At an organizational level, there may indeed be differing levels of membership. And yet, at the transactional level we have not found an inspector from one organization to be more thorough, or better informed than the other by virtue of membership. There are individual home inspectors we never recommend, some in NACHI, some in ASHI, and some with no affiliation in a professional organization for home inspectors. The post has been updated to include your organization. Thank you for bringing the oversight to our attention. Thank you, Nick, for reminding us of your association for home inspectors.
