Highland Homes Reviews in Dallas, TX

Visiting the model home was the 1st and ONLY house I viewed during my home buying search! Darren and Austin were great to work with and very responsive to my questions and concerns during the building phase and even after close.

Well done , thank you for everything

Negative: Extreme disparity between standard and upgrade expectations. Very confusing! Extremely low quality workmanship! Continuous need for repairs before closing. Disrespect for owner’s investment. Dents and gouges in upgraded cupboards. Positives: Great interaction with sales staff and design center during building process. Quality fixtures, appliances, flooring, etc. Construction manager’s attention to concerns. Quick follow up to issues after closing.

The home buying experience was good. I enjoyed it.

This was my second home to be built and I've used Highland Homes both times because of how well the experience was!

We had great expectations when we initially signed in for Highland homes at Lakewood at Brookhollow, prosper but later our experience with the sales and the builder turned to be the worst. It is unfortunate even after paying such a hefty price for the new home by Highland we had to face such an ordeal and still struggling to get many issues fixed. All the work is contracted and there is no proper inspection of the work post completion by the contractor. House was handed to us with many pending issues. The builder took advantage of the fact that we were not in a position to reschedule the closing and left many open items unaddressed. No proper response even after repeated follow up. No proper information provided. Pragmatic living conditions not taken into consideration. Many upgrades were ignored and we had to specifically point out and get the rework done. Almost 50+ days of closing and we still have many unsolved/unaddressed issues. ... More

Highland homes is a great builder but with this community having to deliver too many homes in short time, construction managers have too many homes in their hands hence some of the things are not being looked upon. My CM - Dillon was awesome and hence I got a good home, but I have seen my neighbors homes where the CMs are completely ignorant or MIA, and their homes are not up to the mark. Request Highland homes to assign more CMs to this community so that new homes constructed as per buyer's needs. I, personally do not have many complaints.

It was a good experience with Highland Homes during the entire buying-construction-closing cycle. We noticed a trust worthy approach on the sales, reviews, construction and warranty requests

From the first time we visited Highland we were impressed. We visited several different locations in Colorado and Texas. The sales teams were very professional and friendly. We finally bought in Wildridge in Oak Point. The entire process was handled very well from contract to close. The building timeframe was quick and despite weather issues, our home was built within 30 days of the original estimate. Design team was helpful in the selection of the many options for tile, wood, paint, etc. Building construction managers were amazing, providing regular updates and status reports. We’ve had a couple of repairs needed that were handled quickly. Overall great experience. ... More

Great experience through every step!! Kathi and Geoffrey were amazing to work with and made the process smooth for us during this challenging market! Thanks! We love our new home and the community is incredible!

Working with Mike W. was great. He was very responsive. Took care of any issues immediately and followed up on everything.

Absolutely had an amazing experience building my first home with Highland. They were able to answer all of my questions regarding the home building process super easily and never complained. Had the best PM and Sales Manager. Highly recommended Highland to anyone!!

Sharing my experience with the builder right from day one, I decided to go with this builder based on past reviews in YouTube videos. I had read in a few places that they were one of the best in the price range I was looking to buy our home. However, my experience turned out to be bittersweet. The first discussion and contract signing process were too hurried due to high demand and limited available lots. The sales agent even threatened to cancel the contract if it wasn't signed the next day. Moving on to the design studio, there weren't many choices available. The IBB design studio appeared disorganized, and the designer consultants seemed focused on rushing through the process. They stressed the importance of finishing the design within a stipulated time, or else we would be charged extra per hour for any delays. Then came the building process. Initially, our builder seemed nice, but after the concrete foundation was poured, they started rushing everything. They would threaten us to confirm certain selections immediately, or they would default to the standard builder-grade options. Many selections were not offered or given a choice, such as tinted bathroom windows. Our corner lot with a bathroom facing the main road could have benefited from a frosted window, but this option was never discussed. Another example was the insulated garage, which was offered to some buyers but not given as a choice to many, even though we were willing to pay for it. These are just a few examples, but there were many other missed opportunities that are difficult to cover. There were also construction inputs that were overruled or ignored. For instance, there was a sharp wooden stair end that posed a safety risk, especially for crawling babies. Lighting fixture and kitchen selection processes were confusing, and neither the builder nor the salespeople had a clear idea of what would be provided versus what was available. The building quality was average compared to other builders, as we often hear squeaky floors on the second floor, which indicates a lack of quality. Unfortunately, this is not covered under the warranty. The lawn was very poor, with hardly any topsoil. We noticed that sprinkler pipes were above ground and openly lying on top of the lawn. The backyard was uneven, causing water to not flow properly. Additionally, we opted for LVP flooring on the first floor, but in several places, we can clearly see that the flooring is floating and sinks down when stepped on. The builder informed us that LVP flooring would be floating, but the execution seems flawed. Overall, we noticed that our builder did not maintain a consistent standard for building homes. They would offer certain things for free to one buyer but charge the same amount to another buyer. They were not consistent across buyers and showed favoritism. Building a home is a big and lengthy process, and while we understand that each model comes with its own selections, the lack of consistency was disappointing. The electrical selection company, Highland Homes, was also a disappointment. They did not provide any choices and failed to educate many new buyers on what was needed or advise on certain selections. They simply placed media room speaker points wherever they deemed fit. Attached at the end is a picture of the sharp wooden stair end for reference. Thank you for taking the time to read about my experience with this builder. ... More

Highland Homes delivers a quality home, with attention to all details. They made it a personalized experience and had wonderful follow-through on any questions and concerns..

The Sales staff at Highland Homes were extremely helpful to my wife and I. From picking out the designs and the details of the house. To finalizing the house projections. I would like to thank Mrs. Deborah, Mrs. Susan for helping us.

Very responsive to any and all issues, very friendly staff, nice home. Overpriced considering the finishes, etc…the price of being in this area.

Our overall buying experience was good. We were thoroughly informed about our options throughout the process and our sales rep always handled himself professionally, being plenty patient with any of our inquiries. Where Highland Homes becomes “just another builder out to make a quick buck” is with the integrity that follows moving in. Every builder misses things, but we figured that given Highland Home’s reputation, things would be different when it came to home repairs. We were wrong. We have been dealing with an issue concerning one of our appliances tripping a breaker. Initially, we were told by our project manager that Highland Homes has been experiencing this due to a new code being passed. They sent an electrician and he “assessed” both the dryer and their breaker. They “swapped out” a breaker and left it at that. The dryer continues to trip the breaker and they have now pivoted to asking that we either replace a wire on an appliance that was previously working perfectly, or better yet, have that wire completely removed, making it a fire hazard. The luster of being a new homeowner via Highland Homes has quickly faded. So be warned if you expect them to live up to their word. It truly is a shame that people operate this way, especially after such a meaningful purchase, but these companies are always ultimately out to make a profit and look the other way when held accountable.

Sia, Mia, and Tim Have been amazing to work with. Very kind, caring and responsive people.

Like any new construction, you will find things that need attention. They will address it, no questions asked.

Highland homes is kind, flexible and reliable. We LOVE our home!

Everything during our home buying was extremely smooth from initial meeting with the salesman Zach in which case he is the absolute best to close. We couldn't have picked a better builder than Highland homes. Once our home was completed it was far above and beyond our expectations. We closed about 45 days ago and are still noticing little details in design that are absolutely fantastic! Highland is the way to go for a brand new home buying experience.

My experience hasn’t been good. I choose Highland because of their reputation, however they have NOT stood up to their name. There has been many errors and oversights throughout the entire process from incorrect ceiling heights, bathroom flooding, missing lights, texturing, painting etc., corrects are still being made which is NOT good howbeit some major and some minor. The contractors Do Not take pride or care in their work, their craftsmanship is poor which makes for a poor quality home. Maybe the more expensive lots have better builders and contractors but my experience has been awful. I’m sadden to say because this is my home and investment and I expected better or at least good but instead it’s just ok. I would not recommend this builder. ... More

Buying experience was awesome….Highland Homes are great homes as expected with their modern designs…our construction manager Juan is great with helping us with any questions as needed…the closing date was on time or earlier as promised….overall we are very happy with our builder Highland Homes and would highly recommended to future buyers

For the price I paid and the interest on the loan, they should have taken more time to perfect the completions; have more space in the bathroom design, more patio space, and even a study room. Also, for the cost of the HOA we should have an indoor pool that we could use all year round.

If your sales person is Haeli then be specific to the details. She doesn’t provide you with any details as she thinks it doesn’t matter to us. But end of the day we are paying money so ask every detail of lot inside and outside of perimeter. These people just work for the money and don’t value you after signing the sales agreement. I realized cheap products being used in some places of the construction. Highland homes loan officer Lindsay, not provided any steps details. Loan process was not transparent. She never told until I ask for. Over all rating okay to buy from highland homes but there bunch of other builders too. Try to consider other builder if you have options. ... More
