Poor performance

Sales guy was very thoughtful and helpful all the time by the way has been the only one that threat us with respect. Contractors and superintendent make us feel like we're not paying for a quality home and what we're getting is what we got very irresponsible at the time to give us a answer or make and appoinent at this time we still waiting for repairs from our first walktrough and we still without cabinet doors has been a challenge with all our founding in the first walktrough and still are there waiting that someone will show up and threat us with respect and care. We use to love KBH ...

We love our home and the details that went into it. My only issue is that the builder promised to get us paint samples, and never brought them. He promised to fix out broken irrigation and that never happened, my husband ended up fixing it because it was wasting water be running 24 hr /day.

Poor quality / Workmanship / Responsiveness

WoW, the home build quality is as low as it can get. Exemplifies that the company is having severe trouble engaging skilled workers compared to its competitors. Every. corner of the house displays extremely poor workmanship (walls, ceilings, paint, baseboards, doors etc.). I am hoping that the framing, electrical work, plumbing is ok). Will only find out after some time elapses. The biggest culprit though is poor responsiveness to get the issues addressed by the construction operations. They are busy building homes and then closing them as soon as possible to get money without any sincere ...

house delivered unfinished

  • Rigoberto S.

The house was not ready at the time of delivery, it was even closed two months ago and the house still needs things to fix, the bathroom window, drywall, cabinets with damage, which are supposed to be new and they went and patched it up. I think that when you buy something new it is new and not patched up since I paid for a completely new house It's been two months since I moved and it hasn't been 100% complete I only had 1 walk and 1 day before closing I think it is disrespectful to the buyer that we pay for good quality and service which has not been provided to me.

Buyer Beware

This is my second home that I have purchased with KB. The first home that I purchased was in Sacramento, CA. We had some build issues but most of them were resolved in a timely matter. We moved into our new home on 10/7. We first started with a close date that was changed at the last minute. Our rate was already locked in for 10/7 so we had no choice but to close. Trusting the superintendent, we thought majority of the issues would be resolved. We got a 3rd party inspection prior to close which uncovered even more issues. The superintendent lead us to believe that the issues would be resolved ...

Make sure your home is perfect before you move in. Getting items fixed after is difficult

My home took 14 months to "complete". I'm STILL missing a doorknob, but of the knobs I do have, 3 have randomly fallen off. The ENTIRE upstairs creaks incesantly. There is a crack in my ceiling, 2 doors don't close completely, water pools in the backyard, porch is missing bricks, roof has issues, siding, large space between the cabinet and wall, no caulking in areas, flooring is cut poorly (it doesn't even meet the wall in some areas). In the amount of time it took to complete this house, its shameful to have so many issues. But I digress... I'm actually really sad about thinking about ...

Disappointed.

While the overall homebuying experience was not terrible, the delivery delays were incredibly frustrating. The most disappointing piece is some of the delays were avoidable but the builders poor communication and honesty was not transparent. The attention to detail in the home was lacking. Finishing details and QC before items were installed and permanently affixed is lacking. Care of craftsmanship missing. For the cost of the home, my expectations were much higher and it's obvious that things were done in a rush, which is frustrating because now I'm the one left to deal with the warranty ...
