I love my Harris Doyle home! I also had a very good building experience. No builder is perfect and they all run into some issues sometimes, but I can say that I had no problem getting my minor issues corrected by Harris Doyle. This is my 7th home, and I wanted a spacious one level and Harris Doyle delivered. The Logan plan is number one in my book. I also like the little elbow room, that I got this go round. I can say that I am a happy customer. read more

Harris Doyle and their HOA is awful. Some neighbors had built amazing tree forts for the neighborhood kids since Harris Doyle failed to follow through on their promise to put in a playground in the open common area. Harris Doyle found out about these forts and proceeded to HIRE someone to come in the woods and tear our forts down (that have been there for years). Forget putting money into walking trails that the neighborhood advertises and barely has, forget the lights that have been out, forget open wires and pool maintenance. Yes, let's pay to have a third party tear down harmless forts that neighborhood kids can play together safely on instead of building the playground that was promised 4 years ago. All the kids who enjoyed these very sturdy and safe structures are heartbroken and honestly, shame on Harris Doyle for carrying this act out. I love this neighborhood but the HOA and its shotty decisions and poor management makes me want to get the hell out of dodge read more

I've lived in a Harris And Doyle home for 10 years, and so far we've had to replace all the windows, replace the roof, none of the ceiling light fixtures have junction boxes, we had to repaint inside and out. Do not buy from these crooks. read more

Yelp is not letting me post my full review (exceeds character max) but you can find it on BBB or Zillow. With that being said, let me just say this - I will never use Harris Doyle again and would NEVER recommend them to anyone else. I am actually not sure how this company that displays so little care will stay in business based off of the less than stellar build quality and the terrible name that they have created for themselves within our neighborhood. I previously built 2 homes with Holland Homes and could not have been happier with the process and the finished product!! I am surprised that good people like Debbie and Tony stay with a company that is in such disarray. They should be embarrassed of the name that they have created for themselves but then again, are doing nothing about it. I would like to think that we just got caught up in a bad transaction, but I have very, very few neighbors that are actually happy with their process and/or the people involved. They even make you fill out a survey at the closing table, which you can probably guess how mine went. 3 weeks has elapsed, and I have yet to receive a call to apologize or see how they could better their process. Terrible, terrible organization that would not have lasted even this long if they didn't have Berkshire Hathaway money behind them. If you are looking for a comforting/fair/communicative building experience, look somewhere else. They aren't it. My Advice: 1- Do not build with Harris Doyle 2- Stay on top of them because they seem to have no idea on what they are doing. 3- Be prepared for no one, including the "manager" to care about you or your home. 4- Get a home inspection as they love to cut corners. read more

This company seriously lacks integrity. The realtor, Diane, offered us a house for $551k with a $10k allowance for upgrades. I went in and signed the contract; however, that evening, she sent me a text stating that they were "not going to allow the $10k concession" and that if we wished to move forward, she would have to rewrite the contract. The next day, my wife and I decided to move forward with the new contract. Just before time to sign the new contract, Diane texts me and says that the builder decided to increase the price to $564k (13k increase). I told Diane that she, and the company, lack integrity and that it is mind-blowing that a company would fall back on their promises. Avoid Harris Doyle at all costs, and don't trust anything that Diane tells you. read more

My experience with Harris Doyle, a Birmingham area builder, has been absolutely amazing thus far. I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of construction, design, and customer service provided. Generally, I enjoy producing reviews of a scathing nature for local business that fail to live up to expectations. However, I really can't come up with a complaint, even if I tried. The quality of construction is far superior to other new construction homes I have seen in the area. They are particularly much better than one popular national builder who will remain unmentioned (D.R. Horton). Some builders have a simple goal in mind... maximize square footage, minimize costs, then sell at slightly lower cost than legitimate builders. When it comes to building a home, costs are definitely something to consider. However, cutting costs doesn't automatically translate to cutting corners. Harris Doyle, in my opinion, is an example of a true builder. They don't hide inferior construction behind sheetrock for you to discover five years down the road. They build homes for customers who can tell the difference. When I was younger, I was looking for the biggest house for my money. With Harris Doyle, I think I'm getting the best for my money. The design team at Harris Doyle is awesome. This includes the designers for the homes themselves, and the interior designers. Alice, and the newest member of the team, Erin, have been awesome. Not only do they know what they are talking about, but they actually care. They make it clear that they want to help you reach your goals in designing your new home. And they don't "care" in the way that a car salesman "cares." They don't get paid based on commission for upgrades. If you want the standard options, they will fully support you without any pressure whatsoever. If you want something hideous, they will give you a professional opinion and support your decision at the same time. The design services are included with every home, and its an amazing experiences. Every member of the Harris Doyle Team has been extremely professional. They make themselves available for questions and updates. I actually feel that I may miss some of them when construction is complete. In conclusion, my experience with Harris Doyle has been unforgettable, in a good way. I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of construction, design, and customer service provided. I'm almost disappointed that I may never need to build another house. I would choose Harris Doyle again and again. read more

Buying a home from Harris Doyle was a pleasant experience. Great quality home! My only complaint would be the steep slopes between the building pads. I wish they were a little less aggressive. Everything else was great. Highly Recommended. read more

My experience with Harris Doyle has been bitter-sweet, but left (me) "the buyer" extremely unhappy without a new home. The nightmare of the "Storm Detention Pond right next to Lot 307," An eye sore! "The Side-Setback" where the two house are extremely close, and a different Elevation, than the one I selected. Harris Doyle Agent (DG) failed disclosure of the Detention Pond next to Lot 307 in Gardendale Alabama; Phase 3... when she, the agent was fully aware of the detention pond, but failed to disclose to (me) the buyer? It's very important to have full disclosure that contains information about a Lot as well as purchasing any property. The state of Alabama Commissioner for Relators claims an agent does not have to disclose anything about a property. (REALLY???) I am finding out now Harris Doyle did not own up to their expectations, according to Brooks Harris and Russ Doyle," Harris Doyle Homes is widely recognized for its energized and progressive team that works diligently to provide a high level of service to its customers." (Yes!)....But!...... In this case what happened here with Lots 307 & 308? (Beautiful houses) What went wrong? Who is responsible & why failure of disclosure? Would you purchase a home next to a "Storm Detention Pond" that is visible? read more

We absolutely love our Harris Doyle home. It has exceeded our expectations in every way.
