Detailed, easy-to-understand inspections for Franklin homebuyers and sellers — from a Kentucky Licensed Home Inspector who knows Simpson County's homes inside and out.
Franklin is the seat of Simpson County and one of South Central Kentucky's fastest-growing communities — a town that sits right on Interstate 65 just a few miles north of the Tennessee line, putting it within easy reach of both Bowling Green and Nashville. That location, along with attractions like Kentucky Downs, has made Franklin a popular landing spot for commuters and families looking for small-town living with big-city access. The result is a steady stream of homes changing hands, from historic houses around the courthouse square to brand-new construction in the subdivisions filling in around the city. Holland Home Inspections serves buyers and sellers across all of it.
Like the rest of the region, Franklin sits on karst limestone, so sinkholes, underground drainage, and moisture in basements and crawlspaces are worth a close look on any local home — and the bedrock also tends to produce elevated radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer. With so much new construction going up around Franklin, an independent inspection is just as valuable on a recently built home as on an older one; new doesn't always mean flawless, and Matt's hands-on contractor background means he knows exactly where builders cut corners and where problems tend to hide.
Holland offers radon testing, air quality and mold testing, pest inspections, and septic tracer inspections right alongside the standard home inspection, so Franklin buyers can cover everything in a single visit. Every inspection comes with a detailed, easy-to-understand report delivered in less than 24 hours, and Matt takes the time to walk you through the findings so you understand not just what was found, but what it means. When you're ready to schedule your Franklin inspection, call or text 270-991-9229 or use the contact form, and we'll get right back to you.

Learn More →Yes — new construction benefits from an independent inspection just as much as an older home.

Matt's contractor background means he knows exactly where to look, so you can move in with confidence or have items corrected before closing.
They're worth understanding. Franklin and Simpson County sit on karst limestone, which is prone to sinkholes and unusual drainage. Most homes are fine, but the geology makes foundation movement and drainage issues more common, so a thorough inspection examines the foundation, grading, and drainage carefully.
Yes. The limestone bedrock in our region tends to produce elevated radon, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer and undetectable without a test. Holland can perform radon testing right alongside your home inspection.
