"Exceptional job on window, siding and gutter replacement. Everything was literally measured twice and arrived the proper size. No surprises once work started, and the job site was kept clean with daily end-of-day sweeps."

Styles & Types

Types of siding we inspect

We inspect every siding system on Triangle homes, and each one hides moisture differently. Here is what we check most.

  • Fiber Cement (James Hardie) installed by Baker Home Exteriors

    Fiber Cement (James Hardie)

    The Triangle favorite. Resists rot, flame, and woodpeckers, and holds paint for years.

    Vinyl Siding

    Budget-friendly, low-maintenance, and available in dozens of colors that never need paint.

  • Engineered Wood installed by Baker Home Exteriors

    Real wood looks with engineered strength. Warm grain textures without the upkeep of cedar.

  • Board & Batten installed by Baker Home Exteriors

    Board & Batten

    Vertical lines that give farmhouses and gables their character. Works in Hardie, vinyl, and wood.

  • Shake & Shingle installed by Baker Home Exteriors

    Shake & Shingle

    Coastal cottage texture for gables and accent walls, in cedar or low-maintenance composite.

Brands

Siding brands we inspect and service

We install the major siding manufacturers and will lay the samples side by side so you can compare texture, color, and warranty before you decide.

  • James Hardie siding installed by Baker Home Exteriors James Hardie logo

    James Hardie

    The fiber cement standard. We install HardiePlank lap siding, HardieShingle, and HardiePanel board-and-batten in factory-baked ColorPlus finishes. Baker is a James Hardie Alliance Elite contractor, so installs follow the spec the warranty depends on.

    Baker replaced our slate roof and they were absolutely excellent. Steven Bartz was professional and a pleasure to work with the entire process. From start to finish everything was flawless, and the final result is a truly beautiful roof.

    We were told by someone else that we needed an entirely new roof. Will gave us the honest news that we only had a few shingles and pipe boots to replace. His honesty and quick scheduling saved us so much stress (and money).

FAQ

Common siding inspection questions from Carolina homeowners

Is the siding inspection free? +

Yes. The inspection and the written quote are free and come with no pressure. If your siding is sound, we will tell you so.

What can a siding inspection catch? +

Cracked or warped boards, failed caulk and seams, moisture and rot behind the surface, and bad flashing around windows and doors. We show you what we find.

Where do you inspect siding? +

Siding runs out of our Raleigh-market team at the Apex branch, covering Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Durham, Wake Forest, and Holly Springs. Share your address and we will confirm coverage.

Will you push me toward a full re-side? +

No. If the fix is a few boards and some flashing, that is what we will tell you. We only recommend a full replacement when the siding is genuinely failing.
