All I can say is, WOW! I’ve enjoyed this journey from beginning to end. The design studio, my sales counselor, & construction manager all helped me every step of the way. I’m so glad I chose KB Homes as my home builder. I would most definitely recommend them to build your home for life.

Great Service and process, mediocre materials and workmanship

  • Anonymous

In short, good experience with KB, the service, responsiveness. Would recommend the team and ease of doing business anytime. From a value and workmanship perspective, I think they are mediocre; some paper-thin walls (sound), rushed finishes, carpet tags and bolts missing (though again, good service to fix). I think value (price) is ok for the Bay Area. But for the $ I would expect better materials.

Nice home but after being in it for a month quality control was obviously lacking

  • Eric D.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • April 14, 2020
  • Vista, CA

I purchased a new home and after moving in it became obvious that the quality control was poorly managed or nonexistent. The painting was poorly completed and the subsequent touchups that were done were done in a different finish. There are other issues as well, including the dishwasher not being installed properly which resulted in it flooding the kitchen. They respond quickly to the issues but it is obvious that no one tested anything before I purchased the home and I wonder what else was not properly tested. It seems to me that they slap that houses up as fast and cheaply as possible and ...

Great home, wonderful customer service

The process took 6 months, which is about what was expected from the original estimate. The house turned out beautifully, and my family and I are thrilled with the result. In addition to the quality of the final product, all of the KB staff have been and continue to be wonderful in terms of consistent communication and following up on requests/inquiries. I would recommend this branch of KB to anyone looking for a new home.

Not as good as we hoped

  • Kaid C.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • April 14, 2020
  • Brighton, CO

Cody said he would replace our driveway and power wash our garage that’s covered in paint. I’ll be happy to change this after that is done but it’s now been just about 2 months and we are getting the run around we feel like with no direct answer. Our furnace acts ups time to time. The paint inside the house is super cheap and if you accidentally rub your shoulder in the wall it scratches. We love the house as a whole just want the driveway replaced and garage power washed and I’ll be happy. Oh we also had construction workers steal water from our hose which isn’t normal.

The entire kb home team are fantastic to work with. It's special to have everyone from sales, construction, to Customer Service giving the service that truly makes you feel special. The Communications Hill community is beautiful and is the best new home place to buy in the bay area for value. I am very happy with my new home.

We moved in, and shortly after, the COVID19 quarantine went into effect. So, this had a bearing on the responsiveness to our requests. The biggest plus are the people we have been in contact with to address our issues. They are quick to answer our emails. This is our second new KB home, and we immediately noticed a better service and product from our first experience 11 years ago. I understand that the models are “cookie cutter,” with many upgraded options, but it would be nice if some structural items could be changed, like a pocket door or garage options that wouldn’t change the ...

Went well

Everything went well with a few hiccups along the way. We are settling in and getting the hiccups worked out. Still need a few things done. Very disappointed in the landscaping. Small ailing plants. Definitely C grade. A lot of dead grass. They came back and took out a lot of it but simply didn’t finish. Now we have several large areas with no grass. I will call super about it soon.
