KB Home Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Builder bless non/negotiable in price for faults they did during construction and didn’t want to take any accountability.

While some items weren't immediately noticeable, we have quite a few issues with floor levels, improper installation of fixtures, chunks missing from door frames, loud air conditioner that vibrates bedroom wall despite adding additional insulation, landscape died before move-in, etc. We were supposed to be contacted for a 10 day and 30 day after inspection and never were. We had issues that were basically going to be ignored if we didn't push and are still awaiting fixes.

My only complaints have to do with the quality of the build. I've had trouble and continue to have trouble with the white tile flooring that I had installed. There were red stains all over the house (and there still is some), but I just gave up after the 5th time they sent someone out to clean it. Also, our dishwasher and washer have already flooded the house causing damage to the floorboards. There's patches in the paint on the exterior and paint in some of the outlets inside. Other than that, it's just been minor fixes, but easily prevented issues.

Busted pipe has caused continued water flow in backyard and front.

The upstairs floor squeak due to improper installation. the paint is cheap. the windows don't slide up or down and comes off the bracket.

The appliances and toilets are shoddy, the cheapest that they could put in. Toilets have to be flushed twice, Plumber came out and said it was the cheapest model of toilet. Bad water pressure. Back wall is 6 feet tall outside, but we can see into each others houses. Going to have to pay to have 2 more rows added (after HOA approval). Should of been added by KB Homes, since there is no privacy and considering we had to pay $5,000 more for our lot location. The garage was set up too high and there was a sharp incline, not able to get cars into the garage. That since has been fixed, but should of been done correctly the first time. ... More

Having asthma and allergies to pollen I had in my Sales Contract not to plant any trees or shrubs that produce pollen. Construction supervisor has continually promised o supply me with the plants he had landscaper plant in my front yard months ago. I have continually requested this info to no avail. He keeps saying he’ll request it and forward to me. I need the info to verify they don’t produce pollen, and also to care and maintain the plants. He never follows up on my numerous requests and I’m really frustrated with his non-responsiveness.

One thing I learned is that when you purchase upgrades, what you think you are getting , is not what you expected. I am pretty good at questioning, but in this case I didn’t know what to ask, or that I had to ask. I feel like the design center should be fully upfront and offering to explain what exactly you are spending your hard earned money on. They are all friendly enough and pleasant, but in hindsight I wish they would have been more willing to offer info- some things I am disappointed in after paying so much extra.

Good for equity building.

Had to do 3 walk throughs. When something needed to be fixed, it created other new issues. The person doing the walk through tried to get me to just nod, say yes, and sign off on the house. He got very annoyed when I refused. When other issues arose I dealt with Mark. He was fantastic in getting my concerns taken care of in a timely manner.

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

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.

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.

I have not receive any update on 30 day visit. I have a broken window that has not been fixed. The tree upfront does not have poles to hold it up, when everyone else has it. I have asked for information about HOA and nothing has come back.

Quality of appliances is great! Few things I’d improve for the price paid, paint quality on walls, insulation in walls so that the house is not paper thin.

Make sure you have a realtor when you buy your KB Home. They respect realtors and ignore homeowners. You'll need someone to ensure that KB does the job and someone who can get you discounts on mistakes they make. Also, spend the money on an inspector no matter what the sales people say.

I am not happy with any of the process... noises from plumbing above my office, water settling in the yard, tiny little plants in the front yards, as well as its been 2 months and our sidewalk still has huge cracks with no indication when it will be fixed..the drywall, when the light hits it has wave shadows.....as well as my garage door was so noisy If I hadn't caught some of this it would have just been left with very little quality assurance.

Home was overpriced! A lot of broken promises!

lacking quality of build. no interior insulation - you hear everything from the next rooms , especially from the bathrooms and kitchen. Very sloppy!! You get what you pay for.

Good color schemes

I'm sorry but with the experience i went through, I would not recommend.

Still waiting for 10 day issues and thirty day issues to be taken care of

I am not really pleased with the response of the warranty issues that we’ve had with the house

Issues that were address at the beginning have not been fixed. I get told dates and still no one comes out. Would be nice to at least get an update.

Waiting on meeting and then we'll see
