KB Home Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

From day one with Tim, thru multiple meetings with Eric, who assisted us beyond anything we could have asked for to Terry with the build and meetings, we couldn't have asked for anything better!

Our experience has been a nightmare. There is not enough room in this space to properly explain all of the problems we've incurred. Pushing sales people, uncooperative staff, mismanaged build, delays, delays, delays, inspections not passed, poor trades work, very poor and upon moving in after two months work still needs to be completed. Newest development is finding possible mold in our attic and having to WAIT for the warranty department to get back with us. In the meantime, we are living in a house that may or may not be safe to live in. I will guarantee you that no one at KB Homes lives in one of the houses they've built because they make enough money to buy something with quality and good workmanship. KB Homes has sent me 10 emails asking me to complete this survey and also numerous texts asking the same. Feels a bit like harassment. KB Homes wants us to have patience and understanding while we wait for their warranty department to get back with us. That is long gone now. This review is more of a warning to those considering buying a home from KB Homes....RUN!!! ... More

We have several ongoing issues in addition to the many, some resolved, experienced. In no particular order: 1) We purchased two ceiling fan presides that were suppose to work off of two wall switches. However, only one switch works and the other is dead (times two). KB electrician blamed us for getting a ceiling fan that he said was not compatible with two switches. That is nonsense as ALL ceiling fans come wired liked the ones we bought. So we paid for something that doesn’t function. 2) We were told that the homes on either side of us and the three behind us would not have the same color scheme. The house directly behind us is identical in color to ours and the one next to that is very similar in color to ours. Not happy with the talk and no enforcement. And it looks stupid with two homes exactly the same color next to each other. Very upset. 3) The sod on the right side of the house as you look at it didn’t take and is dead and looks bad 1 1/2 months in. No effort was made to initially lay the sod on flat ground as the lumps in the sod are everywhere. You should roll over the sod to flatten it and the ground at the time of installation. 4) It has been 1 1/2 months and the coating is coming off the black cabinet handles and you can see silver. That coating is so thin and cheap. 5) The cement has cracked on the sidewalk already. 6) The interior primary bathroom door is difficult to close as it is not aligned properly. 7) The primary bathroom shower drip pan is not centered on the plumbing opening and you can feel the screws from the protective plate with your feet because they are screwed in to nothing. 8) The area to put the modem and router is so incredibly inconvenient. The devices do not fit in the opening and closing the door is difficult. 9) There are chips and holes in many places in the foundation thinset covering. Bugs, moisture, etc., can easily penetrate and get into the foundation. 10) The floor appears to be unlevel in spots as we are finding that we have to adjust chair and furniture legs that we did not have to do in our prior house. Quite frankly, I have another ten issues at least but am tired of typing. And I haven’t mentioned the bad attitude our first builder, Terry, had that really spoiled this whole experience. We are not 100% satisfied and don’t believe that is the KB goal. Sounds nice though huh? ... More

The place is great and KB home is willing to help in any situation. Thank you for being so kind! Love this place.

Had an amazing home buying experience with the entire KB crew. From the sale, to builders to financial folks, everyone was amazing and would absolutely recommend!

Everything has been great so far however we’ve been promised a pool by Memorial Day which takes 8 months start to finish. Upon buying around July for closing in August they were suppose to be breaking ground. Nothing had been even remotely close to breaking ground and we’ve been provided no update in site or no transparency about it. The pool community was a huge drive for why we chose this development with three children.

Hard to rank value. There are many things we love about the home but they all came at a price. Construction seems to be solid. Appliances were not installed well. Some big issues going on now with infrastructure in the neighborhood which is unnerving. We will see how it all works out.

The selling agent and the construction supervisor were great. That being said, they are no longer at Birchwood Grove. Turnover is not a good thing to have when dealing with a new home.

The seller Gabriel was very knowledgeable about KB homes and helped us through every step of the process. Our builder Mike was the best. If we wanted something looked at , he was very attentive to our needs. So far KB homes he been the best of all the home companies we’ve dealt with.

THE ONLY ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOW IS THE SWITCH FIR THE GARBAGE SHOULD BE UNDER THE SINK FOR EASY RATHER THAN 3 FEET AWAY. IT JUST IS A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WAY TO HANDLE THE USE OF THE GARBAGE DISPOSABLE.

Overall satisfied with the out put of our home.

KB made the homebuying experience seamless in a harsh market! 10 out 10 experience and I love my new home and neighborhood!

Deeply appreciated your time, effort, patience, friendship, and everything before, during, and after our house buying.

Everyone on the team was wonderful. They were able to help me whenever I had a question or request both before sale and after move in. Very caring team. I would use them again!

Everything was great initially, but the financial part could have been better. The people from KBHS (Loan) worked like they didn't know exactly what they were doing, and in the end, I lost money and time because of them. When I asked for help because I had problems because of them, the manager answered, "It is what it is, and I had to see how to solve my problems." when we finished closing, all the promises made by the project manager of a second walk after the 30 days, nothing, I am still waiting, there are some details in the house that I had reported, and I don't receive any answer. In conclusion, everything was excellent in the sales part, but in the financial, you better save some money and work with other lenders and don't believe in all the promises by the construction part because at the end, when you are done with the closing, they forget about you. ...

Was great communication and nice work

The sales and lending team were helpful and responsive throughout the buying process. Any issues we found upon move-in were addressed at our first month walkthrough. Energy star certification is a plus.

It was an awesome experience working with KB. They go above and beyond to make sure they get everything right with your home. I’m pleased with the customer service I received through this entire process.

Great to work with everytime

it went smoothly some what

Professional, good workmanship, good experience, good building materials.

KB home did an exceptional job on our new home. The craftsmanship, communication, and adherence to budget and timeline were outstanding. Their team was professional and responsive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

It was an amazing experience from start to finish.

This is my first experience with KB, but my 10th home. This was by far the most customer focused and detail oriented experience I've had. The studio visit was delightful and everyone wanted to make sure that my home was just as I needed. The construction Manager was fantastic and continues to check in from time to time. My home is solid and well built - I couldn't be more happier!

Good experience buying the house.
