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.

Derek was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. The inspection and report was very thorough and detailed. I feel I have a good understanding of the home I am buying. Thanks Derek!
Thanks Brett! Super glad to know that you feel like you have a handle on the house- it was a pleasure to walk you through all of it. Cool to have a new neighbor too!
Derek was wonderful to work with. He took the time to thoroughly explain every part of the inspection and was always happy to answer any questions we had along the way. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendly approach made the entire process easy and stress-free. We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a home inspection and will definitely be reaching out to him again for any future needs!

Thanks so much, Glendaliz! It was my pleasure to serve you.
From the very first call, through the inspection itself, Derek was incredibly professional. Not only was he thorough in his explanation of his process, but also his findings from the home inspection. Being punctual and engaging only helped make this part of our home purchase even easier. Even at the completion of his inspection, he walked through the findings and what to expect in the report, which came later that day. I would recommend Derek at Chestnut Property Inspections without hesitation!
Mike, thanks so much for your thoughtful review. I enjoyed meeting you and your family, and it was a pleasure to serve you. We wish you the best in your new home, and know that you can reach out any time you have questions.
