I have been friends with Britney and Braxton for years and can attest to the fact that they run a business that is founded on integrity and reliability. I highly recommend them for any and all construction needs. They will be thorough, fair, and your end product will be something that lasts for many years to come!
General Contractor in Cleveland TN
Highpoint Construction serves as a general contractor in Cleveland TN for custom homes, large additions, substantial remodeling, roofing, commercial improvements, and other projects that involve multiple trades and structural work.
We coordinate those trades around the work already in place and the work that comes next. Changing a wall opening can affect framing loads, electrical routes, drywall, trim, and cabinetry. Moving plumbing after the floor system is framed can require structural changes beyond the plumbing work itself. Roofing changes can also alter framing, flashing, drainage, and exterior finishes.
We review those conflicts before framing, drywall, or finish work covers them. If you’re looking for a general contractor in Athens, or need a general contractor near Decatur who can coordinate framing, mechanical work, exterior systems, inspections, and finish work, call us. We resolve conflicts on site while the work is still open and easier to correct instead of passing the problem to the next trade.

We Tie New Construction Into the Existing Structure
When we add onto or remodel an existing structure, the new work has to match what is actually there – not just what appears on the plans. Homes settle, previous repairs change framing, and older construction does not always line up the way drawings suggest.
We verify floor elevations, wall locations, rooflines, openings, and structural connections before framing or exterior work begins. If a new floor sits too high or too low, that difference can affect stairs, door openings, finished flooring, cabinets, siding, and trim. Roof tie-ins also have to control both load transfer and water movement. A poor transition can create framing stress, awkward roof geometry, or flashing problems later.
Demolition can expose conditions we could not see from the finished surface. We may find framing changes, old repairs, or mechanical routes that affect the original plan. When that happens, we adjust the work before covering it again. We would rather solve the problem while the structure is open than leave the next trade to work around it.
We Build for Cleveland & Bradley County Site Conditions
Around Cleveland and Bradley County, clay soil, slopes, and runoff change how we prepare a site. Clay-heavy soils hold water after prolonged rain, and excavation can disturb ground that previously supported patios, walks, porches, or other parts of the property.
An addition creates more roof area, which sends more runoff to the ground. If that water is directed toward the original foundation, it can increase moisture around below-grade walls and add hydrostatic pressure where drainage is already limited. Grading, compaction, drainage paths, and downspout discharge all have to be adjusted for the added roof area and changed drainage pattern.
We look at how finished grade meets the structure, where water will move after the project is complete, and whether disturbed soil will support the new work properly. A property near central Cleveland may require different site decisions than a sloped lot outside the city. Soil behavior, elevation, runoff, and existing drainage all affect how we prepare the site before later construction covers those decisions.

We Keep Our Clients Involved in the Right Decisions
Our clients stay involved in the decisions that affect their project, but they do not have to manage every subcontractor themselves. We keep the responsibilities clear so you know which decisions belong to you and which coordination stays with us.
If a cabinet layout changes electrical locations, we bring that to you before rough-in. If you add an exterior door, we explain what that changes in framing, siding, flashing, trim, and scheduling before the opening is created. A roofing change may affect material quantities, flashing details, and exterior work that has already been planned.
You should not have to call framing, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and finish crews separately to figure out what happens next. We coordinate those responsibilities and bring you the decisions that require your input, along with what each one changes. For clients in Cleveland, Charleston, Georgetown, and nearby East Tennessee communities, that keeps the owner involved in the project without shifting subcontractor coordination back onto them.
We Address Scope Changes Before More Work Is Affected
We expect some projects to change after construction begins. Demolition may expose a hidden condition. A client may add work that was not part of the original scope. A material may change after ordering has started. Before we approve a scope change, we identify what it changes in labor, materials, scheduling, and other trades.
Adding a window after framing can affect lumber, labor, sheathing, siding, flashing, trim, and the schedule. Changing a finish material may require different preparation or delay another crew if the product is not available when planned. One change can affect several completed or scheduled parts of the job.
We explain those effects before work continues so you can see the actual cost and construction impact before approving the change. Then we update the affected labor, materials, and scheduling. As a general contractor in Cleveland TN and serving Athens, Decatur, and Georgetown as well as Meigs County, Highpoint stays involved when those decisions come up.

Testimonials
I enjoyed building with Britney & Braxton at Highpoint Construction. They were able to think outside the box and make our dream come true. They were excellent communicators and had pride in the quality of their build. I never worried about their honesty and felt very comfortable. I love my new home!
Braxton and Britney are just simply wonderful. What a great building team they make!
It was such a blessing buying their house they built in 2020. We closed just before Christmas of 2020 and are just thrilled with the home! Braxton has been there with a very quick response every time we had a question, which is very rare in a builder for sure. We would highly recommend them!
I had an exceptional experience with Highpoint Construction. As a family-owned company, their Christian values shine through in every aspect of their work. Not only did they consistently under promise and over deliver, but their dedication to quality and integrity truly set them apart. I highly recommend Highpoint Construction for anyone seeking a reliable and ethical home builder.
