Victorian homes, foursquares, and bungalows along Bardstown Road — inspected with a builder’s understanding of older construction.
The Highlands is one of Louisville’s most vibrant neighborhoods — home to the shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Bardstown Road, the green hills of Cherokee Park, and blocks of beautiful older homes. Victorian houses, American foursquares, Craftsman bungalows, and brick duplexes line its tree-shaded streets, many built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. ProChek Home Inspections serves Highlands buyers, sellers, and investors from our Louisville office.
Homes of this age have character — and history. Original or partially updated wiring, older plumbing, settling foundations, aging roofs and chimneys, damp basements, and generations of renovations can all hide surprises. 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 decades of changes affect what’s behind the walls.
Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, a multi-family 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 Highlands inspection.
