Our Story
35 Years of Honest Home Inspection Reports in Western Kentucky
Rob Prewitt started TRC Home Inspection in 1990 with a clear purpose: give every client a complete, unbiased picture of the property they are about to buy. That mission was shaped long before the first inspection. Rob served as a volunteer firefighter for nearly 14 years, and an experience he witnessed on the fire line changed the course of his career. Arriving at a home fully engulfed in flames with three small children inside left a mark that never faded. That moment is the reason TRC operates with a strict no sugar-coating policy to this day.
Combined with a professional background spanning construction, remodeling, and banking, Rob brings a perspective to every inspection that most competitors simply cannot match. He understands how homes are built, how they deteriorate, and how lenders evaluate risk. That well-rounded knowledge base is what makes TRC Home Inspection one of the most thorough locally owned inspection services in the Paducah area.
