Highland Homes Reviews in Houston, TX

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 .

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

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

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

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.

Love our home! Picking out what we wanted in our home to make it perfect for us was great! We had a lot of issues with Highlands responsiveness to our concerns. Initially they were super responsive. Then it felt like like since we were so far into the process our concerns were no longer important. Our house was incomplete on closing day. For a couple of weeks after closing and moving in we had contractors in and out of our house to finish up the home. Now that everything is done we are loving creating memories here

Attentive sales, mortgage and builder contacts. The workmanship was a bit shoddy, needing some windows replaced and other concerns. There were a few items in hindsight that I thought should have been addressed in the design center that now we need to implement. Otherwise, fairly positive experience.

My house is valued at $305,000. While that's not on the more expensive end of the spectrum of what homes can cost, it is still hundreds of thousands of dollars. I expected better quality workmanship in this home. The paint, the cocking, the cleaning, the baseboards, etc. are all consistent with what you would expect from a rented apartment. In fact, they remind me a lot of the apartments I lived in during my college days. For a house that I paid hundreds of THOUSANDS of dollars for, I expected better quality workmanship.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Our flooring seems to squeak quite a bit. It makes the floor feel cheap. Some issues with the cabinets such as them not being aligned or drawers touching each other. The landscaping died out soon after moving in even though we had the sprinklers on. There is always mud where the fence is due to poor drainage!

It was a smooth process from the day we decided to buy until the day we got the possession of our new home. So far we have called for one issue which has not been addressed by the corporate office in spite of a few calls. Didn’t expect that hence Very disappointed.

We love our Highland Home! Everyone was wonderful in the process - we even did financing with them. Everyone was incredible... until we got to inspection time with our construction manager. He was remarkably unprofessional and dismissive. We still have items he promised to fix that are incomplete a month later. And we aren’t picky! His responses to us included “it’s just a spec home”, “I have a bajillion thing going on, so turn it in to warranties”, etc. We don’t even know what to do. (Note: we aren’t alone in our disappointment and frustration with Matthew).

I had to stay on them bringing build and do some stuff myself. Like making sure everything was sealed inside and out.weather siding people kept missing the stud pulse would holes in weather siding that weren’t sealed.Dont thing I have a straight wall in whole house.

We decided to buy another Highland Home because we loved our first Highland Home. The second Highland Home we purchased was a model home. It is very nice but it seems some of the workmanship isn’t as great as our first home. I was also not impressed with Mr Cason’s attitude when doing our walk through. Apparently, the sales person Brad left out that when you buy a model home it sells as is, this was very disappointing since this wasn’t told to us until the day before closing. We still like our home and have been fixing/repairing the few items that Highland said are not covered. Lastly, there was a mural in one of the bedroom walls and Highland accidentally had it painted over due to some miscommunication, this was very disappointing and Mr. Cason didn’t seem to care. There is no doubt that I would buy another Highland Home, but probably not a model home. ... More

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.

Tim does a great job

I am disappointed with the craftsmanship. I wouldn’t buy from Highland again.

We got an excellent price on our home, and the materials are what we would expect. However, the workmanship was below standard. We submitted a list of warrantly issues and none of them have been addressed.

Low grade craftsmenship especially to the exterior fof the house. Brick and motar poorly done.

Experience started out great with a lot of support, but ended up falling short at the end. When I moved in my breaker to washer and dryer was broken, My AC wiring was not connected, and my heat was not turned on. With a new baby this was difficult and felt these things should have been caught.
