In some states, yes. Inspector licensing is regional. ABCHI facilitates this process so you meet all licensing requirements. Even with a lack of mandatory licensing across North America we operate as if there is licensing. Each of our Inspectors receives extensive technical, field, business & operations training – no different then if someone wishes to become a trades person. They apprentice first & then become a Journeymen/woman. All ABCHI Inspectors are trained and certified at level that exceeds the highest national level. In fact, ABCHI Inspectors are training at a level so high they could do an Inspection anywhere in North America that has mandatory licensing in place.

As with any business, there are start up costs. ABCHI franchises are designed as a turnkey business. Included in the franchise fee is full technical, field, business & operations training, digital and traditional marketing, print marketing, clothing, software, specialized tools, as well as the support of over 200 ABCHI Franchisees. This is not an exhaustive list. During the franchisee interview process we provide full details as part of our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

ABCHI is an industry leader and one of the largest inspection companies in North America, providing a tried and true successful business model backed by our well-established and trusted brand. Our journey started in 2005 by a 20-year Real Estate veteran, who was tired of encountering unprofessional and unqualified home inspectors. After just two years, ABCHI is now the largest home inspection franchise in the Canada, New Zealand and India, and is one of the fastest growing brands in the United States. We currently have over 200 Franchise/Sub-Franchise owners in North America all with the freedom of working for themselves.

Our services include a non-invasive visual inspection of the foundation and basement, roof, attic, heating and water systems, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as the general condition of the structure itself. We will look for poor construction practices and make note of any repairs that might be required or any general maintenance issues. Most importantly, we make note of any fire and safety issues that need to be addressed and educate clients on the overall condition of the property. Our Inspectors assist, comfort & protect home buyers, sellers and their REALTOR®. By focusing on developing and maintaining local, trust-based relationships with its customers, ABCHI has created a home inspection business unlike any other.
