Highland Homes Reviews in Houston, TX

The house seems like it was rushed to meet our closing date, which we could have easily pushed back. Details such as internet availability was vague and misguided. Still don't have internet after nearly 2 months. Sales consultant seemed clueless about the tree removal behind house. Paint work is sub par. Floor is unlevel in several places throughout the house. Drainage around the house seems to be an after thought. Inconsistencies from house to house with same floor plan in the sections. Wrong fence per groves code installed on back fence line. Chesmar homes are building fences to code next to us. The construction manager has done a good job at meeting our needs with fixes. Seems the mentality is to build fast with disregard to fit and finish and try to fix under warranty instead of just taking the time to get it right the first time. We love our house and neighborhood, but there is a lot of room for improvement. ... More

only reason im docking a star from workmanship // materials is theres little tiny things that were rushed, not huge deals, just basically small nicks that we were told can't be fixed overall amazing builder and great house for value

Jeff and Denise makes a powerful team!

I built a new home with Highland Homes at Laurel Glen, and I had very pleasant experience with them. It took only 4 months for me from signing a contract to close the house. Sales people are very helpful, polite, always answered my phone calls or emails, even after business hours and on weekends, walked me thru step by step in the process. The manager is just amazing, has very good personality, respectful, always listening and explaining. He has a group of experienced people that work for him, they do their job professionally and with high quality. Everything was completed in a timely manner with no delays. I live in the house for more than 2 months now, I love it and I am glad I chose Highland Homes to build it. ... More

At every turn in the process I was dealt with professionally and promptly! Jason and Giovanni did a great job of keeping me informed and did an exceptional job!

I have been pleased with every aspect of building with Highland Homes. From the salesman, to the building manager to anyone else I dealt with. Highland Homes truly cares about their customers and makes sure they are satisfied in every way. I have nothing but praise for how I was treated throughout this process. If I ever build again I will be looking for Highland Homes.

We sold a house in The Woodlands and bought a new house with Highland. It's our first time with Highland. The stress levels from both selling and buying at the same time were very high for me and my family. Working with Highland helped lower the stress for buying a new house. Having dealt with many other builders, once we met with Highland, it was clear to me that they were #1 on my list to strike a deal with. No non-sense or sales pitches, concise and to the point. Quality of construction is also excellent with modern designs. All steps from signing of contract through closing and after moving repairs have been seemless. The construction manager is ever reachable and responsive. He has taken good care of us, any repairs (mostly minor that are expected of a new construction) addresses almost immediately. I will give my highest recommendation for Highland Homes to anyone considering to buy a new home. ... More

Great experience with the agents at Highland homes. Lyndsey was knowledgeable and helpful.

Bricks uneven and mortar not installed correctly. The brick layer came back once to correct it and made it worst and use the wrong color mortar.The drainage in not slopped correctly and water sits in the backyard. The warranty representative suggestive that I purchase grass that will grow in damp areas. Sprinkler system not zoned correctly. I had to turn off half the sprinklers in order to water some of the grass that was replaced. If not then the area that does not drain water accumulates and just sit there longer then 48 hours.

The building process was a nightmare due to the construction managers that oversee your home build. They had zero concern over quality or workmanship by the contractors and nothing was made right by them. We have built before and never thought it would be this bad. I’m not kidding! By from a different builder!

Had to call twice now for breaker keeps blowing. Electrician keeps coming out saying there is no issues. So guess we will just have to get used to resetting the breaker.

Excellent experience with the Highland Homes team on our new house.

Good builder.

We had a great experience from beginning to end with Highland homes. The sales rep and construction manager were both highly responsive to our requests. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Highland home in the future.

We are beyond pleased with our new home. From our first meeting with Linda in the sales office to post-closing small details with Don (and all parts in between), we always felt that we were valued and respected. We have been in our home long enough to receive full-month utility bills. The home is truly energy efficient and very comfortable. We thank you, Highland Homes and your great Woodforest team, for exceeding our expectations!

When moving to Bridgeland, we had hoped to build a Highland Home, but expected we would have to sacrifice size or features to construct one at our price point. Surprisingly, our sales associate considered our requests, picked a great plan and elevation, and provided considerable upgrades, while remaining in our budget. Constructing and financing through a Highland affiliate resulted in a seamless process, one in which it only took 3 months to construct and close on our home.

On trim work inside and out side had areas of paint run off. Sloppy paint work.

Chris was our builder and did an excellent job. He is very responsive, is on top of everything and is nice to work with.

Finding the plan to build the perfect home is the easy part. What sets Highland Homes apart from the rest is the support you will get during the construction of your home and after closing. Every new home will have bumps along the way, how those issues are handled is what is most important. Daniel, my builder, and Anita, my sales person, always made sure these issues were resolved. They both really emphasized they wanted us to be happy with our purchase. After building 5 homes, you don't see that kind of "old fashioned" work ethic very often. All the extra effort was appreciated.

We’ve bought several new homes in the past 20 years and I must say this is the worst by far in regards to quality, workmanship and service. We selected Highland in Wright’s Landing 50’s based on the advice of our broker and the fact that our last neighborhood in May Valley only had Highland and Village Builder homes - which were of superb quality. The appeal of selecting an employer owned company was also attractive because of the assumed personal attachment to the craftsmanship, quality and details of the finished product. The contractors used in the construction process simply either don’t care or are incompetent or both. Sadly, construction management does little to reinforce these issues. The experience was so disappointing, that the director of construction management for the greater Houston area changed project managers after we closed on the home because of his ineptitude. The second construction manager was much, much better but unfortunately it was too late to change our perception of Highland. It is hard to believe that painters would be sent out 5 times to retouch the same spot on a wall, which is still shoddy. Can you believe that we were told by their electricians that it is acceptable for our lights to dim and flicker when we vacuum or use a blender because this is a byproduct of the house’s energy efficient design? (We were literally told this by Highland electricians two weeks ago). Their main concern was to get us to sign the affidavit, which we begrudgingly did due to the exhaustion from this process. We are embarrassed to tell family and friends that our new home is a Highland product and to tell them the unfinished, sloppy concrete stories (which still exist) or the tacky cabinet and doors finishes issues (which I am looking at now). It’s interesting to note that the sales experience was amazing. This poor rating addresses the pre and post construction process and poor customer service related issues. At this time, we would not recommend Highland to anyone and would welcome a phone call or visit from one of their executives. ... More

Highland has been great since the start. They are quick to answer your question or concerns. They are very accommodating and trustworthy. I would recommend anyone to build with highland.

Highland has great floor plans to choose from. The process was easy and they take care of any issues the best they can. Lyndsay in the sales depart was great at helping with design choices. Giovanni the construction manager was most helpful in every way. He handles issues quickly and makes it a great experience. The only negative is possibly not getting all the options offered in the design center that I would have liked to get. Example elongated toilets instead of round ones, blinds not offered, and taller bathroom cabinets. But with that said it was a pleasant experience and I would buy from highland again. ... More

Very good experience over all

They'll overcharge you for upgrades. But realistically, adding ALL the upgrades only gets you to today's standard. Most of their basic fixtures and options are dated. Don't get me wrong, everyone is very nice, but these are cookie cutter homes with yesterday's design. It'll take a lot more investment to sell.

Very happy with our first home. We’ve heard great things about Highland Homes and so far it has met all expectations we had coming into our purchase. Would recommend to anyone looking for high quality.
