Your home works hard every year. A yearly check-up helps you catch small problems early, plan for repairs, and protect one of your biggest investments.
Most homeowners only get a home inspection when they buy. But homes change every year — roofs age, seals fail, gutters clog, and small leaks quietly cause damage behind walls and under floors. By the time a problem is obvious, it’s often expensive.
An annual home maintenance inspection is a thorough look at the home you already live in. Darryl inspects the home’s major systems and components, looking for wear, damage, and developing issues, and gives you a clear picture of what needs attention now and what to plan for.
Every inspection is performed personally by Darryl Willoughby, a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038) and ASHI member with 20 years of experience and more than 12 years as a custom home builder — the kind of experienced eye that spots trouble early.
An annual inspection covers the same major areas as a full home inspection.
Roof covering, flashing, gutters, attic framing, insulation, and ventilation.
Foundation, framing, crawlspace or basement, and signs of movement or moisture.
Supply and drain lines, fixtures, water heaters, and visible leaks.
Service panels, wiring, outlets, switches, and visible safety concerns.
Heating and cooling equipment and distribution, tested for operation.
Siding, windows, doors, decks, porches, grading, and drainage.
Walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, windows, and doors.
Built-in appliances, garage, and garage door operation and safety.
A minor roof leak, a failing seal around a window, a slow plumbing drip, or a drainage problem next to the foundation can all turn into major repairs if they go unnoticed. Catching them early almost always costs less.
An annual inspection also helps you budget. Knowing that your water heater or roof is nearing the end of its life lets you plan for replacement instead of facing an emergency.
And when it’s eventually time to sell, a well-maintained home — with records to show for it — is easier to sell and stronger at the negotiating table.
Every ProChek annual maintenance inspection includes:
Once a year is a good rule of thumb for staying ahead of maintenance. Many homeowners also schedule an inspection after major storms or before starting a big renovation.
Any time works, but many homeowners like spring or fall, so they can handle repairs before summer heat or winter weather. Call 502-802-6336 and Dee-Dee will find a time that works for you.
The inspection itself is similar — a thorough look at the home’s major systems. The difference is the goal: instead of helping you decide whether to buy, an annual inspection helps you maintain and protect the home you already own.
Yes. A history of inspections and completed maintenance can help buyers feel confident in your home. You may also want a Pre-Listing Inspection when you’re ready to sell.
Pricing depends on the size, age, and type of home. Call 502-802-6336 for a quote.
