KB Home Reviews in Austin, TX

Several missed deadlines to deliver the house. Overall okay experience with KB home.

Overall My experience was Good from beginning to End.

I was happy to have one .

Our experience with KB definitely had its highs and lows. In the beginning of the build there was a bit of a foul taste and when considering communication from the studio the thought to pull out crossed our minds several times. It's really unfortunate the staff in the studio was not on point with descriptions and lacked in depth knowledge of options; their lacking lead to issues with construction and our overall satisfaction. We were fortunate enough to have a realtor, Shae Nickerson, that operated with what we wanted in mind from day one, up to and past closing. We were also blessed to be assigned Phil as our construction supervisor who honestly turned our experience all the was around and increased the star ratings. Phil was phenomenal, patient, responsive, responsible, open minded, diligent, thorough, thoughtful and hands down the best person to see our build to completion and then some; Phil definitely earned his kudos and 5 stars for responsiveness. We are happy with our home and overall happy with the final experiences. ... More

Overall the experience was good and we would build again with KB. The finish line to closing was confusing and unnecessarily stressful and some things in the house aren't holding up like they should, like faucets and we haven't even paid our first mortgage. While they have been responsive, the means to fix the problems are a little inconvenient.

Buying experience could definitely be better. We went with another lender and got the vibe KB wanted us to choose their lender.

It was good considering it being our first time buying.

We love the value of the home but that can come with a price by some corners being cut. Then when you request help in fixing, silence!

KB Homes is solid on quality, design and build options. The issue they fall down on is the lack of follow through on promises made during construction. Big on promises, small on delivery. Constant squeaky wheel to get things done and completed; no modifications can be made - period. Constantly ask to fill out a 5 star review. You earn what you get, not what you want

We love our home and the neighbourhood. However, I do feel that some finishings and quality of the materials could have been better. I must say that I had to be on top of the construction throughout the whole process requesting improvements and that was a little annoying. Some details like fence materials and landscaping should be improved. Ok the other hand, the variety of upgrade options made us feel we could give our house a special touch.

As the title says.

Sales, Design Center, Contractors- A+++++++++ KB's Loan Process and Underwriters F++++ We were not first time buyers , good credit, work history and payment history. Not a risk yet we felt like we were being interrogated by the FBI. Customer unfriendly.

The Lid on the water meter is broken and it has not fixed yet since Jan 13th. Everyone is aware of it not sure what is causing the delay.

Overall, we were satisfied with our purchase

response time to fix any issues is slow

I had the plumbers miss the hot water pipe to my washer machine and after a week of moving in, my daughters closet flooded. I was miserable and I started hating my house so much. Everything was fixed a week and a half later. It was a very stressful experience. I’m slowly starting to love my house again since that has been repaired.

We’ve had some issues with walls not being square, and trim finishes and painting subpar. Also we have reached out to our warranty representative without response.

Ask about prices dropping for homes being sold around you . They will not tell you if the prices had dropped .

It’s been great having our 1st new home. We did have a few construction concerns at first but KB responded to a survey that I completed and addressed the big issues and for that we are happy.

From start to finish it was a pleasent experience. I would suggest KB homes to use better quality products to compete with other builders.

The only issue I'm having is the delay in responding to my issues, concerns with warranty dept.

kB homes at all satisfaction but some issue are not solved

Construction work & material is very unacceptable. Wall cracks within one month. Nail inside carpet is too bad for resident's safety

The experience overall was good, there were some issues with the home after it was built. One of the big ones was the home being properly sealed.

Slow service, house was not fully ready at moving. Still no responses.
