KB Home Reviews

Pumping out too many homes too quickly leads to poor quality work. Would not recommend Kb home

Please do your research before purchasing any home, not just KB, but any home. Check reviews online and also check Better Business Bureau (BBB). I wish I would have done more research before purchasing my Sunnyside Estate home.

I still waiting for the part replace to be fix also the construction next door just brought lots of dirt and mud in from on my driveway and no one seen to clean that out. According to the city that is an environmental problem having so much dirt with no erosion control.

Justan made promises to get what he wanted ( a good review) and then never did anything, never heard from him since.

Supposed to have a 1 year warranty on issues but there is no point of contact, the buying experience was horrible and they locked me into not using a realtor. The floors are warped in several homes in this community, the irrigation and land sloping is not bad. Constant issues, I wish KB just followed through with their promises.

Once you sign the purchase agreement get ready for delays, broken promises and costly mistakes that will most likely delay your closing. We have been in our home a month and a half, had to leave for 5 days for them to do the repair work to the house at the end of October and still have not received reimbursement as promised. Their vendors do NOT wear masks so beware of that if you are at high risk for COVID. Our solar is still not set up and the HOA rep does not respond for weeks at a time.

No mitered corners on baseboards. Wallboard doesn’t meet baseboard in the garage. 1” gap all around. Third island counter replaced.

Customer service has done a poor job on fixing a simple landscaping that I have had from the moment I moved into my new house. The company that KB does their landscaping with has damaged some of my property and has failed continuously to resolve a simple issue. I am going on two months in living in my new house and have yet to fully enjoy my yard. My experience in purchasing my first house has been stressful and disappointing.

I still have issues in my home that have gone unresolved. Warranty refuses to answer my calls after complaining about a shower that continues to spew water out of my walk in shower because of poor quality craftsmanship. They said they fixed it but only said that just so they can buy more time and let the Warranty run out so they don't have to deal with my home. Beware when buying from this builder you might also find unwanted things in your basement bedroom should you decide to finish you basement with KB homes.

Less than 1/2 optimal

We had many items on our list from the walkthrough that needed to be addressed. Some minor and some major flaws. 6 weeks later nothing done or committed to being fixed. Spent $$$ on upgrades. Upgraded wood floors have defective boards, whitish color where stain is missing, many scratches and holes. Upgraded cabinets, inconsistent stain. whitish stain on several doors, scratches and doors falling off their hinges. I have personally fixed many items on our "to do list" The customer service people and sales people are all very nice and assure me they will fix issues. But Douglas County came off Stay at Home quarantine May 1st and I cannot get anything scheduled. The tell me no one will come inside to do repairs. They promised they would get all outside issues fixed, but not much done in last 3 weeks. I wish I could rate them higher on being trustworthy but I am afraid some items will never be fixed. We thought we were being diligent working with construction foreman during construction . My feeling is upper management is more concerned with closing homes, getting them off their books and making corporate quarterly projection than delivering a quality home. ... More

Disappointed with KB home - I get discriminators against and not valued as a third time home buyer.

From the beginning of our home buying experience we’ve been misled, misinformed, inconvenienced and shown that customers and customer satisfaction is not a priority for KB homes. From random pricing changes and poor quality work to failure to communicate and overall difficulty to do business with, with the exception of the follow up and reliability of Mike, the super intendant, building and purchasing with KB is a grueling and terrible experience. I would not recommend building or purchasing from KB to anyone.

We have had so many issues after moving in with things that were not done correctly and are very disappointed with the unresponsiveness and unresolved issues. The workers have come to our house on four different occasions due to issues with the countertop and it is still not resolved. We have taken off work numerous times already and are extremely disappointed. We had such a great experience with the sales person as well as all the meetings prior to moving in that we thought it would continue.

Sloppy

We have made several complaints, we were told certain things before buying and now those things are not true. We have had not one thing done with quality in the home, have had issues with door hinges coming off, windows with scratches on them, broken doors, chipped tile, broken and chipped cabinets, flaws in our counter tops, issues with plumbing, poor craftsmanship of walls, power sockets, trim, tile in bathrooms, sprinklers on wrong property, holes in our driveway, dents in cabinets and front door and roof, uneven work done, the stone on the front of house looks sloppy. And now to be having to deal with all of this and taking time off work to have contractors come back to fix things that should have been done right the first time is unacceptable. We are regretting buying this home due to its poor quality and lack of response from management. We have been in the home for 2 months and still have several issues that we are waiting to be addressed. Would never recommend anyone to buy from KB. ... More

Before closing, KB was unable to get trades to finish or repair poor workmanship. Closing was delayed due to unfinished and poor workmanship. KB drywall & concrete contractors produce deplorable work. The interior walls were not sanded prior to paint and orange-peel was unsuccessfully used to attempt to mask workmanship defects. After closing: Most trades are slow to respond to warranty issues. KB super does not follow up with contractors or homeowner on repair/rework status. Two months have passed and several warranty items have not been addressed. Specifically: Electrical defects in outlets, missing light fixtures, french door alignment/adjustment, shower doors in both bathrooms need replaced (was told this would be upgraded August 2nd with no response to date), paint touch-up after drywall work. We get lip service from KB representatives when we elevate issues. We are told things will happen or that they are working on a resolution, but then have no communication for weeks, only to find that nothing has been done to fix issues. Leaks in tile grout are now causing damage to interior walls. In summary, the finish work on the house is terrible and KB home supers will not follow-up without my constant reminder. At this point I will neither purchase nor endorse the purchase of KB Home. ... More

bad quality of the painting and kitchen

Not happy with the home and quality

Not very good customer service

Expecting a wonderful home building experience but had major issues with sales staff and construction. Construction quality was substandard from the framers to the finishers. Walls are not square. Everything was done half way right. Had to stay on top of them everything step of the way and we still had issues. Poor communication from sales staff and construction manager. Great experience with KB Mortgage and Design Center staff. We love the floor plan and the location but so disappointed in construction experience.

KB has a reputation of poor workmanship. No surprise this is what we bought.

There are so many things that were overlooked, I wish that I’d had done better research into all the complaints with kB home before.

Sales staff (Theresa), GC (Glendon, Oz), warranty (Jaime)and design center (Jenna) personnel were great, responsive and awesome to work with so our scores don’t reflect on them in anyway. Current issues or qestions are dealt with quickly. Issues brought up to higher personnel during build were never corrected or solutions were never offer so we were stuck what we got. The renderings did not match our final product because that’s all we could go off of. The materials (stone, paint and elevation)were altered and not addressed with us on how it would “really” look. VP didn’t want to correct an exterior we didn’t like or select, or even offer another solution to any of our concerns or discrepancies, “sucks to be you” outcome. Poor customer service on her part and almost ruined our entire experience and considered very hard to pull out completely. ... More

Worse loan experience for 7 months
