Maryland Home Inspector-Standards & Code of Ethics 

Arundel Home Inspection LLC

Proudly serving -  Baltimore, Annapolis, Anne Arundel, Prince Georges, and surrounding areas.

Standards of Practice and Codes of Ethics are guidelines that are developed to protect the homeowner and the industry, and to provide inspectors with performance guidelines.  Some individual companies develop their own standards. There are also several organizations related to the home inspection industry that have set standards. 

 
Many home inspectors are members of one or more of these organizations so they abide by these standards. I am a member of The National Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. , NAHI for short.  I will abide by their Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics  while conducting a home inspection for you.  In some cases I may exceed these standards. 

 
To maintain membership over the years, NAHI will require that I engage in ongoing education in the field of home inspection. I am very much looking forward to this as it will give me an ever growing opportunity to expand my knowledge and business services.

I have listed the links below which will take you to the NAHI Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.
