Housing stock: Highland is a Lake County town between Hammond, Munster and Griffith, with largely mid-20th-century single-family homes — ranches, Cape Cods and split-levels. Some areas near the Little Calumet River are in mapped flood zones, which the town's permit application asks about. [CONFIRM]
Typical projects: Kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, whole-home refreshes. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm]
Permitting: Permits here are issued by the Town of Highland Building & Inspection Department, 3333 Ridge Rd. Highland's permit application requires a plat of survey, and all contracted work must be done by contractors licensed with the Town of Highland. We handle permit applications and inspection scheduling as part of the project. [CONFIRM current requirements with the department before each job]
Yes — the Town of Highland requires all contracted work to be done by contractors licensed with the town. We confirm licensing for every trade on your job.
We pull the required permits with the Town of Highland for work we contract, and coordinate inspections.
We vet every contractor. Some jobs take 60–80 bids because many don't call back, don't show up, aren't insured, or are booked months out. We screen for insurance before anyone is put on your project.
