LEGACY HOME INSPECTIONS · NORTH CAROLINA
Durham Home Inspections
An older Durham home, a renovated property, and a new townhome each call for different questions. Our inspection helps you understand visible conditions and decide what deserves further attention.
Schedule an InspectionOlder homes: follow the condition
Older materials and systems need context. We look at accessible structure, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and other major components, documenting visible concerns and inspection limitations. Age alone does not establish whether a component needs repair. Share prior reports and known work so you can compare the findings with the property’s history.
Renovated homes: look past the update
New finishes can make a home feel move-in ready, but they do not establish the condition of concealed work. We assess accessible components and identify observed concerns. Ask the seller for relevant permits, contractor information, and repair documentation separately. A home inspection is not a permit search or a complete code-compliance review.
New builds and townhomes
For new construction in Durham, coordinate the inspection before closing while allowing time for builder follow-up. For attached homes, discuss what can be accessed and ask for association maintenance information. Municipal approvals and attractive finishes serve different purposes from an independent inspection of the accessible property.
Put the report to work
Expect photos, descriptions of observed conditions, and recommended next steps where appropriate. Review significant findings with your real estate professional and qualified contractors. See sample reports and pricing information before booking. For inspections outside Durham, check our service-area guide.

Will the inspection uncover everything behind the walls?
No. A standard home inspection is limited to accessible and observable conditions within its scope. We explain limitations and may recommend additional evaluation when the findings warrant it.
Can I use the report to plan repairs?
Yes. It helps identify observed concerns and maintenance needs. Obtain contractor evaluations and written estimates for the work you are considering.
How much time should I leave before closing?
Allow time for the appointment, report review, and any follow-up evaluations. Tell us your transaction deadlines when you schedule rather than leaving the inspection until the final day.
Tell us about the property
Have the address and your timeline ready. We can help you confirm the scope and choose an available appointment.
