Highland Homes Reviews

Great buying process

Our sales agent was amazing and our second CM has been wonderful, but unfortunately, some mistakes are too expensive and work-intensive to resolve at this point. Our first CM made a slew of mistakes -- misframed walls, crooked island, and we ended up with a sewage backup within the first week, of living in our new home. We definitely wish we'd had an inspector come out for the predrywall walk and again before closing. GET A GOOD INSPECTOR! However, overall, we are loving our home and our new CM has been very empathetic and good to work with in correcting issues that we can still resolve. While there are things we wish we'd done differently during the building / inspection process, we don't regret going with Highland and would recommend them to our friends and family. ... More

Was a pleasant experience all the way through.

Brick work and some cosmetic details could be improved.

Overall we had a great experience with Highland Homes. We were kept up to date during the process and timeline expectations and completions. The work was done great but was not perfect. That said, when these imperfections were brought up, attentive to the issues and resolved. I highly recommend Highland Homes, the home was beautifully built and we love it.

Very nice experience from buying till closing.

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.

Designer chosen colors and fixtures provided me with a home that is lovely, and well built. Light and airy with lots of windows and high ceilings, the home is comfortable and attractive.

Overall we are pleased with our Highland home.

Water saving plumbing fixtures require multiple flushes (no water saving) Expected comfort height toilets as in model, was not told it was an upgrade Several doors hung improperly, don’t swing freely to close Cabinets hand multiple nicks and gashes Excellent exterior brick work, roofing, landscaping, flooring installation, walls and painting, electrical fixtures, heating and cooling system

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.

Good builder.

First, I love my home. The design, amount of space for the price and the high ceilings are my favorite aspects of the house.

I love my home but there are things that highland does not offer that my last 2 builds did. I built an over $300k home and the lights they put in the bathroom cost $15. I wanted to upgrade those lights but it was not allowed. I wanted a seat in my shower, but it wasn’t allowed, I wanted a farm sink but it wasn’t allowed. I had all those things in my $338k home in Ohio. Other than that the home is beautiful and Shawn has been amazing.

All has been great with the exception of our backyard holding water. Cant get issue resolved via the builder or warranty... mosquitoes/ mud/ dog... needs french drain or crushed granite to resolve..

Great home for a great price.

My wife and I love the home; however, our AC unit is not up to par. The temp in the house is 72 degrees, but the humidity level has been as high as 83%. We bought a small portable dehumidifier to help control the humidity level to something a little more tolerable, like 50-55%.

I have been pretty happy throughout the process. Several of the issues I have logged were resolved quickly. The only outstanding issue is one of the biggest. There is standing water on both the side and back yard far longer than acceptable(48 hours). I have requested resolution since the day I bought the house but the issue has not been resolved. It is a good thing it is not against the directly foundation but considering the size of the yard it is not acceptable to have standing water in those areas.

Gracie and Genie were exceptional to work with. They addressed our concerns and fixes in a timely manner.

They were responsive to our requests and concerns.

The sales and superintendent personnel were awesome, extremely responsive and accommodating to our needs - could not find better people to work with. Some of the work done in the house was a bit sloppy, but when we pointed out something that needed to be addressed they were on it immediately.

The house is beautiful and many of the small issues have been fixed or can be fixed. It seemed that some of the trades that were hired were not as attentive to their work as I'm sure Highland would have liked. For example, take a look at any fence in the neighborhood and the way the nails were put in (no attempt at a straight line). The issues brought up in home inspection and walk-through could have been avoided had more attention been paid during construction.

make sure you are happy with the construction manager as they are instrumental in the building process.

Construction quality is excellent. Choice of different floor plan is good . Finesse in Painting can be improved. Warrant department is very responsive .

My timing was not ideal with being between three holidays Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Regardless the responsiveness and the handling of all the issues from the construction manager was outstanding. Many thanks to him for making unpleasant situation bearable.
