I have worked with Lynn twice now. First, I was referred to her by a decluttering service in…read moreWestern Springs. Thus, she handled my parents' estate sale in Western Springs and got a very good return on the overall sale. Then I had to do an emergency move from a Hinsdale rental home due to severe water damage and a ceiling about to collapse. Lynn helped me come up with a game plan and conducted a moving sale with short notice. I was very lucky to be taken on as a client as she's normally very booked but the pandemic may have provided an opening. Lynn and her staff are extremely efficient and set up your household items like a high-end boutique and showcase them very well. Lynn worked hard to continue selling items on social media even after the moving sale which brought in top dollars ultimately for me. I appreciated having a contract and a timeline of events in terms of when Lynn and her staff needed to get in to prepare the home, the moving sale, incredible clean up by Lynn and her crew, and the Salvation Army pick up of final items. Then Lynn and her crew even took things over to a children's cancer ward at the Downers Grove hospital. I am truly grateful for an estate/moving expert like Lynn who not only helps you get top dollar for your items, but also is very focused on giving back to the community!

NEGLIGENCE. That is the word the newspaper advice lawyer used when I wrote to him about our…read moresituation. We hired Joel based on a recommendation from our realtor. That may have been our first mistake. However, we have worked with our realtor for years and trusted him. I called Joel on a Saturday. He was friendly & sounded confident, letting me know that he had been in the home building field for decades, but was now an inspector with a standalone business, so there would be no suspicious crossover. He told me about his infrared camera that could detect moisture behind walls and in ceilings. My realtor had already praised this, so we were familiar and of course, it sounded good to us. Joel promised he'd email me more information about his services and he did, right away. We agreed upon a time for the home inspection. His fee was $500-no small amount for my husband and me. When we arrived the day of the inspection, Joel was sitting in his truck. He was again very friendly & talkative. He let us know that he had arrived about an hour early, and used his time to visually inspect and take photos of the outside of the house. We went inside and he talked with us about what seemed like every inch of the house. Many times he assured us that his report would seem 'scary' to a layman, but he would let us know what was crucial and what was a technical detail. We really felt like he did a thorough job. He did mention that his son had been playing with the infrared camera recently, but he brushed it off like everything was fine. He noted a couple leaky sinks, some outlets that needed to be brought up to code. We walked away from the inspection feeling good about the 50-some-year-old house we were buying. A few days later, we received the official report via email. It was detailed, included photos, & was color-coded based on the urgency of each issue. Our lawyer used that to negotiate repairs, which the seller agreed to. We received a receipt detailing the work that was done prior to closing. Fast forward to move-in. My husband painted the living room. When he pulled away the painter's tape from the ceiling, we found black mold. I ran the dishwasher; it leaked all over the floor. How could that be? Joel had run the dishwasher the day of inspection, but not the full cycle. Then my husband and I took our first showers in the master bathroom. Later we noticed the ceiling under the bathroom seem to be sagging and stained. Funny, we hadn't noticed that before. The next day, my husband took a shower. When he came downstairs, he looked up. The ceiling seemed worse. He touched the ceiling, and water dripped from it. We were horrified. Besides that, other areas of the house had discrepancies. We turned on the fan in the second full bath - it didn't work. I checked the inspection report - the fan was noted as working. The downstairs bathroom was noted as having a fan - it doesn't. The doorbell didn't work. None of the outlets in the living room corresponded to the light switches. And so on. When we got a plumber in to take a look at the leaky ceiling, he showed us how the ceiling had been patched - badly. When he cut into it, the pipe from the shower was corroded and had been taped over with clear packing tape. The plumber and the mold mitigator we hired both said an inspector should have noticed the badly patched ceiling, if anything. Plus, the whole house was damp - so much for the infrared camera! During the plumber's numerous visits to repair the shower leak (which was leaking from 2 places), we found we had leaks elsewhere-on every floor, including the basement. We had the plumber take a look at the rest of the house. He showed us corroded pipes underneath the sinks that Joel had not noted. He did note one, and that had been repaired by the sellers. Why not any of the others? We found inconsistencies in the inspection at every turn. This all ended up costing us thousands of dollars. There are still many more repairs that need to be done. ***This is the thing: We paid Dunwell Home Inspections to do their best, and we don't believe we got it. Some of these things should have been caught. Some others were flat out wrong on the inspection report. Here's the kicker: Joel was employed by us to do a job. When we confronted him about about the issues via an informal email, he brushed us off with an 'I don't know how that could've happened!'-type response. When we sent him a formal letter of complaint, asking for our money back, he never responded. When we emailed him again calling out his unprofessionalism in not responding, he still didn't respond. That is absolutely unforgivable business practice, in my opinion. And if you read that other poor Yelp review, you'll see we're not the only ones this happened to. I hope you learn from our situation. Do your research. Ask your friends who they trust. Read reviews. Save yourself some-or a lot-of trouble. That way you won't be sitting around your house, wondering what else is wrong with it.

I wasn't sure about a contractor, so they recommended David Wita. I was a little apprehensive at first not knowing him but once I met him it was a GO! His work ethic and workmanship were beyond anything I could ask for! If you are looking to remodel, I would highly suggest you go there!

What set them apart from our GC, they took the time to make sure we were happy with the progress and listened to our needs. We were so impressed by them, we brought them back to add finishing details to the job. The Alvarez brothers want their customers to appreciate every detail of their work - they will listen to your needs, make great suggestions and execute the vision, with no stress.

We had Anne and her crew come in to clean our large picture windows, some Barovier & Toso sconces with intricate and difficult to access glass components, and a very delicate Oly Studio bowl chandelier. We would have had them do our Barovier & Toso chandelier as well but it would have required disassembly to gain access to the Murano glass arm enclosures. Given the time constraints of our move we kept it intact to ship to Arizona. We hope Anne can visit the chandelier in its new location and do a cleaning! They were obsessively detail oriented with both the cleaning and some service logistics to assist our move. We extended this recommendation to our concierge and other Draper and Kramer managed buildings as well. It's difficult to find excellent, high service cleaning services for high end chandeliers and lighting so this is an excellent referral.

Plus, you cannot talk to anybody in the office. You get directed directly to a call center that just logs that you called. This company takes no pride in their work. They show no regard for their customers. Unfortunately, Yelp doesn't allow a zero-star rating because I think one star is far too generous.
