The Right Flooring to Fit Your Family’s Lifestyle
Your family's lifestyle plays a big part in the type of flooring you choose. It may need to endure daily use and abuse. While many HiLine homeowners are satisfied with our standard carpet & vinyl selections, you may find that you prefer to upgrade specific areas to accommodate the activities of your family and pets. The good news is that you have that option. Rather than making a list of changes to do soon after moving in, you can make fun memories with your family and friends while enjoying the full use of your brand-new home.
Flooring
Your flooring is truly an important element to harmonize your cabinets, countertops, and future decorating. Well-chosen flooring can complement the entire room while enhancing the atmosphere and functionality of the space. It is a lot to consider for your home, but well worth your time and energy.

Beautiful & Durable Countertops
High-pressure laminate (HPL) is a great choice for a family looking for affordable, durable, and beautiful countertops in their home. It is produced with multiple layers, topped with a décor layer, then finalized with high temperatures and pressure to create a strong bond. This process results in a durable countertop fit for a growing family.
Countertops
How many times do you touch your countertop surfaces in a day? Too many to count! Since they are a high-touch surface, we want it to be durable for everyday use and regular disinfecting and sanitizing. Your countertops can enhance or detract from your carefully selected design choices, so beautiful countertops are a necessity in your dream home. With HiLine Home’s standard high-pressure laminate countertops, you have a plethora of design choices. You also have upgrade options available to fit your vision of your dream home.

We have all heard the statistics regarding the amount of house dust comprised of skin cells and pet dander, creating a disgusting dust mite buffet. HiLine Homes develops a whole-house ventilation system for each home plan to determine what is appropriate for your home. This approach considers all the different types of ventilation in a home to make sure your home’s ventilation is effective for proper air pressure and moisture control.
Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation
The ventilation system can truly be the overlooked workhorse in a home. When maintaining the filters and vents, we can appreciate how much they work to keep the family breathing healthy air.

The Practicality of Plumbing
When we consider all the plumbing components in a home, there is a lot more than meets the eye. There are the exposed features and those behind the scenes—each needs to operate at the top performance so that we don’t have inconvenient surprises. Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing is a popular material used for plumbing. It is more cost-efficient than copper while being extra durable to water temperature changes. PEX is highly flexible with continuous roll lengths resulting in fewer connections which reduces the chances of leaks. Additionally, since PEX is not an electrically conductive material, it will not corrode like steel and copper piping.
Plumbing
Water conservation is a growing concern here at home, as well as around the world. Moen is our go-to for your home’s plumbing fixtures as they are known in the industry to provide a high-quality, dependable product. As an added and important bonus, they understand the value of protecting the earth’s most precious resources. For example, all Moen bathroom faucets are certified to meet the WaterSense criteria, using up to 32% less water while maintaining the same great performance. You get to the reap the benefits of beautiful fixtures while saving money , as well as our priceless natural resources.

Advanced Electrical Technology to Safeguard your Investment
ARC, GFCI, AMP, AC there sure is a lot of abbreviations in the electrical industry. Each reference defines a very important element to your investment. Have you heard of AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter)? An AFCI uses electronic technology to detect & monitor the circuit for the presence of “normal” & “dangerous” arcing conditions. In contrast, GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protects us from electrical shock caused by a ground fault. Amps are a measurement of how much electricity can flow through a circuit. The typical modern household is serviced sufficiently with a 200 amp panel. Some families may have a circumstance that requires a larger amp panel. Your Home Consultant can review your options with you to meet your needs.
Electrical
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, home electrical problems cause nearly 70,000 fires each year, resulting in $868 million in property loss. By taking advantage of advanced construction methods and other safety precautions such as AFCI’s & GFCI’s, your home will truly be a place of tranquility. Further, the knowledge that you’ll have the power to go through your day-to-day routine without interruption is a wonderful feeling.

A Well Insulated Home Saves Energy & Money
Adding insulation to an existing home is never a fun task, but many homeowners go through the hassle each year to save money. With your custom HiLine Home, you are set with a superior R-Value already built into your home. The R-Value of insulation is the resistance of the material to conductive heat flow, measured or rated in terms of its thermal resistance. The higher R-Value results in greater insulating performance, saving you money on your heating and cooling bills.
Insulation
Typically we think of insulation benefiting the colder months to keep your home nice and toasty warm. However, you’ll reap the same benefits in the warmer months to ensure that you’ll stay cool as the temperature rises, keeping your loved ones comfortable year-round. Doing your part in having a well-insultated home reduces demand on local utilities that use fossil fuels to produce power, thereby lowering carbon emissions.

A Clear View to an Energy Efficient Home
Is having an energy-efficient home important to you? Windows and doors are important features to seriously consider when researching your home. While natural light is very popular in your dream home, you want to protect your surfaces from damage that can result from UV exposure. ‘Low E’ is a term used to describe windows that limit the amount of heat being transmitted through them, in both directions. They include a transparent microscopic thin coating on one side of the glass, that will reflect heat. Double-pane windows are properly separated for optimal efficiency. Non-toxic argon gas fills this space, to enhance thermal performance.
Windows and Doors
While natural light and energy efficiency are important, another popular item in your dream home might be the perfect view. The best view includes feeling comfortable. Well-insulated windows enhance that comfort. Protecting the view and value of your home is made easier since we partner with Milgard for windows. Established over 50 years ago, Milgard has a great reputation in the window industry. Their limited lifetime warranty has staying power.
