Disappointed

  • Michael A.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • February 15, 2022
  • Aubrey, TX

I closed on my home on 12/27/2021. The condition of the home when I received it should not be something Highland is proud of. The carpet was not completed. There was an entire closet that wasn't carpeted, the carpet on the stairs was loose, and carpet was sticking up in several corners. I received the wrong stove and I am still waiting for the correct one. My bathrooms are still missing mirrors and the master bath does not have the shower door, vanity lights, or the glass to separate the shower and bathtub. I have closets that don't have the rods to hang clothes. I have paint on ...

Poor timely response and rudeness

  • Henry G.

I was very surprised at the rudeness of building construction mgr. Shane H. The house slab not level, roof has studs pushing shingles in a lot of roof areas, kitchen cabinets color miss match and drawers get stuck, windows not square floor molding not level and open in lots of areas, washing machine room has missing tile, front entry slab not level (during rain entry flooded)all this after only one month in house. I love bigger house but not poor workmanship. High priced but over all poor workmanship and management of build. I now feel like a number not personal person homeowner. A lot of ...

DO NOT BUY A HIGHLAND HOME

  • Frances V.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • November 19, 2021
  • Boerne, TX

DO NOT BUY A Highland Home. Highland homes built us a shoddy substandard house. We have been filing warranty claims several times a week since we moved in due to all sorts of problems. We closed almost two months ago and still can’t use our kitchen cabinets. We paid for so many upgrades, not only were the materials cheap but the labor/install were shoddy, sloppy, careless, just outright unprofessional. The builder told us this is how it is in San Antonio. They will never be as good as the Dallas area. We should lower our standards/expectations. How comforting! We bought brand new homes ...

Did not follow through on work or promises. Awful work ethic, many mistakes were made and not fixed. Poor work quality, things were left out and messy, extremely unprofessional.

Biggest mistake! Unprofessional and Untrustworthy

  • Siobhan N.

  • Richmond, TX

I closed on my home in March and builder still has not completed my master bath. Upgrades that were paid for were never installed. Untrustworthy project managers! I had my home inspected before closing and manager said he fixed problems and never did! I’ve had to put in so many warranty requests, I’ve lost count! My husband and I rearrange our schedules to accommodate them and they are constant no call, no show. We are contacting our attorney. Enough is enough! We paid so much money for this house. They are so unprofessional! We should have gone with Trendmaker. I wish I could post pics to ...

The sales rep was untrustworthy and the builder still has not completed our house after he said he would finish everything up the week after closing. It has been three months and we still have blue tape in our house.

BUYER BEWARE, look elsewhere unless you like misery.

The CHEAPEST labor and materials are used but they Charge you a premium. They gave us an incomplete home stating everything would be done prior to close. Instead they rely on the warranty and that takes months to complete. So instead of enjoying a new home, you are dealing with the incompetency of the builders and the terrible contractors they use for months on end. Joseph and Giovanni give you a ton of attitude if you point things out that are done with poor quality, not done at all or done incorrectly. I could keep going but won’t. Bottom line...STAY AWAY!

AWFUL. Everyone is awesome--until you close then they GHOST YOU.

  • San Antonio, TX

We've owned multiple homes and are disappointed in the details of this VERY EXPENSIVE house. Everyone provided awesome service UNTIL WE CLOSED. Then they GHOSTED. Two months in and we still don't have the items on the "closing list" completed and the warranty service is a BAD JOKE. You submit a request and MAYBE they will come out in 4 to 6 weeks. I don't actually know since our items are still open 4 to 6 weeks later. When we moved in, none of our Low-E worked, there was a FULL SIZE tool backing up our bathroom drains (they said they scoped the lines), I couldn't use the lights in my living ...

I have had a number of issued with my Highland home and do many issues have not been addressed even sfter submitting warranty tockets over 1 month ago. I have continued to submit tickets without committed dates of resolution. Considering the expense of the home we expected a higher quality buildout. The frustration is.magnified with the lack of response seen to date.

1. Buyer selections and design gallery experience was horrible. Samples were extremely small. Everything cost "extra", there was no cost breakdown to compare the cost of what was included in the contract vs. the "extra" costs. 2. Misleading advertisement of what was included in the purchase of the home. Some items were "discontinued" after purchase. Had to fight to receive a credit that was not commensurate to the item that was "deleted". 3. Quality of work was horrible. As home buyer, we had to point out things that they did not install, including missing an entire bathroom under slab ...

Very disappointed!!!

  • David N.

  • Georgetown, TX

Extremely disappointed with workmanship and “their process”. Re-doing things 4 & 5 times is not a process. It’s poor quality & oversight. There was basically none. We had to be there everyday to point out the errors which for the most part they ignored. We would not recommend Highland Homes based on this experience. We’ve built numerous homes between the two of us and none of them have been this poor.

We were very pleased with using Highland loan source. We are NOT pleased with dealing with construction and warranty issues. This is our second highland home in 5 years . The first experience in 2014 was great. Now in 2019 this experience is much different and to be honest very disappointing.
