Our Super Shell is almost ready to hand over to us.

I researched all of the different companies and I chose HiLine because I loved their floor plans. I wanted a smaller home but the cost of the 1780 was less than other companies smaller plans. I needed to stay within a budget so we also chose to do a Super Shell. HiLine does offer a lot of nice choices in cabinets, flooring, fixtures. They are the only company that offers a super shell to my knowledge. They use hardy board siding which is reason to choose them in my honest opinion. I do not want to replace siding and I’ll never have too.

Meeting with Chanel was pleasant and she was very helpful to us on choosing between two floor plans, and knowing if the house would fit on our property. She is very attention to detail and very professional. We then started working with a site manager in our town. Shanon was a go getter done kind of guy. The next thing I knew the cement was being poured. He managed the sub contractors nicely. He always let us know who was coming and when. One time one didn’t show up and when we told him he took care of it right away. He is approachable, and returns phone calls.

We moved to an area that a few other neighbor’s were building homes and had horror stories. We were very proactive and onsite often but Shannon would have made sure all things were completed accurately. One neighbor’s house was built too high by another company. There is a height restriction. The neighborhood board member’s were not that pleasant when we had them come meet with us but, Shannon showed up for that meeting and all was well. The other neighbor had to have the roof taken off and built over. It looks a bit odd now. Another HiLine home was built behind us without any issue so the board of the HOA was pleased and trusted HiLine. I’m not a fan of HOA but I now see why they were aggressive.

All of the sub contractors were very good. The cement company has one grouchy older man. They did a good job though. All of the contractors mentioned they liked to work for HiLine because they are paid after each job. The sub contractors were local so that was nice. The roofers, framers, dry wallers were very tidy so that’s a plus. I would hire any of them back or recommend them. My sister wanted to hire the roofers to replace her roof in the next town but they only work for HiLine.

HiLine offered us suggestions in hiring for our site work. That turned out well too.

I’m sitting in my energy efficient house very warm this cold February day looking out the window in complete awe that this experience was worth it. We have at least $100,000 in equity. We just wrote our final check to HiLine. Our home shines like a beautiful diamond among half of a million plus homes.

I’m very grateful that we chose HiLine. We are taking a while before we paint the outside and when we do I’ll post pictures of this beautiful home.
