We had a house built by Bielinski in 2010, from their then premiere line of homes. The house is…read morebeautiful and there is a lot of quality craftsmanship visible, but my main gripe is that they used crap windows. Shortly after moving in, window springs started breaking. I would call the window manufacturer, and they would send replacements. This got so frequent that the window company eventually sent a box of springs. There was also a noticeable draft in the window tracks, that was so strong that it could blow out a match. The windows let plenty of cold air in each winter. About five years in, window glass seals in the double-pane windows started to fail, and there would be a hazy gray film between the panes of glass. The manufacturer was willing to send me new window panes, but if I wanted them to fix it, there was a wait of many months. I fixed a few myself, but as I noticed more and more failed seals, I gave up. Now, fifteen years in, more than half of the windows have failed. Since I didn't want to keep putting the same company's junk in my house, I decided to replace most of the windows (23 of 27) with high quality replacements. Even with two of the windows being free, this is costing me $28K. Neighbors who have seen the windows going in have all expressed their disbelief that I should have to be replacing windows this soon. Their houses are all about the same age and nobody has had to replace theirs. My other gripe is that the paint on our fireplace mantel bubbled immediately after we started using the fireplace. Bielinski contacted the fireplace manufacturer and the paint company, and reps from both blamed each other, and Bielinski did nothing. To this day we have blistered paint across our mantel. It looks like crap, and we will probably end up replacing the mantel. If we would build another house, I probably wouldn't use Bielinski.

I just moved into our my new home in the Overstone Luxury Condo Development and I am over the moon…read moredelighted! Working with Marv Berg and his truly talented team has sincerely been a welcome pleasure. The quality of construction and attention to every detail is really second to none. After touring so many Lake Country properties, researching other developments and doing all our homework, we just kept coming back to the Overstone project. Items usually considered an upgrade or additional expense by other builders are standard at Overstone. Some of the standard inclusions are fully tiled master shower, tiled backsplashes, custom painting throughout, ceiling high kitchen cabinetry, transom windows (tons of them!), really generous allowances for flooring, lighting and even appliances! The garage is fully drywalled and painted, and you have access to the services of a professional decorator to help in making your interior finish and fixture choices - all included! The Clubhouse is over 6,000 square feet of top-of-the line amenities including a huge fitness center, full meeting and kitchen facilities, multiple big screen TV's, indoor shuffleboard, video games and an amazing outdoor entertainment facility. The outdoors involves a beautiful swimming pool and relaxation area, fully covered heated patio seating with multiple gas fireplaces, full complement kitchen area with elite cooking and grilling equipment, all under the view of a huge TV for catching an afternoon or evening game. It really is hard to compare Berg Development to any other condo developers out there. You just have to come out and see for yourself because the community is unbelievable! I am so very happy and proud to call Overstone my forever home. Thanks to Marv, Chad, Erin and the entire team! You've made me a very happy camper!
