ASHI started in August 1976 and has created the Standard of Practice that most home inspectors use in the course of the home inspections they perform every day. ASHI's Standard is utilized to some degree in every state that licences home inspectors (approximately 36 states); all provinces in Canada; and national, state, and local home inspection organizations.
ASHI is the 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.
