Larger homes, lakeside streets, and golf-course living in eastern Louisville — detailed inspections from a former custom home builder.
Lake Forest is one of eastern Louisville’s best-known planned communities — a neighborhood of winding streets, lakes, walking paths, a golf course, and amenity centers, with homes built mostly from the 1990s onward. Families are drawn by the larger homes, the amenities, and the easy access to Middletown and the Gene Snyder. ProChek Home Inspections serves Lake Forest buyers and sellers with thorough, unhurried inspections.
Homes from the 1990s and 2000s are now reaching the age where original roofs, HVAC systems, water heaters, windows, and decks may need replacement, and larger homes often have multiple systems and finished lower levels to evaluate. 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. He knows how these homes were built and what tends to wear out first.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a luxury and estate 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 Lake Forest inspection.

Clients consistently describe Darryl the same way — thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Here’s what a few of them have to say.
"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!"
"We used Prochek for our home inspection last week and we are very impressed! Darryl was very thorough and explained everything to us along the way. From start to finish the whole process was very smooth. His office administrator Dee Dee was super friendly and explained everything to us as far as next steps, payment amount and payment options etc. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a great home Inspection experience!"
