Your Vision. Our Expertise. A Home Without Compromise.
Highline Homes is a boutique, design-forward custom builder based in Austin, TX. Led by builder and engineer Jake Friedman alongside Project Manager Josh, we create warm-modern and modern-transitional residences for decisive homeowners who want clarity, accountability, and craftsmanship they can feel—not just see. From the very first conversation, we bring certainty with feasibility studies, line-item budgets, and mapped selections—so scope, cost, and schedule are clear before anyone swings a hammer.

A Home Without Compromise.
We specialize in complex sites—trees, slopes, tight infill—and builder takeovers that need a steady hand to reach the finish line. By taking on only a select number of projects each year, we ensure your home receives the A-team’s full attention and care. The result is a calm, accountable process, steady communication, and a home beautifully tailored to your lifestyle—delivered with confidence, not chaos.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“We've had (and are still having) a great experience…”
We've had (and are still having) a great experience with Highline Homes. Building/buying is, of course, never not riddled with surprises and semi-disasters, but these guys handle everything like pros. We requested quite a few changes & additions to an almost finished home and Jake never even twitched lol, got right to work and did a fantastic job. Always responsive and still super involved a year in, which is definitely not something typical or granted. Decided to add a few more things over a year later, and reached back out to Jake because we knew he'd get it done. Also shoutout to Josh, who's been fantastic to work with and always going the extra mile (like having his guys pick up our excess recycling and amazing things like that). Highly recommend!
