Eastbrook built our stand-alone condo in 2016. We moved in Sept 1, 2016.

We have found the condo to be well-built and are confident it will stand the test of time. Kurt Sudinski was our salesperson and we found him to be professional, knowledgeable, and he paid attention to detail.

The supervisor is the key to the building process. He is your contact and keeps all the coordination going between subcontractors. Ours was Bill Maksam, who did a good job. He took personal responsibility for each home. You could tell his biggest issue was timing and budget. He was expected to meet those parameters, while maintaining the quality. Sometimes there were conflicts between the goals.

Anne Wierengo was our designer. Eastbrook basically builds spec homes that you can customize from a specified list of options developed by Eastbrook. This helps keep costs down and quality up (volume and repetitive work). For the most part, the options are good, but any real customization is frowned upon. Ann helped us individualize our condo (on the inside) while properly guiding us. The landscaping is much better than average.

Eastbrook always seems to be in a hurry whenever you are talking with them. They have many homes under construction and many developments. It seems like 95% of the work goes really well but that last 5% becomes difficult. They have a process to work on warranty items, but you really have to stay on top of them. We are still waiting on our street to receive final paving and for streetlights to be put up.

A big complaint among most people in the development is the sub-contractors and ongoing construction. There are usually several houses being built at a time and the neighborhood is usually a mess. The trucks drag mud or dirt all over the streets, which ultimately ends up on one s car, garage, and inside the home. Dumpsters and porta-toilets are located throughout upscale neighborhoods until the development is complete. Probably the price to be paid for being in a new development, but things could be better.

All in all, a good experience that we would do again. Eastbrook does not hold itself out to be a custom builder, so don t expect that, but overall, they do deliver very good value.
