Our home was built in Patricia Lake Estates. From the very beginning, Mark kept us up-to-date with Emails and many pictures. This was greatly appreciated since we lived 5 hours south of Minocqua, in Rockford, IL.

We were delighted Mark and Dennis were able to make changes to our house plans to accommodate our needs. [My husband] Bert is on a walker and the 3-foot doorways, raised garage floor (so Bert could walk into our laundry room without a step), and a handicap Master Bath was some of the changes we appreciated.

Tim’s landscaping skills were spectacular. Sidewalks, the retaining walls, flower beds, to mention a few.

We highly recommend Rynders and Patricia Lake Estates for your dream retirement home. We built this home for our “final retreat” and for our five married children and “10-1/2” grandchildren to enjoy for years to come.

We are happy to show the home anytime. Thanks again to everyone at Rynders Development, Inc.

The design and workmanship of our new home exceeded our expectations. The process of selecting the building site, drawing up the plans and building the home was rewarding experience. The entire Rynders staff was a pleasure to work with.

Both Bob Rynders and Dennis Herman listened to our thoughts & ideas and brought our vision to life. Our entire family is now enjoying our home here in the Northwoods and we thank the Rynders Company for making our dream come true.

Our project included a home addition, remodeling inside and out, and a new driveway cut out of a hill requiring rock sidewalls.

We were very happy with the quality of the work and would be more than happy to allow anyone interested to inspect the work at our home.

I believe the quality of the workmanship is reflective of the fact that Rynders employs the appropriate skills for each phase of work—the right people for the task at hand.

Again, we are completely satisfied with the work undertaken at our home by Rynders and would recommend them to others.

Thank you again for a job well done! Our crazy yard with all its angled pathways has been transformed into a lovely, tranquil park-like atmosphere because of you! Thank you for your patience as we changed our minds several times on certain things!

From the beginning design process…to the laying of the last flagstone…to the planting of the grass…to the installation of the sprinkler system—your professionalism was always there. The excellent quality of workmanship is evidenced in all the positive comments we receive from friends, neighbors and visitors.

Rynders has been well represented in our project, and we will continue to recommend your services to everyone.

We were finally able to get to the cabin this last week for a couple of days and we just wanted to write a little note to thank you for the work you did on our landscaping as we are so pleased with the finished product. You all did a GREAT job. It is just perfect!!! It was so nice to feel confident that we need not be there to trust what needed to be done. Just wish we could have been there to fix a few more lunches for the two young men that were working so hard in that heat. They did such a great job and are certainly a tribute to young people today!!! Thank you for everything, we just love it!!!

Greg and I would like to take a few minutes to let you know how much we appreciate the fine work you did on our home. As we hear of the trials and tribulations of friends in their building and remodeling experiences we become increasing grateful to you and your staff for the quality work and on time performance that we experienced.

As you may recall, our job was both an addition and new construction. Your staff showed patience and expertise as we struggled with the problems and unexpected expenses involved in the connection of the “old and new”. In spite of the necessity to completely rebuild the roof in the old structure and the several additions we made to the original plan we moved into our new home on the date promised.

Your staff and subcontractors worked with us in a courteous and friendly manner, always being attentive to our wishes and offering very relevant advice on construction details. Of particular note is the quality of workmanship in the finish carpentry. The blending of the ceilings and the obvious care taken to make them fit exactly and seamlessly demonstrate the skill and training of your staff. Many of our visitors are in the trades and their appreciation of the workmanship throughout the house is high praise indeed.

Please feel free to use our comments as a reference or in any of your marketing material. We are very proud of our home and would be delighted to have you show it to potential customers.

Thanks for making our first experience with building a new home such a pleasant one. From starting out with a vague idea of what we wanted we ended up with the perfect house for us.

You and your staff were so very patient and extremely helpful with suggestions and recommendations and always responded to our many calls. Somehow, we always felt that ours was the only house you were building.

In spite of multiple attempts by outsiders to delay the project you brought the project in on time. We left in November before you began and returned in May to a completed project, ready to move in.

Thanks again. We love our retirement home.

P.S. We didn’t even go over budget.


Thank you so much for all you did for me at the lake. It is beautiful and I am so pleased. The young fellows were great—so polite and pleasant to have around. I’m sure we will enjoy the landscaping for many years. Thanks again.

Our first impression of the business was well-organized and eager to help in making our decision. The company was never pushy or controlling when we were deciding on our new home.

The house was built in a very timely manner, always were there helping to answer any questions that we had. The home we feel is very quality-built. We have had issues with some of the flooring and they were prompt in getting the problems fixed.

We are very happy and would recommend anyone wanting to build a new home to at least give Rynders a chance to show you what they have to offer.

(We selected a modular home rather than a stick-built custom home.)

I think the quality of the modular home is unbelievable. After 25 years of working in real estate I would never believe it is a modular home. It was easy to make changes in the plans before construction.

All of the deadlines with Rynders were met. The call back service is excellent. The employees were very friendly and easy to work with.

Rynders Custom Builders built a lake home for us in Hayward, Wisconsin. The home was built on time and within budget.

We are pleased with the quality of construction and have not had any problems with response from Rynders regarding any questions or corrections.

I wanted to thank you for making the construction of our home a pleasant experience. I know at times it wasn’t easy, but it never showed. You were always there with phone calls or in person if we had questions. You had a great staff of men working on our house that were always helpful and polite.

I recommend Rynders to everyone. Hopefully I wasn’t too difficult to deal with. We love our new home. Take care and thanks again.

We were very impressed with the timeliness of all aspects of the building process. Whenever we had a question there was always someone giving us a prompt reply.

The quality of the finished home was excellent. Rynders made the whole process run smooth with very few “surprises.”

We are so pleased with our new home. It was move-in ready and everything we expected it to be.

Thank you to Mark and the entire Rynders staff for all your help and support during the building of our home. Everyone helped to make our dream a reality.

This was my first experience building a home and I was nervous and excited. The Rynders building team made the entire experience a wonderful one. I was living in a different city while the home was being built and was not able to physically be on site as often as I would have liked, but I was in constant communication with Bob & Dennis (and others) and knew exactly what was happening every step of the way. I am thrilled with my home and love spending time in the Northwoods!

Our experience building our retirement home with Rynders was just great. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We used a blueprint that we had ordered from a magazine. Dennis helped us customize it to take advantage of our lake views and add a screened porch.

The landscaping crew was terrific. They rolled in early in the morning with all the supplies and equipment they needed. They worked till dark and finished the job in one day. Best of all—the grass came up beautifully!

Our home was completed on time and on budget. Our building experience couldn’t have been better!

When Rynders says “turnkey” they really mean it. Our house was spotlessly clean when we moved in—even the windows were clean and the cabinets were ready for our dishes.

We just wanted to thank you for a terrific landscaping job. It looks better than I could have imagined. Your crew did a super job! Thanks again.

Rynders has built us a first class lake home on Whitefish Lake. Our contact person, Dennis Herman, was very helpful, polite and courteous during the entire construction process. His insight about some of the finishing details were extremely helpful in making decisions. Construction progressed in a timely manner and it was completed as expected. We would highly recommend Rynders as a builder for anyone.

If we were asked to describe our impression of Rynders Development Company regarding our recent home purchase, it would be simply this:

From the top on down, we came to know all of the staff on a first name basis. Naturally one feels more comfortable dealing with a Bob, Mark, Jan, Dennis, Tim and the rest, when making an investment of this nature. Yet, the atmosphere of friendliness did not alter the professional manner that each in turn applied to their section of involvement.

Not to say everything went perfectly smooth all the way (it never does). However, knowing we could speak our minds directly to the person whose shoulder this area of concern rested, as one friend to another, means a lot.

Sure, sometimes the action taken moved along slower than we would have liked, but all of our concerns were addressed, and to our satisfaction.

So, would we recommend Rynders to others, including close friends? Of course, we already have, and have no qualms about our endorsements. Just keep doing what you are doing, it works for us.
