KB Home Reviews in Denver, CO

We have been in our house for about 3 months and have learned the speed with which they build translates into countless misses. And if you don't get them fixed before you close, good luck getting traction afterward. In 3 short months, we already have failing caulk (they don't fix caulk) an upgraded railing that has a large gap underneath (they won't fix it) and has had to be refinished once and still doesn't look good, subfloor glue all throughout my basement floor that they never removed, crooked drawers in the kitchen, numerous paint mismatches from the numerous "touch ups"that have occurred, and many more. Don't sign until you are satisfied! ... More

Not the best not the worst. As long as you don’t expect the truth about the timing of your home from anyone including VPs you should be fine. Process was seamless until final walkthrough when nothing was done right. Spent next 3 months with people in and out of the home because of their incompetence to get it right the first time. Just hoping the foundation is good

there was a distinct lack of disclosure regarding the exterior of the home. using kb mortgage was a very good experience.

Bad experience from the start. We were vastly misled from the beginning on when the house would be built. The sales team was difficult to get a hold of for any updates. There were things we were told during the sales pitch that turned out to be not true (i.e. the siding and roof was covered by the HOA, when groundbreaking and completion was... this was especially frustrating as we had an expiring lease and the house ended up being 3 months late). I will say once we got their leadership team involved, they did everything they could to resolve our issues. That is the only thing saving them from a 1 star review. ... More

The house looks good on the surface, however there were more and more issues cropping up after moving in. We are sitting here months after move in with holes in walls behind appliances, mice getting in from poor drywall in garage, sinks with stoppers that don't work, nails in walls, and poor out door railing that is so rough you cant run your hand up or down it with out getting a splinter. None of these issues seem to be getting resolved any time soon either since their customer service is slow and unresponsive.

Warranty group is has responded slowly or not at all to post closing issues

Stressful, arduous experience building a new home with KB - sub par contractors - sub par Project Managers who didn’t know how to manage a job and the result is a sub par home which I will have to already update and renovate. What should have been an exciting time in my life turned out to be anything but with me having to micro-manage them and beg for the job to be done right - mistake after mistake cost valuable time - took 15 months to get into the house.

The standards are far below what they should be for this price point. I felt like I had to oversee construction to get anything close to what it should be and still have quality issues that will never be right.

Disappointed with house purchase.experience & explanations of what was included.

We liked the design of the house, but had many issues during build and completion of the home. The completion date was more than 2 months longer than the latest "finish" date....a problem when moving from out of state, selling a home, and arranging for movers. The house was not finished at the time of the closing, and the cleanliness of the home was unacceptable. The trades' workmanship was sub-standard and sloppy. We have been living in the house for about 2 months and we still have repair people coming in to properly finish the house. It was a very poor building experience for us.

Upgraded appliance not included,

Communication is horrible. Still waiting on when out front landscaping is going to be finished. We have been in for 2 months and no word on when they will get to it. We paid to have our house interior painted and I could have painted it better myself. We were told we may be too picky that they painting was fine even though it looked horrible. We were treated by our superintendent like we were idiots and he thought he knew everything and always had an excuse as to why something was the way it was. We were told it’s not a custom house about 2” times when we asked for something to be fixed like the crappy baseboard we paid for that was crooked to the naked eye. Overall not very satisfied to have purchased a $500000 home and treated like we were second class citizens ... More

KB had a lot of supply chain and labor problems as did all builders. So they rushed the inspection process to get to closing and get my money. After that it has been like pulling teeth to get them to finish the items that they PROMISED to take care of. Now that winter has set in I expect most items will not be addressed until spring. In retrospect, I would recommend have your own inspector submit a report before closing and to not close until the items are addressed. Don't count on KB to fix things after you close. And they continually harassed me top submit this review, so here it is.

Worst home buying experience ever. We will never buy a KB home again.

Quality of workmanship & materials is the worst. All the money spend on upgrade are absolute waste of money and time. Build quality is so poor in comparison to other builders, are horrible. My first experience with KB Home was worst, so I will never buy in future and will not recommend any one to buy from KB Homes.

It’s been almost two months and things are still not completed. This was not a good experience, I really have nothing. Ice to day so I won’t say anything.

I still have issues in my home that have gone unresolved. Warranty refuses to answer my calls after complaining about a shower that continues to spew water out of my walk in shower because of poor quality craftsmanship. They said they fixed it but only said that just so they can buy more time and let the Warranty run out so they don't have to deal with my home. Beware when buying from this builder you might also find unwanted things in your basement bedroom should you decide to finish you basement with KB homes.

I’ve had a leaking roof in my starlight kb home in the Central Park area for 5 weeks!! KB has sent the same roofer out three times and they have still not fixed my roof. It actually seems to be getting worse. I’ve also had my dishwasher broken, my AC not working. I have a hole in my siding and holes in the flashing of my outside fireplace that let mice get into my walls, and they scratch behind my daughters headboard in her bedroom. Nobody’s come out to seal the hole or the flashing or make sure that the mice are out of my walls. I’ve had a pond in my front yard from the neighbors sump pump, constantly running and leaking into my yard. I’ve had a leak in my indoor plumbing that went into the basement and I had drywall damage. All of the weatherstripping and window seals on my windows are falling off. The refrigerator molding is torn, and I have no power in my office or guestroom and haven’t for over a month. so, I’m Not exactly satisfied. And these are just the big things. ... More

Unfortunately, what was supposed to be an enjoyable experience turned out to be far from it. Due to a changing home sales market in June/July we struggled to get our (previous) home under contract. KB didn't care. Not only did they not want to work with us to still close on our new home, they literally gave us an ultimatum. On July 19th, we received an email which read; "Get your home under contract by Saturday, July 23 or we will consider you in breach of contract and sell them home to another buyer. If we are able to sell the home before August 30, we will return your earnest money. If not, you will forfeit the money." It's important to note that our close date wasn't until August 10. After doing some research we learned that this happened because they wanted to get the home off their books prior to their next quarterly earnings report which was, by no coincidence, one day after their ultimatum deadline. Obviously, this is not what a customer wants to be told, and things got worse before they got better. As for the quality of workmanship, we've had 3 separate leaks in our furnace system over the last 2 months. Each time we had water puddled on the basement floor. We've been told that the leaks are fixed and "shouldn't have any more." We've been here 3 months and our "30-day punch list" has about half the things done. We were told that some won't be done until the 10-month punch list. While not all of these problems are directly KB's fault, it's the fault of their subcontracted trades workers. We've seen with our own eyes that some of them do not care about the end product. They just want to get the job "done" and get paid. In fairness, I will again say that some of these problems are not directly caused by KB. However, they've been in business long enough to know that you get out what you put in. Since they continue to hire people with poor to no work ethic, in the end, it is in fact their fault. ... More

I am a second time KB homeowner. This experience has been HORRIBLE. I have encountered multiple issues that were pointed out several weeks prior to closing. The issues pointed out, poor craftsmanship, wrong appliances installed, defective carpet installation, wrong size vanity for second bathroom, drywall application and upgraded painting application were all horrendous. I purchased a new home that should have the upgrades and appropriate workmanship I paid for. This is the biggest purchase I have ever made and has resulted in the biggest disappointment.

Many unfinish items, No INSPECTIONS DONE BY KB PM I had to found all issues, still unsolved

2 months after moving in and many items still not resolved.

It's been almost two month I have no dryer the replacement they brought doesn't work. The hot water was working fine when we moved inn and it completely stopped working i was told they missed a part and they will fix it. It is still not fixed. I am now told to move out and get a hotel. All this with two kids. I am not even adding a whole wrong instalation of all the bars that is still not fixed and a shower glass not in place.....to say the least I didn't expect this from KB homes.

We closed on our house over 60 days ago and you still have not completed building it. Issues pointed out to the team months before we closed are still not resolved. Management lies and makes promises they have no intention of following through with.

There is a consistent lack of quality in both the materials used and the workmanship that went into the construction of this house . And trying to get the most basic items fixed has been a disaster. Again, they have over promised and under delivered.
