Decking, siding, trim and exterior product investigations
Exterior inspection depth across decking, cladding, trim, and transitions — documented against manufacturer instructions and site conditions.
- What we document
- Cause and condition — measured against manufacturer instructions and the site conditions on the day, captured in photographs, measurements, and operational observations.
- What we don't
- We don't prescribe repairs or assign fault. The report stays neutral and defensible — the findings are yours to act on.
Findings you can act on for Decking & Exterior Products
Every parameter is captured against manufacturer instructions and accepted tolerances — so the report establishes cause, not just appearance.
core parameters, defined before the visit under Required Data Definition — not left to inspector discretion.
