KB Home Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

Happy with home . Quality or workmanship can improve

Overall experience was good. We felt like the support staff did the best they could even though their responsibilities were stretched with the COVID restrictions and amount of homes being built.

Neighborhood is amazing and home is okay, much better now due to our upgrades. Due to Covid 19 we have several issues in our home that have gone unfixed.

The process was easy

When they show you the model homes the are so perfect. I am not taking about the upgrades, but the finish of paint, cabinets, walls, garage door and landscaping. I have many issues minor and major ones. The staff are amazing and knowledgeable but they are small in number and can't keep up. I have to wait for repair a long time.

Good service

The reason I gave them a 3 was, because we have had issues with leaking pipes, electrical, and craftsmanship. Despite all that, we’ve been happy with the rest of our home, we love it. And the customer service rep assigned to us has been AMAZING! Every single problem we have had, within minutes he has contacted the required parties, and has someone in our home the same day, usually within a couple hours. That has been our best experience with KB homes thus far

Pleasant experience and quick responsiveness to any financial issues.

Pretty much a basic home buying experience. Home designs are good, but the design center has limited choices. Main problem was with KB's lender if choice. They were VERY pushy and cockt, assuming that we would use them and not shop around. They requested unnecessary information for pre-qualification, and were unwilling to provide a secure channel for sending information - the initial loan officer suggested we send confidential financial information to her personal email account. Highly unprofessional. Many other lenders out there with MUCH better customer service.

Quality of home could & should be better for price paid.

my overall experience was good. the team from sales to the the building team always very responsive. The time fame for the entire build was delayed and closing and completion was delayed. Any problems were addressed by Sara and Robert quickly. I surmise some delays were due to Covid. The quality of the building material was builder grade and all upgrades are out of pocket. Kitchen design and panty layout can be improved. Wall installation does not provide noise reduction throughout the home, Lot sizes and spaces of the homes are great. Thanks to Sara, Robert and the entire sales and site supervision. They acted quickly with all concerns. ... More

We still have things need to be done.Even after 4 months

Overall this was a very easy experience.

Because of labor and material shortages, the build deadline was extended; however, once the labor/materials were available there seemed to be a hastiness in getting the home built within KB's timeframe. After the move-in date, several issues were found within the home that had to be addressed. This created inconveniences for the homeowner (me). Although the road to purchase was smooth and the customer support was exemplary it was after the move-in where things are still getting done. Our community still has "substitute" garage doors whereas the new homes under construction already have the garage doors that are part of the home purchase. Perhaps KB should make sure everything in the home build is how it should be and making meeting their build deadline should not be the priority. ... More

Home shopping is a long process, but once you find a place and are committed to a home, and then watch it be build up from the ground up, it’s an amazing feeling knowing you and yours will have a place call HOME, but issues do arise when you move in into a new home, you start to notice appliances are not what you expected, minor paint issues, I now somethings got over looked but once you create a list and got a hold of those in charge of making corrections, that’s the part I dislike…it’s been 2 months and some of my concerns HAVE NOT been met…

The design studio sessions were of great importance and help.

The quality of basic things such as toilets and shower heads, etc. are on the lower end of the price range of such items. Be prepared to pay extra for all upgrades on everything--Best advice is only pay for upgrades in construction (eg--added covered patio, extra bath conversion) that will be difficult to do later or if there is something you see/want that's really important to you--then upgrade the rest of your amenities yourself as often you will pay less for things like cabinet knobs and light fixtures elsewhere.

Great house, great location, wish there was more attention paid to details of craftsmanship

Ontario is good for stay.

Not too bad, a little hiccups here and there which was resolved by some calls.

Make sure you check every little detail. Homes are built with quality but installers cut corners like it’s the thing too do.

Mike was able to reach out to the necessary people and get our issues taken care of to his best ability. He’s a great worker representing kb homes

Need to give more options for the upgrades.

Some of the materials, like the tiles around the front of my house are already chipping/shattering. Seems like either a cheap product or default. Window and sliding glass door not installed properly.

The hoa is a mess. The fee mentioned when buying the house is completely different from the hoa fee that needs to be paid now. It has been processed for two weeks, and there is still no result. Some workers such as the hoa property manager are playing football to shirk responsibility! If you buy a house again, you probably won’t choose KB！
