ASHI stands for American Society of Home Inspectors. ASHI’s standards of practice have become the leader in the industry.
Only an ASHI inspector can provide you with a professional, personalized inspection that combines more than 40 years of the highest technical standards, adherence to a strict code of ethics and the very best in customer service and education. We call this “The ASHI Experience”.

We welcome all of our clients to attend the home inspection. The average inspection takes 3-4 hours to complete. If you don’t have the time to attend, we at least encourage you to sit down with your inspector afterwards to go over the findings in the report.

If you are off island or unable to attend, no problem, the report will explain everything. All findings are described in detail with pictures.
