KB Home Reviews

No doubt buying a home with KB is a great experience. But not our dwelling on the first month, this was the time we noticed some flaws on the materials and workmanship. First, our countertop has a lot of chips on it but it has been addressed already they did some repairs. Second, I thought the paint in the interior was so thin it can easily be removed seemed like only one coating was apied.Third and the worst, within a month of dwelling, our a/c already broke twice! Installer got notified but their emergency service was not until 3 days after we called. Summertime! Who would like to spend their days inside their new house with 93 degrees inside? As I write this review, our a/c has not been fixed yet. I know this is a rare situation but I’m just sharing my experience. I still recommend KB because overall the experience was great. ... More

From the moment I stepped into the sales office to look at the models I was met with great customer service. Lane was knowledgeable and had answers immediately for all my questions. He was consistently communicating with me every step of the way. Every person in the KB Home fields that I have had the pleasure of interacting with have been informative and friendly. Highly recommend anyone looking for a new home to look at KB Homes.

Working with Kb Homes was a wonderful experience. The responsiveness and level of professionalism was top-notch!

The two people that made my experience awesome was Andrew and Tommy! They certainly went out of their way for me on numerous occasions and it will not be forgotten

The start of the buying process was great, everyone was nice, friendly, and communicative, but once we moved into the house, people stopped communicating with us and now we have to deal with a jerk who is our rep named Brett. I requested a new rep and the response is that we can't have anyone else. That's great customer service, make us have to deal with a jerk who has no interest in actually helping us or answering emails. We had large mistakes happen in the house and had to have them all fixed once we moved in. If you plan on adding an AC unit with KB homes, you'll want to check it when it's ran because they do a bad job at running it so that in just a few years, it'll go out. ... More

Loved working with Brandon! He is always very responsive to out questions and issues that we have. All our new neighbors say the same thing!

I had a very good experience

Best I love it

I felt very satisfied from the beginning to the end the quality of my former home was excellent the builder team did all their work very well I feel very happy and satisfied again in my new home

Things went well overall - spec home didn't play a big part in the building process.

Loan process was easy until it came time to close all these excuses if what was needed or missing kept pushing closing back a week then back another week! Upgrades in home have poor craftsmanship dings scrapes & scratches on upgraded cabinets Tub insert not connected to wall attachment this creates repairmen to come make a mess to fix the issues that should have been completed correctly in the first place Holes in ceilings around fire sprinkler and around outlet covers Faulty plumbing causing flooding in the house first day we moved in

Enjoyed this experience with KB Homes.

Thank you for KB finding my dream house highly recommend it

Took a few month more to complete the home, but over all it's done and I'm enjoying it.

Closing was set for March 24th. I did everything on my end to make it happen. The house needed at least another month's worth of work to complete along with a water leak in a bathroom. It was ridiculous to see. No hole for a dryer vent, broken trim, concrete in the garage a total disaster with spills and chipped concrete along with noticeable cracks already. Finally closed on May 15th with issues still existing. As for the inside of the house, I told the Superintendent I would finish the inside of the house myself because it was obvious the subs don't care about quality and don't have pride in their work. Some of the subs were outstanding in their work as far as flooring, kitchen stove, AC, and sprinkler system. The painters and trim sub contractors are terrible. And to have a toilet paper holder over 4 feet from the toilet is so laughable and I shared it with the Superintendent. The cost of this house as to the quality is totally lacking and way over priced. The Superintendent is a good man, but he doesn't have the ability to get quality workers to finish homes correctly and I can tell it bothers him. If I would have known KB Home was this bad with the finished product and what they try to sell you, I would have never done this and I will not recommend KB to anyone I know or care about. I also doubt this review will ever be considered because I have seen how the subs are allowed to turn out a product that does not meet the standards of quality. The poor buyers that had to move on closing day, I feel bad for them. ... More

Vanessa, Penna and Robert we’re absolutely awesome in every way. They were very responsive to all inquiries, and made the home buying process as simple as possible.

We love our new home! Thank you KB Homes. From the beginning with the Sales Team to the end with Home Loans and Construction team, excellent service!

Felt very nice and helpful

KB Homes did an amazing job facilitating the process of buying a home. They were present and involved in everything from setting up our first tour, to walking us through the month long escrow process, to picking up our keys. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in buying one of their homes!

Debbie and Johnny are truly the best hope you know what you have in them both.

My preparation from Texas was great, I could not believe how smooth the process went. I was disappointed on the initial walk thru at the number of issues that needed to be done. But all the people I dealt with were awesome and willing to help in any way they could. It would have been nice if all the construction was complete, especially when the houses are so close together. I would have liked more choices on the flooring as I am not a big fan of carpet in the main living areas. I still have a few issues to be resolved and because of all the work still needed to be done in the area, it makes it harder to get issues resolved. I love the location of my house, it would have been even better if my back yard faced the mountains. ... More

KB homes are budget value homes. The homes are plain looking and built with for most part good quality materials. Their base prices offer minimal upgrades. If you are a first time home buyer or on a strict budget then KB homes will fit your needs. Unfortunately, the obvious poor workmanship stood out immediately when we were watching our home’s building progress from start to finish. The poor workmanship was mostly carelessness of the workers and the way they treated their job site. The building plans themselves were in question as well. Here is some examples: The bathtub in the second bathroom was treated as a trash can during construction. The back yard was treated as a trash can for workers water bottles, cigarette butts and other trash. The painting has massive air bubbles and the touch up that was never ending. Every door in the house has damaged bottoms from when the workers or worker slammed them down in the garage. The drywall was installed before the roof was completed which caused damage to the drywall after it rained and snowed on and in the house. All the damaged drywall was replaced. The garage floor and back patio was permanently damaged from flooring installation glue. The flooring quarter round was installed with the wrong color. The baseboards were installing wrong the first time. We waited a month for our ceiling fans to get installed and fixed. We are still waiting for our flooring to get corrected. Our cabinets were a disaster. Doors were warped, knobs installed crooked and one knob still missing and touch up needed in several areas. These are some examples not everything. I understand all new home builds will need touch up and fixes but a lot of these issues were caused by workers not caring about their workmanship and improper builder supervision. KB has shown their concern over these matters and has made every effort to correct these issues and are still being corrected. They should offer two tone paint and semigloss throughout the house. We felt we got a good price for our home, however it was a lot of effort and still is to get everything corrected. ... More

Be ready ,be patient and flexible

It,s been horrible with these surveys. I feel I fielded out like 20 by now. One every week.. ridiculous.. and If I don’t I have people calling to do so.. thank you but please. Leave alone and let me enjoy my house.

We love our home, especially the upgrades we made! We had two issues, one was with the finance side and not being as upfront as we would hope (apparently that person has been let go since then), second was that we had to wait two weeks past our final inspection to move into the home due to Edison not installing our meter on time. Other than those issues our overall experience with KB was great!
