What People Are Saying About Us
 

"With the Highest Regards"

Ben Dillard and Highland Homes constructed my new custom home in a timely manner as promised with quality products and quality workmanship while allowing me the flexibility to choose the style and features that fit me and my family’s life style. My whole family is completely satisfied with Ben and his workers. We recommend Ben and his Associates to anyone with the highest honor and have only good things to say about Highland Homes. We appreciate Ben emphasizing and standing by his motto of only supplying quality products and the highest workmanship in order to assure our ultimate goal of peace and tranquility when my home was complete. He would not allow me to cut any corners which would have ultimately created problems and made my life unhappy.

"Happy with Ben"


We started out looking at those pre-manufactured houses and after investigation and some simple addition we quickly found out that we were not going to save any money and moreover we were not satisfied with not being able to get our dream house. After listening to Ben at Highland Homes we understood that you get what you pay for and actually with Ben a lot more. Ben was a complete gentleman and worked with us in every phase of planning and construction. He was always there to assure his workers were doing the job properly and his recommendation on specific quality material will last for ever problem free and add value to the new home we love and admire. We recommend Ben and Highland Home without any reservations at all.

"Highest respect for Ben"


Initially considering selecting cheaper windows doors and flooring Ben sat down with us and explained the potential problems we might have with that type of construction. And Ben said he would rather us choose another builder than sacrifice his name and reputation to build a lower quality home than one that would make us happy. We are certainly glad we understood his respect for his job and are happy we selected Ben and Highland Homes to build are perfect dream home.

"Thanks Ben"


Our experience was grand. After looking at and considering several tract builders we got the feeling that our proposed house would look nothing like the model and have lesser quality cabinets and bath fixtures. They really pretty up those models to lure you in and promise you the world. Once we talked to Bens previous new home customers we felt comfortable that he was going to do what he said with no hidden stuff or hanky panky. We are completely happy with Ben and Highland Homes with his quality of materials and workmanship we built another home for our son with him. He was there every step of the way and we are happy and content and can enjoy our new home worry free.

"Feel confident with Ben"


I have been a building inspector in Washington County for many years and have seen just plain poor shabby construction at all phases of home construction. While working with Ben at Highland Homes it was surely a joy to have my joy made easier, with out any problems or call backs. His personality timeliness and quality of workmanship is the best I have seen. I would recommend Ben and his staff to anyone with out hesitation.

"Thanks Ben"


Ben saved us thousands of dollars and we got two hundred and fifty more square feet with Ben’s special designed home just for us. We wanted a special bath shower combo we saw in a picture and Ben redesigned the plan to make it work. As far as cutting corners on materials and labor he just would not let us do it and we are so glad he did not. You know the banker said if we had gone with the mass produced home builder he might not have been able to finance the whole thing because of the short appraisal value. We are truly happy with Ben and Highland Homes and will recommend that all people get a new home from him. I am proud to be home every evening.

My relationship with Ben at Highland Homes started when he instructed me that our regular concrete foundation mix was not satisfactory for him and his customers. He said he wanted a special mix with more cement and less sand. He explained that it would be stronger, prevent any foundation cracking and water leaks and then he would have no problems and the home owner would be completely satisfied. So no we have a special mix and an agreement of quality. Glad to know and do business with such a forthright honest builder.

Over ten years Ben came to me to do the plumbing work on a new home he was building and said we will not use cheap fixtures for anything. He instructed me that all of my plumbing had to be the best to prevent any problems and if it cost a little more.
