Highland Homes Reviews in Dallas, TX

While I love my floor plan this house was built pretty poorly. Cabinets were installed with damage, the tile everywhere is the absolute worst. Just poor quality all around for a builder that claims they build quality homes

Over the home is good not great as far as price. It was just the experience dealing with some individuals that makes you think? Did I make the best decision for myself and family. I know the builder responsibilities are to stick to schedule. Get the house built on time. In some case there was rushed. It stood out once I brought things to there Attention with concerns it was just about written off or down played. If I being honest , on a positive note please READ everything and acknowledge things so you don't have to fight with them about it later. If could I go back to adjust the most common things that's never on your top list I definitely wouldn't let it slip through the cracks. Be aware you might tell the builder one thing especially something your paying for. Hay can you make sure this is done this way or that way. To later found out they totally disregard your requests and say. I went with the plans after having numerous conversations and meeting felt disrespectful as the buyer. Gateway community Forney Texas. Recently closed 2 months ago the Scott's Hope this is helpful information to anyone thanks. ... More

Will preface by saying we bought in the pandemic boom and have calmed my anger according to the understanding of the strange times. This being said the fit and finish of the home leaves lots to be desired. Getting repairs done is not easy at all and am still waiting for almost all of it. There’s one point of contact and he is totally overwhelmed. Structurally it seems like a great build but time will tell. The sales staff was nice enough through that process.

Overall are good, Highland needs to manage all the sub- contracts that used on the project. Some of sub-contracts did not keep the appointments or they showed up later without any notifications to the owner. It took too long to fix or solve an issue.

We have found some workmanship issues since moving in. Responsiveness between initial walk through and final walk through was not great. Several issues still not addressed. We will see how warranty plays out.

Above average builder definitely recommend to buy from.

Process went well considering covid which made closing two months later. Quality in workmanship was less than stellar, items that were to be finished before closing weren’t and still not completed. Covid again? Other than minor things it’s a beautiful house so I believe we got more for our money with Highland than we would have if we gone with another builder.

Floor plans and upgrade options are excellent!

There were times when we lost trust in this location as far as selling us this home. And it took some rebuilding of trust in order for us to stay with them. Right up to the end we questioned our decisions to buy this home, but we did it and for our first home we are satisfied. I'll say if you can be here everyday during the build, make sure you are!

Good experience. Wish more care was put into grading the front lawn.

Overall happy with my new home. A few glitches dealing with the contractor, but that is to be expected.

During the home buying process, especially getting ready to close, we were repeatedly told that highland homes stood behind their work and the home. Repeatedly we were told that if we had any issues just get in contact with Castin, the person that was in charge of our construction, and the countless warranties. Well we have had several minor issues, but issues nonetheless, that we have reached out to get fixed. Nothing has happened. And one of those issues I am not sure is that small. From the beginning an area of our yard has experienced flooding, Castin said it would be fixed before we moved in, yet that certain area of our yard is a mud pit. The house is beautiful, we truly believe we got a good deal, however, we are very disappointed with the service we have received afterwards. If we were to be on our after purchase and highland homes wasn't going to take care of any issues, then that should have been expressed. Instead we were misled. ... More

Quicker response to warranty work

We moved into t two story Richmond plan. It is an extremely beautiful home and we love our house!! Our Sales rep is the BEST!!! We close in July and realized quickly that there were some issues with our HVAC system. Our builder was very quick to respond to the issues and has been working closely with us to ensure it gets resolved. The people/ companies that Highland contract with obviously struggle in their profession because 5 trips later, our HVAC is still not fixed. I don't blame Highland, but the definitely need to take ownership and look for a more reliable HVAC company.

The sales people are awesome and stay in touch with you. The project manager was quite responsive throughout the process. However, the drywall has multiple cracks in the corners of many walls and the material used for the baseboards seems cheap or old. The caulking dried and shrunk in less than 2 months and several nail pops appeared right away. They don't be appear to be covered under the warranty.

Our sales consultant, Steve, was great to work with. He was knowledgeable, could articulate the value and was always looking to solve for "yes". Post sales, I thought the the execution on the end product is only as good as the trades that are hired. Quality of materials aside, I wasn't convinced that Highland had any competitive advantage in this regard.

The start on picking out home design center was great.The building of the house we had delays some out of buildings control but some was too.At the final walk through we found things that were marked but not completed after we closed and still for two mouths aren't.Miner stuff we were told to call directly to builders haven't been addressed.

My only interior problem is with the USB UBS? plugs. They don't let you plug anything into them. I have waited weekS for someone to come take them out. I have been using extension cords that are not handy or safe and I am tired of it. And for an energy efficient home, I am surprised that 11 lights come on in the bathroom with one switch! There is no other choice. The garage is so small there is no place for storage. My main complaint with the yard is how uneven the dirt was before they laid the sod. It is lumpy, uneven, with ruts and hard to walk on. It gets very muddy from lack of proper drainage. It slants too much, on the side of the home, to even walk on it safely. I hate it! ... More

House Orientation to be better and to show all homes is advisable

I love the house, but I hate living on a street with active crews. Not just American Legend, but Highland crews too. They are messy, noisy and inconsiderate.

I gave stated this before that while my house was be built it was very difficult to get progress reports from our builder . Now we are also working with the warranty division on a serious paint issue on our kitchen cabinets.

I purchased a home at Waterscape in Royse City. The masonry work and painters’ workmanship is very poor. Baseboards are as crooked as a politician. I do not know how Highland is regarded as being “the best”. However, I will say most of everything has been fixed so far, but why not do it correctly the first time, or at least have it corrected prior to closing. The sales portion of the build was the easiest. The staff at Highland go out of their way to help you with whatever you need. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Love Highland homes just wish they were more responsive to warranty request or customer satisfaction request

Caulking, transitions between different paint colors get sloppy, window lift not debur and it’s very sharp

Kathi - the selling agent and her team - was incredible! She went above and beyond to help everything go smoothly! Ryan the builder, was great up front, but there are things that still need to be done to the home that were on the closing list from June. The response to complete that list has been a little lacking.
