How did you get started in remodeling?
We got our start in the industry at a large commercial contractor in the Twin Cities. That experience helped shape Highmark’s principles and built a desire for a more personal, creative connection with clients. Our success as a custom remodeler and home builder is directly tied to the collaborative relationship with our homeowners.
What sets your company apart?
We create unique, one-of-a-kind homes that reflect the individual tastes and lifestyles of our clients. Our team works closely with each client to understand their vision and translate it into a practical and functional custom home. With our defined process, we guide our clients through the entire journey, from initial design concepts to final construction and finishing touches.
What inspires and influences your work?
Inspiration is everywhere — from the places we visit, photos online, fashion trends, and just the everyday world around us. But neither inspiration nor current trends matter if they don’t resonate with our clients. At Highmark, we want to know what inspires our clients.
How would you describe your team’s approach to a new project?
Our years of experience and artisan craftsmanship will bring all the pieces of your project together into a breathtaking whole. From the first meeting, we commit to a transparent process, taking the mystery out of remodeling. Our whole team is engaged early on in the process to ensure clear communication is established and a beautiful result is produced.
How do you bring a client’s vision to life?
Whether you’re looking to build a modern masterpiece or a classic family home, we have the expertise, experience, and passion to bring your dream to life. We use only the highest-quality materials and construction techniques to ensure that every aspect of the home meets our client’s exacting standards.
What are the most important elements of a successful remodeling team?
We believe the keys to our successes are exceptional front-end planning, comprehensive follow-through, and being open and honest with the clients’ expectations.
What are some of your favorite trends and styles in remodeling?
We are more attached to our homes than ever before. So, we want the greatest experiences from them, whether that’s connecting outdoor spaces for more entertaining, adding wood-burning fireplaces for better ambiance, or building a home office to make working from home even more rewarding.
