Our inspectors are Certified Professional Inspectors CPI® trained by InterNACHI—the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (www.NACHI.org)—which is the world's largest nonprofit association of residential and commercial property inspectors that provides education, training, and certification.
All InterNACHI-Certified Professional Inspectors CPI® are required to pass an Inspector Exam, follow a comprehensive Standards of Practice, abide by a strict Code of Ethics, and take accredited Continuing Education courses each year in order to maintain their membership in good standing.
In order to become certified, our inspectors were required to take inspection courses related to the interior and exterior of the home, including the common and major areas of concern for home buyers, such as the foundation, heating and cooling, roof, plumbing, and electrical systems. Our inspectors are graduates of the InterNACHI® School, the world's only home inspector college that offers the nationally-accredited Home Inspector Certificate Program.
Buying a home is typically the biggest investment you will ever make, so it's important to get a home inspection because the inspector can find and document defects that may or may not be evident to you. Such defects can range from simple replacements or repairs to severe damage or safety and health concerns.
Meet Larry James: Amarillo’s Most Thorough (and Honest) Home Inspector
Howdy, neighbor —
If you're reading this, you’re probably lookin’ for someone who knows what they’re doing when it comes to home inspections in Amarillo or somewhere nearby like Canyon or Borger. Well, I’m Larry James — Army veteran, former law enforcement officer, and your go-to guy for inspections done right.
Now, I didn’t grow up dreaming about climbing into attics or squeezing behind water heaters. But I did grow up learning how things work — and more importantly, how they break.
Before I ever strapped on a badge or served in the U.S. Army working on helicopter weapon systems (think Black Hawk Down meets Fixer Upper), I was swinging hammers and climbing roofs right here in Texas. I’ve framed walls, run plumbing lines with a Master Plumber, and later — after my service — I learned electrical systems working side by side with a Master Electrician while turning wrenches as an industrial mechanic.
I’ve worked in some of the toughest environments you can imagine — but nothing humbles you faster than crawling into a hot attic in July in Happy, TX.
At Howzit Look Inspections LLC, we believe in getting it right the first time. Whether we’re inspecting a family home off Georgia Street in Amarillo or a farmhouse out past Dimmitt, our goal is the same: give you the truth, give it straight, and give it with the experience to back it up.
General Home Inspections (Amarillo to Childress and Beyond)
When I inspect a home, I’m not just checkin’ boxes. I’m looking for the real stuff that makes or breaks your investment. From busted flashing on a roof in Shamrock to cracked foundations out in Tulia, I know what failure looks like — and I’ve seen what happens when folks ignore it. I use professional tools, and a whole lot of know-how earned in the field (not a weekend crash course). No fluff. No filler. Just a detailed, easy-to-understand report that tells you what’s what.

A House Inspector's Promise to You, the Client
I might not wear a uniform anymore, but I still believe in integrity, respect, and showing up when I say I will. My wife says I’ve got the people skills of a rusty shovel, but I am honest, and I do know my stuff. From first-time buyers in Nazareth to seasoned investors out in Pampa, I bring the same level of care, detail, and straight-shootin’ service every time.
I serve Amarillo and all across the Texas Panhandle — Dumas, Claude, Friona, Clarendon, even way out in Memphis. If it’s on the map, I’ll be there.
So whether you’re buying your dream home, selling the old ranch, or just want peace of mind before the big move — give me a shout.
Let’s make sure your next move doesn’t come with surprise repairs and regrets.
Call now to schedule your inspection — and let’s get it done right.
