The Scope of Home Inspection
The scope of a home inspection is well defined by the American Society of Home Inspectors’ Standards of Practice. Home inspection is a professional consulting service offered by trained professionals who evaluate one- to four-family dwellings. It focuses on the performance of the home, rather than cosmetic, code or design issues.
