Tree-lined streets, classic brick homes, and decades of character — ProChek brings a builder’s eye to every St. Matthews home we inspect.
Long before Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Center put it on the map, St. Matthews was farm country — so productive in the early 1900s that it became known for its potato crops. Today it’s one of Louisville’s most beloved independent cities: a walkable, close-knit community along Shelbyville Road and Lexington Road with busy restaurants and shops, Brown Park, and quiet, tree-lined streets filled with homes that have character to spare. ProChek Home Inspections serves St. Matthews buyers, sellers, and homeowners from our Louisville office on McKenna Way.
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. Clients regularly mention how easy Dee-Dee makes scheduling and how patiently Darryl walks them through his findings — no rushing, no jargon, and no handing you off to someone you’ve never met.
St. Matthews homes reward an experienced eye. Darryl 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 understands how homes from every era were built — and how decades of updates, additions, and remodeling can change what’s behind the walls.
Much of St. Matthews was built from the 1920s through the 1950s, with bungalows, Cape Cods, Tudors, and brick ranches shaded by mature trees. That charm comes with things to watch for: aging electrical systems and older panels, original or partially updated plumbing, basements prone to moisture, roofs and gutters working hard under heavy tree cover, and additions or renovations that may not have been done to the same standard as the original home. Kentucky’s humid summers and freeze-thaw winters add to the wear.
That’s why St. Matthews clients trust ProChek for buyer’s inspections, pre-listing inspections, condo inspections, annual maintenance inspections, and radon testing. You’ll get a thorough inspection, a plain-language 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.

Clients across the Louisville area say the same things about ProChek — thorough, honest, and easy to work with. 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."
