Regional knowledge.
Master-class execution.
Highlander is more than a regional contractor. We are a specialized mountain defense team. In Macon County, we account for the specific atmospheric and structural realities that lowland builders miss.

Macon County features a unique blend of high-end mountain estates on the plateau and traditional single-family homes and farms in the valley.

Macon County Communities

Permits and inspections in Macon County
Macon County permits are issued through the county Building Inspections department in Franklin, with the Town of Highlands handling work inside town limits separately. Roof replacements generally require a permit, and plateau projects in club and gated communities usually add a community design review step. We pull the permit and schedule inspections on every project.
Macon County — Frequently Asked
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Macon County?
In most cases yes, and we handle it. Permitting differs between unincorporated Macon County and work inside the Town of Highlands limits, so we confirm jurisdiction before scheduling.
How different are Highlands and Franklin projects?
Substantially. Highlands sits above 4,000 feet with ice loading and high UV, while Franklin sits near 2,100 feet in a valley with storm funneling and heavy canopy. Materials and detailing are specified differently for each.
Is Highlander actually based in Macon County?
Yes. Franklin is our home base, which is why most Macon County inspections happen on a same-day or next-day basis.
