About Highland Builders

At Highland Builders, our goal is to make the building process rewarding and enjoyable. We strive to exceed your expectations.

I serve as the contractor and primary carpenter, which gives us the flexibility to take a customized approach to each project. Relationships based on trust and mutual respect are important to us. Whether you have a smaller job that demands creative carpentry, a renovation or restoration, or a new construction project, we will take the time to understand what you want and need, to provide creative ideas and design, and to see your project through within budget.

We have extensive experience with in-house design, creating beautiful and functional spaces—including custom built-ins, cabinetry, and full kitchen remodels done in collaboration with Reuben Sotak of Honey Brook Fine Furniture. We also have relationships with highly-qualified architects and are happy to provide recommendations.

Building with an eye towards sustainability involves using locally sourced wood and building products whenever possible, always looking towards high energy efficiency, and minimizing the use of toxic building materials. All of our work reflects an environmental consciousness, utilizing the latest innovative building methods and technologies, maintaining respect for tradition and historic integrity.

I look forward to discussing your project. Please contact me to get started.
