Excellent Workmanship and Quality
"I am extremely pleased that I chose Highland Homes to build my custom home. Zeno Hawkins, and his staff were a pleasure to deal with. Excellent workmanship and quality is very evident throughout the house. I highly recommend Highland Homes to build your next home."
Ron and Pat Tamaccio
Our Home-Buying Experience Was Remarkable
"Zeno Hawkins, and his entire team of professionals, were friendly and helpful throughout the process. This aspect of their business relationship with their customers was especially important to us because we moved to Greenville from Atlanta, and had to rely on Highland’s reputation for quality, honesty, and dependability. We were completely satisfied. They exceeded our expectations at every step along the way from initial offer to closing. They delivered on every promise, on-time, with exceptional customer service."

Superb Custom Renovation, Builder You Can Trust
“We recently worked with Highland Homes on a custom renovation. We purchased a home that was built in the 1940's and spoke with more than a half dozen local builders about our extensive renovation plans. Having built a home in the past, we were well aware of the importance of working with a builder you can truly trust. We found Zeno and his team best suited for our project and could not be happier with our decision. Throughout the project, and even well after its' completion, we found the Highlands' staff to be extremely helpful and customer oriented. Zeno and Ryan are always accessible and willing to go the extra mile to satisfy their clients. If we ever decide to build or remodel again, we will certainly use Highland Homes.!”
Amanda and Andrew Long
Extensive Research, Highland Homes' Integrity & Quality
“We did extensive research on different builders and communities in Greenville before selecting Highland Homes. Their integrity as business professionals and the quality of their craftsmanship are the reasons Highland Homes rose above the rest. We chose to build in Carilion because Highland had built other homes in the neighborhood that we were impressed with. Moving here was the best decision for our family. We love the sense of community and the friends we have made. It really is a place where you can depend on your neighbors. We love living in our home. It is exactly what we wanted.!”
Steve Carter Jr.
Thoroughly Enjoyed Building Experience, Strongly Recommend Highland Homes
“I thoroughly enjoyed my building experience with Highland Homes and would strongly recommend anyone to give these guys an opportunity to build your home. Zeno provides an excellent team to complete the building process. By letting Highland Homes build my house, I eliminated a lot of the pressure that comes with building a new home. I would once again strongly recommend Highland Homes and look forward to working with them on my next project.”

Took Our Ideas, Created Plan - Exactly What We Were Looking For!
“We worked with Highland Homes on our home renovation last year. Zeno and his team took our ideas and created a plan that was exactly what we were looking for. The personal attention that they gave us was so appreciated and made the renovation a very smooth and comfortable process. We would work with them again in a heart beat and refer them to friends and family.”

We Couldn't Be Happier with Highland Homes
“Highland Homes completely renovated our home in 2009 and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the very beginning of the project until the day the house was completed, Highland Homes was absolutely fantastic to work with. They were professional, courteous and always right on schedule. We have and will continue to refer our friends and family to either renovate or build a new home with Highland Homes - it was such a pleasant experience.”

We Chose Highland for Many Reasons - Special Touches, Carilion Not Cookie Cutter Neighborhood
“We choose to live in Carilion for many reasons…The beautiful green space where our children can play, the great sidewalks for walking our dog, great pool for tons of summertime fun, the variations of architectural styles of the homes…not a cookie cutter neighborhood…and the wonderful neighbors we met when first visiting the neighborhood!!
We chose to buy a Highland home for many reasons also…The bungalow look and feel, but with all the modern amenities and room our family needs, the fact that special touches like granite counter tops, bead board and unique ceilings were not extras…they were part of what Highland does and does well… the fantastic staff at Highland made the buying process so easy and the peace of mind knowing our home was built with care and quality!
We believe we made the right choice with Carilion and Highland!!!”

They Listened, Continually Surprised Us with Small Improvements
“We can’t imagine a better partner for a home remodel than Highland Homes! They really listened to what we were looking for in terms of a renovation and made sure that it fit within our budget. Rather than “nickel and dime” us for every expense, they continually surprised us with small improvements that we needed, but never discussed! Our expected level of service when working with a contractor is now vastly higher after having worked with Highland Homes & we happily recommend them to others.”
Christopher Ross
We Could Not Ask For a Better Transition to Our New Home
“Patrick was a tremendous help with our family settling in to our Highland home and the neighborhood. He listened to our needs, made helpful recommendations, and worked diligently to meet those needs. We could not ask for a better transition to our new home, thanks to Patrick.”

2 yrs Later We Love It Just as Much as the First Day We Moved In
“We have been in our Highland home over two years now and love it just as much as the day we first moved in. The process from design to completion was the best we have ever experienced and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality home. Zeno, Ryan, and Patrick were wonderful to work with and paid attention to every detail to ensure our satisfaction. What a great team!”
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Hicks
Highland Homes Took Pressure Away
“When my wife and I decided to build our home, our country was in the middle of the worst economic downturn of our lifetime. The housing market was in shambles and many builders were simply going bankrupt. Some people thought we were crazy for even considering building! However, interests rates were dropping, the cost of materials was rapidly declining, and the labor pool for construction was high.
We knew if we could take advantage of these factors, we could build our dream house in downtown Greenville. Now all we had to do is find a builder that we could trust given the economic climate!
After talking with Highland Homes, we knew our family, our interests, and ultimately our home was placed in the right hands. The staff at Highland Homes took the time to consult with us on every aspect of the building process. We were able to express the things we liked, the things we didn’t like, and ultimately the final product. Building a house can be one of the most stressful things you can possibly endure. The staff at Highland Homes took most of this pressure away from us and made the building process an enjoyable experience.
The best feeling comes when people randomly stop and knock on our door tell us how wonderful our home is. If you’re in the market for a new home, we would encourage you to stop by and talk to the folks at Highland Homes. ”

Dea Cox, Realtor
“We are in love with our Highland home and the Carilion community. We are very social... so, being in a friendly neighborhood was extremely important. And, the flow of this house is perfect for entertaining guests. The attention to detail, crown moulding, built-ins, cabinetry, and hardwood flooring are just a few of the features that attracted us to this builder. The master on the main with its sitting area and huge master bath and walk-in closet are also fantastic features. We couldn't be happier...finally, a home that is just right for us!!”

James and Tara Carroll
“We were not looking to make a move until we walked in to the beautiful Highland home. The Highland homes have all the character and craftsmanship of homes built years ago; however we definitely have all the comforts of a new house. Highland Homes took care of all the details when they built our dream house. We recommend them to anyone that is looking for a quality builder that does what they say they will do, when they say it will be done, and stands behind the homes they build. We could not be more pleased.”
Sam and Jan Rodgers
“I would like to express our 100% satisfaction with Highland Homes in regards to the purchase of our home. Our house was built in the summer of 2004 and we purchased it in May 2005. After the completion of the sale we had a 1 year warranty on the home. During that time we had Highland return to fix some minor items such as cutting off some doors to clear the carpet. Their response was quick and professional. We would buy another Highland home without hesitation. And recommend the same to anyone wanting a well-built home from a company that stands behind their work.”
Terry and Donna King
“After searching for a very long time, we knew we had found the “right” home when we came upon our “Highland” home. It is a solid well-built home in the Craftsman tradition. The Highland team made the whole moving experience easier than we had imagined.”
Mike and Sarah Kenefsky
“We were very impressed by Highland's commitment to customer satisfaction. Throughout the construction of our home, Highland Homes continually answered our questions and accommodated all of our requests. Our home is exactly what we want because of their willingness to be flexible and keep their customers happy. The ease of dealing with a local builder made building a new home very simple. We would highly recommend Highland to anyone considering new construction.”
Greg and Beth Leikvold
“Well, we are believers and we know you will be too. Highland Homes are some of the finest folks with whom you have the pleasure to associate with and they build high quality, lovely homes. The "terrific trio" Greg, Zeno, and Ryan have responded to each of our questions and resolved every issue (all of them being minor). They even anticipate things and suggest ideas for us to enjoy our home even more than we would have ever imagined. They are a special group of guys who have made our "new home experience" a wonderful experience! They have our full endorsement! Thank you for our new home!”
Zach and Jan Horton
“We were very apprehensive and nervous about building a home. We had heard many unpleasant stories from friends and families regarding their building or renovating experiences - delays, unexpected costs, poor quality workmanship, etc. However, we felt very comfortable in dealing with Highlands from the beginning. Before we even committed to building with them, they painstakingly went over how the process would work, and answered all of our many (and often repeated) questions. Because of their professionalism and experience, we decided to build with Highlands. Construction started promptly, and we were living in our new home in a few short months. The construction process went smoothly and quickly and stayed on budget. Any concerns we had during the process were addressed promptly and to our satisfaction. Once we moved in, Highlands repeatedly followed up with us, to make sure everything was going well. We had a great experience with Highland - we would use them again and recommend them to others!”
John DeWorken
“Cissy and I couldn't have been happier with Highland Homes' service. Its staff is second to none, always willing to help with any challenge. During the process of building our home, Highland's staff literally walked us through every step during the process. That was important to us, as we never built a home before. What we also are happy with is that after the completion of our home, Highland continued its high level of service. They have been there for us from day one. I would recommend Highland Homes to anyone looking for excellent service and excellent results.”
