The NC Home Inspection Licensure Board dictates the minimum standards that a home inspector should follow.  It is my pledge to strive for the highest level of excellence in my field.  That's why I have worked to become a member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI). As a NACHI member, I:

• Pass NACHI's Online Inspector Examination every year. This general, not association-specific exam is an industry standard required by NACHI and some state licensing boards,
• Adhere to the industry's largest, most comprehensive Standards of Practice,
• Abide by NACHI's Code of Ethics,
• Follow a strict continuing education policy that requires, among other things, that I receive 24 hours of continuing education each year,
• Have completed NACHI's ethics "obstacle course" which ensures that I am aware of my ethical duties as a home inspector,
• Have passed NACHI's Standards of Practice quiz,
• Have signed and submitted an affidavit legally agreeing that I have and will continue to adhere to all NACHI standards, ethics and education requirements,
• Maintain a continuing education log that is verified by NACHI,
• Submit a portion of my inspection reports to NACHI's report review committee for outside evaluation,
• Am required to successfully complete NACHI's comprehensive Standards of Practice course and examination, Roofing course and examination and Electrical course and examination,
• 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,
• Have access to a number of learning tools such as inspection tips and technique illustrations, a library of home inspection books and videos, the industry's largest message board, NACHI's "what's new" publication of recent inspection news, Dear NACHI," a detailed advice column, free online courses, quizzes, and exams, and the NACHI University,
• Have access to a time-tested agreement that helps avoid lawsuits,
• Have access to a free report review and mentoring service,
• Have access to the NACHI Mall, and
• Provide access to a free consumer hot-line.
• 90 day limited structural and mechanical home warranty included with full inspections.
