KB Home Reviews in Houston, TX

This has been the worst experience! As a first time home buyer, I would have never expected to have gone through such poor construction and customer service as I’ve experienced. I definitely don’t feel I’ve received the value of a $300,000 home. We’ve had nothing but one complication after another and it all started within the first 24 hours of moving in when we had a small flood in our laundry room because a pipe was disconnected. Then after that they discovered another one disconnected in the main sewer drain. In total my yard was dug up three times in three weeks to fix problems that should have been caught during inspections. I’ve had electrical issues, drainage, incomplete tile issues, paint issues, sink holes, and the list goes on and on. I don’t feel my foundation is safe! KB Homes took away all the joy of my first home purchase. I’ve reached out several times for someone at corporate to contact me. Why me? Why my house? Why so many issues? I still have so many problems. The work is so sloppy! Just devastating! ... More

Look over very carefully before closing. We closed and then noticed a lot of problems dirty dirty wall garage floor concrete problems and grout all over the walls and was told the garage didn’t matter was not considered important to them

Had a great experience with KB homes

Although my experience started out a little rocky with the amount of delays such as, the lumber not being ordered in the time frame during building, or the amount of time (2 months) it took to receive a part needed for the HVAC, or the lack of knowledge of the process stages from my sales agent. Towards the end I escalated my concerns and issues to upper management and everything was resolved timely and to my satisfaction. I would recommend KB to other buyers but the buyer would definitely have to remain on top of things other wise it will fall between the cracks.

Overall, I'm happy with the home itself and have no regrets. It's not the *highest quality* home out there, but, for what it cost, I can't complain too much. That's not to say that the quality is abysmal -- it's a very decent home that looks and feels good and is about worth what I paid. However, the closing process was awful. To be clear, the KB Team responsible for the building and completion of the home was great: I was given timely and accurate updates and the home itself was completed in time to meet a potential close date that would have worked well with my schedule. Unfortunately, it seems that the internal communication within the KB team is nonexistent: The part of the KB Team that was responsible for making sure that everything was in place for the clear-to-close was unaware of the status of the build and the appraisal never happened. I ended up getting a text the day before we were originally supposed to close saying that we cannot close the next day. The next two weeks involved back-and-forth texting and emailing, every day, trying to determine which day we should plan to close, only to be told "we don't know." It was a logistical nightmare. Finally, on the second to last possible day that I was available before being out of town for a week, I receive an email letting me know that the appraisal arrived and that we're clear to close. The rest of that day was a scramble to get out of work early and make it to the title company. I'm in my home now and the house is wonderful and the neighborhood is great, but the KB Team needs to get it together. ... More

Working with Chase was a great experience. He made sure any issues were taken care of promptly and was on top of things

Good job! J.T., Reem and Brenda !!

As a first time homebuyer, I have a lot of questions and concern, Michael, Tom and Julio are very patient and help me get through everything. I had a wonderful experience with KB Home. It was smooth all the way through, and I love my new house, the house is very well build, the KB Home team was very attentive, helpful and kind. They alway answer my questions and concern right away. Highly recommend KB Home.

The team at KB Homes including my salesman, Frederick Plummer, to the building supervisor, Mike Siegel, were interested in my concerns and quickly responded and answered my questions.

It was not a great experience for the first time

Everyone was great super sweet and knowledgeable

Great new home! Service is top of the line

KB Home's construction manager always kept me posted on any progress on a weekly basis. He responded my requests in a prompt and professional manner, and, undoubtedly, his high-quality work is in accordance with KB Home's high standards. My whole experience with KB Home was very smooth and comfortable!

The experience was scary but we had a great team that helped us.

Sales and construction staff were friendly courteous and very knowledgeable. We were especially pleased with the final walk-through and resolution of any minor issues.

It was a wonderful experience working with KB Home.

They was ok ,but could do better on the quality of their yards and construction workers work. But overall I give them a 3

All the employees that were connected to KB Homes were most helpful and had a way of making you feel that your home being done right was very important to them. That our satisfaction with the whole buying experience and now the living experience in the home is top rate. We are extremely satisfied with the home and would highly recommend KB Homes to potential buyers.

Rough start but things got better.

In the beginning there were some non-communication issues with the financial part and construction (toward the end) but that was remedied. Everyone was pleasant during the process just a few areas that need improvement. There were some minor cosmetic issues with the house as far as workmanship (a little disappointing) My warranty rep Kyle has been great getting everything I need fixed. He stays in contact with me weekly to make sure all my concerns with the house are getting done. Thus making me a happy customer.

Enjoyed the hold buying experience

Ensure u communicate with KB Home and builder. Other than experience was great.

Too many unnecessary delays that prolonged the building process.

Overall it was a good experience

I had a great experience with the building team during the construction process. We have had a meeting every week to follow every detail
