PreFlight was built on the idea that buyers deserve clear answers, practical explanations, and an inspector who respects both the home and the client.
Military quality assurance inspectors aren't trained to look — they're trained to find where and how things fail. That mindset doesn't switch off.
Every inspection follows a rigorous, methodical process. Nothing skipped, nothing assumed.
Photo-rich digital reports with practical priorities — what matters, what can wait, and what it means.
Text, call, or email. Responsive scheduling that works around your closing timeline.
Hands-on knowledge from construction, electrical, systems, and owning and renovating homes myself.
Thorough without being theatrical. Honest without unnecessary drama.
Client Reviews
“Honestly blown away by how thorough he was — attic to foundation, he caught stuff I never would’ve noticed. Kyle 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.”
“Kyle came out and did a thorough inspection for us. Very professional and provided us with a detailed report. We recommend PreFlight Home Inspection — we will be using them again when we find a home we want to purchase.”
“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.”
Backed by InterNACHI®
PreFlight is a participating member of three InterNACHI® programs that put real backing behind every inspection — and make hiring me easier on your wallet.
If I miss a covered item I should have caught and reported, InterNACHI® will buy your home back for the full purchase price. Honored up to 90 days after closing. That's how confident I am in the inspection.
Don't pay out of pocket on inspection day. Roll your inspection fee into closing and keep your cash free while you're already stretched thin buying a home.
Every PreFlight inspection includes an InterNACHI® Inspection Warranty at no extra cost to you. Up to $3,000 in covered repairs with no deductible, running 120 days from inspection or 90 days from closing. You choose your own contractor and work directly with the warranty program. Add a sewer scope and coverage extends to the sewer line.
Buy-Back Guarantee is offered by InterNACHI® for primary residences and is subject to program terms and conditions. Full terms at nachi.org/buy-legal. The InterNACHI® Inspection Warranty is administered by Elite Inspection Warranty. Coverage applies to items inspected and found free of defects; sub-limits and exclusions apply, and a $250 consumer responsibility applies to roof leak and mold reimbursements.
About Kyle Winn
I'm Kyle Winn, founder of PreFlight Home Inspections.
I'm a retired Coast Guard Chief and Navy veteran with a 21-year career spanning aviation, electrical systems, quality assurance, and operations aboard nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
I flew search and rescue and later served as Chief Quality Assurance Inspector for a fleet of helicopters — work where a missed defect didn't cost money, it cost lives. That standard doesn't leave you.
I've also lived it on the homeowner side: bought old houses and new ones, renovated spaces, finished basements, handled electrical work, and spent years learning how complex systems succeed — and fail.
PreFlight brings that same calm, detail-oriented mindset to home buyers and real estate agents across Southeast Michigan.
