Historic downtown homes, new subdivisions, and country properties across Shelby County — inspected thoroughly by a former custom home builder.
Known as the Saddlebred Capital of the World, Shelbyville sits in the heart of Kentucky horse country along I-64, between Louisville and Frankfort. The Shelby County seat is home to a historic Main Street lined with antique shops and restaurants, rolling farmland dotted with horse barns and fences, and a growing number of new neighborhoods as more families discover what Shelby County has to offer. ProChek Home Inspections serves Shelbyville and all of Shelby County with thorough, unbiased inspections.
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. That means you’ll work with the same people from your first phone call to your final report — no call centers and no rotating crews.
Darryl’s background is what sets ProChek apart. He spent more than 12 years as a custom home builder before becoming a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038), and he has 20 years of inspection experience as an ASHI member. He knows how homes are supposed to be built — and that experience matters whether he’s inspecting a century-old home downtown or a brand-new build on the edge of town.
Shelbyville’s housing is as varied as the county itself. Older homes near downtown can carry aging electrical, plumbing, and foundation concerns, while newer subdivisions can hide workmanship issues that only an experienced eye will catch. Farmhouses and country properties often include additions, outbuildings, and features that have changed over the years, and manufactured homes on rural lots have their own set of considerations. Kentucky’s storms, humidity, and freeze-thaw winters affect them all.
That’s why Shelby County buyers, sellers, and homeowners trust ProChek for buyer’s inspections, new construction inspections, pre-listing inspections, manufactured home inspections, and radon testing. You’ll get a thorough inspection, a clear walk-through, and a detailed digital report with photos you can access anytime. Call ProChek at 502-802-6336 — we’re open 7 days a week.
