Since 1976, ASHI has worked to build consumer awareness of home inspection and to enhance the professionalism of its membership. The ASHI Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics serves as a performance guideline for home inspectors, and is universally recognized and accepted by many professional and governmental bodies. While the ASHI Certification is an important factor, just like any organization this does not insure the best in the field. We strongly recommend you ask additional questions to insure your selection is not only an ASHI member, but has the training, experience, background and professional ethics that meet your needs.
