Highline Construction

Highline recently completed a renovation of a new gallery space for the SPARK Museum in downtown Bellingham. Not only did the work turn out beautifully, but the communication and professionalism were simply unmatched. Trevor did a very thorough job quoting us on the project and helped us work through some of our financial concerns. The project manager, Brooks, was a joy to work with. He sequenced everything to work around school groups and general public visitation, and completed weekly progress reports to let us know where we were in the process. Yuseph and Evan were also fantastic to work with and did a stand out job. We have worked with many contractors over the years and have to say Highline is the best!

We love our addition! Highline does quality work by skilled professional workers. They kept us informed with an on-site superintendent and weekly project/schedule reports. If a problem arose or a decision needed to be made Highline promptly got with us. Their process starting with design to final clean up releived us of a lot of stress. We will hire them again !

I have used Highline twice, once for a large bathroom remodel and once for a main floor remodel (kitchen, living room, stairs, laundry room, bathroom, and entry way). I trust them in my home and trust them to be honest with me. While they aren’t cheap, I also feel like I absolutely got what I paid for and will use them again if I have any other needs. They have been kind, warm, and funny, which is great when you have people in your house with you for months at a time! The quality of the work and materials was fantastic.

You may have read my earlier review for Highline's whole-house renovation completed in 2022. This is an update: In spring, 2024, the new shower began to leak a little into the basement, and the shower sill tile and grout started cracking. I contacted Highline, and they assured me that they would repair the damage and remedy the leaking. And that is exactly what they did, under the oversight of Jack Buckalew. It took several months, but they carefully diagnosed where the shower pan was leaking, causing the wood in the sill to expand and crack the tile. They removed all of the affected tile and wood (this was terrifying to see them do - our beautiful shower was beng deconstructed!). Then the entire pan was rebuilt and sealed, the sill replaced with construction foam, new tile installed with epoxy grout (thanks to Jordan Snell of Opulence Tile), and the shower doors replaced. Honestly, it is impossible to tell the original tile from the new tile. It looks brand new again. And it doesn't leak anymore. Considering that this house is about 100 years old, we are realistic about its quirks and problems. But we are very confident in the upgrades that Highline did, knowing that they stand behind their work.

What started as a major renovation to transform my old, tired home into my dream home turned into a near full-rebuild due to wood rot and other issues. Despite these challenges, Highline worked with me to make it all happen with minimal friction. The process wasn't perfect or pain-free, especially during Covid, but Highline stuck through it all and worked hard to make my dream a reality. My Project Manager, Brent, and Site Supervisor, Matt, were fantastic to work with, going above and beyond to support me and ensure my needs were met. Ultimately, the project turned out amazing, and the quality is great. Highline and Trevor stand by their product, which is very important to me. Thank you, Highline, for helping make my dream home a reality!

We feel fortunate to have had Highline Construction redesign and renovate our ailing 1931 house. We chose them after consulting with architects and contractors, and canvasing friends and neighbors. Highline was often recommended. The project was long (11 months) and Covid suppy issues added to the expense, but Highline kept us fully informed and involved on issues (substandard original house construction), recommendations, and cost-reducing ideas and materials, with regular meetings and weekly and sometimes daily progress reports. The supervisors and construction crews were skilled, meticulous and reliable. The subcontractors were equally professional for the most part. Covid did put a strain on personnel and materials. Inevitable cost and timeline increases were anticipated, explained and mitigated when possible. The end result: A beautifully designed and executed renovation that added 350 square feet of space; rearrangement of rooms providing comfortable one-floor living; enlarged kitchen, bath and laundry; beautiful oak flooring, 27 high-efficiency windows; greatly improved infrastructure including wall integrity and insulation, foundation and joist reinforcement; and preservation of the vintage details and materials. Most important to our satisfaction were Highline’s dedication to accommodating our needs and preferences, and their clear, honest communication through the entire project.

Trevor and his team at Highline went above and beyond. They built us our absolute dream home at the budget we agreed on and the time frame they promised. We have been through other not so great constructions before, and I can honestly say this one was a pleasurable experience. Trevor was available when we needed him and his team was very dependable. Even months after when we realized little things here and there that needed tweaking or fixing, someone was out here quickly to get it done. Bottom line, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team!

Highline Construction was transparent, clear and concise from the beginning. Their work quality and commitment to my new home was second to none. The, full-service professional team at Highline was helpful in every detail from the construction schedule to selecting the interior and exterior finishes.

We used Highline construction for a remodel of the main floor of our home. It was a complete remodel of 1450 square feet that included a full new kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, removal of a wood burning fireplace and installation of a gas fireplace in a different location, and generally reconfiguring the whole layout of the space. Highline came recommended to us from our architect. Trevor and his team worked hard to get an accurate plan for the whole project at the start, and once the project started they were able to to stick very close to that plan. We were lucky to not encounter any major issues when they tore into the walls and we finished almost exactly on time and on budget. We found them to be easy to work with throughout the project, when we knew exactly what we wanted they found a way to make it happen and when we weren't so sure how we wanted to handle a particular detail they helped come up with a solution that worked for us. They were easy to communicate with throughout the project and very responsive to any concerns we had along the way. We lived downstairs during the renovation, and every worker was respectful of us living downstairs during the process. Our finished home is beautiful and just what we wanted. We had a great experience using Highline Construction and highly recommend them for your project.

We discovered Highline Construction through a recommendation from our architect and chose the right builder for our project. Trevor and team produced a quality product and kept our project within budget. With a small contingency fund, substantial overages were not an option for us and Highline really managed to keep the project scope within our budget without skimping on the details. For example, they included cedar siding on our project while other contractors recommended Hardie to save money. And they were able to include solid wood doors and floors to keep with our period house. The project added about 500 sq/ft to the back of a 1000 sq/ft craftsman from 1912. The design and execution make the house look like a cohesive whole, not a new addition onto an old house. Highline does outstanding work and we highly recommend them!

Highline Construction is awesome! I hired them to do a very complex exterior siding job in a combination of corrugated metal and vertical tongue and groove cedar on a 4000 sf house and separate garage. They did an outstanding, meticulous job. Everyone on the crew was very skilled, professional, and friendly. Both Highline management and their on-site crew were knowledgeable, focused, and communicated effectively throughout the project with honesty and integrity. They were a total pleasure to deal with in every regard. I couldn't be happier with their workmanship and highly recommend Highline Construction!

Trevor, Greg, Corey, and team have built a beautiful, quality home for us on budget, on schedule and with minimal supervision from us. We could not be more satisfied. Once we agreed on specifications and budget, our work was largely over and they delivered as promised with outstanding communications, clarity and transparency. These are good people, people you want to work with, and people who take pride in their work. You will not find a better contractor group.
