Highland Homes Reviews in Houston, TX

Everyone we spoke with was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the process. There were a few issues that needed to be fixed that were noted before closing. Upon closing and moving in, we noticed a lot of issues. The paint, trim, cabinets, and drywall work was very messy and it has been frustrating working with these vendors to get the work corrected. They are relatively minor issues, but are issues that would be pointed out by the next buyer. It’s an incredibly beautiful home, but we wish there was more attention to detail.

The house product is great. We love the home and design. My complaint will be that the project managers need to pay attention to detail with the trades coming in doing the work. They are not checking the work and the quality. For the price point, you would expect a greater attention to detail and quality. The overall experience was good just detail and closing presentation needs work. House was not presented in the way I expected at close.

I do love the Dorset townhome but there were some issues like shower and toilet backing up because a test ball was left in the plumbing. Roof leaking after a couple of days of rain. These were the worst problems. All others were minor. When I purchased my last home I received a manual with detailed information on my home. Take note Highland.

Love my new home and it looks great. Took two months after moving in to complete quality / warranty problems. Problems included things like exterior doors alignment, appliances tripping circuit breakers, exterior mortar and caulk voids, lighting fixtures (broken, alignment or missing), some of the standard interior fixtures are cheap, window screens damaged. Sales people implied some model home features were standard features.

Our experience with buying a Highland Home was great. Walter, Danny and the sales staff did a very good job explaining the process and showing us the home. The builder, Dakota, was great and continues to assist us with questions! A piece of advice - spend 2 trips at the design center and take your time. Be very specific about what you want and make no assumptions.

Highland homes builds a nice home . But with that being said I have had some very frustrating things happening for 2 months now . Electrical problems. Still are ongoing .

I think the fit and finish in the home is sub par. Some stuff seems to be put together very careless. In all honestly I would consider another home builder when I buy another home in the next month or 2.

We have had numerous issues with the warranty work being completed, in addition to issues that have had contractors sent out needing multiple repeat visits (4-5). Eve after those repeat visits fixes still haven't been made. We have contractors showing up at out house at all random hours without notification which seems odd that they would just show up without being scheduled. However, the builder says "I didn't schedule them". The additional "supervisors" he sends to supervise the contractors don't even actually supervise or observe. There has been a huge disconnect in follow up and communication. I am very disappointed and had hoped this experience would prove better. We still continue to have constantly put in for work to be done on at least a weekly basis. Seems to me it's also a waste of money highlands part to not just get the job done right the first or second time. ... More

Materials used are great. People working at HIGHLAND are very respectful and responsive. Quality of workmanship is below average. Not sure if this is related to Pandemic labor shortage. Overall a good experience buying and closing, except workmanship is not upto the mark.

The house and detailing was as shown and committed. Quality of materials is good but could that little better for the prices paid. Overall a good experience in home buying

I was told by that guy this is not the first home I’ve purchased, things are not going to be perfect, and I will have to learn to do some things for myself, in shock I replied, the 1st home was a short sale sold as is with expected issues, I was not expecting issues with a new house built from the ground up, I also shared with the realtor that I think all the blue tape I put up for repairs or touch ups was all pulled off with bare minimum being done

For a new build it would have been nice if it was cleaned up more prior to moving in. Decent responsiveness from the builder towards issues although it took some repeated requests and convincing for a few things.

Quality of workmanship and carpentry, extremely disappointing. Grass that was laid is lumpy and treacherous to walk on as it was not leveled or rolled. Paint drops on the floor, unpainted areas of home and short doors into bedrooms. We would be hesitant to purchase another Highland home.

Tim does a great job

Highland Homes have a better built quality compared to other companies.

Bought a home in January 2022. The process was smooth and people were friendly. Once I moved in I found a lot of issues. Shower was leaking, garbage disposal isn’t working, garage open randomly in the middle of the night just to name a few. I understand it’s a new build but these were too many issues for me. Warranty request are followed up but even then they reschedule several times. Like I said nice people but too many issues.

Make sure you get your inspection get done before you move in!

I bought an inventory home that was custom built for someone else. It had been ready for sometime so I thought everything would be check and ready for move in. I’ve had a few service calls and a lot of Sheetrock break around the bullnose corners. This isn’t my first time buying a new home but it is my first time having build issues. Also numerous door knobs and ripped off form improper installation, doors barely on hinges. Not what I thought a Neary 800k home would be.

Our overall experience with Highland Homes has been positive. There was ample communication throughout the building process and we were kept up to date with progress. The financing and closing experience was also positive. I would have rated the overall experience higher if I completed the survey a month ago. However, we are 2 months after the closing and we are still struggling with getting the appropriate follow up on addressing the action items identified in the walk through. Multiple phone calls and texts have been sent. We receive promises that the work will be done, someone will contact us to resolve our issues, but promises are rarely kept. Regarding the items that have been successfully completed, it was only after we kept sending message after message that the work was addressed. We still have a handful of things to be addressed with a promise made last week that "these will be completed this week". We are still waiting and frustration is mounting. ... More

My AC does not go below 72 degrees, The paint on the wall is bad quality and they only did 1 coat, it comes off if you bump your elbow on the wall Garage door is way too loud The skybell doorbell is a bad quality product

Disappointed in the quality downgrading from previous Highland Homes experience in Dallas. Trim work and interior paint is not up to standard and materials chosen by the builder for flooring, windows, etc. are the lowest possible quality.

The home that we purchased with Highland was beautiful, and working with Glenn was a great experience. However, since buying the home we have had some issues. We have had to push our Project Manager at times to finish our punch list, however, he has always been attentive and there to help. The biggest issue that we have had is with our HVAC. It has stopped working multiple times since we bough the house. Even last night it would not cool down the house even though it was 65° outside.

What I would like other buyers to know is that a 3 car garage is a 3 CAR garage not a 3 truck garage, actually you can’t fit 2 trucks. So if possible ask for a longer garage like 2 feet longer. Also is very nice that must of the special needs that you may require, Highland is willing to do the changes to meet your needs. Regarding quality is a very good house.

Garage door makes loud noise but been told normal which I don’t agree. shelves not clean, white dust from construction still on the surface especially in closets.

Kelly was our sales rep and I can’t say enough good things about her. She always had a smile, answered text or calls quickly and was just an overall dream to work with. Renee was the in-house financing for us and made a quick close go so smoothly for us. Working with the builder to correct issues that lingered from closing was frustrating but I would not let that steer me away from another purchase in the future.
