Professional Home Inspections in Winnetka, Illinois

We examine accessible roofing, exterior materials, structure and major systems, including later additions and updates. Original details and modern improvements can have very different maintenance histories.

No. Ask for permits and the scope of the renovation. New fixtures and finishes do not establish how much concealed piping or wiring was renewed.

Intersections between different roof areas can introduce flashing and drainage details that deserve review. We report accessible defects and limitations.

Yes, especially before planning exterior changes. The Village can confirm designation and applicable review requirements for the specific property.

Invoices, permits and service histories can explain previous defects and the extent of corrective work. They complement our observations but do not replace evaluation of current accessible conditions.

A sewer camera can add information about the accessible interior of the private sewer lateral. Radon requires a test at the individual property; ZIP-code results describe tested samples rather than every home. Confirm the additional services and inspection scope when scheduling.

Time depends on the home’s size, age, condition, additions and selected services. Dunsing uses team inspections when appropriate to help save time onsite while providing a thorough review.
