About Me

The only girl growing up in a sea of four brothers, our owner and Inspector in Chief, Kari “Rosie” Cheek, has been a tough cookie her entire life. A homeschooled, Methodist pastor’s daughter, she received her B.A. degree in English from the University of Kentucky in 2008, after which she ventured out into the world of building and rehabbing houses through AmeriCorps NCCC, serving people through non-profits throughout the southern region of the United States. Upon going through the process of purchasing her first home (a real fixer upper!), she was inspired to study up and pursue a career as a Home Inspector, having always been something of a building science geek. After obtaining her KY Home Inspector’s license and establishing Rosie Home Inspections in 2014, Kari has made it her goal to go above and beyond for each of her clients, providing them with an extensive array of information about their prospective home, and making sure they understood each deficiency and its implication in a photo based format. Over the years, Kari has dedicated herself to the study of building science, adding an arsenal of knowledge and certifications to better serve her clients, including radon and mold testing, WDI (wood destroying insect) identification, and commercial property analysis.

We recently worked with Rosie Home Inspections and couldn’t be more impressed. Kari was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. The inspection report was detailed and easy to understand, giving us clear insight into what needed attention in our new home and what to plan for down the road. Always great to have to prepare! Her level of care and expertise gave us so much confidence as we purchase our second (forever) home. We highly recommend Rosie Home Inspections and Kari to anyone looking for a trusted, reliable inspector! She was incredible!

ROSIE Home Inspection was excellent! They rapidly scheduled the inspection, which was a huge help. Our inspector, Kari, was incredibly attentive and thoroughly explained all the information about the house. The final report was very detailed and clearly organized, making it easy to find everything we needed. Highly recommend!
