I have lived in a KB home all my life. My parents have owned two KB Homes and when given the opportunity to purchase my very own KB Home came about, I was excited. Unfortunately, the experiences I have had were not the same as my parents. I expected more from a long time and reputable builder such as KB Home. For the amount of money I have paid, you would think the workmanship would be at the ultimate highest level. What was even more disappointing is the "talking out of both sides of the mouth" that occurred. I was told things probably just to appease me and then there was no follow through; totally "ghosted". What made matters even worse, one customer service person tried to coerce me into giving a dishonest review, when I only spoke the truth from my experience, and because of that review, I was told they would not be doing something they said they would do, which I ended up having to come out of pocket for. Furthermore, I have taken to managing the "fixes" needed in my "new" house and currently working with a great person from another department to get things taken care of. ... More

Our first home-buying experience was ok in the end, but not this 2nd time. We had a flooring issue the first time that was resolved before we closed. Through that experience we feel that the rating system is off in our opinion. We gave a 9/10 due to the problems with the floor, but had the construction manager at our door pleading it be changed to a 10. We thought 9/10 was pretty darn good considering the flooring headache. Otherwise, that first experience was ok. Now we move on to this next experience. It has become a nightmare. The home is way way way more expensive than our first KB home, but the quality of workmanship is worse(the materials seem ok though). The workers seem to not be skilled in their respective roles (painter, carpet installer, etc. All except the worker that installed our backsplash, who gets an A+!). The construction manager is a nice fella & seems to try hard, but has way too much to do and continues to make promise after promise. The home closed with several problems being promised to be resolved later. We either get put off and put off, or the fixes are horribly done or cause worse problems. Most of our neighbors have experienced similar experiences, and some are waiting even after nearly a year. We are all disappointed and worn out. But, given the rating system issue, we are not really allowed to rate anything less than a 10 for fear folks may lose their jobs. The pressure to rate a 10 is through the roof! Though the build manager promises to fix things, many fixes are worse than the original problem. We are exhausted and worn from cleaning paint off floors, trying to schedule repair folks to come fix problems several times over, managing the manager, etc. etc. etc. I knew it was KB when I began, but was hoping it would at least be as good of an experience as our first KB home despite the problems then. It is way way worse in this community. Sales guy is AWESOME, but the rest of our experience has been beyond exhausting. Beware this Community...the neighbors are nice, but the build process and horrible workmanship and need to have things fixed over & over & over is a nightmare. :( Overall, KB seems just as fine as other builders in it's price-range/caliber. But this community...ay caramba. And with the rating pressure for a 10/10, what recourse do we have? I love my floor plan, which is why we bought with KB a 2nd time, but I am worn to a frazzle and quite disappointed with the build process & quality this time around :( :( :(. Thank you. ... More

I like my new house and in general it's well built. However, I've had a couple of warranty issues that have been open for more than 2 months without being resolved.

Bought a newly built home from KB. There are 3 steps involved. First of ,the construction process was great. The superintendent and the construction manager kept us up to date and were receptive to our complaints and concerns. The home was delivered with minor cosmetic flaws which were fixed. So, we are definitely happy with that. However, the sales person who sold us the lot and floorplan was either not knowledgeable or just plain deceptive. We were told things that proved to be false. I requested several times if there were any model homes for our floorplan at other KB locations for us to visit since this particular subdivision at the time has no model homes to show for. We received no help there. Seems like the sale was in the bag and we're left on our own. We had to look for ourselves few presentations were made to us and our realtor proved to be false. Next step, the design studio. The person at the KB design studio who took care of the home upgrades was omitting critical info. For instance, we upgraded our bathroom which included a huge clear window. But this was not relayed to us. Who wants a big clear window in the bathroom??? So, the decisions we made was based on incomplete info. Make sure to ask what other changes come with every upgrade! ... More

Fantastic Service from the KB team.

VERY impressed with the follow-up attentiveness to even minor issues. Kevin and his crew do a fantastic job of making sure everything is, in his words, "perfect." I wish there had been some kind of backyard (rock or sod) completed prior to move-in. The unusual rain has created problems with the drains, and the sprayed on mulch is washing away.

From the start buying , during construction process , they always are ready to work with us. Good communication skills.

The head builder was very helpful. He was very trustworthy and was pointing things out he needed to fix that me and my wife would not have noticed. Overall a great experience.

Very happy with the house

Good.

The quality of workmanship was definitely lacking. It was obvious that the drywall and paint teams took no pride in what they were doing. I’ve had them back twice as they had to fix one of their repairs. I’m still finding spots they missed.

Buying a KB house was a great experience!

There were some issues with thr electrical. We had things wired so we could install lights and it took 4 hours to put up 4 coach lights because of poor workmanship. We have been in thr house for 4 weeks now and I not sure what else we will find as we go.

kB Homes made the whole process very easy.

Plumbing contractor states loose sink does not need to be fixed. Painter was good but contractor that does medicine cabinet replaced damaged medicine cabinet with another damaged medicine cabinet. Contractors have no regard for dirt as they track in mud with their boots and do not offer to clean up their mess.

Excellent home buying experience

Have outside paint issues, master bath caulking issues and master shower drain issues. I have advised project manager about flooring issues and was suppose to get back. Nothing. Advised about sliding glass door frame caulking issue. I had an electrical issue where multiple wires were bare in box and it was repaired with just applying electrical tape. Not acceptable. Entry door is damaged and got painted over and other doors in house have same issues. I was suppose to get a complimentary water filtration system at kitchen sink. Company came out over a month ago and said they would contact me and nothing yet. So I'm not happy at all. ... More

My husband and I have been looking for a home for the past year... we came across the model homes one afternoon on our home search. Being that this was our second home we knew exactly the thing we did want vs. didnt. Walking through the models we really like the fact that one home was geared towards the upgraded offers and one was this is how the house comes as is, this made it easy for us to decide the priorities on what we wanted to upgrade and stay within our budget. The process was pretty simple... a few misunderstandings, on upgrades and what all they included but by the time we did the design meeting with Alex we knew what we were getting at what price. Everyone is friendly and professional throughout the entire process! We would do it all over again! Still to this day, builders are checking in making sure everything is working properly, model home personnel call to make sure things are good. A friendly hello when walking by doing checks on others moving in! Overall a great experience! And we have our dream home with all the bells and whistles at a reasonable price for our family to grow in! ... More

I would have loved to have little parks embedded throughout our neighborhood however we are a small pocket within a much larger community, and not even the larger community has those amenities. We upgraded our cabinetry and it seems to chip rather easily, which is frustrating considering we've only been in the home since the start of the year.

I was always scared of buying a new home and all the decisions I’d have to make. The team really holds your hand as much as you need/like throughout the process and the final product is a dream come true

I went with the one stop shopping with KB and thought that was a great idea and it was up until the end. The mortgage company stinks! They don’t communicate in anyway. I was very nervous with making my first mtg pyt, setting up their online payment and through the whole process they never communicated once. A good thing I kept checking the site then I had to email them to see something wasn’t set up right. I went through every other company (utility) and they were awesome, but not this mtg company. What a sad way to end what was a good experience.
