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 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.”
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.
