Re-Inspections & Repair Verification in Amarillo, TX

What is a Re-Inspection?

A re-inspection is exactly what it sounds like — a follow-up inspection after repairs have been made based on my original report. Whether you’re buying, selling, or negotiating, this step helps ensure the repairs were actually completed properly (and not just duct-taped together like Cousin Eddie’s RV).

​

Other names you might hear:

  • Repair Verification
     

  • Follow-Up Inspection
     

  • Post-Repair Inspection
     

Different names, same mission: making sure you’re getting the home you were promised.  Basically, it’s your way of saying: “Trust, but verify.” (Thanks, Ronald Reagan.)

​

Here in the Texas Panhandle, we know repairs can be tricky. Between Amarillo’s winds strong enough to turn a trampoline into a UFO, and the occasional hailstorm that looks like it came straight from a weather-themed action movie, repairs need to be more than skin-deep.

​

A re-inspection helps you:

  • Confirm repairs were completed professionally
     

  • Avoid surprise costs after closing
     

  • Strengthen your negotiating power
     

  • Sleep better knowing your investment is solid
     

Bottom line: it’s cheaper to pay for me to come back and check than to replace an HVAC unit in August when it’s hotter than a brisket smoker at Cadillac Ranch.

Why Buyers & Sellers Need Repair Verification Inspections in the Texas Panhandle

Howdy, folks — Larry James here. Let me tell you something I’ve learned after years of inspecting homes across Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle: when someone says, “Don’t worry, we fixed it,” that doesn’t always mean the job’s done right. Sometimes it means they slapped on duct tape, crossed their fingers, and hoped you wouldn’t notice. (Great for a sitcom gag, not so great for your roof.)

That’s where Re-Inspections — also known as Repair Verification Inspections — come in. Think of it as the sequel to your original home inspection. You hand me the contractor’s repair list, and I make sure everything was done correctly, safely, and up to code. No guesswork, no “just trust us,” just clear answers.

What Gets Checked During a Re-Inspection?

When I return for a re-inspection, I focus specifically on the items that were marked for repair. Common areas include:

  • Roofing patches or replacements
     

  • Electrical fixes (outlets, wiring, panels)
     

  • Plumbing repairs and leaks
     

  • HVAC tune-ups or replacement units
     

  • Foundation work
     

  • Any “contractor said they handled it” items
     

If it was flagged on my original report, I’ll make sure it was addressed properly.

Get Peace of Mind with a Home Repair Verification in Amarillo

A re-inspection might not be the flashiest part of buying or selling a home — but it might be the smartest. Call it your home’s final exam before move-in day. And unlike that one college professor who graded everything on a curve, I’m not letting any “repairs” slide.
