• Use one of the home inspection companies that are members of a recognized industry association, such as the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).

Members aren't permitted to advertise their partnership within the association unless all the standards of the ASHI are met. Contacting the association directly will enable you to check on members in your local state.
• Talk to friends and family members. Someone you know will in all likelihood have been in contact with a home inspection company at some point. Just ask to see if they have a particular inspector that can be recommended.
