American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI)

In 1976, a group of visionary home inspectors with the common goal of building consumer awareness and enhancing the professionalism of their field, established the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). This not-for-profit professional association’s first order of business was to establish and advocate high Standards of Practice and a strict Code of Ethics for the member community.

Today, with 6,000+ members and 80+ chapters, ASHI is the largest and most respected professional association for home inspectors in North America. Through ASHI’s continued efforts, ASHI's Standards of Practice covering all of a home's major systems are now part of many pieces of state legislation and are recognized by consumers as the authoritative standard for professional home inspection.
