About St. Matthews Homes
St. Matthews is a small independent city in the heart of the East End, with convenient access to shopping and the Shelbyville Road corridor. Most homes are brick ranches, split-levels and Cape Cods from the mid-20th century, and a growing number have been renovated or flipped to meet strong demand.
Beargrass Creek and its tributaries run through the area, so drainage and flood history deserve a closer look than the listing photos suggest. We examine basements, crawlspaces and grading, and we look at renovation quality, because fresh finishes can cover older problems.
Inspection Services in St. Matthews
St. Matthews buyers often add radon testing and thermal imaging to check for hidden moisture, especially in basements. Every HomeMD inspection is performed by a licensed, certified inspector and backed by a detailed photo report.
