Grand Victorian homes, converted apartments, and historic condos — inspected with a builder’s understanding of century-old construction.
Just south of downtown, Old Louisville is one of the largest collections of Victorian-era homes in the country — block after block of ornate brick and stone mansions, row houses, and grand residences built mostly in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It’s home to St. James Court, Central Park, the St. James Court Art Show each fall, and the University of Louisville just to the south. Many of its large homes have been converted into apartments and condos over the years. ProChek Home Inspections serves Old Louisville buyers, sellers, and investors from our Louisville office.
Homes this old and this large need an inspector who understands how they were built — and how they’ve been changed. Aging electrical and plumbing, slate and complex roofs, chimneys, masonry, foundations, damp basements, and conversions into multiple units all call for a careful eye. 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.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a condo inspection, a multi-family 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 Old Louisville inspection.

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