Know exactly what you’re buying before you close. A thorough, unbiased inspection from a Kentucky licensed inspector and former custom home builder — with a detailed report and photos you can act on.
A home is one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make, and a showing only tells you so much. A buyer’s home inspection is a thorough, top-to-bottom visual inspection of the home’s major systems and components — from the roof and attic to the foundation, plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling — completed before you close.
Every ProChek inspection is performed personally by Darryl Willoughby, a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038) and ASHI member with 20 years of experience. Before he became an inspector, Darryl spent more than 12 years as a custom home builder, so he knows how homes are supposed to be built — and where problems like to hide.
When the inspection is complete, Darryl walks you through what he found and delivers a detailed digital report with photos and clear notes. You’ll know the home’s true condition, which issues matter most, and what to ask the seller to address — so you can move forward with confidence.
Here are the key areas Darryl evaluates during a buyer’s home inspection.
Roof covering, flashing, gutters, attic framing, insulation, and ventilation — where many costly problems start.
Foundation, framing, crawlspace or basement, and signs of movement, moisture, or water intrusion.
Supply and drain lines, fixtures, water heater, and visible leaks or moisture concerns.
Service panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and visible safety concerns throughout the home.
Furnace, air conditioning, and distribution — tested for operation and checked for visible issues.
Siding, windows, doors, decks, porches, grading, and drainage around the home.
Walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, windows, and doors — including signs of past leaks or damage.
Built-in appliances, garage, garage door operation, and related safety features.
Fresh paint, new flooring, and good staging can make almost any house look move-in ready. What you can’t see during a showing — a failing roof, moisture in the crawlspace, an overloaded electrical panel, or an aging furnace — is what costs you after closing.
A buyer’s inspection gives you the facts while you still have options. You can negotiate repairs or a price adjustment, plan and budget for upcoming maintenance, or walk away from a home that would have needed far more work than you bargained for.
ProChek clients say it best: Darryl’s thoroughness has helped buyers dodge homes that needed extensive repairs, and his reports have given them what they needed to negotiate important repairs with the seller.
Every ProChek buyer’s inspection includes the full scope — not just a quick walk-through.
As soon as your offer is accepted. Most purchase contracts include a limited inspection period, so scheduling right away gives you time to review the report, ask questions, and negotiate repairs before your deadline. Call 502-802-6336 and Dee-Dee will get you on the calendar quickly.
We encourage it. Being there lets you see issues firsthand and ask questions while Darryl is on site. At minimum, plan to join at the end so Darryl can walk you through his findings and explain what matters most.
It depends on the size, age, and condition of the home. A typical single-family home takes a few hours. Larger or older homes, or homes with more systems to evaluate, can take longer — Darryl takes the time each home needs.
Your report is delivered digitally and includes photos with clear notes on what Darryl found, organized by system so it’s easy to follow. You can view a sample report to see the level of detail, and access your own report anytime through Get My Report.
Pricing depends on the size, age, and type of home and any add-on services like radon testing. Call 502-802-6336 for a quote — Dee-Dee will walk you through pricing and payment options.
From your first phone call to your final report, here’s exactly what to expect when you hire ProChek.
