We have been working with Jon for about 4+ years. Highgate Builders have been wonderful to work with! The staff are extremely attentive. The weekly site meetings with clientele are always productive. Their attention to detail and competitive costs make them a premier builder. I would highly recommend them and look forward to continuing this collaborative relationship for many years to come!

It was an absolute pleasure building our new construction home with Highgate Builders! We had an amazing team of people throughout our building process who addressed every detail with us along the way in a friendly and professional manner. At the beginning of the process, we were very impressed with their openness in aligning our budget to our project. As the project moved forward, each and every step was extremely organized and coordinated. They followed a precise timeline and made sure that we were already planning for the next steps throughout the project to ensure we never felt overwhelmed or stressed. Following the completion of our project, Highgate remained by our side to ensure that everything was done to our complete satisfaction. Highgate Builders provides an extremely high quality service and leaves you with a pristine home!

Highgate has been working with us for two years planning our new house in New Buffalo, MI. Kevin has helped us plan, with our architect, structural and cost-saving details saving us money without sacrificing quality. They have gone far beyond what we expected in a company. We highly recommend this builder.

I am an attorney and have represented Highgate Builders for many years. In that context, I have the utmost respect and admiration for Jon Kogan and his entire team. Over the years there have been very few disputes between Highgate and clients and, on the rare occasions that disputes arose, Jon and his team resolved those issues fully and promptly, always exceeding the expectations of the client. From the vantage point of an outsider, I was always amazed at Jon's client-focused attention to detail, always going the extra mile. I had the great pleasure of hiring Highgate to remodel my own 1905 Frank Lloyd Wright home in 2011 and he and his team did an AMAZING job. They were great collaborators with us, the architect and with Village officials, had terrific attention to detail. The identified and hired subcontractors who were well suited to our project and brought the project to a wonderful conclusion. I highly recommend Jon and his team for any home building project.

To whom it may concern. In my profession I develop hotels , and am involved a great deal with Construction companies , architects , designers etc . As we all know , building a home from ground up has many perils , but my wife and I embarked on this adventure , nevertheless . Having found Highgate builders was clearly one of the most fortuitous happenings to us. Jon Kogan , Darin Starkey and their team ( and their selected subs) were unbelievable . First class , high quaLITY OF WORK , ALWAYS dealt with us with the highest degree of integrity . Always delivered what they said they would time wise . The budget process was transparent. We cannot recommend This group high enough . you will be very fortunate to engaged them for a project such as ours. A class organization from top to bottom.

Highgate Builders built our new home in Wilmette and we could not be more pleased with the quality and professionalism. I very highly recommend Highgate as a trusted builder. There were many times during construction that Highgate gave me options that allowed me to save money or apply money from one area to another. I appreciated their honesty and we were able to keep the entire project on budget and on time. Great builder, you cannot go wrong with Highgate.

We bought a house from Jon seven years that was already framed and had the roof on. He made the process easy for us to customize to our liking by guiding and educating us on our options. Working with Tom, Lucas and Nancy was also a pleasure. They were always available and accomodating. The contractors that Jon employs are also top notch. We have continued to use his hvac guy for maintenance over the years along with a few of the others. His carpenters are very skilled. After seven years I still do not notice any cracks or separation in the molding. They did a perfect job. If we ever buy another house, we would only buy from Jon. He's the nicest, hardest working guy in this profession that pays attention to every detail.

Highgate is among the most elite and respectable builders in the Midwest, building the highest quality homes and providing incredible personal service. Highgate completed our house within 11 months of breaking ground. The building process could not have been any smoother. There were no "surprises" during the process that delayed the project or increased its cost. Highgate has such deep relationships with its subs/trades that it is able to make sure that they were available for the work at the appropriate time and completed their work on schedule. We received a schedule every week or so that showed the house's progress against the original timeline, so we were able to monitor the timing. There is no doubt in our mind that Highgate delivered a better home than any other builder would have. Moreover, we could trust Highgate and we knew that it would stand behind its house in every detail, no matter how small.

Highgate Builders built our home in Munster, Indiana. They were professional, clean (!!), had great subs, and were even pickier on details than we were. We have been in the home for almost a year - nothing to complain about and if we did, I am sure Highgate would be on the job immediately. We had weekly meetings with them and the architects which helped so much with communication. And we were sent an updated schedule every two weeks - they finished the house early!!!! We would highly recommend Highgate Builders!

Highgate was great to work with and, seven years later, i still have a great relationship with Jon, Alix, Tom, Lukas and the whole crew. What makes Highgate unique is not only that they do quality work on budget and on time, but that they really stick by their product. No nickle and diming ever and sense of urgency is fantastic. The biggest differentiator that i've experienced is that they are actually a client-driven builder (many say they are, very few practice it). Throughout my community, HIghgate is the only builder i know who has relationships with all past clients - continuing to do the right thing as opposed to just doing things right.

We hired Highgate to be our contractor for the construction of our new home. Jon and his team are incredible to work with. From site selection, budgeting, planning, construction, and post move-in, everything could not have run smoother. On time, on budget. What more can you ask for? We maintain a wonderful relationship with Highgate and could not offer a stronger endorsement of their work.
