Highland Homes Reviews in Dallas, TX

They build Super quality homes

Our sales associate was fantastic. Never pressured us for anything and most important, she was very knowledgeable about options and upgrades and communicated well on what came with the home we selected. Our builder was excellent; completed the home in seven months and was extremely responsive to issues & questions we had along the way. Very knowledgeable and communicated well throughout.

The house is beautiful but I've got tons of documentation that shows what looks like a house that was rushed and unfinished. There's holes in the mortar of the brick, plumbing fixtures falling out of the wall, above my cabinetry there's wood and screws and plastic tossed everywhere, my lights didn't work in the front of my home, I had to recalibrate my HVAC unit because it wasn't installed properly (per the tech's input), I had an entire sprinkler sector in the front not working at all, I've had holes in walls where plumbing runs into the wall, my wood floor vinyl started peeling up, I've had one door knob fall off completely off the door, and the majority of the door knobs came loose 1 month after moving in. I want to say good things but with so many issues with a brand new home it makes me wonder if there's proper quality assurance being done. Overall disappointed with how we received the house and I have concerns about how long this house will stand if these minor things were overlooked. ... More

Our experience with both Seth and Lesli has been excellent. The quality of work by the sub contractors has been spotty. Some have had to return many times to get it right. Quite frustrating at times!

We had to constantly point-out quality concerns and errors made by subcontractors during construction. Highland Homes agreed to fix everything, but we’re still waiting for some items that were on our closing affidavit to be completed from 2-months ago. This is our second home with Highland. I would not build another home with them.

Pandemic quality. Beware don’t be tricked by quality of model home. You will not get model home quality. I call my home the crooked home, walls crooked, baseboards crooked, cabinet drawers chipped and off track, carpet not secure to floor, counters severely scratched, driveway severely stained with paint and gunk, just to name a few. Totally disappointing.

Everyone at Highland Homes were great to work with which helped to create a very positive experience during the entire process.

We had a wonderful experience with Highland Homes. Our sales counselor and construction manager were awesome to work with throughout the entire process. If there was ever an issue during the build process they were quick to fix it and we love our home! We would absolutely build again with Highland in the future!

My home buying experience with Highland has been nothing but excellent! Kathy at the 45 ft lot and her staff is amazing!You won’t be disappointed at all!Get you a Highland Home Today!

Had some issues with switching the builder towards the end. Highland has been very responsive on fixing needed repairs.

It was a great experience and seamless. Quality is what Highland is known for and that's what I got.

All of the staff and in house financing people were so easy to work with and very helpful. Great experience I love my Highland home!

Highland Homes builds a fantastic home. We love it!

Building home with Highland is a great experience. Try listen to all the questions or concerns and responds to the satisfaction.Good quality builder.

Mr. john Kostas has helped us a lot. He is so patient and nice.

From the sales office to the HH loan officer to the builder, the Highland team made this process seamless. Wonderful experience all around! (Thanks John, Sue, Debbie, & Alex!)

The buying experience was terrific. Anytime we had an issue, we got an immediate response and a solution to the problem, but after closing, things could not be more different. We have been waiting months to get things fixed, and nothing has been done. Keep sending emails, and Highland says o we have sent that over to the warranty team with no response or timeline as to when things will be fixed. On the other hand, highland home loans have been outstanding both before and after closing, answering any questions and not forgetting about me after closing.

First off, the sales Experience was TERRIBLE. I was all about what they couldn't do, and there was ZERO follow-through after close from my sales "professional". Secondly, Highland was NOT ready to close on this house when promised. There were so many issues at the time trying to close, many defects, cosmetic issues and functional problems. It took 17 months to complete the build (it was NOT delayed by supply chain), and we had to find other living arrangements during that time. Just simple things like cleaning the yard after close from construction debris was a chore and hard task for the builder after many complaint attempts. Painter's work was the worst I've seen in several houses. There was little follow-up on items that were mentioned, and several re-mentions and attempts had to be done to get things complete. The subs completing the house were clearly very underqualified to perform their tasks. It was really a sad experience all around. ... More

Russell and Angela were the absolute best!

The homes are being built be the same mediocre subs as the "lower end" builders in the neighborhood and as a result the homes have the same mediocre end result. The materials themselves are fine and what I would expect at this procepoint, but are often installed wrong or with no regard to workmanship (chipped tiles, broken studs, miscut carpet, missing hurricane ties, scratched windows, chipped cabinets, chipped counters, etc.) and getting anything corrected before or after closing is like pulling teeth. Even once our construction manager Trystan agrees something is an issue it requires constant follow-up to get an inidcation that action will be taken. After that the timeline for repairs is pretty clearly "when we feel like it". I will be told something will be installed or replaced on a certain date and 30-60 days later the issue will still be unresolved. Sometimes there is an excuse, but more often when I ask why my time has been wasted sitting around waiting for subcontracters that never show - I get no response at all. One giant investment later and I have a house with wasps getting into our bedroom and everything banged up like it has been lived in for a decade. Overall the result is okay and frankly tough to get anything better at this point in time, but you will have to be your own advocate to make sure things get done right. ... More

We had many builder options and assessed most models. It seemed that Highland were the quality and value package. Unfortunately our experience wasn’t quite that. We’re a month and a half post close and still have contractors every day completing or correcting work after being promised we would be done months in advance in a date we need to close.

Willings to accommodate, and guide has been the best experience.

Love our new home from Highland! There are a couple Things here and there that have had to have work on after closing but nothing major and we absolutely love our new house!

We had an amazing time with our Highland Home building experience. Our construction manager, Jonathan, was great, despite the supply chain issues we dealt with in 2021-2022. He is kind, funny, and really knows the industry! We do think things could have been accelerated but with the crazy market, I can only imagine what the builders, realtors, and everyone else involved had to deal with. Our sales person, Kristi, was phenomenal and just sweet in all ways. I could tell the ENTIRE time she wanted what was best for our sweet, young family!! The worst part was our Design Center experience. Unfortunately, Highland does not have their own Design Center & uses IBB Design in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro. The people at IBB are very rude and NOT reflective of Highland as a builder themselves. This would be my biggest recommendation- have a Highland Design Center!! I would consider building with Highland again, but may want to understand who their designers are prior to signing. Yes, the designer was that bad that I would not want to build with Highland again for that reason. Otherwise, I LOVE Highland Home's floor plans, value, and that they are employee owned! ... More

First, Darren made the Highland Home purchase very personal and easy for us first-time homebuyers to understand. He spent lots of time helping us understand selection process for both inside and outside of the house. Second, Dexter came on board as the project manager and was also very personal. He did a great job keeping us informed throughout the building process. He always had time to answer our questions. Lastly, Beau did a great job taking us through the Highland Loan process and closing.
