A receipt doesn’t always mean the job was done right. Before you close, let Darryl confirm the repairs you negotiated were actually completed — and completed correctly.
After the inspection, most buyers negotiate repairs with the seller — a roof leak sealed, a wiring issue corrected, a plumbing leak fixed. But between the repair agreement and the closing table, it’s easy for work to be missed, rushed, or only partly finished.
A re-inspection is a follow-up visit to verify the items in your repair agreement. Darryl returns to the home, checks each repaired item against the original findings, and documents what he sees with updated photos, so you know exactly where things stand before you sign.
ProChek clients have done exactly this: after their original inspection, they asked Darryl to perform a follow-up inspection to verify the recommended repairs had been completed correctly before closing. It’s a small step that brings real peace of mind to a big purchase.
A re-inspection focuses on the items you and the seller agreed would be repaired.
Each item listed in your repair agreement or amendment is checked against the original findings.
Darryl looks at how the work was done, not just whether something changed — a builder’s eye for workmanship.
Anything that wasn’t completed or still needs attention is clearly noted so you can follow up before closing.
Current photos of the repaired areas for your records — helpful for your agent, your lender, and your files.
Once you close, the repairs become your responsibility. If a repair was skipped or done poorly, you may not discover it until the next heavy rain, the first cold snap, or the next time a contractor opens a wall — and by then, the seller is long gone.
Receipts and photos from the seller are helpful, but they don’t always tell the whole story. An independent re-inspection by the inspector who found the issues in the first place is the most reliable way to confirm the work was done.
With 12+ years as a custom home builder behind him, Darryl knows what proper workmanship looks like — and when a repair is only cosmetic.
Every ProChek re-inspection is built around your repair agreement.
After the seller tells you repairs are complete, and early enough before closing that any open items can still be addressed. Call 502-802-6336 as soon as you have a repair completion date and Dee-Dee will get it on the calendar.
A copy of your repair agreement or amendment listing the items to be fixed, plus any receipts, invoices, or contractor notes the seller provides. This helps Darryl check each item quickly and thoroughly.
No. A re-inspection focuses on the specific items in your repair agreement rather than re-inspecting the entire home. If you need a full inspection, see our Buyer’s Home Inspection.
Darryl will note it clearly with photos so you and your agent can raise it with the seller before closing — whether that means finishing the repair, providing a credit, or another solution.
Pricing depends on the number and type of items to verify. Call 502-802-6336 for a quote.
From your first phone call to your final report, here’s exactly what to expect when you hire ProChek.
Call 502-802-6336 once the seller reports repairs are complete. Dee-Dee will schedule your visit before your closing date.

Darryl returns to the home and checks each agreed repair, documenting the work with updated photos.
