Highland Homes Reviews

We bought back in July of 2020 secured the lot which was better than the timing of the home market now. One thing I will say that needs improvement are warranty tickets that need to be addressed I have about 8-10 warranty requests unanswered. I understand the market is crazy right now but at least tend to the buyers who bought the home as well. That’s all, other than that I am very pleased with the design and quality of the materials.

We loved Highland Homes, but obviously as there are pros, there are cons as well. Before you buy, you get a quick response. After you buy, if there is anything to fix, you will have a hard time.

Overall was a good experience. They changed the construction managers several times and there was no communication among them. I had to repetedly communicate the same thing again and again when a new manager is assigned. Sales rep was great and provided all necessary information and answees our questions

George is slow to responses and he forgets tasks. We had to remind him of things he promised to fix not once or twice and even had to inform him we would inform his boss.

Elder is the man! Great salesman and even better person.

My husband and I chose Highland Homes because, in the past, we have had great experiences with the builder. Our experience in the building process was very good, but once we moved in, we learned that there are things that were done poorly that will not be fixed because they're not "warrantable items." It is disappointing that things are breaking and materials aren't of the quality that we paid and now we have to deal with it. Our builder representative is amazing, realistic, honest, and responsive so we have no complaints there. But with what we paid for the house, the materials and work should have been better. ... More

Sales process was easy. My sales consultant did a great job. The home is beautiful. We got everything we wanted. Now, the attention to the little details is HORRIBLE. There are so many things that need to get fix that if the workers would have been paying attention, it would have gotten done correctly the 1st time. Now, I'm having to take time away from my week to be here for repairs. It's ridiculous and very annoying.

The devil is in the details. There are many details that did not get addressed by the construction manager. Lawn isn’t level lots of bumps which cause low spots when mowing, wood floors have hollow spots, grout in master, pencil lines on tile, smudges on paint on the ceiling and higher areas, when appliances (back ordered) were installed the damaged the trim and the wall paint, breaker for Christmas light flips back to the middle, kitchen drawer doesn’t soft close like it should. After reading the reviews for highland I was excited to build with them but I am a little disappointed in the quality of craftsmanship. ... More

I think they can improve in materials and labor with better quality.

Still have some outstanding issues with no response.

Highland homes are nice homes. I closed on my home three weeks before I moved in. I went over the "punch" list and left a key for the workers to complete it before I moved in. A lot of the things were not completed and I am still waiting for it to be done over 6 weeks later. The cleaning of the home was sub-par. Attention to detail was horrible. You would think for the price you pay, it would have been better. I love my home but expected better customer service.

Highland Homes was really great throughout the home buying process. The quality of the workmanship in Wildridge with this homebuilder is not what we expected. We built with Highland in another community and everything was great! We expected the same experience and that didn't happen. There have been so many "issues" The "issues" are not with Highland but the Trades people Highland has chosen to use in this community. The trades people Highland uses are what have caused the "issues" . It would seem as though the "issues" we are experiencing could have been avoided if the Trades people would communicate better with the Highland People ... More

The buying process was great

Overall, the home is beautiful. But considering what we paid for the home, the small details should not have been overlooked. Doorknobs are crooked, gaps in the caulking between the floor and baseboards, doorframes aren't level, causing several doors not to shut properly.

The shopping and buying experience was great but response to concerns after the sale for warranty issues is a bit discouraging to none. This overshadows everything since a new hone is a life long investment

Cheaply made cabinets. Had wiring issues, split base boards, garage door issue, back door to the house howls when the wind blows and drainage issues in the back yard. For the price of the house you would think we would not have so many issues. I spent 100k less for my last house and never had this many issues.

I moved in the end of April and have put in 2 request for repairs and haven't heard back. I had a crack in the master tub when i moved in and my vanity draw has fallen out.

Still trying to get things resolved after living here for two months. Worry about issues, I’ve heard about since moving in . Painting was poor.

Ensure work is done thoroughly and you have looked at everything. The contractors tend to miss things here and there.

The buying experience was excellent, but days later after we closed started seeing a lot of issues. The biggest issue was our backyard not draining very well and started killing the grass and Highland didn’t want to do anything about it, saying they don’t warranty against puddles, but they weren’t ordinary puddles. However, they did finally fix the issue. The other major issue had to do with our glass back door. It has scratches in the glass that Highland will not fix, because it’s cosmetic. I know that we didn’t put the scratches there, it happened during the build. We missed it during our final walk through, because the builder concentrated us on the inside of the home. Highland did not due a thorough inspection. Definitely spent the money for an inspection!!!! We deserve our back door fixed because we did not do that, but they will not! ... More

i have noticed many cracks in my home mainly at the window corners. they gave me a colour but still its brand new home. there should not be even one spot to criticize. door locks were all loose, door lock is not aligned properly, if you call them for repair they show in time.

Hello, we had high expectations as to the quality of home and work it will be done to the home we bought in detail from wall caulking to door paints etc. The drain was already clogged in master. No proper inspection is done. Builder claims someone came after their inspection and dumpped some garbage so funny. I asked for report showing the master bath is inspected. The water does to the corner and stacks the board they are using is not level this is very basic to make sure to turn on the water in the shower and make sure it properly drains and doesnt stack in the corner. They clearly failed and now they want to break everything up and reopen the base and properly level it and redo the tile work on the walls and rehook up the door this is just nuisance in the middle if school year. They have answers for everything just doesn't make sense ... More

I’ll start with the positives and say the ladies (Debbie & Lindsay) in the sales office were amazing. Best experience we had when it comes to home-buying. They were on top of their game and pleasant to work with. Doug Dreiman was great and continues to answer our questions three months after closing. However, we’re disappointed with our home experience after closing. Most service requests have been fulfilled in a timely manner. However, there are details in and outside our home that lack quality and remain to be resolved. We flagged issue before closing that were told were resolved but were ignored. WE have trusses sticking out on our roof and told that’s just what it is. The white trim boards in our home were poorly installed with nails and blemishes that are noticeable. We had a used dishwasher in our home that was registered to someone else, were told no reason to cover up the cracked grout on the foundation because it will crack, and found a broken shower rod in a restroom but was told it’s better to buy one ourselves. Three months into our home and we’re still waiting on items we flagged before closing. I would highly recommend not to close or sign till the house is to your liking. I would also recommend hiring your own inspector, not sure if Highland resolved issues on their inspection report. ... More

Lot of plumbing issue, I had lot of high expectations from Highland homes.

The loan process was very smooth and easy.
