Be a Successful Homeowner

The first step to becoming a homeowner is owning a home. The next steps are a little less obvious. Here are three ways to make the most out of your new home.


MAINTAIN

If you haven’t already, familiarize yourself with your home. How is it constructed? How does the plumbing work? Where’s the fuse box? Start exploring your home until you know it like the back of your hand.
 
If you come across something you just don’t understand and can’t google, reach out for help. Ignoring problems, however minor, will cost money down the road.
 
Once you’re comfortable with your home start focusing on the smaller, everyday maintenance. Learn your garbage pick-up schedule. Make sure you have a lawnmower. Buy a snow shovel (even in August).
 
Your home is an investment, and proper maintenance will not only protect your investment, but increase your home’s value.


IMPROVE

When moving into a new home it can be tempting to spend a hefty chunk of your budget on things that will have a visible impact on the place. New floors. New paint. Landscaping.
 
It feels good to make a place your own. But, before you drown in carpet samples, think about prioritizing expenses that might not make the house look better, but will surely increase your home’s value.
 
Energy-efficiency is an area that won’t make an aesthetic impact, but will drive your bills down every single month. Make sure your appliances, furnace, and windows are up-to-date, and use the savings for future projects.
 

DIY

A great way to improve your home is by doing it yourself. Also, a great way to destroy your home is by doing it yourself.
 
We recommend learning basic repairs and maintenance specific to your home to cover the smaller issues, and call in the specialists when something a little more special comes about.
 
Attempting repairs you’re unfamiliar with is not only risky for your home, but dangerous, ESPECIALLY if you’re dealing with electricity. Leave that to the pros.

  • When we rightsized from our home of 43 years to a Bielinski Condo in Bay Pointe, our New Home Consultant answered all of our questions and communicated with us the entire way. We’re fully enjoying our beautiful new home and the condo community.
    John and Jean Jones
  • I’ve been so impressed and completely satisfied with the entire Bielinski building experience. From the initial sale and throughout the construction process I have appreciated Bielinski’s professionalism, craftsmanship, and follow-through.
    Heidi Hamilton
  • We are extremely happy with our new Bielinski Condo. It’s well-built and full of all the features we wanted in our home.
    Deborah and Brian Blackney
  • We chose Bielinski because they are a family-owned business and have been building in the Pewaukee area for a long time. The Clemont floor plan is just perfect for all of our family events and Packer parties.
    Bob and Darla Landgren
  • We couldn’t be happier with our new home! The entire process was fantastic. Everyone was so responsive and quick to help. Bielinski’s knowledge of the industry was invaluable. We recommend Bielinski to anyone looking for their next home.
    Mike and Kristin Smith
  • We had a really good experience with Bielinski from start to finish. Everyone was responsive and reliable. Now we are enjoying life in our new home.
    Peter Holzwart and Therese Gaynor-Holzwart
  • Once I got settled in, I knew I was exactly where I belong. Without Bielinski’s knowledge and communication, I would still be questioning whether I should build at all. Thanks to the entire team that made this all possible.
