KB Home Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

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.

KB home seems to be more about quantity & production vs quality & customer satisfaction. Had multiple issues with house & community since home purchase. Workload applied to management team seems to be a lot to be able for them to address all homeowners concerns, repairs & issues in timely manner.

Based on my experience with KB Homes, I would not go with these builders again.

I was not informed when I was choosing my lot that there would be a drainage issue when it rains in my back yard. The backyard floods whereby the water stands making it unusable for several days. Several attempts to alleviate this issue have gone unsuccessful. This problem has tarnished my new home building experience.

Ask questions! Our home buying experience was less than stellar! 8 months of construction turned into 14 months!

If I had to go through this experience with KB Home again, I would quickly decline. From start to finish there was always something going wrong or some kind of delay. I would not recommend this builder. The sales team was dishonest and lacked accountability, the design studio made false promises and the builders just told me straight up lies. The only positive experience I had was the financing part that is did through KB Home.

We’ve had several concerns and building issues. Overall, most have been corrected or at least addressed.

Please check the workmanship. Bottom door gaps to large, latch plate not precise (3 doors), painting appears down right amateurish - wall repairs you actually see the paint roller marks, cutting on corners not precise. I really expected more from a reputable builder like KB.

We’re proud of our new home however I’m ashamed of how things were handled in the last week or 2 of the process

From the start to finish it was hard no body had answers and one lie after another was spoken down to like I was dumb

From the day I put my deposit down to close was 3 weeks short of 52 weeks. There were tons of delays including the week leading up to close. It seemed like the turnover of sales people, builders created an environment where myself, the buyer never knew what was happening or who I could reach out to. In the final month and a half they brought in a new project manager, Kelly who is and continues to be a Rockstar. He is so responsive and knowledgeable. The entire process would have left a sour taste in my mouth if it were not for him. I would give him 5 starts in every category possible.

The contract supervisor that was employed when we bought our house was horrible! So many things were not completed for our home on the Closing date and he lied about so many issues and made excuses for not being able to complete items.

KB Home does not provide high quality homes. We have quickly noticed all the shortcuts that were taken during the building process after moving in. It's obvious many of the subcontractors they hired were rushing and did not take pride in their work. So much so that they ended up firing the first crew and ended up hiring a new one, but a lot of damage was already done with the previous crew that they claim could not be undone. Additionally, they had delay after delay (it took 5 months longer than they said to get us moved in). Overall, this has not be a good experience. I would go with another builder. ... More

Not getting initial issues and workmanship defects addressed. Terrible communication. Unresponsive representatives.

What’s committed at the time of closing is not yet done . I am still waiting for that . And also no body contacted me for 1 month inspection.

We moved into a Model home which was a sales Office earlier. Prior to moving-in (at the time of purchase), we were provided a lot of assurances but when close to the move-in date, sales representative was not agreeing to none of the items agreed upon. For Ex: the carpet was really Bad and nothing was done to address the issue. Similarly with the doors. The only saving grace was the construction manager Joaquin. He ensured all the defects highlighted on moving-in were fixed. Over all did not have a positive experience and also felt I had paid 20K more than the market value.

The process wasn't delightful. I was given false hope several times and was offered things I didn't receive. If I could do it all over, I wouldn't choose KB homes.

While the home KB delivered is certainly a fine home, I'd wager there are ways to get a fine home with less headache. After being in the home a while, it's clear where some costs were cut. Certain things were unfinished or wrong: a chandelier with no lightbulbs, the door to the garage was installed backward, a nail sticking out of the stairs, a shrub promised in the front that has never been installed, several dozen large nails left on the deck/backyard. Many of these left undone after I was told they would all be fixed. A free additional bucket of paint was promised that I've never received. Additionally, it has been very difficult to get ahold of people and to hear back. As I mentioned, it's a fine home, but I'm sure there are many other companies that can build a fine home and have better communication. ... More

Not so great experience. Not honored the words spoken.

Alan and Don were great communicating with us from the beginning to the end, we run into a lot of issues from grading of the lot to constructions issues, in fact, we closed about 2 months now, I have not moved 10 days ago, we are still seeing issues with nails poping out, a few items pending from the last walk through before closing. our backyard keep getting flooded everytime it rains, and they are planning to regrade it again.. while I have two car garage, the drive way is so narrowed that I can only park one car ..

Worst workman ship ever, the whole process was a nightmare for me

No Transparency & do not care about buyers

Let's start from the beginning. I found myself in a position to purchase a home. I thought to myself wouldn't it be nice to own a house so close to downtown Raleigh? Well, yes it would have been nice. To be honest the location is in an area with lots of growth. But, the point is the house is a complete disaster. I have never in my life been struck with such intense buyers remorse than after the purchase of this home. This WILL be my first and last purchase with KB home. The list of issues I have with this house are numerous. To be honest I have never in my life seen such poor craftsmanship in a new construction home. Somehow when whatever you call "warranty" work is done mud gets tracked into my house. The workers never cleanup after themselves and they do work that honestly a high schooler in carpentry class could do a better job. It's an absolute joke that some of the people working on these houses call themselves tradesmen. I don't feel like I come home to a new house every day after work. No, I come home to my little house of nightmares. I paid for a new house but instead I got the used car lot equivalent of one. ... More

As a first time homebuyer I was initally very excited, but as time progressed, I became utterly disappointed with the whole process. The numerous delays, lack of communication and now that we are in the home, there are still a multitude of things wrong with the home, that we have been waiting almost 2 months for to be repaired. I will not buy another KB Home.

Not what I inspected I could of bought a modular home for cheaper and better quality
