The Krugs are really talented. If you are looking for a home built by someone with a great eye, I…read morehighly suggest looking at their homes. The extra attention to detail is what impresses me the most. The ceiling and lighting detail (that many home builders overlook) specifically make the homes they work on look fantastic. This builder pays attention to space, and layout, and the homes are reasonably priced. They also do remodels too. I first was introduced to their work by walking into a friend's house and being blown away at the major facelift their kitchen went through. A fairly basic kitchen was transformed into a dream kitchen. It was really impressive, and the results were stunning.

The one downfall is that the apartment building does not have many amenities. Other than that, I am very happy with my experience at Liberty Pointe over the past 4 years!

I could not agree more with Nick's review. Even 3 years later, not one thing has changed and I was…read morein complete denial until I experienced everything he described. I went through it during the construction process first hand and I'm still dealing with them almost a year after signing my contract. I wish I had never done this. I was constantly stressed out and this was and is still a completely awful experience. Whoever gave this company 5 stars was clearly paid to, probably so they wouldn't have a 1 star rating. I honestly don't know how Frank can legitimately run a business like this. Not one person working for him will care about you, your family, or your situation. All they want is your money and they will say anything to get it. A perfect description, as Nick said, is over promised expectations and undelivered results. That should be their slogan. If you do choose to go with them, be prepared to: 1. Overpay for your house by thousands of dollars for pretty shitty work and low quality materials. It's what Frank calls "affordable". Do your research and the math on the outrageous upgrade costs. You will realize you're getting screwed. 2. Have zero communication between the site coordinator, operations manager, construction manager, and the construction team... you might as well kiss your blueprints goodbye because what you sign won't be followed and the things listed as standard features in your contract won't be included. I know this sounds crazy and you're saying to yourself, "how can that be?", but it really is true. 3. Have plenty of incompetent subcontractors working on your house. 75% of the guys are still learning how to do their jobs or are in training and the construction manager is never there to supervise anyone. This is because Frank is so cheap he's not willing to pay for people who actually know what they are doing. I am afraid for what is behind the walls, seriously. The day we closed on our house, we had no hot water and our dishwasher wouldn't turn on. How bad could it be, right? After being present for the necessary repairs, we found out that our hot and cold water lines were connected together and the water line to our refrigerator had never been done at all. The main electrical wiring to our dishwasher had been nearly cut in half and could have started a fire if the dishwasher was able to turn on. I thought you're supposed to have peace of mind building a new house... not so much. One more example, our neighbor's house was built 6 months before ours. Their sump pump failed a weekend when they were out of town. They came home to 2 feet of water in their basement, everything was ruined, including the furnace, and they did not have flood insurance. They had quite a battle getting that taken care of with BH. 4. Deal with their greedy real estate agent/site coordinator, Maryellen Blair. She is a complete bitch and has a serious conflict of interest with this type of home purchase. Unfortunately, she is the only tether you have to your house after you've signed the contract so get ready to deal with her for 4+ months. Be sure to have your own real estate agent with you for every single meeting. I would highly suggest one with new construction experience who will abdicate for you because Maryellen is a snake in this industry. I could not stand this woman, by the last walk through I wouldn't even speak to her, let alone shake her hand. 5. Be lied to...constantly. We were rushed into making decisions and signing off on things that were not correct. If we didn't, then we were told that we are holding up the building process. This is a complete lie because they already have their own agenda (and blueprints apparently) and the time frame in which you make your decisions has little effect on that when they are just starting to build the house. What they don't want you to know is they are rushing you so you don't look at the details. They are vague for a reason, which allows them to get away with shit behind your back and still make you pay for it at the end of the day. Clearly, I am very unhappy and I do not recommend BH to anyone. Everything I've had to go through has been a fight because nothing is ever done right the first time and no one cares about my house. I paid more than market value for it, so I've literally thrown my money out the window and I won't be going get it back anytime soon. No amount of remedies has made up for what this builder has and continues to put me through. I don't care about his reputation in the Capital Region because it is a bunch of bullshit. It is unfortunate that more people don't voice their experiences to warn others from going through this fate. He should not be allowed to lie to people and use and abuse them like they are garbage, it is absolutely disgraceful. Save yourself the aggravation and build with or buy from someone else...

I couldn't have done it without Greta's help. Even though she wasn't our primary Realtor she made sure to check in and make sure we were happy with how things were going AND she answered a million questions. It was as if she was there helping us! Not only that but she sent us a little note congratulating us when we finally closed. Our local Realtor didn't even do that! Greta was thoughtful, patient, and attentive throughout the whole process even though she was on the other side of the country. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home anywhere in the US.

I really owe Greta a lot of thanks for listening to me and finding me the perfect realtor. Recently, I've referred another friend of mine to Greta for a referral for a realtor and I know that based on my experience with Greta, the realtor she will be referred to will be a perfect fit for her.

Therefore I deal with the good, the bad and the "ugly" when it comes to contractors, subcontractors, painters, plumbers, decorators, etc. I am also a real estate attorney so when I purchased a model home in Saratoga, I reached out to Bonacio construction to transform a master shower bathroom into a master bathroom with a large tub. The space was not an easy space to work with but Bonacio got it done! I also hired Bonacio Construction to create a large closet as well as the installation of new lighting fixtures. From the moment we met it was professional, friendly and fun. The work is exemplary. The main points of contact, James Ackerman and Amanda Santy were always in touch and easy to deal with. In fact, James was super picky regarding the tile selection and I appreciated his opinions and perfection. One of the employees, Jim, was punctual and also very efficient. Believe me, I see scams and immoral hikes in pricing for the consumers especially the consumers coming into Saratoga for the track season. Not here. This is a family run business with folks who work hard and do a beautiful job. On a side note, James was nice enough to do a formal walk thru on my home when the builder (not Bonacio) did not show up when I flew to New York for my pre- settlement walk thru. He felt bad for me that I spent monies on a flight, a hotel and a rental car to do the walk thru inspection. Again, I appreciated that effort and concern. Work with the Bonacio crew. You will be happy with the outcome and have a pleasant experience along the way.
