Why can’t I do it myself?

Even the most experienced homeowner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a professional ASHIWW home inspector. An ASHIWW inspector is familiar with the elements of home construction, proper installation, maintenance and home safety.

For accurate information, it is best to obtain an impartial, third-party opinion by a professional in the field of home inspection.
