I have a friend in real estate who recommended a home inspector that he worked with in the past when I was considering the purchase of a house a while back. The inspector was honest enough to say that he would not do the inspection or charge us, because he had previously inspected that house and found severe structural issues due to fire damage that wasn't repaired properly.....

The organization is called ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors).

I used an inspector who is a member of ASHI with my new construction home. I actually hired him 4 times for the same house: pre back fill foundation inspection, pre dry wall inspection, pre settlement inspection, and just before the 1 year warranty was up on the house.
