Residential Home Inspections
When it comes to home inspections, we are the best choice for homeowners, homebuyers, and real estate professionals. We work to objectively collect and present the facts to you and your real estate professional.
1 Year Warranty Inspections
Our one year inspection allows you to discover the details of any concerns you may have discovered in the first year of your new home. Our extensive inspection will empower you to provide a detailed list to your homes warranty group.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging allows us to see issues that are not visible to the naked eye and more accurately detect structural, mechanical and electrical problems. Thermal imaging will be included in your detailed report.
We understand that buying a home is perhaps the most expensive purchase you will ever make. Every buyer wants to ensure the property they are purchasing is a solid investment. Our core objective is to inform homebuyers of any potential safety hazards and possible major defects in the home and its many systems, which are often unnoticed by the untrained eye. Trust Legacy Home Inspections to provide you with a thorough, unbiased report of your future home..
Our home inspection reports are intuitive and modern, with built-in features to help you and your real estate agent easily build a repair-request document that reflects customized comments from you about repairs or seller concessions.
A home inspection is not to be considered technically exhaustive nor does it identify concealed conditions or latent defects. A home inspection should be considered a "snap-shot" of the home from one single point in time. As all homes age and are in a continual state of deterioration, the homeowner must preform regular inspection and maintenance of their home to maintain and repair systems and components as they age, or contract qualified professionals to preform such regular inspection and maintenance as needed.
