Inspection day
Two to four hours on site. Drone on the roof (airspace and weather permitting), camera in the attic, every system operated. Walk it with me — ask anything.
Report in 24 hours
Photo-documented Spectora report organized by priority — what matters, what can wait. Questions after are always free.
A different kind of home inspector.
For 21 years my job was finding the defect before it found someone else — the last stretch as Chief of Aviation Quality Assurance, the inspector who decides whether a grounded helicopter is safe to fly again. A missed defect there didn’t cost money. That standard doesn’t leave you, and it’s how I walk every house.
I don’t count inspection points.
I inspect everything I can get to on every single house. On some houses that’s more than others. Anyone promising you a set number is counting, not inspecting, and might be missing something.
Credentials you can verify
Michigan doesn’t license home inspectors. I’m an InterNACHI® CPI, fully insured (E&O and liability). Verify it.
Drone, attic camera and thermal scan, every job
Not an upsell. The drone flies airspace and weather permitting; when it can’t, the roof still gets inspected from the ground, the eaves or on foot where safe. The roof and attic are where the expensive surprises hide, and the FLIR goes on the panel, the plumbing walls and anywhere I suspect moisture.
Guaranteed in writing
Buy-back guarantee and a $3,000 warranty on every buyer inspection. What’s covered.

What clients are saying.
“In my opinion, PreFlight Home Inspections is one of the best in the business… What impressed me most was that Kyle didn’t simply go through a checklist — he genuinely took his time and treated the inspection as though he were inspecting a home for himself.”
“Kyle went through the whole thing top to bottom and found a bunch of issues I never would’ve caught… I now know exactly what’s wrong and what needs to get fixed before I hire a contractor. Guy’s a retired Coast Guard Chief with a background in safety inspections, and it shows. Thorough, straight with you, no BS.”
“I am a real estate agent and have had a few clients use PreFlight Home Inspections recently. Kyle has done a phenomenal job and is very thorough with his inspections… From thermal/infrared imaging to sewer scoping, he can check to make sure you’re buying a quality property.”
“Great service and clear inspection report. Chief Winn was professional and determined to find anything he could to ensure there were no surprises after inspection. Would recommend over and over again.”
“We thought we were buying our dream home but thanks to Kyle he saved me from committing to a nightmare of headaches and regret. We ended up walking away from the purchase… but I will absolutely call Kyle again when we find the next house.”
“Even though he didn’t find any major issues, he still took the time to go through everything carefully and point out the things that mattered. The one thing he caught was our hot tub disconnect being installed too close to the tub… I appreciated how thorough he was without trying to make small things seem like big problems.”
“Easy to talk to and very thorough. He gave plain explanations on what he was seeing — showed us the issues at the panel and walked us through what actually mattered vs. what could wait… Had our children present and he was great with them too. They had flashlights and were ‘helping inspect the house.’”
“Kyle did an outstanding job with our home re-inspection. He was extremely thorough, professional, and took the time to explain everything he was looking at and why it mattered… One thing that really stood out was how quickly he got the inspection report back to us.”
“I was honestly blown away by how thorough he was. He didn’t just glance at things and check a box — he got into everything, attic to foundation… He walked me through every defect in plain English, told me what actually mattered versus what was minor, and never once made me feel stupid for asking questions.”
“Very thorough and professional. Took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and answered all of my questions. The inspection gave me confidence in the condition of my home, and I really appreciated the attention to detail.”
“Kyle was amazing to work with and did a very thorough inspection of the condo I was looking to buy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a home inspection!”
“The owner, Kyle, came out to our home and did a thorough inspection for us. He was very professional and provided us with a detailed report. We recommend PreFlight Home Inspections — we will be using them again when we find a home we want to purchase.”
“Did an amazing job on our home inspection. I would highly recommend to anyone that’s interested!”
“Kyle is great and very thorough. Would definitely use his services again.”
“Had a small issue at the house. PreFlight was over within minutes to help solve the issue. Great customer service!”
