Farmhouses, country homes, and rural acreage in Shelby County — thorough inspections from a Kentucky licensed inspector.
Finchville is a small, rural community in southern Shelby County, surrounded by rolling farmland and best known for Finchville Farms and its traditional Kentucky country hams. Homes here are mostly farmhouses, country homes, and properties on larger acreage, with a few newer homes mixed in — a quiet setting for buyers who want true country living, room for gardens and animals, and wide-open views. ProChek Home Inspections serves Finchville buyers and sellers from our Louisville office.
Rural properties bring their own considerations — older farmhouses with additions and updates, outbuildings, grading and drainage, aging systems, and manufactured homes on country lots. Owner Darryl Willoughby spent more than 12 years as a custom home builder before becoming a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038) and ASHI member, and he has 20 years of inspection experience, so he understands construction of every kind and explains what he finds in plain language.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a manufactured home inspection, a pre-listing inspection, or radon testing, ProChek delivers a thorough inspection, a plain-language walk-through, and a detailed digital report with photos you can access anytime. Darryl’s wife Dee-Dee runs the office and scheduling, and we’re open 7 days a week — call 502-802-6336 to schedule your Finchville inspection.

Clients consistently describe Darryl the same way — thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Here’s what a few of them have to say.
"I could not be more pleased with the service provided by ProChek Home Inspections. Darryl was very punctual, extremely thorough, and highly professional. Following the comprehensive inspection, Darryl took the time to review his findings with me and provide his honest assessment of every aspect of the home I was purchasing. Overall, the report I received was detailed, well-organized, and gave me confidence in making informed decisions. As a result of the quality service that he provided, I asked them to perform a follow-up inspection to verify that the recommended repairs had been completed correctly prior to closing on my home. Their service exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy home inspection company to reach out to ProChek."
"Dee Dee and Darryl were very easy to work with, and the inspection report that was provided was very comprehensive! Darryl included pictures of everything from the foundation to the roof with arrows pointing to every problem area on each pic. Having all that data helped me dodge a bullet on a house that would have needed extensive repairs had I proceeded with the purchase. I am still looking for another house at the moment, and when I find one I want to put an offer in on, I will use ProChek again!"
"I’ve worked with several home inspectors and Darryl was one of the most thorough and knowledgeable guys I’ve met in the field. Great work and excellent report with a lot of great recommendations about how to proceed. Also, shout out to DeeDee for making the scheduling process simple and providing all the info needed without having to ask. Excellent company and I couldn’t recommend them more highly!"
