Victorian homes, shaded lanes, and small-town charm in Oldham County — inspected with a builder’s understanding of older homes.
Pewee Valley is one of Oldham County’s most charming small towns — a historic railroad community of shaded lanes, Victorian homes, and gracious older residences, famous as the setting of Annie Fellows Johnston’s “Little Colonel” books. Today it blends that history with newer homes and the convenience of nearby La Grange Road and I-71. ProChek Home Inspections serves Pewee Valley buyers and sellers from our Louisville office.
Historic homes bring character and history — older electrical and plumbing, aging roofs and chimneys, foundations, and generations of additions and renovations — while mature trees can take a toll on roofs, gutters, and drainage. 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 how older homes were built and how they’ve changed.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, a luxury and estate 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 Pewee Valley inspection.
