Front porches, carriage houses, and walkable streets — inspections for Norton Commons homes from a former custom home builder.
Norton Commons is one of the Louisville area’s most recognizable neighborhoods — a walkable, traditional-style community in northeastern Jefferson County where front porches face tree-lined streets, garages sit along rear alleys, and homes, townhomes, carriage houses, and condos share the neighborhood with shops, restaurants, parks, and pools. Most homes here are newer construction, built over the past two decades. ProChek Home Inspections serves Norton Commons buyers and sellers from our Louisville office.
Newer doesn’t mean perfect. Tightly spaced homes, detached carriage houses, rear-alley garages, porches, and decks all need a careful look, and even recently built homes can have workmanship issues — flashing, drainage, insulation, and ventilation — that only an experienced eye will catch. 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 exactly what builders tend to miss.
Whether you need a new construction inspection, a buyer’s inspection, a condo or townhome 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 Norton Commons inspection.

Clients consistently describe Darryl the same way — thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Here’s what a few of them have to say.
"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!!!!"
"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!"
