Home Inspector in Borger, TX
Howdy, Borger homeowners and prospective buyers!
Every house has a story—and here in Borger, we know a thing or two about history. From the wild oil boomtown days when Ace Borger founded the city in 1926, to Gov. Daniel J. Moody declaring martial law to calm the crime and chaos, this town has always been full of grit and resilience. That same spirit lives on today, whether you’re catching an event at The Dome, visiting the Hutchinson County Historical Museum, or enjoying Lake Meredith just up the road.
​
If you’re buying or selling a home in Borger, you deserve an inspection that matches that same no-nonsense approach: straight talk, no fluff, and a clear picture of what’s really going on with your property.

I’m Larry James, owner of Howzitlook Inspections LLC. My background spans law enforcement, the U.S. Army (working on helicopter weapon systems), and hands-on trades like roofing, plumbing, electrical, and framing. I’ve also worked as an industrial mechanic, which means I’ve spent a lifetime spotting problems before they get dangerous. When I inspect a house in Borger, I’m looking deeper than the surface.
Why Borger Homeowners Trust Our House Inspections
Borger isn’t just another small town—it’s a place built on oil, carbon black, and refinery work, where homes have been through decades of Panhandle wind, weather, and shifting soil. I understand what that does to foundations, roofs, and mechanical systems.
​
Whether you’re near the Borger Refinery, living closer to the quiet edges of Lake Meredith, or enjoying the neighborhoods around downtown, I bring local knowledge into every inspection. I know what to look for, because I’ve seen how homes here age, shift, and wear over time.
