From historic homes along Main Street to new subdivisions across Oldham County — thorough, unbiased inspections from a Kentucky licensed inspector and former custom home builder.
There aren’t many towns where freight trains roll right down the middle of Main Street — but in La Grange, it’s part of the charm. The Oldham County seat pairs a historic downtown of shops, restaurants, and preserved older homes with the steady growth that has made Oldham County one of the most popular places in the region to raise a family. New subdivisions, rural acreage, and established neighborhoods all sit within a few minutes of downtown. ProChek Home Inspections serves La Grange and all of Oldham County from our Louisville office.
ProChek is a family-run, husband-and-wife company. Owner Darryl Willoughby performs every inspection personally, and his wife Dee-Dee runs the office and scheduling. When you call, you work directly with the Willoughbys — one consistent inspector, one point of contact, and a family business that treats your home purchase like it matters.
What makes ProChek different is Darryl’s background. He spent more than 12 years as a custom home builder before becoming a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038), and he now has 20 years of inspection experience as an ASHI member. That’s especially valuable in a growing area like Oldham County, where a large share of homes are newer construction and Darryl knows exactly what builders tend to miss.
La Grange homes span a wide range. Historic homes near downtown can hide aging wiring, plumbing, and foundations beneath years of updates, while newer subdivisions can have workmanship issues — incomplete flashing, missing insulation, drainage problems — that won’t show up until after closing. Rural properties on larger lots bring their own considerations, including grading, outbuildings, and private systems that buyers should ask about. And Kentucky’s storms, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles affect every home.
That’s why La Grange buyers, sellers, and builders’ customers trust ProChek for buyer’s inspections, new construction inspections, pre-listing inspections, luxury home inspections, and radon testing. You’ll get a thorough inspection, a plain-language walk-through, and a detailed digital report with photos. Call ProChek at 502-802-6336 — we’re open 7 days a week.

Clients consistently describe Darryl the same way — thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Here’s what a few of them have to say.
"We recently used ProChek Home Inspection for a home inspection and couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. They were incredibly thorough and made the process so smooth. Following the inspection, Darryl walked us through every step of the inspection with great detail and explanation. He explained issues clearly and offered practical suggestions for addressing them, without being alarmist. The inspection report was delivered promptly, complete with clear photos and well-organized notes. It helped us make a confident decision about the property and negotiate a few important repairs with the seller. We highly recommend using ProChek Home inspections for your new home!"
"Recently had ProCheck Home Inspections do TWO home inspections on two different homes within a week! First home fell through so I of course had to get Darryl again for the second. I can’t say enough nice things about Darryl and Dee Dee. The process was very smooth and the communication is amazing. Darryl is very thorough with the inspection and does a great job communicating afterwards. Very highly recommend using ProCheck Home Inspections!"
"ProChek did a fantastic job with the inspection on a house we’re in the process of buying. Darryl was incredibly thorough, which is something you definitely want in an inspector! His wife DeeDee was very friendly and helpful in setting up the appointment when we needed it quickly. I highly recommend their services!"
