What We Do
A Complete Visual Examination, Roof to Foundation
Our residential property evaluation covers every visible system and structural component of the home, from the roof and attic down through the walls, floors, and foundation. Electrical panels, plumbing, HVAC, windows, doors, insulation, and drainage are all part of the assessment. Every finding is documented in a computer-generated, photo-rich report that includes condition indicators and a clear summary so you know exactly what needs attention. In most cases, your report is delivered by email the very next day, giving you the information you need to negotiate, request repairs, or walk away before your closing window closes.
Why It Matters
Protect Your Investment Before You Commit
A pre-purchase home inspection is your single best defense against expensive surprises after closing. Rob Prewitt brings 35 years of hands-on experience in construction, remodeling, and banking to every inspection. That background means he understands not just what a defect looks like, but what it costs to fix and how it affects the long-term value of your investment. Add in nearly 14 years as a volunteer firefighter, and you have an inspector who approaches every property with a genuine life-safety focus. TRC does not benefit from the sale or repair of any home we inspect, so the report you receive reflects only what is actually there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Inspections

  • What does a residential home inspection actually cover?

    A residential home inspection from TRC is a complete visual examination of all accessible systems and structural components in the home. That includes the roof, attic, foundation, framing, exterior walls, windows, doors, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC equipment, insulation, and drainage. Every visible condition is evaluated and documented. The goal is to identify defects, safety concerns, and items that may require repair or further evaluation by a specialist, so you have a full picture of the property before you finalize your purchase.

  • How long does a typical home inspection take, and when will I get the report?

    The length of an inspection depends on the size and condition of the home, but most residential inspections take a few hours to complete. Once the on-site evaluation is finished, TRC generates a computer-based, photo-rich report with condition indicators and a clear summary of findings. In most cases, the completed report is emailed to you the following day. That fast turnaround is intentional because real estate transactions move quickly, and you need the information in hand before your negotiation or contingency window expires.

  • Should I get an inspection on a newly built home?

    New construction is not automatically free of defects. Since 2020 in particular, many new builds have been affected by rushed timelines and material shortages that can lead to construction shortcuts. Electrical issues, improper drainage, roofing deficiencies, and insulation gaps are all problems that can appear in brand-new homes. An independent pre-purchase home inspection gives you an objective look at the property before the builder's warranty clock starts, and before you take legal ownership of any problems that were built in from the start.

  • Is TRC Home Inspection licensed and certified to perform inspections in Kentucky?

    Yes. TRC Home Inspection holds Kentucky Home Inspector License HI#2314 and ASHI Certification #201173 through the American Society of Home Inspectors. Owner Rob Prewitt is also a Certified and Licensed Termite Inspector (#115253) and a Graduate of the Exterior Designs Institute, among other professional credentials. All inspections are conducted in accordance with ASHI Standards of Practice, which are among the most recognized professional standards in the home inspection industry.

  • Does TRC Home Inspection have any financial interest in whether the home sells or gets repaired?

    No. TRC Home Inspection maintains a strict policy of neutrality. Rob Prewitt and TRC do not benefit financially from the sale of any home they inspect, and they do not perform or profit from repairs on inspected properties. This means the report you receive reflects only what the inspector actually observed, with no incentive to minimize or overlook findings. That independence is a core part of the TRC mission and is what the no sugar-coating policy is built on.

  • Which parts of Western Kentucky does TRC Home Inspection serve?

    TRC Home Inspection is based in Boaz, KY and serves a wide region of Western Kentucky. The primary service area includes Paducah and McCracken County, along with Marshall, Graves, Calloway, Crittenden, and Livingston Counties. Extended service locations include Murray, Benton, Marion, Gilbertsville, Cadiz, Mayfield, Eddyville, Kevil, and Princeton. If you are unsure whether your property falls within the service area, you can call (270) 519-1573 to confirm.

  • How much does a residential home inspection cost, and are there any discounts available?

    The average cost of a home inspection with TRC is around $500. You can use discount code TRC-50 at the time of booking to save $50 on your inspection. Pricing may vary depending on the size and specifics of the property. TRC does not publish a tiered pricing menu for all scenarios, so reaching out directly is the best way to get an accurate quote for your specific home. Call (270) 519-1573 or schedule online to get started.

  • What sets TRC Home Inspection apart from other inspectors in the Paducah area?

    Rob Prewitt founded TRC in 1990 and brings a background that most inspectors simply do not have: 35 years of experience spanning construction, remodeling, and banking, combined with nearly 14 years of service as a volunteer firefighter. That combination means he evaluates a home from the perspective of someone who understands how it was built, what it costs to fix, how lenders view risk, and what genuine safety hazards look like. TRC is locally and veteran-owned, holds all required Kentucky licenses, and operates with a firm no sugar-coating policy on every report.
