Founded by a Commercial & Residential Builder, Master Carpenter, & Department of Energy Home Inspector
WHAT MAKES US SO DIFFERENT?

The Legacy Inspection Group was founded by a former commercial and residential builder which allows us to expertly handle any size of commercial or residential property with ease.
Since 1998, the founder (Bretton) has personally built over 700 residential homes from Phoenix to Lake Powell including luxury residential, log homes, ground-up commercial properties, and even remodeled multiple floors of the most iconic skyscrapers on Central Avenue in Phoenix.
Rest assured, you're in the most competent and experienced hands in the inspection industry.
EXPERIENCE IS EVERYTHING

Assuming that all home inspectors are equally trained is the single most costly mistake a homebuyer could make when choosing an inspector. Just like building codes, a home inspector's license only demonstrates that an inspector has met the state's minimum standards once.
The majority of our clients are surprised to learn that most home inspectors in Northern AZ have little to no construction experience at all! For this reason, most inspectors market their services based on having the lowest price hoping prospective clients will simply choose the cheapest price inspector expecting the same service.
THE VALUE OF AN UNBIASED OPINION

A home inspection is an unbiased 3rd party assessment of a property. Our primary obligation is maintaining the safety and functionality of the housing inventory after a home is built and is no longer required to be code compliant.
As state-licensed "generalists", we attempt to describe the current condition and functionality of each property as currently needed repairs have an impact on your valuation of a property.
Once identified, repair / replacement costs should be obtained from state-licensed "specialists" (contractors) within your inspection period to better understand their significance. Such repairs are often negotiated further under the advisement of a Realtor.
OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR CLIENTS

Simply put, our goal is to provide the highest quality service. By employing decades of construction management and building science training, we not only raise the bar, we provide an unparalleled value to our clients.
Utilizing two and a half decades of construction, inspection, and real estate experience, we inspect each property as if our family were the one's buying it. We routinely elaborate on common repair methods in our inspection reports and can verbally share an opinion of probable repair costs to help our clients better understand the real-world impact of the repairs we have recommended.
