Why Choose PreFlight

A different kind of home inspector.

PreFlight was built on the idea that buyers deserve clear answers, practical explanations, and an inspector who respects both the home and the client.

Trained to Find Failure

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.

Checklist Discipline

Every inspection follows a rigorous, methodical process. Nothing skipped, nothing assumed.

Clear Spectora Reporting

Photo-rich digital reports with practical priorities — what matters, what can wait, and what it means.

Fast Communication

Text, call, or email. Responsive scheduling that works around your closing timeline.

Real Experience

Hands-on knowledge from construction, electrical, systems, and owning and renovating homes myself.

Straight Talk

Thorough without being theatrical. Honest without unnecessary drama.

“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®

Guarantees most inspectors can't offer.

PreFlight is a participating member of three InterNACHI® programs that put real backing behind every inspection — and make hiring me easier on your wallet.

InterNACHI We'll Buy Your Home Guarantee

“We'll Buy Your Home” Guarantee

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.

InterNACHI Certified Pay for Your Inspection at Closing

Pay at Closing

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.

InterNACHI Inspection Warranty included with every inspection

90-Day Warranty — Included

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

Built on service, discipline, and experience.

Kyle Winn, owner and home inspector at PreFlight Home Inspections in Washington Township, Michigan
Kyle Winn Owner & Home Inspector

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.
