Historic shotgun houses, renovated rowhomes, and new infill near Beargrass Creek — thorough inspections from a family-run Louisville company.
One of Louisville’s oldest neighborhoods, Butchertown takes its name from the meatpacking businesses that once lined Beargrass Creek. Today it’s a revitalized, historic district just east of downtown, with restored shotgun houses and Victorian homes along Story Avenue and Washington Street, the Thomas Edison House museum, new restaurants and breweries, and Lynn Family Stadium nearby. ProChek Home Inspections serves Butchertown buyers, sellers, and investors from our Louisville office.
Butchertown’s mix of century-old homes, renovations, and newer infill construction means every property is different. Older systems, foundations, and the quality of past renovations matter on historic homes, while newer builds deserve a check for workmanship, and homes in low-lying areas near the creek deserve a careful look at drainage and signs of water intrusion. 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 new construction inspection, an investment property 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 Butchertown inspection.

Clients consistently describe Darryl the same way — thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. Here’s what a few of them have to say.
"Darryl and Dee Dee are the best! Dee Dee was very helpful with setting up my appointment, and provided great pricing! Darryl was thorough with the inspection, and explained everything in great detail on my report! If I ever need an inspection on another property I will be a repeat customer for sure!"
"Darryl did a very thorough inspection on my new construction. It was peace of mind for me. I would highly recommend ProCheck for new or existing properties!"
"I could not be more pleased with the service provided by ProChek Home Inspections. Darryl was very punctual, extremely thorough, and highly professional. Following the comprehensive inspection, Darryl took the time to review his findings with me and provide his honest assessment of every aspect of the home I was purchasing. Overall, the report I received was detailed, well-organized, and gave me confidence in making informed decisions. As a result of the quality service that he provided, I asked them to perform a follow-up inspection to verify that the recommended repairs had been completed correctly prior to closing on my home. Their service exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy home inspection company to reach out to ProChek."
