"From established homes on wooded lots to Germantown's newer luxury subdivisions — Jim Prudhomme and Accu-Check bring more than 16,000 inspections and 35 years of experience to every home."
Germantown is one of the most sought-after suburbs in the Memphis metro — an established, tree-lined community east of the city known for its top-rated schools, upscale neighborhoods, and equestrian heritage celebrated each year at the Germantown Charity Horse Show. Its housing runs from stately custom homes and spacious traditionals on generous, wooded lots to established brick ranches and newer luxury subdivisions. Accu-Check Home Inspection — owned and operated by Jim Prudhomme, a licensed real estate inspector in both Tennessee (#302) and Mississippi (#1045) with more than 16,000 inspections completed over 35 years — inspects homes throughout Germantown and every surrounding community.
Jim has inspected Germantown homes of every kind, from established houses on mature lots to newer construction across the area's luxury subdivisions. Every general inspection is a detailed evaluation of more than 400 separate structural and mechanical components, and Jim strongly encourages clients to follow along the entire way — so you leave understanding not just the findings, but how your home works. Because he handles every inspection personally and backs it with specialized mold, radon, and thermal-imaging testing, you get his full experience and a roughly 30-page, photo-rich report delivered within 24 hours.
Germantown's larger, established homes and wooded lots come with regional concerns an experienced local inspector knows to watch for. The Mid-South's expansive clay soils swell and shrink with the seasons, stressing foundations and crawlspaces, while hot, humid summers and heavy spring storms — along with the mature trees that make the area so beautiful — test roofs, gutters, grading, and drainage year after year. That heat and humidity also make moisture intrusion and mold a genuine concern, which is exactly why mold inspection is an Accu-Check specialty. When you're making one of the largest investments of your life, local expertise makes all the difference — call Jim at 901-491-5609 to schedule your Germantown inspection.

"Being a first-time homebuyer is nerve-wracking, but any quick Google search of the best home inspections in Memphis will feature Jim's name — and there's a reason for that. Jim and his assistant were so personable and thorough. He said he likes to treat every inspection like his own family would move into the house, and I believe him. Supremely reasonable, and he accommodated us very quickly!"

"Mr. Jim was quick to fit us in. He took his time and was very detailed, and he answered every question we had about what he documented in the report. Could not recommend a better person.

Answers to the most common questions Germantown-area homeowners ask before scheduling a home inspection.
A general home inspection is a detailed evaluation of more than 400 separate structural and mechanical components — the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, attic, crawlspace, and interior and exterior. Every finding is documented with digital photos and explained in plain language, so you understand the true condition of the home.
For an average Germantown-area home, plan on a few hours on-site, and longer for the area's larger custom homes. Jim never rushes — clients often note he's far more thorough than inspectors who hurry through in under an hour.
