Highland Homes Reviews

Our builder and sales rep worked as a team to ensure we were kept informed throughout the build process of progress, risks and schedule impacts. Overall a great experience and we are very pleased with our new house.

Wish the builder Joseph would take care of the things in my home that was supposed to be fixed before I closed. My cabinets, floor and stairs has yet to be fixed. After I closed I was pretty much on my own. Sprinkler company also still hasn’t came out.

This is the first new home we have bought and am happy to have done this but there are many things that I wish I knew. First off, if you are buying a semi custom home from Highland do not expect custom quality. It was clearly explained to me by my construction manager (Don) that these are production homes and not to expect the same quality as a fully custom home. This really irritated me and showed the lack of pride of the employee and their management have in their workmanship. It seems like the sub contractors are lowest bid contractors and as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Every single home on our street has issues and while Highland is getting to fix things, it is not quick, and done at the convenience of Highland, I fixed many things that needed to be done but waiting on Highland would have meant we would still be waiting. This is really a shame because from looking into Highland, they have a great reputation and I was expecting a better experience. Don’t get me wrong, we love our home, but all the little things sure do add up and have soured me. I think they can provide a good home, just be prepared to really look at everything when you move in to make sure any issues are written down and fixed before you sign off. ... More

Highland Homes is very responsive, professional and organized builder. We got to purchase new house from Highland Homes and we're satisfied with the quality. Their office staff in Bridgeland, Cypress are very friendly, they helped us several times to manage some issues before moving the house. Danny and Brett always responded within a few minutes which means they care about customers, solve immediately their needs. We definitely recommend Highland Homes if you're buying your dream house within your budget.

Floor plans and upgrade options are excellent!

Overall I am happy, however there are things that we are noticing now that we have lived in this house for one month that are disappointing. Corners cut and sloppy jobs make for cautious recommendations from my side.

Highland is a good home builder. They do care about taking care of you after you close your house with them. Home building takes time and fluidity, be patient it’s worth it.

Alicia did a great job during the selling process and in assisting us in completing everything we wanted in our deal From our initial walk through to followup after we moved in Shawn has been very accessible and dependable on anything we need. Really outstanding builder and service. I highly recommend Highland homes.

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 this review! ... More

Overall, the house is good from a construction standpoint. However, the painter did a TERRIBLE job, lots of missed spots. Even after pointing out several paint spot and areas of poorly done sheetrock during the final walkthrough, before being told those were “just cosmetic” and made to feel like we were being too picky about walls with giant areas of missing paint and noticeably uneven sheetrock. This is after they tried to sneak in a different countertop and tell me it was the same thing because they couldn’t find the one I ordered. (They did fix this after arguing with me and me calling management.) Also, the cleanup crew did not do a good job at all, with a noticeable layer of dust on the floor, and pencil markings all over the outside. ... More

Great place to buy a house

The sales component was very friendly and helpful. The quality after has left much to be desired. Needed assistance has been difficult to obtain. Things stated as taken care of were not, quality of repairs provided have been substandard and support as well. The list is to long to discuss here.

Experience started out great with a lot of support, but ended up falling short at the end. When I moved in my breaker to washer and dryer was broken, My AC wiring was not connected, and my heat was not turned on. With a new baby this was difficult and felt these things should have been caught.

Highland builds a great home and the design center experience was one of the better ones we have had out of all the homes we built. The new home consultant was very enthusiastic and knowledge and was an advocate for us as buyers throughout the process. Our construction manager was a joy to work with and was very responsive to issues raised during the build process. Job site cleanliness was one area that was a bit frustrating, but overall the end project was great!

I don't have anything negative at all. We looked at several other builders prior to selecting highland - Perry homes, Ashton woods (I think is what they're called), David weekly, and probably a few more I forget the names - it wasn't even close to the 90ft. highland home floor plans. The height of the houses along with the detached garage, the fact that the standard 90 ft lot was a pretty massive lot, the 13 ft. ceilings were pretty much game changers b/c no one else really offered that. Perry you'd have had to pay 50k+ for a lot, and they're ugly houses (at least the one stories - no way would I pay over half a mil for one of their one stories), and really the same story for the other builders; just ugly houses. As far as the service - it really boils down to Danielle, Brady and Troy. All of these folks are absolute rockstars - Danielle helped us like beyond words in all the nuance questions we had and yeah, was extremely patient with us. Brady's the man - honestly don't know how one could keep up with all the houses and maintenance questions - I don't recall any of the 1 million things we wanted to change falling through the cracks - super good dude. Troy - even at the last minute - when selling our previous house was pushed back a week, he figured out a quick fix for our mortgage on literally the night before signing and still all went seamlessly. Troy also was super patient with all the loan questions we had. I don't know if we'll ever build again, namely b/c it was a long process, but if we did, and highland built some even bigger homes (b/c I mean we're not going to downgrade at this point!), I'd for sure be happy to build with highland again. It's also amazing that I'm writing this review - I don't write reviews, but I'm happy to write one for these folks. I'm sure they know who's writing this too ;) hi y'all, thanks for everything and hope this review gets y'all some recognition. I'm putting anonymous b/c I want them to think about who's writing this haha. ... More

Overall, the home is beautiful. But considering what we paid for the home, the small details should not have been overlooked. Doorknobs are crooked, gaps in the caulking between the floor and baseboards, doorframes aren't level, causing several doors not to shut properly.

Great experience from start to finish.

Great costumer service and designs. We love our home!!

We were kept informed at every step in the home building process. Problems come up in any big project, so I focus on how the issues are dealt with. Highland Homes addressed and fixed all the problems that arose with professionalism and care. Highly recommend this builder!

Nelli is great, but we have had many issues related to the quality of workmanship, responsiveness of the repairs/resolution. Initial supervisor resigned and did not correct multiple things. Serious drainage issue in our backyard. Poor Grading, etc. Now we are trying to put in a pool and we were told there was room to put one in and meet the requirements. Now we are being told differently by the HOA GM for Liberty. Our decision to purchase this home was we thought everything would be high quality and information would be correct. There are always some minor issues, but these issues are not minor and are dragging out. ... More

easy to reach out to

We had a wonderful experience with Highland Homes. While at times it was stressful, as homebuilding can be, Aaron & Layne were always quick to resolve any issues and make things right. They were both very responsive and happy to call us whenever we needed. It felt like we were building a home with family. We did feel like some of the more detailed aspects of the house were initially completed poorly but our builder made sure to have the contractors come out and fix things to a more expected level. Even after closing, both Layne and Aaron have been super responsive to any minor issues that have come up or questions that we have. We are so thankful to have built our first home with Highland! We have such fond memories of the entire experience. Thank you Layne and Aaron! ... More

Everything great and we are so happy

The loan dept was amazing

Overall, I have a good experience with purchasing Highlandhome.
