Highwood is a small city with a character entirely its own. Sandwiched between Highland Park and Lake Forest on the North Shore, Highwood has maintained a working-class and diverse character that makes it genuinely different from its affluent neighbors. The city's history as a community built largely around Fort Sheridan's military support economy created a residential stock of modest but solid homes. The city's increasingly diverse population, including a significant Latino community, has brought a vitality to its restaurant scene and Main Street commercial corridor that has made Highwood a regional dining destination.
Highwood's housing is primarily from the early-to-mid 20th century, modest bungalows, two-flats, and the small single-family homes that housed the working families of Fort Sheridan's service economy. These homes carry layered electrical histories: original wiring updated piecemeal over decades, fuse boxes replaced with circuit breaker panels of varying vintage, and service capacity that was sized for a much simpler era of household electrical demand. We approach Highwood's older housing stock with the same honest, thorough assessment that we bring to the lakefront estates of Lake Forest. Every home deserves professional electrical service, regardless of its market value.
