What We Inspect

Our home inspections cover every critical area of your home to ensure no hidden issues go unnoticed.

ROOF

We assess the number of roofing layers, the condition of shingles, and look for any signs of leaks or damage in both the living areas and the attic.

STRUCTURE

We carefully examine all accessible structural components, including the foundation, basement, and attic, for signs of movement, alteration, or potential structural deficiencies.

PLUMBING

Our inspection includes evaluating water pressure drainage systems and examining water supply pipes, drains, and fixtures for leaks. We also assess the condition and age of the water heater.

HEATING & COOLING

We check the furnace or boiler for proper function and look for signs of recent maintenance. Weather permitting, we test the air conditioning unit and assess the overall age of the HVAC systems.

ELECTRICAL

We evaluate the electrical system’s amperage, voltage, and panel condition. We also check for overcrowding, corrosion, and safety hazards, ensuring all outlets are properly grounded and functioning.

WINDOWS

Since replacing windows can be costly, our certified home inspectors will inspect for proper operation, damaged glass or frames, and check for broken thermal seals or efficiency issues.

Joe and David did an excellent job at our inspection. As first time homebuyers ourselves, there is much we don’t know about homes and all that can go wrong - they really took the time to explain the process and each finding as well as the importance and potential treatment of those findings. They took their time and did a very thorough job which we really appreciated! They were very friendly and overall we had a great experience with Joe and David as well as the legacy group as a whole! Thank you!

Paul and team were excellent to work with! They did our home inspection for a large, unique layout/setup, 100-yr old home - arrived with a full team and were very thorough and explanative. Had a very positive experience overall and would definitely recommend.

Just had a home inspection today using Legacy Inspection Group. Joe and Chris came out to review the home and it was a fantastic experience! Both were extremely professional, quick, and easily explained found issues. They also answered all of our questions and quicky sent over a detailed report with their findings and recommendations.

I absolutely recommend them if you're looking for inspectors and plan on reaching out if I need a home inspection in the future!

I’ve purchased many homes over the past 10 years and I have never worked with such a professional, thorough home inspection company…EVER. Larry was phenomenal. They were available next day, they had 3 inspectors show up to expedite the process, and they were very communicative and thorough throughout the entire process! I would highly recommend for anyone looking to purchase a home! 5 STARS plus some for this team!

Larry and Rick tag teamed on the inspection of a new townhouse we're looking to buy. The unit was in good shape but the pair still made some very notable callouts and were very patient in answering all of my detailed questions ranging from the usual home inspection questions to questions about home engineering standards. Would definitely use these folks again! Thanks Larry and Rick!

Buyer Beware! I used this company to do the inspection for the purchase of my and my wife's first home... They missed VISIBLE water damage in the basement which resulted in a much larger problem and thousands of dollars of required demolition and remediation (I am holding my breathe on what it costs to put back together). Despite picture evidence, they are not willing to stand behind their work.

If you are interested in keeping a boat in your basement, this may be the group to use, otherwise I would not recommend.

Please note the owner's initial response to my review was the following - it was NOT my home. I have removed the house address and link to report for privacy purposes for the other customer.

Legacy Inspection Response on September 19, 2024

I have posted a link our report of xxx Sonoma circle from April 19, 2024 below. You can see from the report 1. The basement was full of storage at the time of the inspection. 2. We noted a crack with signs of seepage that we recommended be addressed prior to closing. Mr. Nicholson ignored this till after he moved into the home. Upon finding seepage he hired a remediation company to sell him a bunch of unnecessary repairs and then contacted us to try to cover the cost of the needless work. Had he contacted us initially instead of a salesperson he may have saved himself from paying for a bunch of unnecessary repairs. This is yet another case of an unsavvy home owner being taken advantage of by an eager salesperson. To see photos of the basement at the time of the inspection and our recommendation to have the foundation crack repaired prior to closing copy and paste the link to the report of 3686 Sonoma, Lake in the Hills into your web browser.

------------------------

As you can see, Legacy Inspection Group takes the following approach:
- Hasty and petty in their customer interactions
- Lack of attention to detail to not even link the right home
- Blame the customer first approach
- Lack of concern for any customer privacy

The two pictures I have linked are clear - there was obvious water damage in the basement which Legacy Inspection missed.

Based upon their reaction to my review, they seem to be in stage 1 (denial) or stage 2 (anger) of the Five Stages of Grief. Perhaps one day they will get there. In the meantime, hopefully this review helps future customers be aware of who they are doing business with.

We had Joe, Chris and Bob. They were at the house early and were ready to show me issues immediately. They were all very knowledgeable and courteous. They work together very well and quickly. They took the time to explain how certain systems work and answered every question. I feel that we have a very good understanding of the condition of the house we are buying. They emailed us the report before we even left the property!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Legacy (specifically Paul & Ricardo) for a home inspection, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Paul & Ricardo struck the perfect balance between being thorough and informative without overwhelming me with unnecessary details. They were incredibly patient, taking the time to explain everything in a clear and concise manner. Their professionalism and attention to detail reassured me throughout the process, making what could have been a stressful experience smooth and manageable. If you're looking for an inspection company that goes above and beyond while keeping your best interests in mind, Legacy is the one to choose!
