We’re thrilled to announce that Highmark Builders has been named the 2025 Remodeler of the Year by Housing First Minnesota. This prestigious award recognizes home remodeling excellence, customer satisfaction, and community service.

Being named Remodeler of the Year is no small feat. Over 100 Minnesota-based homebuilding and remodeling companies vie for this award. Our high standards in business conduct and customer satisfaction were recognized by both out clients and our trade partners, representing years of dedication to craftsmanship and hundreds of relationships built on trust throughout the Twin Cities.

For the team here at Highmark Builders, this award reflects more than beautiful homes—it’s a testament to the way we work together and the pride each one of us takes in every home we remodel.

“It’s one of the most respected honors in our industry and a direct reflection of the precision, discipline, and quality each employee brings to their work,” said Matt Eastman, Vice President of Highmark Builders. “Every department across all of our companies played a part in achieving this. This is a team win—earned through consistency, accountability, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way.”

This recognition wouldn’t be possible without the incredible people we meet and work with every day. To our clients—thank you for trusting us with your homes and letting us bring your ideas to life. To our trade partners—thank you for your craftsmanship and your partnership. And to our employees—thank you for your dedication, creativity, and collaboration.

We’re proud to serve Twin Cities homeowners, and we look forward to building, creating, and transforming many more homes in Minnesota. Whether we’re updating a kitchen, rebuilding a lower level, or reimagining a whole home, our focus remains the same—to create spaces that reflect our clients’ vision and stand the test of time.

We asked our employees what makes Highmark a great place to work, and their responses were both humbling and energizing. These three themes rose to the top:

1. Strong, supportive culture
2. Empowerment and growth
3. Pride in our work and projects

Another guiding principle is our value system. Highmark conveys its values with the acronym W.I.D.T.H, which stands for:

WISE | INTENTIONAL | DRIVEN | TRUSTWORTHY | HUMBLE

These five core values are at the center of all employee decisions and spread into every department. The W.I.D.T.H of Highmark’s foundation is built by the strong character of its employees, and these values are used to attract and retain the best talent in the industry.
