We are a family- and veteran-owned property inspection company with some of the most outstanding Google reviews in Central PA. We are known for exceptional service to our clients, our crystal-clear reports that are delivered on the day of the inspection, and the kind of inspections we can do other than home inspections. We do radon, mold, and water testing, termite and well inspections, and commercial property inspections. Learn more about us at https://chestnutinspections.com.
A Home Inspection is a visual evaluation of a property's condition, covering major systems like the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. We do these inspections for home buyers to inform them of any existing or potential issues. We also do these as pre-listing inspections for sellers, to control any surprises or delays after an offer has been accepted.

A WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) Inspection checks for signs of termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and fungi that can damage a home’s structure. It is often required for real estate transactions like VA loans, and helps protect against costly structural repairs.

We check the same items as on a standard home inspection, as well as structural support beneath the home.

Lenders sometimes require an inspection to determine if the home meets HUD construction standards for foundations and additions (porches, decks, etc.). We do these inspections with our partner engineering firm, who reviews our information and issues a report.

They conducted a very thorough inspection and were very friendly and helpful throughout the entire inspection.
Thanks Josh! It was a pleasure to meet you and show you the inspection findings in person. Please reach out whenever you have questions!
Very thorough inspection of a property we are purchasing. Perfectly clear what we should have repaired immediately, what can wait, and what should be looked into. Did not expect such a detailed report for the price.
Thanks very much Louise! Amy and I enjoyed getting to meet you and your husband and walking you through the inspection findings. We wish you much happiness there!
Derek did a thorough and professional inspection of a house that I wanted to buy. His report was sent the same day as the inspection. His report was methodical, enlightening and photographs documented every part of the inspection. I was so happy with the inspection (although I did not end up buying that house) that I hired him to do an air quality inspection on another house and will hire him again to inspect. Highly recommend!
Wow thanks Nicole! We're very gratified that you were so happy with everything, and I'm glad that our intent comes through so clearly. Thanks for your very gracious review!
Derek was very thorough and did a great job explaining his findings! Would highly recommend!
Thanks so much Darrien! I enjoyed meeting you and walking you through the report. Call anytime you have questions!
Derek came by and was very communicative and thorough. His attention to detail is helping us navigate our home purchase with proper information and consideration. On-time, kind, and well-priced. Highly recommend. (:
Thanks Dani! I enjoyed getting to meet you and your son at the property, and walk you through the things I found. We wish you the best there- please reach out any time you have questions.

Verification is not an endorsement. Inspectors List does not make judgments about quality of service or recommend specific inspectors.
There is no charge for verification. We offer verification freely to any inspector who qualifies based on valid public records.
If an inspector does not have a verified badge, it may simply mean that verification is still pending. It does not imply that the inspector is unqualified or unlicensed.
