KB Home Reviews

Nice floor plans but concerning craftsmanship. Terrible basic options which practically force you to pay extra to upgrade. KB has a long way to go to be a quality builder for the extreme price point.

Cons: HOA is kind of expensive (no amenities or whatever) and the grass are uneven in the tiny park and sometimes there’s litters. Builder still has not replied or given me the garage opener they promised (it has been 2 months since we close), which shows they’re gonna be like that if some warranty issue happens. Loan officer keeps getting our names wrong during the process and the closing was postponed 2 times and only notify us hours away from it. Pros: Community is quiet. The house is fairly build.

Way too manny small issues with the home

Took 1 year and 4 months to build a basic house. Floor plans and building materials are very good. Factory built walls and floor platforms are excellent. Local subcontractors are TERRIBLE. Not only did the subs trash our tile, vinyl flooring, cabinets, and granite countertops but even after you move in they will trespass on your property, leave garbage on your lawn, and the ones who come from outside the US will harass and intimidate female members of the household who complain. Expect to be parked into your driveway by workers after you move in. We are still cleaning yard soil out of cabinets because they left doors and windows open for weeks with topsoil blowing. Even the ceiling fans were full of dirt. We had to pay to redo our tile grout as we couldn’t clean the muddy grout because a worker tracked mud everywhere on pristine tile. They laid carpet first THEN painted so we are still cleaning paint out of the carpet. No apologies from KB yet for this incredibly disrespectful behavior. You will get a good house but they will abuse you in the process. ... More

I am not happy with material and painting

One thing I learned is that when you purchase upgrades, what you think you are getting , is not what you expected. I am pretty good at questioning, but in this case I didn’t know what to ask, or that I had to ask. I feel like the design center should be fully upfront and offering to explain what exactly you are spending your hard earned money on. They are all friendly enough and pleasant, but in hindsight I wish they would have been more willing to offer info- some things I am disappointed in after paying so much extra.

Good experience buying the house. However, the responses to issues found in my have been too slow.

I would rate this whole process 3 star, during the process of gathering paperwork was difficult due to a lot of miscommunication and some area during the process can improve. But overall I’m satisfied with my home, I do want to say that sale person and responsive to issues team is awesome.

Not all issues on a repair list completed to date. No clear contact person for support. Community hoa only takes money and fees, minimal to none involvement or keeping oversight over what’s going on. Utility companies are “exempt” from notifying that they do work in front of the houses and act without regard or respect to owners. Poorly arranged and organized for owners to follow. Initially was happy about the house now Becoming more and more unhappy that got involved with this organization after paying premier market value for the property getting mediocre to borderline unfriendly support.

Excess on sales talk less on customer service & delivery

there were several pending issues that were promised to be closed with-in 10 days after closing, but those issues are still pending. Especially dry-wall, has been painted many times rather than fixing it clean.

The initial process was smooth. My rep was very helpful providing info on how to get prequalified and get into contract. The build time was very long as I was told permits were delayed 3 months. I was being pushed to close on property before the build was complete which I didn't appreciate. My initial foreman retired midway thru build process but the superintendent that took over the build was great.

KB Homes has great homes with great upgrades for the price. My experience with the sales agent and construction manager were awesome!

Lengthy time in build, several issues. I.E. accessive trash left both inside and outside of residence.

Requires thorough inspection for construction defects.

When my husband and I became interested in buying a home with KB we had heard great reviews about them and we were excited to work with them as well. We did not like the fact that we were assigned to one lender before signing to buy and then she was changed without our consent or prior warning. It seems like KB has the professional lender that presented well to sell but then change to another person that doesn’t care or get to know you/family. Very unprofessional and don’t like playing these games just to make a sell.

Our GC Jeremy was phenomenal and was always helpful. The overall experience was ok. The workmanship of the trades is sub par just doesn’t seem like they care. It took a year to finish the house but not too bad. KB provides a quality product and I’d say probably the best builder in our area. I really like how they use metal posts for the fence because a lot of builders just go with wood. Once again Jeremy the GC was excellent!

Pete is an excellent construction manager

The house has been great so far for the 2 months that I’ve lived here. The warranty process on the other hand has been less than ideal. We’ve had some damage before delivery that needed to be replaced and it was submitted during the first month of purchase and the guy was really helpful but nothing has been done so far.

Warranty followup has been good.

We were very excited to work with KB because the sales team is great at making the presentation and making a lot of promises. Unfortunately, many of those promises were not delivered or brushed off. After we moved in, there were too many issues, small and bigger ones that need to be addressed. Yes, the warranty team is responsive but it requires us to be at home each time we wait to someone to show up to fix something. We are in the house for 6 weeks now and I had to take 8 days off from work to be at home. That is incredibly inconvenient for a brand new house.

almost two months after receiving the house I still have a to-do list that no one fixed... It seems that things have changed quite a bit with the importance of the client.

some things were sloppy on the build, wall was not done very well , bricks not aligned some bricks chipped, light on the porch painted over , stucco splattered on the wall of the yard and some splattered on front of the house and painted over. water pressure not very good.

Kudos to: Ms. Whitaker, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Willis and Sandra (Alamo Title). It was a long build to completion and I felt like I really had to push the last month or so to get a confirmed completion date. Once moved in, there were multi issues with asthetics. Paying more than $300,000 for a home ($700,000 in 30-yrs) I felt like the craftsmanship should have been closer to perfect. We had painters out several times for doors/trim, had our counter tops buffed (scratches/devits), one mirror was scrattched, cracked base boards replaced, etc......

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