Highland Homes Reviews in Fort Worth, TX

We love everything about our new home. We loved everything about the process leading up to purchasing it as well. The only issue we had with Highland at all was their lender Beau, who worked up all of our information wrong because he admittedly was preoccupied while taking phone calls with us and it almost cost us dearly.

Overall we had a great experience working with Highland Homes team here at M3. Our construction manager, Blake did a fantastic job overseeing the construction of our home from start to finish. We will continue to recommend Highland to friends and family as a reputable builder.

Our builder and sales experience have been impeccable. Both Kris (builder) and Lane (Sales) were incredibly responsive to our needs. We would absolutely recommend Highland Homes.

We love our highland home! The first builder project manager we had did not send updates and we didn’t feel included in the building process. We had several glitches through the finance and closing processes with document recording, closing dollar amount, holding keys at closing over $50 that was a quality review issue on the title and finance side and last minute upgrades that had to be installed. When Jesse came in and took over near closing he has treated us not only fairly but has gone above and beyond to ensure everything in our home is satisfactory for us. Jesse was patient, fair, honest and we trust his word. ... More

Great experience with the sales team.

Good experience overall, would recommend Xavier

Many models available in HH with good quality

Highland was very responsive when we had an issue needing repair. They followed up to ensure the problem was resolved.

We love our home and location. The only thing we would have liked during the build would be more attention to detail, quality control and workmanship, all of which would have been taken care of with an on site construction manager. An onsite punch list during the build with each and every contractor/crew for accountability would have alleviated most of these problems. The construction site was Always a mess compared to other builders in the area and a lot of followup work was needed during and after the finish to bring it up to acceptable.

As with anything there will be issues. Highland does go above and beyond to make sure that you, the customer is satisfied and happy with your purchase. Can’t say that about too many other builders.

Quick construction causes a few lapses in attention to detail but overall very well-built and much nicer than what competitors offer. Upgrades are pricy but the whole process was made easy by our construction manager and sales team. Will likely use highland again in the future.

The Highland employees are very friendly and helpful. Building a new home Is a very complex process, so be sure to document everything and try to be as involved during the construction process, as possible. We are not pleased with the masonry sub-contractor but understand they have since replaced them. Highland also appears to be genuinely concerned about taking care of any warranty issues. Overall it was a fun and exciting experience. We love our new home and recommend Highland Homes.

As first-time home buyers, our journey with Highland Homes has been a relatively positive experience overall. Choosing a builder can be a daunting task, but Highland Homes has proven to be a reliable and commendable choice for several reasons. The craftsmanship exhibited in our home is notably commendable. From the foundational elements to the finishing touches, the quality of construction stands out. We appreciate the attention to detail and the overall sturdy build of our home. It goes without saying, there have been minor blemishes and missing items that have needed to be addressed as no one is perfect, but so far nothing major has been found with our new home. One significant factor that drew us towards Highland Homes was the affordability they offered. Their pricing structure and mortgage rates were competitive, providing us with a good deal that aligned with our budget and financial goals as first-time buyers. This aspect made the whole process more accessible and less stressful for us. Moreover, communication with our builder has been positive. It's essential to feel heard and understood during the process of moving into a new house, and Highland Homes has been receptive to our concerns and queries. We appreciate their willingness to listen and address our needs throughout the process. However, there's room for improvement in their responsiveness to issues that arise post-construction. It seems like the building managers might be stretched thin, affecting the response time to certain concerns. Enhancing this aspect could further elevate the overall customer experience. In conclusion, Highland Homes has proven to be a reliable and suitable choice for us as first-time home buyers. The quality craftsmanship, affordability, and attentive communication make them a builder worth considering. While there are areas for improvement in their responsiveness to post-construction issues, our experience with Highland Homes has been highly positive, and we look forward to enjoying our new home for years to come. ...

The whole buying process was great, the construction manager, the sale counselor was great to accommodate us since this is our first time purchasing a home, let alone a new construction home. I think the workmanship is lacking up to Highland Standards.

The Highland Homes sales and construction staff make this builder pleasant overall, which is why I gave it a higher "star" rating. The staff is incredibly responsive and wants to make things right and on time. My only disappointments are with the finish-out selections in some areas throughout the townhome, which are subpar and could be brought up a notch without hurting the bottom line. There simply in no excuse for some the cheap choices. For Example the dome lights in the bedrooms. These are so incredibly cheap, ugly and frankly insulting. But I will leave it at that. I am a pleased but I wish for more within reason...... ... More

Overall out house is good, however for the orice paid, a LOT of the finishes are very low quality. We paid over 600k for our home and as an example, our pendant lights are plastic, our door handles two months in are already coming apart. Low quality materials

In general, Highland Home’s houses are beautiful and therefore the prices are high, but the details of the house are not perfect and need to be repaired many times. They will fix for you but the time they respond to my requests is very slow. and sometimes they will not time. I have moved in for 2 months and you will find the ground and grass outside is still very bad and In general, highland houses are beautiful and therefore the prices are high. but the details of the house are not complete and need to be repaired many times. they will fix it but the time they respond to my requests is very slow. and sometimes is not ontime. I have moved in for 2 months and you can see the landscape and grass outside is still very bad and messy. They were fixed but leftover a bunch of sod . They said that will haul them away on the next day but almost a week they still not come to pick them up. Other than the above problems, I think the rest is still good. ... More

They are very busy and still things are yet to be fixed after a 2 month clouser, i think i paid more for the house compared to similar size build adjustment

Love the house. A lot of small things needed to be fixed.

Overall, we are happy with our home...but there are little things we think Highland could have done better at. Since moving in we've found things that either the construction manager or the subs should have caught before releasing the home. For instance - uneven grout, tiles with clearly visible chips, wobbly paint lines, inoperable or poorly installed data cables, and overall cleaning prior to release. I will say that when brought to the attention of the builder, they have been quick to remedy. Like I said, we are happy with the house but I doubt we will go with Highland if and when we need to move to a larger home. Although a semi-custom builder, don't believe they really took the time to make sure the house it perfect. More concerned with closing and moving on to the next house in line. ... More

Home buying experience with loan department and realtor was very pleasant. Felt as if they were trying their best to allow us the best opportunity to purchase the home, and made the loan process straight forward. Greatest challenge during process was working with Jason the project manager. His response time was poor, and was very inflexible in finding a time to meet with him. I had to do his ONE OPTION, and my concerns/schedule was of no priority to him whatsoever. The walkthrough was condescending how he instructed and went over the home features, and if anything discussed prior needed to be done I had to reach out multiple times just to have a change of it getting done. Would not recommend him to any of my peers. ... More

Communication was not always good including the lack of consistent, periodic updates on construction status and warranty work. Some subcontractors were good, others were sloppy and unreliable.

Disappointed in the lack of attention to detail in workmanship. Builders rep has been responsive, but the quantity of discrepancies and the duration of time to remedy them has been frustrating. Some repairs have caused the need for subsequent repairs which have not been addressed. Unfortunately I would not recommend Highland Homes to others.

My husband and I thought we did our due diligence in researching different builders. We chose highland homes because of their great reviews and the praise they received by close friends and family. Anytime I would tell someone which builder we were going with, the response would always be “I love highland homes”. Our builder was super nice and once the building process began, he was really great at sending weekly updates of what was going on and what they were working on. I’m not sure if it was because there were so many other homes going up at the same time as ours (our builder did state that there was 2 other homes closing on the same day as us) or what went wrong, but I definitely feel as though they hired cheap, third party contractors and other construction workers that they typically don’t use. Upon moving in, our cabinets weren’t closing properly, our house wasn’t properly cleaned (paint stains on bathroom floors), hallway lights weren’t working, under the master bath sink was dirty, chips/scratches in wood flooring, our outside brick paint (which we paid extra for) was thin and you could see the red brick coming through, our dining chandelier wasn’t centered, our master bath counters weren’t fully glued down, crooked baseboards, our ceiling Sheetrock is not flat/can see where the sheets intersect and the worst of all- a master shower leak which required 1.5 weeks of in depth fixing. Our builder was really great at coming in to fix things in a timely manner but overall, the work just seemed pretty sloppy and it was disappointing to move into your brand new home and pretty much live in a construction zone as workers came in and out fixing things that should’ve already been done to begin with. Quality of the home was very disappointing - although most of these things have been fixed, I’m just overall not impressed and don’t get the hype. ... More

We love our new Highland home. Kate in the office has been phenomenal from start to finish and continues to be great if we ever need her. I wish I could say the same for the builder. Emails were consistently ignored, communication on repairs were poor, and excuses were plenty. It wasn't until we complained that we started to get the service that we expected in the first place. The house had the normal things that needed to be repaired but nothing major. The one issue we have is the varying levels of the backyard. From this water collects on one side of our yard. The fill used for the dirt is poor so it stays muddy several days after it rains. When asked about this our builder said "well, it's up to code". It'll now be an added cost on use to fill the low spots. There are a few areas where it was clear the workers got lazy but overall we're happy with the house. Now if we can only get neighbors who don't leave dogs out all day to bark(obviously not on Highland but important to consider in the Morningstar neighborhood). ... More
