Mid-century ranches and Cape Cods in a convenient east-end neighborhood — thorough, unbiased inspections from a family-run Louisville company.
Centered around the busy intersection of Hikes Lane, Taylorsville Road, and Breckenridge Lane, Hikes Point is a convenient, established area of eastern Louisville named for the Hikes family who farmed the land in the 1800s. Its quiet residential streets are filled with mid-century ranches, Cape Cods, and brick homes, with shopping, schools, and parks close by. ProChek Home Inspections serves Hikes Point buyers and sellers from our Louisville office.
Most Hikes Point homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, so many original components — roofs, furnaces, air conditioners, water heaters, electrical panels, and plumbing — have been replaced or are due. Basements and crawlspaces deserve a careful look for moisture. 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 knows what to look for in homes of this era.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, an annual maintenance 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 Hikes Point inspection.

Clients consistently describe Darryl the same way — thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Here’s what a few of them have to say.
"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!"
"I am forever grateful to Darryl and Prochek Home Inspection. His expertise and thoroughness saved me from what could have been a nightmare. Homeowners tried to hide the truth about their home but Darryl sees right through it. Extremely glad continued to use Darryl for our home inspections. 100% recommend him over and over. Thank you Darryl and Prochek Home Inspection!!!!"
