Happy Holidays From the Highlight Homes’ Family to Yours

This holiday season, Tony Pourhassan and the rest of the Highlight Homes’ Family wish to express our sincere gratitude to our wonderful clients who have served to make 2010 a year filled with continued growth and pleasant surprises. For each client we serve and every project we complete leaves an indelible mark on our team – from the founder of the company, to the designer, to the craftsman putting on our trademark special touches. We are truly honored to be invited into each of your lives and to be trusted with one of your most valued possessions – your home. Thank you for making our holidays – and all the days of the year – happy ones.
2010 bore witness to Highlight Homes’ recognition by the Better Business Bureau as a “BBB accredited firm” and our certification as Lead-Based Paint Containment Specialists – making our restoration division an ideal match for renovations in historic homes and homes built before 1978. This year, we also launched our monthly e-newsletter – The Highlight Homes Herald – in order to communicate the latest news, renovation tips and special offers to our clients. In addition, we initiated The Highlight Hundred Club – an incentive program for clients who refer new clients to Highlight Homes and Highlight Home Restoration as a pocket-friendly way of expressing our gratitude, and we took a bold step into the future with our new mobile textsite through mobilezen. We beamed with pride when our company was featured in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and Remodel Atlanta Magazine earlier this year. Most recently, Highlight Homes’ parent company – TyCam Development – was selected to play an integral role in the planning and completion of a ground-breaking concept in mixed-use communities in Birmingham, Alabama – a “live, work, play, pray” community dubbed Daniel Payne Legacy Village.
We can hardly wait to see what 2011 holds for this little ol’ family-owned and operated design-build firm! As we look ahead to the New Year, we are excited by the thought of all the new people we will come to know and new challenges we will undertake. We are eager to not only meet, but to exceed the expectations of families throughout Atlanta as we work together to transform their homes into their DREAM homes.
From our family to yours, we wish you all a very Happy Holiday Season and a New Year filled with Joy and Promise!

2) Marble – A marble fireplace conveys the notion of elegance and refinement, and is best accompanied by rich crown molding and flanked by built-in bookcases that soar to the ceilings. Line the shelves with stylish bric-a-brac, black and white photos, and hard-covered books – and place a vase of fresh flowers on the mantle to produce a sophisticated ambiance.
4) Brick – One of the more traditional materials for hearths, brick holds timeless appeal. Can be made to recreate the look of the brick on the exterior of your home for a consistent feel, or can be created to have a look all its own. If you are an antique buff, the incorporation of reclaimed bricks from an older home or building blended with the use of white mortar will add an air of Old World Charm to the room. Whereas intricate use of patterns might lend itself to a more Modern feel.
A new fireplace design could really heat things up at your home. A relatively simple remodel job on the surface, the difference it makes to your home’s interior or exterior could serve as the “firestarter” for more exciting big changes down the road. It’s also a terrific way to judge the skill and work habits of the remodeling company you choose. At
the door as the mouth of their animated home’s “face.” Now, take a jog outside and really look at YOUR home’s “face.” Would the incorporation of new windows and doors give your home the facelift it deserves?

Highlight Homes’ Principal, Tony Pourhassan, Shares His Love of Land Development
Highlight Home Restoration was recently selected to have one of our remodeling projects grace the pages of Remodel Atlanta Magazine, the official bi-monthly publication of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association’s Atlanta Remodelers Council. “We feel extremely honored to have our work recognized by our peers, particularly when it’s a project we were so fond of ourselves,” says Tony Pourhassan, Principal of Highlight Homes, LLC – parent company of Highlight Home Restoration. “This particular job clearly demonstrates our company philosophy and mission – to offer incomparable quality craftsmanship, unique custom touches and above-and-beyond levels of customer service to each and every one of our clients.”

As the long, hazy days of Summer give way to cool and crisp Fall mornings, you will begin to sense a change in more than just the temperatures. Within weeks, the leaves on the trees will begin their annual transformation from shades of green to a sea of brilliant reds, golds, ambers, and browns. This is the time of year when children go to bed dreaming of bags full of candy and what they will be for Halloween. Fall is when aspiring chefs begin planning for their Thanksgiving feast, and when avid College Football fans pray for an endless string of wins leading them to a glorious Bowl Game. It’s also a time when homeowners can take advantage of the “off-season” and begin remodeling their home at long last. While most remodeling jobs take place during the warm Spring and Summer months, many (if not all) builders and remodelers are willing to work year-round to get the job done. Just think, you could have your kitchen remodeled, basement finished, sunroom added, deck built and more in time for your guests to arrive for the holidays!
