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.

Very happy with Derek's (Chestnut Property Inspection's) work. Because of how thorough he was, it saved me from investing in a true money pit (a charming 1880's cottage that was hiding major internal and structural issues). Hiring CPI was the best money I spent all week!
Derek was very easy to talk with about the property. His explanations were spot on, easy for me to understand. The inspection was very indepth and thorough.
Thanks so much Dori! It was a pleasure to meet you and walk you through the house- it's good that you were on site because it makes things easier to understand. Call anytime you have questions!
Derek was right on time, professional and very thorough. He went over his findings with me in a way I able to understand. I am really happy we were able to find this inspection company . I would recommend Chestnut to anyone! Thank you very much Folks from Chestnut!!
Thanks so much Kelly! Glad to hear that we were helpful to you- please reach out if you ever have questions.
Derek explained what he was going to do and why so I understood the procedure. I'm just not used to paying someone for a job before they do it, but Derek was there and did what he said he would. An honest business man is rare.
Thanks so much Bonnie- we're very glad you were satisfied with our services!
I just wanted to share my experience, it was extremely easy right from the start from the phone call with Amy to the actual inspection. Derek arrived on time, he explained everything that he was going to be doing and looking at it took two hours to inspect my house. It was extremely thorough at the end of the inspection. He explained step-by-step of what he found. What was important and what was just needed for upkeep. He also reached out to me the following day to see if there was any other questions that I needed answered after reading the report I would highly recommend this company. I would also like to say that Derek is a veteran and would like to thank him again for his service, outstanding company.
Thanks so much Beverley! It was my pleasure to inspect the house for you and show you the things that needed attention. Please reach out if you have questions in the future!
