Why Choose an ACI?

When purchasing or maintaining a home, choosing the right home inspector can make all the difference in ensuring your peace of mind and having confidence in the homebuying process. 

Why Choose an ASHI Certified Inspector?

ASHI Certified Inspectors, members of the American Society of Home Inspectors who have met the organization’s rigorous certification standards, are the gold standard in the home inspection industry. Unlike inspectors who meet only the basic requirements of state licensing, ASHI Certified Inspectors commit to achieving a higher level of expertise, professionalism, and accountability. With their comprehensive knowledge and thorough approach, ASHI Certified Inspectors are uniquely qualified to identify potential issues and provide valuable insights about your home’s condition.

What Makes an ASHI Certified Inspector Different?

To earn the ASHI Certified Inspector designation, Inspectors must meet stringent requirements that go beyond what most states mandate for home inspectors. These requirements are:

  • Follow the ASHI Standard of Practice.
  • Adhere to the ASHI Code of Ethics.
  • Pass the National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE). The NHIE is a requirement in some states but is required of all American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Certified Inspectors.
  • Complete a minimum of 250 home inspections.
  • Submit five full home inspection reports for review and approval. The reports must meet the criteria contained in both the ASHI Standard of Practice and the Code of Ethics, and must undergo the review and approval of the ASHI Certification Committee.
  • Complete 20 Continuing Education credits annually.

Be Confident in Your Home Inspection

Working with an ASHI Certified Inspector means hiring a professional who is dedicated to excellence and ethical conduct. ASHI Certified Inspectors abide by a strict Code of Ethics that prioritizes client interests and ensures impartiality. Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a home, choosing an ASHI Certified Inspector isn’t just a smart choice—it’s the best choice for safeguarding your home and your future.

Looking for a home inspector to assess your prospective property can be a daunting task. Fortunately, the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) can help simplify the process.
