KB Home Reviews

I went with the one stop shopping with KB and thought that was a great idea and it was up until the end. The mortgage company stinks! They don’t communicate in anyway. I was very nervous with making my first mtg pyt, setting up their online payment and through the whole process they never communicated once. A good thing I kept checking the site then I had to email them to see something wasn’t set up right. I went through every other company (utility) and they were awesome, but not this mtg company. What a sad way to end what was a good experience.

Bike rider paradise. Responsive to requests for missing parts. Floor plan great.

The house was beautiful when finished. There are items in the house that were unfinished and lots of design center issues that soured this experience. Advice: new hires need much better training. Me working in the real estate industry I really was able to see the lack of professionalism and experience and it didn’t make the process great. Wish I had worked with more veteran employees. The Design Center was by far the worse experience of it all. A lot of items were not explained and I missed out on configuring my house the way I would’ve liked. Overall, I’m okay but would rate the entire experience a 4/10 ... More

My home is nice. So far warranty issues are taken care of in a satisfactory manor. But: I live 3 doors down and across the street from the Model Homes. I have Lived in this soon to be nice community and THE Walk IS NOT SHOVELED. Here is the Beauty of My side of the Street not Getting Shoveled. The Snow removal starts at the Model Homes and they will NOT SHOVEL THE HOUSES ACROSE THE STREET FROM THE MODEL HOMES?

You get an ok house for a good price, but be very careful with the builder contractors they will leave a mess and to make them to clean after is very difficult, other than that you get a good place to live for an affordable cost.

The final product is decent but to get there you have to spend a lot of time walking the house and working with the superintendent to get things corrected. It takes multiple times requesting corrections before they happen. We walked the houses around us that were not being checked up on and the quality was pretty poor. As long as you can stay on top of the build, the final product is a good value for the money.

The quality of our new KB Home this go around was mediocre. Our final walk through was a mess and I have called KB several times to fix minor issues inside the home such as holes in the concrete foundation, bad wall patching jobs, and the door trim was not up to par either. Our first KB home we bought 7 years ago was superb but unfortunately this time around it felt like the construction was rushed and messy.

Attention to detail with a new home was not there

On your final walk through make sure everything works. So, there is no hassle for any maintenance issue.

Consider hiring a good home inspector. Pay attention to construction process and contractor workmanship.

Very bad on communication. They almost never get back with you on anything. We closed two months ago an still cant get paint and things fixed that they promised would be done if we closed. They want you in so that they don't have to do any more work.

Lack of knowledge by sales personnel regarding valid issues.

Not so good, uncomfortable experience , slow to response, I won’t buy from the builder any more

Cuando vas a comprar todos son amables, pero luego cuando tienes dudas o consultas ni te responden, y si lo hacen es de mala manera.

Take note of all the mistakes and errors during the construction and supervise as much as possible for they are not going to correct this issues unless brought upon to the supervisor and take pictures as evidence.

Buying a new-build home was more frustrating than expected due to poor workmanship, in-perfection painting, and rushed finishes. While the warranty service has been great and responsive, it’s frustrating that so many repairs were needed in the first place. The unfinished landscaping and ongoing construction noise have also been disappointing. If you’re considering a new build, research the builder thoroughly and be prepared for potential quality issues.

Hire a third party inspector. AC unit behind master bedroom, is noisy (classic 1675).Toilet water level is very low. Openings in parts of the fence, pets can get out of the yard. Light switches throughout the home are at different levels.

Its not so bad experience with KB. The sales, mortgage teams could be better with communication and providing more options on home loans. The design center experience is good. Most of the options we choose are basic and which can be included with the home by default thereby adding more value to the purchase

You need to just follow up with them to be able to know the status on where you at.

5 Different closing dates.Not a good experience.

Good job! Keep up the good work!

We have several ongoing issues in addition to the many, some resolved, experienced. In no particular order: 1) We purchased two ceiling fan presides that were suppose to work off of two wall switches. However, only one switch works and the other is dead (times two). KB electrician blamed us for getting a ceiling fan that he said was not compatible with two switches. That is nonsense as ALL ceiling fans come wired liked the ones we bought. So we paid for something that doesn’t function. 2) We were told that the homes on either side of us and the three behind us would not have the same color scheme. The house directly behind us is identical in color to ours and the one next to that is very similar in color to ours. Not happy with the talk and no enforcement. And it looks stupid with two homes exactly the same color next to each other. Very upset. 3) The sod on the right side of the house as you look at it didn’t take and is dead and looks bad 1 1/2 months in. No effort was made to initially lay the sod on flat ground as the lumps in the sod are everywhere. You should roll over the sod to flatten it and the ground at the time of installation. 4) It has been 1 1/2 months and the coating is coming off the black cabinet handles and you can see silver. That coating is so thin and cheap. 5) The cement has cracked on the sidewalk already. 6) The interior primary bathroom door is difficult to close as it is not aligned properly. 7) The primary bathroom shower drip pan is not centered on the plumbing opening and you can feel the screws from the protective plate with your feet because they are screwed in to nothing. 8) The area to put the modem and router is so incredibly inconvenient. The devices do not fit in the opening and closing the door is difficult. 9) There are chips and holes in many places in the foundation thinset covering. Bugs, moisture, etc., can easily penetrate and get into the foundation. 10) The floor appears to be unlevel in spots as we are finding that we have to adjust chair and furniture legs that we did not have to do in our prior house. Quite frankly, I have another ten issues at least but am tired of typing. And I haven’t mentioned the bad attitude our first builder, Terry, had that really spoiled this whole experience. We are not 100% satisfied and don’t believe that is the KB goal. Sounds nice though huh? ... More

Made me pay my upgrades before house closing at design studio after I was already locked into a contract with an earnest deposit. I think kb could’ve done a better job at making that clear ahead of signing contract. Typically including on my prior kb purchase if your purchase amount is higher than your prequal you come in with the difference at closing not before closing on your home. Also, Has a lot of issues with minor things that were not addressed promptly and still waiting on certain things to be addressed in the home.

KB needs to improve pre contracting briefs for perspective clients concerning the loan process (impacts because of fannie mae and freddie mac requirements). Sub contractors neee to take their time and build a quality product, clean up job sites and no alcohol should be permitted on job sites. Our home had many flaws that required correction prior to closing.

Hard to rank value. There are many things we love about the home but they all came at a price. Construction seems to be solid. Appliances were not installed well. Some big issues going on now with infrastructure in the neighborhood which is unnerving. We will see how it all works out.
