Berlin.[5] On June 19, 1965, Alois and his family arrived at Chicago where he started a small painting company.[4][5] After a time, Alois decided to form the American branch of Steinhauer Berlinger.[5] He named his new company the Berlinger Decorating Company.[4] At the age of eight, Alois eldest son Michael became involved with the business, serving as both a translator and workman.[2][5] The inclusion of Michael brought the fifth generation of Berlingers into the company.[4] In the decade that followed, the Berlinger Decorating Company shifted its focus onto restoration work combined with woodworking, painting, and stonework expertise.[1][2][5] During the 1970’s the company decided to move to Peoria, Illinois to set up a permanent base of operations.[2] As the business became more settled in its new location, Michael Berlinger succeeded his father as head of the company.[5] He shifted its focus further into historical restoration and preservation.[2][5] In the early 2000's Berlinger Decorating Company rebranded as Heritage Restoration and Design Studios Inc.[5][6] In the years that followed, Michael’s four sons Stephen, Christopher, Joseph and Anthony joined the company, forming the sixth generation of Berlingers to inherit the business.[5] Notable projects
