Some before & afters are hard to believe. 👀

This pool house started as a working garage/workshop—cars, tools, exposed framing and all. Today, it’s a bright, comfortable space designed for family, friends and a whole lot of good memories.

But as proud as we are of the transformation, Vicki’s review meant even more to us:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Our pool house has exceeded expectations in every way.”

And the line that really got us:

“It was kind of a sad day when the project was done because they felt almost like family.”

That’s what we hope every Highland Ridge project feels like.

A beautiful finished space matters—but so does the experience getting there. Clear communication, thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and people you actually enjoy having around your home.

Vicki, thank you for trusting us to turn your workshop into something completely new. We loved being part of it. ❤️

🚨 NOW HIRING FRAMERS/CARPENTERS 🚨

If you’re a strong framer who can also remodel, we may have the job you’ve been looking for.

Four years ago, Allan joined the Highland Ridge family. We're better for it.

In pool, the good players don't just hit the ball and hope. They call their shot before they take it. They already know where it's going. That's Allan, through and through...whether he's talking through a tough spot with a client or figuring out how three different trades all need to show up on the same day.

He stays level headed when things get stressful.

He treats every client like they matter.

He finds a way through the problems.

And he's just plain fun to be around.

4 years of showing up, calling his shots, and making them count. We're proud to have you as part of the family, Allan. Here's to many more.

Throwback Thursday! 🔨 Back before excavators were invented, Chris had to dig the foundations by hand… uphill, both ways. 😂

Okay, maybe excavators existed...but judging by this picture, Chris apparently didn’t know that yet.

A shovel, a whole lot of dirt, and plenty of hard work. We’ve come a long way, but that hands-on, do-whatever-it-takes attitude is still a big part of Highland Ridge today.

Aaryn and Harrison are out at the Paoli addition, rockin’ and rollin’ on the rain drains! It’s not the most exciting part of the job, especially with all this hot and smoky weather...but this is Oregon, so we know the rain will be back eventually. 😂 They’re getting it done right and keeping the project moving. Nice work, guys!

The Paoli foundation is officially poured, and Chris dusted off the old drone to give us a bird’s-eye view of the action. After tree removal, excavation, forms, and plenty of preparation, it’s exciting to finally see the footprint of this addition taking shape. A lot of work goes into reaching this stage, and our crew did a great job getting everything ready for the pour. ONWARD!!!

Progress at the Paoli project! 🏡

We had a tough time getting those darn redwoods out, but with a little persistence, plenty of elbow grease, and a great crew, we made it happen.

The forms are in, and we’re just about ready to pour concrete. It’s exciting to see this addition starting to take shape!

Thinking about adding more space to your home or finally tackling that remodel? We’d love to hear what you have in mind.

😀Throwback Thursday💚

Back in 2019, we had the privilege of building an addition onto Brett and Heather Horton’s SE Portland home. Along the way, their little guy officially joined the Highland Ridge team with his very own custom Carhartt onesie!

We love looking back on projects like this...not just because of what we built, but because of the great people and families we got to know along the way. Thanks for trusting us with your home, Brett and Heather!

Some people are just one of a kind, and Aaron is definitely one of them.

Today marks 11 years with Highland Ridge, and honestly, we couldn't do what we do without him.

Aaron is hands down the most talented framer we've ever had on our team. We joke all the time that we wish we could clone him, but the truth is, there just isn't another Aaron.

He's loyal, hardworking, dependable, and always willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done right. When it's time to buckle down, he gets after it. When it's time to have a little fun, he's right there keeping everyone laughing. More than anything, he's just a genuinely good guy who cares about his team, our clients, and the work he puts his name on.

We're incredibly grateful to have Aaron as part of the Highland Ridge family. Thanks for everything you've done over the past 11 years. Here's to a few more.

We appreciate you, buddy.
