Constraction reviews in Oregon City, Oregon

We decided to go with Highland Ridge after meeting with a few other builders in the area and are so glad we did. They helped turn a partially walled off “bonus” room into a bedroom, complete with heat, a closet, and huge window. The team was timely and respectful even given the added precautions taken due to COVID-19. They were extremely competitive in their bid and did not go over in cost or time. I would highly recommend them for any remodeling needs.

When you have a small project you may worry about being overlooked. Not with Highland Ridge.
Beginning with AGM’s design work through all the work done and overseen by Alan we felt our job was a top priority. Thank you.

We had our kitchen remodeled and the team at Highland Ridge were great to work with: very professional and great communication.
They treated our home like it was their own. I would highly recommend them for your next home remodeling project.

Chris, Aaron and team did a great job executing and delivering quality craftsmanship. They were communicative at every turn and listened to my preferences as we made judgement calls on squaring up my not so plumb walls and off level flooring in my 1901 home. I’ve worked with several contractors remodeling over 20yrs and it was the utmost pleasure with Highland Ridge and their subs. Very professional and friendly. Thank you again!

Highland Ridge took our 1948 bungalow and turned it into pretty much a brand new house. New hardwoods, new roof, about 600 square feet of addition, remodeled 1 bathroom, added another, added a master suite and dining room, new kitchen, new siding, new paint....everything. Chris and John came to give us an estimate and they were spot on and didn't go over budget (and this was a big job). Erich was our project manager and all of their attention to detail and willingness to fix even the smallest of mistakes was a rare and appreciated quality. Things that I was uncomfortable to bring up because they were soooo minuscule they would catch before I could even say anything and it was fixed. I've worked with dozens of contractors. These guys are simply the best I've worked with.

We very much enjoyed working with Chris, Ed, and the Highland Ridge team. Their workers and all their subcontractors were very professional, friendly, and skilled in their various trades. They were all helpful with different ideas to help meet our design intent and our budget. They always notified us ahead when they would be on site and met all their scheduled and proposed deadlines. We look forward to working with Chris and his workers on "Phase 2". Added comment 4/2019: Phase 2 also went very smoothly!

My husband and I had Highland Ridge do a patio cover and a shower remodel on a previous home and their work was excellent. So, it was an easy decision to hire Highland Ridge to do a major remodel and new extension and garage for the 1925 fixer upper we purchased. Chris, Ed, John and crew are very professional and more important, trustworthy. Also, the subcontractors they hired, including the interior designer, are top notch professionals. Chris was there from the design process until the completion of the project, 18 months later.
This scope of the project was huge and included a kitchen, two bathrooms and basement that were remodeled and an extension with a master suite, family room and office. The old garage was torn down and a new one constructed. Through out the process, Chris kept us updated via email, photos and FaceTime.
With a big project, such as this one, we did have a couple of hick ups, and Chris immediately informed us and offered constructive suggestions that corrected the problems and stayed within our budget. Our finished home is wonderful, with excellent quality and craftsmanship. I highly recommend Highland Ridge without any hesitation.

Hands down the most professional and competent contractor I have ever worked with. Before I hired Highland Ridge to remodel our bathroom, I had been dealing with another contractor who would sometimes take a month or more to respond to my inquiries. After eight months of frustration, I decided to call Highland Ridge. They appeared at my house the following week and got me on their schedule shortly after that. The entire job took only a few weeks. Ed Miller, the project manager, was amazing. Every aspect of the job was scheduled in an online portal that I could access to see what would be happening each day from start to finish. If the schedule needed to be adjusted for whatever reason, Ed made changes in the online portal immediately. I was never once in the dark about what was going on, when to expect something, who would be showing up at my house that day, etc. On top of this, Ed was amazingly responsive to all texts and phone calls (same day), and absolutely everyone on the crew was polite and professional.

What's more, I was concerned our bathtub install would be complicated and expensive because pipes had to be relocated, and we had to drill into a concrete floor. The previous contractor expressed reservation about this at the start (which made me uneasy), and also said he would have to remove half the tile in our bathroom to do this. But Highland Ridge took one look at what had to be done and confidently said they could handle it, no problem, which put my mind at ease. They were also able to relocate the pipes by removing only three pieces of tile (three!), saving me tons of money in tile replacement costs. And it gets even better - Highland Ridge's overall estimate came in 35% lower than the previous contractor.

Seriously, they were like a gift sent from above. I will ONLY use Highland Ridge on any remodeling projects going forward. Can't recommend them enough!

Quality Assurance, Built Right the First Time.

My wife and I had three top priorities. First was to have a Partnership through the Design Build process and not just a General Contractor to come, create a plan on what they thought they heard and attempt do the work. Second was to achieve excellence and high quality as I also come from the general contractor industry myself and as many of us know and hear about there can be some bad experiences. Third was to make the addition not look like a remodel or an “add on” to our home.

The Preconstruction phase was seamless and there was never any financial or schedule pressure from the team to get the project started. Chris, Erich and Ed are amazing and listened to our ideas and thoughts. . . even after we rung the project award gong bell so hard that it made Ed jump in another room, it was a bit deafening :). Working with their Design Partners they developed multiple concepts prior to us making a decision on the final design. They were patient with us through out the process and created multiple estimates for us to consider and evaluate. The handoff from Preconstruction to Construction was again seamless with field management Aaron, Felix, Aaryn and John as well as their Trade Partners. All were extremely professional and respectful. Aaron did a great job communicating daily of what is being done and what to expect throughout a given week. Jobsite cleanliness was performed every day and not leaving a mess behind is as important as building the project. Carpentry craftsmanship and attention to detail was excellent and the final product blends and matches into our home beautifully. The home addition does not appear as “an addition”, one cannot tell where we added on.

It is always a pleasure working with a Quality Build contractor and is hard to find. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering or wanting to find the right contractor. Even if it’s for a consultation you will not go wrong with getting the opportunity to speak with a professional about your project.

Respectfully,
Bob and Ann Brockamp

We had a major kitchen remodel on our older house. We had the room torn down to the studs. Even though none of the floors were level, or the walls square, they did an excellent job of fitting all of the cabinets and fixtures. The work was done on time, even though we changed our design several times. Erich was very helpful and kept us informed throughout the process. Our work was so extensive, it took 8 weeks to complete, and the workers did a great job of protecting the parts of the house that were not being remodeled. Chris went out of his way to make sure the crown moldings would fit, even though the ceiling was not square. Chris and Erich really listened to what we wanted in our design and worked with us to make it happen. I would definitely hire them for future work.

Since having our kitchen done, we had Highland Ridge remodel our bathroom, install recessed lighting in our living room, and build a patio extension for our well house. We are very happy with how things turned out. The post and beam patio cover was a nice feature to our outdoor living area.

Chris and his entire team were amazing to work with from initial planning to the final punch list. They truly brought my vision to life, and I couldn’t be happier with the results or experience.

The Highland Ridge team, and all of the subcontractors they sent to my home, were professional, friendly, and a joy to work with. I always felt as though they were looking out for my best interest and that my project and home was in good hands. I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again.

This company is the best! I had heard horror stories about remodels gone awry and did all the background checking I could on Highland Ridge before hiring them. They turned out to be a 5-star company for sure.

We hired them to do a full kitchen remodel, a master bath remodel and minor updates to two other bathrooms. They were easy to work with and I especially liked their project software. We were on the same page from day one! It was easy to upload our selections and know when they were going to perform all of the different tasks.

They came in on budget and quicker than they had estimated as far as the timeline was concerned.

Would I use them again? Absolutely! I already have. I've also had a couple of friends use Highland Ridge and they've been very happy and satisfied with their work.

I have worked with Chris Hamlin of Highland Ridge Remodeling for about 15 years as a supplier. I have helped dozens of his customers over the years as they selected products for their remodel. I have found him to be professional and customer service driven. Customers of Highland Ridge are always commenting what a great experience it was to work with him. They are big enough to get things done on time, but still small enough to care about their customers. I recommend them every opportunity I get!

Highland Ridge did a fantastic job on our home remodel. From our initial meetings with them until the project was complete they were great to work with. Aaron our project manager was always availalbe for questions and just a real pleasure to work with. For anyone looking to start a home project I would highly recommend these folks.

Highland Ridge did our remodel of our kitchen and stairs. They were incredible and recommend them for all remodeling jobs. They always showed up on time when scheduled. Did impeccable work and were very thorough! Watched my budget and came in under budget. Was also easily adaptable to changes. Love the crew especially Erich. Highly recommend!!!

We are both busy full times working parents who decided to build ~1400sf addition in the middle of the pandemic. I ended up interviewing 5 different contractors for this project and from the moment I met Chris, the owner I knew I wanted to work with his company on our dream addition. From the very first engagement, Chris was transparent, gave us preliminary detailed estimates, offered a good honest advice and I knew that Highland Ridge was the right company for our busy family. We had our own licensed architect who provided all the plans and schematics and she also felt that Highland is the best choice!

Someone told me once “ treat you contractor like this is a short-term marriage- and we have had the amazing experience during the duration of the 6 months project. Once we finalized the final bid, we were provided a Program Cordinator, Stefanie, who was wonderful and kept us informed on permits and scheduled subcontractors to come out and bid a project, we also go a Project Manager, Erich, who kept us informed about all upcoming jobs and it was in constant contact with us via email or text. As we run into small issues, Erich was right on top it and making sure the communication between us and Subs is timely and accurate. The Builde Trend program used by the company is wonderful, as we had detailed view on when each subcontractor was going to start, we had a view to all documents and schematics, pictures and detailed pricing. This is the best tool you can ask for the project, easy and intuitive to novice people like us.

The project stayed mostly on schedule, but we went over budget, given the unpredictability of doing this project in the middle of pandemic and we had scope increase in the middle of it and Chris was comfortable to adjust to scope.

If you are looking for a piece of mind, honest company with hard working crew- Highland Ridge is great choice! I am happy to be a refence point and provide pictures of their work.

Allan was the lead for our remodel project of two bathrooms left "as is" from 1976. Two months later we couldn't believe it. Everything new except 2 toilets we had replaced. We couldn't be happier. Communication couldn't be better. We always heard right back and Allan's attention to detail was above and beyond our expectations.

This is our 2nd remodel with Highland Ridge and we wouldn't go with anyone else. They make sure the job is done right and with care to detail. We recommend Allan and Highland Ridge to anyone who expects quality work done right the first time and peace of mind throughout the whole process.

Highland Ridge did a first class job on my project, in all respects. Their professionalism, management of the project, attention to detail, communication, and quality of work was exemplary.

We discussed the scope of work in a single on-site meeting, and within a couple days they had a comprehensive plan and estimate developed. I gave them the go-ahead and they took it from there. I made a number of changes as the project progressed, and they priced those changes fairly.

I've worked in construction for over 30 years, and I would highly recommend Highland Ridge to anyone who wants a first class project - in terms of both the end product and the process - at a fair price.

We added a covered outdoor patio space by extending a gable end of the house and adding French doors. The team at Highland Ridge was a breath of fresh air from the very first meeting. Our project mattered to them. They kept us informed every step of the way and were always prompt in responding to questions. The project manager and the construction crew were always on time and courteous, and the care and quality of the work was excellent. We'll be calling Highland Ridge again for our next home addition/remodel project. You should too!

Highland Ridge is amazing! They were SO professional, meticulous, kind, consistent... I really cant say enough good things about them.

I did a lot of research on multiple companies before wanting to settle on a contractor for my remodel work, which is a huge commitment - with both time and money. It took me a few months and I met with about 4 or 5 contractors before deciding to go with Highland Ridge, and I finally decided to go with them because they are a local, family-run business and it was clear that they pride themselves on doing things professionally. They kept me in the loop and asked for my feedback every step of the way, always making sure that I was happy with the choices before starting the work. In addition to being very personable, they were also the only company I had spoken with that used a program (Buildertrend) to keep track of everything and keep me informed of what was going on as it was happening.

Considering that contractors are in your home all day for weeks at a time, I believe that trust is also a huge component in being satisfied with the work that is being done. The guys were beyond professional and respectful, and I absolutely trusted their judgement, as well as trusted them in my home. They also worked with me to make sure that we stayed within the parameters of the budget we discussed, which was another thing that was important to me when I first decided to remodel my house.

I love looking at my closets and bathroom, knowing that I had 100% final say on the way that everything is designed and how it functions. I will absolutely be going with them again the next time that I want any remodeling work done - and it is honestly such a relief to have a team that I can trust to work on my home.

I can't say enough great things about Highland Ridge, and would highly recommend them to anyone!

After a severe winter storm, we had some major flood damage to our home. Highland Ridge did numerous restoration and repair projects for us. This included plumbing, drywall installation, painting, sub-flooring, carpeting, tile repair, cabinet replacement, lighting and more. All of their subcontractors were highly competent, well-organized and professional. Aaron, our project manager, did a superb job keeping it all together and on budget. We could not have been happier with this company and would give them 6 stars if we could.
