

• Mold

• Moisture damage

• Panels that look like they fought a raccoon and lost

Why care? Because all of those things mean your siding isn’t doing its job—which is literally to protect your home from weather. If your siding fails in fall? You’ll know. Your walls will sweat. Your energy bills will cry. And your interior will smell like the bottom of a sneaker left out in the rain.

🚩 Signs Your Seattle Siding Is Secretly Screaming for Help

Seattle siding has a hard life. Rain, wind, that one week of intense heat every July… it adds up. And if your siding’s been on your house longer than most TikTok stars have been alive, it might be time to poke around.

Here’s what to look for:

• Bubbling paint or swollen boards – Moisture is inside. It's already unpacked and started a podcast.

• Gaps and cracks – That’s not “charm.” That’s air infiltration.

• Funky smells indoors – Surprise! You’ve got mold.

• Rotting wood siding – It’s not aged. It’s decaying. There’s a difference.

• Your neighbor whispered “yikes” when walking past your house – That’s a clue.

If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, schedule a siding inspection before your home files for water damage insurance fraud.

💪 Our Inspection Process (No Smoke, No Mirrors)

We don’t show up in a mystery van with a clipboard and a vague estimate. We bring tools. We bring knowledge. We bring the kind of energy you wish your high school group projects had.

Here’s what we do:

1. Full perimeter check – We walk the walk. Literally.

2. Material analysis – Vinyl? Wood? James Hardie®? We know what’s failing and what’s just ugly.

3. Structural review – Is your siding holding up, or is it cosplaying as support?

4. Moisture test – Find out if your walls are secretly holding a kiddie pool inside.

5. Recommendations – Not the “here’s a $50k quote to scare you” kind. Real, honest options.

Then we sit down and give it to you straight. Like grown-ups. With coffee. Or sarcasm. Your choice.

🔨 When an Inspection Turns into a Repair Job
