Licensing of home inspectors only sets a minimum standard. Much like being up to code, any less would be illegal. That's why I have worked hard to become a member and Certified Home Inspector through the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI). As a NACHI member I:

  • Must maintain my membership in good standing with the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI)
  • Passed NACHI's Inspector Examination and must do so every year.
  • Completed NACHI's ethics "obstacle course" which ensures that I am aware of my ethical duties as a home inspector,
  • Passed NACHI's Standards of Practice quiz,
  • Completed NACHI's comprehensive Standards of Practice course and passed the final examination.
  • Completed NACHI’s comprehensive Roofing course and passed the final examination
  • Completed NACHI’s comprehensive Electrical course and passed the final examination
  • Adhere to the industry's largest, most comprehensive Standards of Practice,
  • Abide by NACHI's Code of Ethics,
  • Adhere to a strict continuing education policy
  • Have signed and submitted an affidavit legally agreeing that I have and will continue to adhere to all NACHI standards, ethics and education requirements
  • Must maintain a continuing education log that is verified by NACHI
  • Must submit a sample of my inspection reports to NACHI's report review committee for outside evaluation,
  • Attend at least one chapter meeting or educational seminar every two years (reasonable exceptions apply),
  • Have access to the Inspector's Quarterly so I can keep up-to-date on all the latest issues in the home inspection industry

If you need a home inspection performed, don't settle for anything less than a NACHI-certified home inspector. Contact me now to schedule your inspection.
