KB Home Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

Be prepared on new communities and delays on mailboxes, internet cable phone

Nice neighborhood and good sized lots

Very friendly service. We closed by our projected date with mostly everything fixed as requested by that date. Customer service was great.

The sales team was the best part of buying my KB home. Thanks to LaVon! Always kept us updated with the build. From start to finish.

VERY NICE TO WORK WITH

Generally a positive experience. They will try to get you to bundle your mortgage and insurance with their in-house products/services but you can go with your own. Extremely hard to get any customized features on newer technologies, such as internet and solar systems. Such as structured wiring (ethernet, cable, etc) cabinet HAD to be in the master bedroom closet, and no option to go with larger solar system. However, ironically, super easy to customize "old tech" such as paint, fixtures and appliances. I got a good value for a good home, but I think if there's ever a next time, I'd go with a home builder who's much smaller and hence, responsive to what I am wanting in my home. ... More

The KB team has been great to work with. The part that hasn’t been the best experience is the quality of craftsmanship that went into the building and finishing of the home but I guess that’s part of the difficulty of todays straining times of workers and who’s available to work. The KB team has been great at trying to make up for the issues that have occurred and that’s awesome!

Overall great experience buying home with KB.

they can be trusted in their response time

Overall I think its been a good experience so far, I appreciate the quick response time for questions or concerns. Always very professional.

While I recognize that we did not purchase a custom-built house, however, for the price we paid ( half million or so)we expected more…this was our second KB home. We had great experience on our first thus we decided to get another KB home. I said,, mixed as there were quite a couple of people that stood out. Steve was great during our meetings with him from the footing/ foundation to the final walk through. Respected our customs and allowed us to do what we wanted us to do. The only issue, up to this day we couldn’t figure Out how to program our coach lights. A bit complicated even with the manual re the latitude and longitude thing. The loan processors Dan Murphy and Patricia were on top of things. Justin Grasmick was very responsive and quick to solve our issues. We have a few issues here and there… but what surprised us , why won’t people do things right the first time ( carpets were not fully stretched and tucked just to name a few) I understand we are on a time crunch esp during these covid times but that doesn’t mean we cut corners. I wish I could give a “ 10” as coached by some of the agents, but surveys are completed with transparency so that things will be fixed! I do not thrive on giving 5 or 10 stars knowing at the back of my Mind it was not. We still have a few things that needed to fixed here and there…. And I hope the same responsiveness will continue regardless of this review. There is always room for improvement. I just wanted to mention, in the past the builder would leave a small pint of paint to retouch just in case the paint was chipped during moving in, caulk to retouch or so, we have not seen that this time… thus for every little thing we call. It bothers me to see even little flaws as The idea that we bought a new house , there should be no flaws. I might be wrong but that’s my opinion. Thank you. ... More

I’m still waiting for my windows to be fixed. But so far so great

There is a lack of supervision after every contractor is done with their job. KBH trusts that every contractor would self-supervise. KBH needs to apply healthy skepticism to the contractors since it is KBH who would ultimately be liable if corners were cut during the construction of the home.

If there was an issue customer service took care of it no questions asked. This is the kind of service that makes people happy and be stress free. Jody and Rick took care of any issues that came up.

Great communication with sales, builder/Superintendent and staff.

Unfortunately our home was built during COVID so lots of additional delays. We love our home though!

We had a really good experience with KB. They were really nice to work with. And we do love our home. If we could change anything we would have liked to have more "nicer" upgraded options available and have a couple of more upgraded design options such as - interior wall insulation, customized interior wood work like crown molding, shiplap, cabinetry, etc. But overall we had a great experience and everyone we worked with was super helpful and friendly.

Great experience with builder. Other staff within KB (e.g., Mortgage Loan Originator) could have been more attentive and understanding.

Beautiful floor plan and great price

Building a home is never perfect. The difference with KB is they will have the vendor return to make corrections to cabinets, paint, plants, etc... We bought everything from KB from fixtures to washer and dryer to air purification system.

COVID put all timelines behind but we are very happy with our choice to buy from KB.

Ask questions, visit site often.

All in all pleased with our home. We did have some issues come up, but that’s the case with any house. They have been good to respond when we send a request.

Overall experience was great. Only issue we had was the updates on when construction would be done, dates kept getting pushed last second, and communication wasn’t as transparent. However, the responsiveness of problems in the house is very good, and issues are fixed within days.

Great experience overall with KB. No complaints.
