Shell and Super Shell Home Programs

Exploring the Concept of Shell Homes

Shell Homes are tailored residences that boast exterior completion. At the same time, the interior is left as a canvas for you to craft according to your preferences.

These homes are solidly built with foundation work and framing. They come with fully installed roofs, windows, and doors. Depending on the specific program, additional convenience features may or may not be included, designed to lower costs and offer flexibility.

Shell Homes: A Perfect Fit If...

You seek interior design freedom

The Shell Program grants you the advantage of a completed exterior, allowing you complete control over the interior design just as you envision it.

You aim to reduce home building expenses.

For those with experience in construction projects, Shell Homes enable cost savings through homeowner responsibility items you're confident in handling. For instance, you have that opportunity if you're an electrician and want to take charge of your home wiring. You can even cut costs by selecting your subcontractors.

Your family's needs are unique.

At HiLine Homes, we take pride in crafting custom homes, but we also understand that homeowners may wish to personalize the interior themselves for various reasons. We are open to discussions regarding builder and homeowner responsibilities within our programs.

When it comes to custom home building, HiLine Homes is the top choice if you’re pursuing quality homes that not only fit your budget but also provide a solid equity foundation. As a well-established custom home builder, we offer:

Nearly 30 years of
experience in crafting

The Super Shell Building Program

Ed and Lorraine found their perfect building solution in the HiLine Homes Super Shell Program.

“I think it’s a good choice if you have the time to collaborate with subcontractors. You save money, you can negotiate prices, and I like having some control over what was happening.”

Ed’s experience working with HiLine Homes was pleasant. “I didn’t find it stressful at all,” he said. “Things were done in a timely fashion. When one thing was completed, there was no long wait for the next step. It happens sequentially.”
