Historic downtown homes, lake properties, and country living in Spencer County — thorough inspections from a former custom home builder.
Taylorsville is the seat of Spencer County, a historic small town on the Salt River best known for nearby Taylorsville Lake and its state park — a favorite for boating, fishing, and camping. Beyond its historic downtown, the area has grown with new subdivisions, lake-area homes, and country properties, attracting buyers who want a slower pace within reach of Louisville. ProChek Home Inspections serves Taylorsville and Spencer County buyers and sellers.
Taylorsville’s mix of historic homes, new construction, and rural properties brings a mix of concerns — aging systems and renovations in older homes, workmanship in new builds, and grading and drainage on country and lake-area lots. 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 understands construction of every era.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a new construction inspection, a manufactured home 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 Taylorsville inspection.

Clients consistently describe Darryl the same way — thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Here’s what a few of them have to say.
"Dee Dee and Darryl were very easy to work with, and the inspection report that was provided was very comprehensive! Darryl included pictures of everything from the foundation to the roof with arrows pointing to every problem area on each pic. Having all that data helped me dodge a bullet on a house that would have needed extensive repairs had I proceeded with the purchase. I am still looking for another house at the moment, and when I find one I want to put an offer in on, I will use ProChek again!"
"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!!!!"
