Hignite Builders was founded in West Seattle in 2015 with a single car, a mower, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Founder Dan Hignite built the company from the ground up, immersing himself in every aspect of construction and mastering the craft hands-on, steadily expanding into sophisticated residential and commercial projects.

A third-generation builder originally from Florida, Dan learned early that true craftsmanship is defined by precision, ingenuity, and the courage to do things the right way — not the easy way.
