Tom's thorough inspection saved me thousands of dollars. His experience and knowledge found multiple problems with the property that paid me big dividends during the negotiation stage of buying my house. Additionally, Tom found a rusted out structural column in the crawl space. That could have been catastrophic! I would highly recommend using Legacy Home Inspections. read more

Great experience!! Called on a Monday and the inspection happened the next day. Tom was very professional and polite. He explained everything in detail and made suggestions. Would use them again! read more

2 stars because they showed up and gave us a report as requested. You would THINK that given it's a new home, it should be easy to find issue. However, they missed several basic things (i.e pipe rattles when toilet flushes, sprinkler system not to code, sump pump not installed correctly). Also, I don't trust radon report as my neighbor (attached in duplex) had vastly different results. I sent them an email with my concerns back in April and never heard back. I'd look elsewhere. read more

My Real Estate Agent recommended Legacy Home inspections during the purchase of a home. The inspector arrived on time. I foolishly relied on their insurance to cover errors and omissions. Don't make the same mistake. The Inspector did not find problems totaling over $5500 to fix. They take no responsibility for omissions, referring you to their contract that is so one sided it is more like a waiver of responsibility for them. 1 One of the electrical outlets did not work. The owner Tom's initial response was that there must have been something blocking access to the outlet because they always check every outlet. Upon being told the room in question was empty his next response was that they are only required to test a random selection. 2 One of the bedroom windows had a broken mechanism for raising the window. Tom's response was the same as above. 3. The AC unit outside was so damaged that the HVAC guys would not even service it. The responses were as follows: There was snow around the unit (about an inch), the unit was covered and we do not inspect covered items (there was a canvas BBQ type cover thrown over it), we can't move personal property (again a canvas BBG type cover), we don't have to inspect (even visually) the AC in winter, they are not required to inspect items not readily accessible (again the canvas cover), the inspection is not technically exhaustive, the inspector is not an expert at anything he's a generalist (whatever that is). The inspector took a photo of the tag on the unit. The tag was placed at the top of the unit so to do so he had to raise the canvas cover exposing that entire side. I have included the inspector's photo of the tag and my photo showing the tag and the exposed damage. I have attached the photos. I would add the following thoughts. The ASHI membership which they tout as evidence of their professionalism and purportedly follow their guidelines, is nothing more than a group of inspectors. There is no evidence in my opinion of consumer protections. The contract is one sided; the only commitment to the consumer is to use ASHI guidelines then goes on to exclude any errors or omissions by the inspector. It's sort of like trusting the fox in the hen house. There is no accountability by the inspector for their work. The contract is written to protect the insurance company from claims; they deny based on the contract. In the unlikely event that the inspector admits fault, they are liable only for the fee you paid. For the same money you can get a licensed HVAC inspection, a Roofing inspection, a Plumbing inspection, an Electrical inspection and your brother-in-law and get information you can count on. I priced it out, you really can Use these guys at your own risk, literally. The above is my opinion after using them. Also there are 2 more negative reviews "not recommended" by Yelp. read more

Dick did an amazing job with our inspection, and it was under a pretty short notice too. He was very friendly, and wanted myself and the other seller involved with what was going on. He got us the full reports by the end of the day! I really appreciated Dick's thorough inspection, and look forward having him complete another inspection in the future. read more

Beware they do not test your appliances, nor do they check for power to your outlets or light fixtures. The inspector clicked the light switch and stated the bad light bulb. I purchased a home and ended up with all of the appliances broken and no electricity in the bedroom, not because of the bad light bulb but a MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE issue! read more

I have used Legacy Home inspections multiple times during the buying and selling process. I have been very impressed with their services. It is very clear in the contract with them and for buyers and sellers to remember a home inspection is a general inspection of the home. The purpose of the inspection is to focus on big ticket items. If a roof comes up as an issue, I am always reminded to get a good roofer to take a look at the roof. A/C units & sprinkler systems are not part of the home inspection partly because of the Colorado weather. I am reading some of the reviews and unfortunately some of the consumers were not aware of how a home inspection works. Several times after the home inspection, I have hired additional specialty contractors to further evaluate issues brought up by the home inspection. Because of the home inspectors at Legacy, they have saved me thousands of dollars over the years!! The purpose of the home inspection is very clear, its not to focus on every minor issue. Sounds like a few buyers did not understand home inspectors do not remove personal property to access areas (to much liability to be moving around personal possessions) and they do not turn on systems that are winterized or shut off? I would highly recommend this company! read more

These guys missed so much in their inspection. The missed a bent/twisted steel support beam in the basement that was totally exposed. The door leading out into the garage wouldn't even close! Stay away from them read more
