add confidence to your home buying experience

Hello and welcome! I'm Sean and I'm a home inspector in Syracuse, NY. For me, it's not just about inspecting homes - it's about providing a sense of security and understanding during what may be one of the most significant decisions of your life.  Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious about the state of your current home, I'm here to help. I want to offer you a clear picture of your home's health, so you can make informed choices, feel safe and have peace of mind. I believe in taking a careful, detail-oriented approach to each inspection, because your home is more than just an investment—it's where your life happens. So, let's get to know your home together, and I promise, it'll be more than just checking off boxes. Call or email to get started!

What people are saying

Sean was excellent to work with. He was fast, affordable, knowledgeable, and concise. Great to communicate with through text, call, email, and face to face answering any and all questions I had. I highly recommend Tall Order for your home inspection or radon testing needs! -Madison

I highly recommend Tall Order Home Inspection. Sean is professional and thorough. More important, he is patient and kind. I had a lot of questions about the home I was purchasing. He took the time to answer each one. He even pointed out potential issues and common-sense care and maintenance that I never would have considered until it was too late. Finally, the sellers forgot to turn the gas on in the house, so Sean made an extra trip to verify everything was working once they had the gas turned on. That really helped put my mind at ease. Overall, my home inspection was informative, and it significantly reduced the stress of purchasing my home. -Jay

about

I provide residential and commercial home inspections in the Syracuse and Central New York area. My goal is to give confidence and peace of mind to your home buying experience with a clear and easy to follow report.

My name is Sean Smith and I started Tall Order Home Inspection in October 2019. I spent the first 15 years of my professional career designing custom industrial machinery as a mechanical engineer. Throughout my adult life I’ve always been a weekend warrior, tackling all projects large and small around the house. When I decided to go into business for myself, home inspection was the natural route to take. Its not only a field I enjoy, but also, one where I could give back to my community by taking some of the stress out of the home buying experience.
