KB Home Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Nothing to say about anything

The have been several issues with the home that needed to be addressed. After multiple phone calls and an appointed date to get issues resolved, the are still repairs that need to be made and not looked into. We were assured all of our concerns would be addressed and corrected in one visit. That was not truthful.

All I can say is, have your builder fix everything before closing, after closing the trades are slow to respond. Holding up closing is the only way to hold the builder accountable for the repairs. After closing you are a low priority, they want the other houses to be built as fast as possible.

Trisha and Ed were amazing to work with. After we moved in is when we noticed craftsmanship issues and just the overall quality of work is not what I would say meets standards. We started to get issues fixed then that halted and we haven't heard back from anyone. The person who did our walk through said since it's after 30 days he can no longer help us and we needed to continue the process with Brandi, who has yet to return our call. Needless to say the sales office is amazing but the rest has fallen short.

Although the overall experience of purchasing our first home with KB homes has been pretty good dealing with sales agents and the loan officers, after move in, we have come to realize the quality of work is not great. We have had issues (mainly cosmetic) , but also issues with insulation, a dented stove upon move in, and some plumbing issues. We have been told countless times that contractors were coming out on a certain date and time to fix these issues, and after moving things around to ensure we’re home, no one has come. Hoping to get these resolved soon as it has now been over a month. Hoping that KB can hire more quality contractors in the future as they are not making the brand look good compared to other builders in the valley. ... More

We began the new build process in May of 2022. In order to purchase the home we had to sell the existing home as we were told they only wanted owner occupancy which was not true. It took over 14 months for the completion. They gave us the closing date but the home was not ready and it delayed us an additional 2 weeks. After move in, we found things that needed to be addressed; however nothing has been done and we are still waiting.

KB has delivered greatly but the contractors they use seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel

A less than great rating on quality and trustworthiness. I do commend the sales associate, construction supervisors for addressing all concerns immediately upon communication to them. Not complimentary of the subcontractor's used to build the home. Several major items missed that should have been completed upon build up of the home.

Hopefully it won't take other buyers as long to have their home finished.

A whole lot hasn’t been done and haven’t gotten a response, house wasn’t finished when I moved in and every time I ask when something will be done I don’t get a definitive answer.

Sales did not mention the home was being built in a flood zone. Although it would be changed months later it was an issue at closing. KB does minimum standards ex: your block wall will look unfinished as a row will not be finished. Talk about looking goofy. They don’t put down weed control so your yard will have weeds pop up shortly after you move in. Contract work goes without inspection being down. There is trash laying around perimeter where contractors finished a project but cleanup has not been completed. Warped studs used in construction of house. Contractors hitting the wall so hard in attempt to straighten it knocked nails out of the wall on other side and damaged the wall. Regional supervisor is very good with response but unfavorable contractors have kept me at the house far too long as they do t know what they’re doing so rescheduling seems to never end. I’ve had part of the roof removed and put back on to do repairs to facia boards. Had a contractor tell me he made superintendent on the job aware of faulty work and that warning was ignored. Guess what: I found it and it was taken care of. It should never have been there for me to find in the first place. Only makes you wonder what else is there for me to find. Oh-almost forgot- my house has been repainted 3 times. A fourth appears to be needed. I would love to have contact with a KB executive and show them this house and lack of quality which now appears to be standard. I’ve been in my home for 6 weeks and have not been able to do things I need because of constant repair work being done-won’t bring in furniture until the dust settles. ... More

Items on my home were not fixed in a timely manner and are still open

Workmanship not up to par, shoddy finish.

Everyone here is friendly and pleasant.. Terry has been responsive, and has tried to help. However some issues are still unresolved. Eric told me to wait 10 months and everything would get taken care of then. Joe came over and looked at te things that needed addressed and gave me an appointment over a month away.

KB uses the cheapest sub contractors possible and it clearly shows in their workmanship. KB employees will try their best to make best of a situation but the work actually being completed during construction is horrendous.

The experience was not what we expected from new homes builders.

The beginning process was very good. They answered all my questions and kept me Posted along the way. However, I decided to go with KB’s finance department and it was the worse experience ever. Just one month before closing, they decided to not approve me after all and the agent who was handling my loan lied about the reasons why all of a sudden didn’t qualify. I then had to go with a different lender. Serious integrity issues. It was a complete nightmare dealing with KB in general. It’s been three months since I’ve moved in and the house still hasn’t been completely finished because it wasn’t even ready until after the closing date given. ... More

We did our first walk through and we found some things ( scratch tub, wire sticking out of stucco, roof tile missing nails, dead plants and some texture and painting issues). Also the superintendent showed up 30 min late. He said that he would add trim in the garage for being late. A week later was our closing date and it rain 2 days during that week. We had another walk through and the only thin was fixed was the paint and texture issues. He said the they can fix the issues while we are living their. I did not want to slow anything down so I said okay. It took them 2 weeks after I said something again to fix the issues the only thing they did was fixed the tub. Now almost 2 months later the super called me and ask how everything is doing. I told he that our plants still need to be replaced, fix the roof, stucco, 2 doors need fixed ( 1 does not latch and the other does not closed), we saw a hole in the bottom of the cabinet in the bathroom, and I put a new faucet in the kitchen and it looks like it had some water damage on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. He told me he would schedule me for the nexted friday and nobody called me and nobody showed. ... More

The process was exhausting. Although everyone had excellent personalities and reached out, there was a comedy (and by comedy I mean incredibly Frustrating & unprofessional) of errors that gave us anxiety, stress & ended up costing us money due to delay. Although the home is beautiful now that it's complete, I would find it difficult to provide a recommendation in the future.

KB is quick to force you into the new home before it's ready, then takes forever to resolve issues under warranty. We wait weeks for resolution, as things get pushed back or no one shows up for scheduled repair visits. Extremely dissatisfied with KB currently.

The build and workmanship is awful. Since we moved to our new house, people from different companies are in and out from our home to do repairs. I guess, i should have taken a house from Lennar!

Poor quality and upgrades are way expensive.

The loan process was a joke! The loan person, Tammy, came up with a loan she wanted for me which was not the loan I requested so now I have to live with an incorrect loan until I can refinance (at my expense) so I can lower my monthly payment so I can hopefully afford the loan I was expecting! I never received a thorough walkthrough or final walk through. The construction manager failed on that end. Lots of problems in the home which were uplinked to management, some were handled and some still have not been. William in the sales office has kindly checked in often to make sure I am receiving proper service. Candy also has stepped in to make sure I am receiving the repairs I have requested although I haven’t heard back from her after she requested 2 weeks ago for a follow up . New problems are popping up and I’m not sure about reporting them as I feel I’m not taken seriously or listened to like other home owners/buyers. ... More

I AM DISAPPOINT WITH THE QUALITY
