    ​After having a fence installed by Highland a few years ago, I recently discovered that the specific fencing materials they used have been discontinued and are no longer available. This means if a tree or storm damages a panel, I will be forced to buy a completely different brand that won't match the rest of my yard. Highland never reached out via phone or email to warn me that this product was being phased out. Due to this lack of foresight and poor customer service, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for your fencing needs.

    Hi Jeremy...I'm sorry for your issues with the discontinued fencing. Unfortunately we have no control or any sort of awareness of materials becoming obsolete. I'm happy to talk with you about potential solutions if you are interested. Phil Leger Owner

    Had an estimate done for fencing. I had multiple fencing questions that he didnt know the answer to (to include if they were staked in or dug and cemented). He gave me a higher linear footage than 2 other companies by about 20 feet. When he …

    Highland did our roof, siding, and gutters in 2022. Communication was awful unless it was about payment, at which point they called immediately. Workers didn’t show up for a full week in the middle of a job, telling me themselves when they …

    The shingles they put on my roof don’t even match the rest. The color difference is even more obvious when the sun is out! When they said I’d pay for materials, I assumed they meant matching materials?? They also left garbage on my lawn, …

    Hi Jenny, we appreciate your feedback regarding this repair. As stated in our contract, "new materials will not exactly match the wear and tear look of existing materials and mismatched materials will not look like original materials". We did quote you $165 plus tax for the initial inspection and then there would be an additional amount based on hours worked and materials used. If you would like a copy of this signed contract, please let us know and we can send you another copy.

    Quality and safety is not their priority. Damaged the interior walls while replacing siding, and all the openings, the best was they left long lengths of siding on the dunnage outside 2 stories up all weekend, which broke and blew off. Also …

    I cannot seem to find your name in our customer files? I would like to resolve your concerns, but I cannot help someone I don't have a record of. I assume you are the customer, or are you speaking on someone's behalf? I do not take negative reviews lightly, so a phone call would be a good way to resolve this matter. Please call the office and ask for the owner....Sincerely Phil Leger- owner

    The shingles they put on my roof don’t even match the rest. The color difference is even more obvious when the sun is out! When they said I’d pay for materials, I assumed they meant matching materials?? They also left garbage on my lawn, and apparently brought a dog with them? My mail carrier left a package at a different door, because he said there was a dog running around while they were on the roof. I don’t even have a dog… The final cost was over 2x the estimate they gave me too. 👎 Update: I later received an email asking if I had any comments/concerns/suggestions. I restated everything I said in this review. Like yes, it would be nice if it was done well… I got no response at all, and there was never an attempt to come fix the obvious color/shape difference of the shingles 🤷‍♀️. I received a text asking how they did too, and I said the same things then. Again, no response. Why repeatedly ask people how you did, when you don’t care? When I have to have my roof fully replaced, I’m obviously going to just choose a different company.

    Chad & installation crew are all fantastic! We have used Highland for multiple Fencing projects, they are top notch, no mess & extremely professional. Highly recommend, keep up the great work!

  • 5 out of 5Robin LaWall2 days ago

    I had contacted Highland Contractors for an estimate and did not have to wait long at all. Jason came out and I could tell he was VERY familiar with the gutter work I wanted done. He also offered his opinion on our roof work another contractor did, which was very helpful. He also helped me in getting my insurance company to help pay for the work done, which I was not expecting at all. They gave me a time frame for the work to be done and that is exactly when they came to do it. They were punctual, respectful of my property, and had a thorough knowledge to even fix some "surprises" they found when they removed my old Gutter Helmets. From the contractor, to the employees who did the install, to the office staff I could not be happier with how the process went. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    This summer I discovered that House Sparrows had pecked a whole in the sub-facia of my roof and were nesting under the rafters. Highland contractors came to the rescue, even though this was a small job! Vinney came out, scaled the roof, 3 stories up and fixed the hole....good as new. Highland is a great company with skilled, responsive staff like Vinney. I rate them 5 stars.

    Hi Daniel J! Thank you so much for your kind words and business. We appreciate you so much!

    Vinny was professional and listened to our concerns about our leaking roof. While removing a section of the roof he looked for and found the root cause of the leak and resolved the issue. While working he minimized trash and completely cleaned up after completing the work. We would recommend Highland Contractors.

  • 5 out of 5David Putza month ago

    We had Chad come and give us an estimate, and he walked us through the process very clearly. He was accommodating and addressed all of our concerns and questions. We received estimates from 5 different companies but Highland was the friendliest and most transparent. The crew that did the work was fast and efficient. They had to come back a couple more times to clean up a few things, but the project manager Mike was very understanding and had no problems with our requests. Overall a fantastic job and great experience. Highland went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

    Highland Contractors put up a fence for us. My husband & I could not be more pleased with the result. From first contact with Mr. Chad Newbauer the company was professional and friendly. I cannot say enough good things about the 2 men who came on a hot and then rainy day to install the fence. Professional, friendly, hard working guys. They worked through challenging conditions to finish the fence in one day. (107 ft of fence in one day!) Always with a smile on their faces. I will definitely use this company when we have more projects.

    Vinny from Highland Contractors build a completely new deck/porch in a week for us, exceeding my expectations. Each piece of wood perfectly placed, each nail centered. Perfect craftsmanship. Friendly, neat, and dare I say quiet? I barely knew he was here. Love it. Thanks Vinny.
