I am a Certified Arizona Home Inspector, (# 38451). All inspections are performed in compliance with the Standards of Professional Practice for Arizona Home Inspectors. I do not work on homes I inspect (or any homes, inspecting in my only business), nor do I refer contractors or repairmen. I am a Certified Member of the American Society of Home Inspectors, ASHI? (#102673). ASHI is the recognized leading organization of professional home inspectors. ASHI members have passed difficult exams and are required to take continuing education classes. ASHI’s Standards of Practice have become the national standard for home inspections, and in fact have been adopted by Arizona as the Standards of Professional Practice for Arizona Home Inspectors. While inspectors that are not ASHI members may advertise that their reports meet or exceed the ASHI Standards of Practice, you have no assurance they will and no recourse if they do not. Only ASHI members can use the ASHI logo; this is your assurance of quality. I am also a member of the Arizona
Chapter of ASHI. The Arizona chapter is large and
very active, and has several education seminars each
year. In fact, I am very involved with the chapter,
having served as the Northern District Director, two
terms as the Treasurer, and I currently serve as
Vice President. I come from a general contractor
background. I keep my contractors license current to
impress people (#099511), but please keep in mind
that a contractor is only a good background and
extensive additional training is needed to be a
qualified home inspector. I am a Certified Building
Inspector with the International Conference of
Building Officials (they write the Uniform Building
Code that is used in all western states, including
Arizona). I am also a member of several other
relevant professional organizations, among others
the National Fire Protection Agency (they write the
National Electric Code), International Association
of Electrical Inspectors, etc.
