KB Home Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

Unfortunately, not a pleasant experience.

don't want to share to much to list

Construction team lead by the superintendent was awesome I would give them 10/10. Sales team I would not recommend. One of the workers were not knowledgeable on the models and seemed to just say what we wanted to hear. The Mortgage lending process could have been a lot more efficient. One of the staff would never answer her phone and seemed to be unorganized.

Overall value is good, but minor issues are being found the longer we live in the home.

Stipulate your issues from the start and demand contact at least once a week for updates. Do not stand for getting bullied for using your own lender. I recommend Rocket mortgage. After your deposit with KB, you have 30 days to back out, threaten them that there are other builders waiting for your business.

Construction crew was awesome. Sales staff and loan group was less responsive. Once moved in, we have noticed a lot of small issues that seem to be from rushed work.

Be more involved in building process...

I think that I need a min-course in how to use the Smart features in my home. Also the backyard seems sloppy because there are holes in the sand and it is uneven.

The quality of our new KB Home this go around was mediocre. Our final walk through was a mess and I have called KB several times to fix minor issues inside the home such as holes in the concrete foundation, bad wall patching jobs, and the door trim was not up to par either. Our first KB home we bought 7 years ago was superb but unfortunately this time around it felt like the construction was rushed and messy.

Attention to detail with a new home was not there

We bought another new home and their customer service wasnt nearly as good as KB but their home was built better. wasnt all upgrades. Disappointed in landscape although i know some of it is controlled by the area and water shortage but more trees and color would be nice especially with a corner lot and premium lot

Do not rush. Give them plenty of time.

We have lived in our new KB home for 2 months. We have noticed and continue to notice things that weren’t done correctly or were/are damaged during the construction process. What we do appreciate is the responsiveness of Jodi over at KB. He makes sure that whatever issues arise get resolve in a timely manner.

I was really excited with the completion of my home but upon moving in, I feel the house was cheaply built. You can hear water going through the pipes when the bathroom and toilet is used. Some of the phone and cable wiring wasn't completed they just left it out. I have only one phone and internet port which was in the bedroom kind of ridiculous. The design studio should do a better job explaining upgrades. I would have loved to have higher ceilings and a bigger entry way rather than the standard to make moving furniture and appliances easier. Also main office team do not want to engage you in negotiating how you would want certain aspects of the house done if you have concerns. They just delay and dodge your emails for days. I really wish I had a better experience. But I must say the building supervisors have really nice personality but they are restricted to how much help they can offer you. ... More

First time buying new home and I would not buy from KB Home if knew quality of house is this low. Mediocre built at best.

Do your research before buying a new built from KB Homes. The quality of materials used to build these homes is cheap. So many issues with our new built, what a disappointment.

Been here a little over a month and have had a bunch of issues with the house from electrical to plumbing to paint. Thought I was buying a quality home from a quality builder. Sense of urgency is just not where it should be to get issues resolved. Not too happy.

My experience with kb home we have to look first home and shoap home because model house and shopping house is different . When we purchased house their is every thing simple and we have to upgrade more thing in house .and invest more money

Great experience until you move in and then the great relationship is over and you are left with an email address to get issues resolved.

The quality of the build and finishing work on the home was well below the standards I would expect especially for a half a million dollar house. Multiple issues with the home, some that have taken multiple attempts to fix, and many more smaller issues that at this point I’m just tired of submitting claims. A hinge on the cabinet door in the laundry room keeps coming off, a lot of the door handle throughout the home were placed inside out, the medicine cabinet is crooked and doesn’t stay closed. And these are just the small issues, as of now. Not to mention all the major issues we had to deal with upon move in ... More

Superintendent is just talked and no action. He just talked nice and ask us to give good review. He gave us temporary garage door and the one we suppose to get need to be wait for 14-16months. We are paying mortgage and we don't get what we pay for.

I dont feel like they genuinely care about their costumers. They will ignore most of your concerns during the construction. You will not be compensated for the money and time lost because of their faults. They only care how much profit they can make without using high quality workmanship.

We had great experiences with the sellers in this KB Home neighborhood. They explained things well and were attentive to what we were looking for in a home. They were patient with us as first-time home buyers and they celebrated with us when we were able to pick up our keys. When we did our walk-through, the contractor was very thorough in explaining how things worked, who to call when, and the best practices for the plumbing and electrical. Unfortunately, we do not feel like our home is complete because we have found some mistakes as we have been putting things away. There are a couple of crooked cabinets. The mirrors had to be replaced already. There are crooked light/electrical plug plates. Our garage door has no windows in it but it is supposed to have windows on the top. The shower in the guest bathroom is damaged and cracked. How did these things pass inspection? We still haven't heard when the garage door will be fixed. When should we expect that? It's these small details that have made us skeptical. Attempts to contact KB via telephone have also been difficult. I have tried to call Rich at Home Customer service a couple of times suing 951.445.7596 and he has not returned my call. I also tried to call the customer service number and there is a message that no one is working in the office due to COVID. This is understandable, but are you able to forward calls? We do not believe it should be this difficult to get in touch with someone to address the issues we are finding. In conclusion, initially, we had a great experience purchasing a home from KB but the aftercare is lacking. ... More

Good sales folks, good contacts, help during home finish and move in. Poor followup after move in, not responsive to little home finish issues.

I’m still waiting for issues to be resolved and for item already paid for to be delivered.
