What Homeowners Have to Say About KB Home

Everything from the sales office with kurt to the house build with chris was smooth and easy.

Some upgrades shouldn't be paid for. It is s desappointment. Already having issues with the backyard, water sitting in and my ceileing lamps falling off. I like my house but you could have done better

We like our home and area. All personnel are friendly and helpful.

Good model plans but quality of materials is average

Do Research

We have great experiences buying this home. The people we talk about our concerns are reliable and have taken their actions fast. The only thing we are wondering is why does our account is being transferred every month to different lending companies . We foound it hard to set up a permanent account to pay our monthly mortgage ... More

They never seem to get the time frame right and each dept did not seem to speak to the other (eg sales, construction, financial). So be flexible because we waited 3 additional months from the original quoted completion date, but it’s what you get to design. So the process sucks but the final product we love. ... More

My buying experience was excellent. Very responsive and always available to answer my many questions. After being here for almost 2 months I notice that there are a lot of things are not up to par. Window that doesn’t lock, window with a very apparent hole in the frame, paint speckles on the floor, area by front door not coated correctly correctly, cover up was attempted with paint instead of fixing it right., baseboard missing in kitchen behind refrigerator, outlets with usb plug are difficult to plug in to but was told that’s just the way they are. Basically I feel there was no attention to detail and don’t think the home was thoroughly inspected before it was turned over to me. ... More

Actually I was not such a good experience because the seller did not place what I had asked for and never put it on. At no time did he contact me, for which I do not recommend it, as for the staff my house was not ready until the same day of closing, due to lack of communication ... More

It's the little things in life that matter most and the finish carpentry was extremely poor. Walls not plumb, messy grout lines, dings & nicks everywhere (interior & exterior). I also need to mention KBH's framing means & methods. KBH doesn't cover the whole exterior shell of their homes in plywood sheathing or board of any kind because their homes have been "engineered" and the sheathing is only needed in "certain locations" to meet the shear strength requirements. So KBH uses 25 to 50% less sheathing per home, saving them a ton of money but not necessarily the consumer. From a business standpoint I get it, but from a consumers standpoint KBH just seems cheap. Another small rub I had was the 24 inch on center framing (in lieu of 16" standard) for interior walls that aren't consider load barrier. Again, this is a cost savings deal for KBH, not the consumer. ... More

It would be helpful for customer service to address issues a bit quicker.

Response to issues by KB is good but response by the subcontractor is not very reliable.

Great experience working with KB!

I have had some issues with the home but the staff has been great at repairing them quickly.

Pleads for ratings of 10 for perfection is predominant but be careful AFTER their surveys. Verbal promises are forgotten and you end up looking dumb for making requests based on non written commitments. A definite shift of attitude begins. I'm hoping I'm wrong. And your follow up appts are always during your working hours-which means lost wages each time you have issues. Make sure to test flush toilets for longtime running water. ... More

Overall good

The home buying process is nerve wrecking. I will admit I was assigned to a pretty hard working team. The home loan team of Moore and Hylton. And any discrepancies with the house Gillespie and Abdul was quick to handle them. So yes I'm happy it's over...... hopefully ... More

Experienced some minor problem in the design phase, but overall, am very happy! Thanks Kelly for all your help. God Bless KB Homes!

Good customer service.

You can trust KB homes.

Great team to work with would have liked more finish options.

Stay on top of the constitution as not all workmen are as skilled

Too pricey for Compton area. Contract with other alarm systems. KPS alarms alarm quality is not the best and other alarm system have more quality in re: customer services and products available. Also it’s ridiculous that KPS even has a 5 year contract. You’re pretty much stuck with them unless you pay out the contract. Pretty much Nicole and dining the consumer before they can even try the alarm system. Completely unsatisfied with the alarm system kB decided to partner with. ... More

When calling the customer service line no one answers or if they do they are not much help. If they didn't have a great superintendent that helps out so much i would have a problem with them not answering. Other then that its a great home.

I don’t like the home owners association. I been trying to paint my fence and there’s too many restrictions and rules
