KB Home Reviews

Construction took nearly a year. After the move in, there were tons of issues- The builder did not install the correct window in our son’s room and they had to cut the window out and re-install a new one. They made a mess and it took a week for the project to be finished. The power went out for a 1/3 of our home and it wasn’t considered an “emergency”, therefore was not fixed immediately. The loan people at KB were also dishonest and did not act professionally. There were several other issues as well. Overall, KB does not seem to care about their customers. Billy and Marcy were both very professional. The lone bright spots. ... More

I am in love with the layout of home, however quality isn’t the greatest. I have advised the builder of ongoing issues within the home, I have yet to receive a permanent fix.

Like most builders, they ran months late in delivering. The value for the price paid is low. Poor finishing of the house in the final laps. We had to go after them to get things addressed. It was stressful, time-consuming, and frustrating to deal with a builder that was not customer-centric.

We have been in the house for over 6 weeks and we are still waiting to get issues resolved. The fit and finish was really disappointing. The house was not cleaned when the movers showed up. All we got was empty promises.

Very regular in terms of maintaining the timeline for the house built up V as in customer have to keep an eye on any issues on in the stage you can figure out Lot of things were broken and you should have caught by the construction manager, but it is not done so be very careful dealing with this guys

Mike the Superintendent were so great in helping me with this house. He made sure things were done correctly and in order. If it wasn’t for him I probably will be talking to an attorney. So many things wasn’t done right and many of the employees that worked for the company seem not to care about how the structure of the house inside and out were being properly built. Mike made sure it was right, thank you Mike for being an outstanding employee.

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

Everything was going smoothly and satisfyingly until closing approached. After multiple last-minute delays to closing, we felt rushed into forking our money over, and then we were promised that any remaining issues at the home would be addressed shortly with wording like, 'right now', 'later today', or 'tomorrow'. More often than not, this was not the case, and it felt like we were taken for a ride. Seemed like they got our money, and then forgot about us. Took over 2 months post-closing to get almost all of the issues addressed, in what could've taken a week or two, at most, for nearly every item, with coordinate effort. Presumptive buyers: make sure you double-check their work CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY before signing the final docs! Many lessons learned from a first-time home-buyer. ... More

Most of my home buying experience with KB was great. Including the initial walk-through with the sales rep here at Berry Springs, the design team was very thorough and really helped my wife pick out items that she really loved. Our issues are with the quality of the build. The construction team failed on numerous occasions to respond to emails, texts, or calls. Any issues that we asked to get resolved were met with resistance or they would do a bare minimum job to try and skate by. At this point, 45 days into my home, I still have construction issues that seem to take way too long to resolve.

Disappointed with house purchase.experience & explanations of what was included.

Home delivery was delayed considerably. Two months after closing, there are still items pending to be closed such as shower enclosures.

Our sales person Anthony was great. Brian from construction was very helpful in getting our home finished Lionel loan officer helped us through tremendously. Underwriting needs a new team with compassion towards homebuyers.

1. I signed for a closing date of august 31st . I booked flifght and car ( I am a canadian resident ) at the last momemnt I heard that the AC has not been delivered so I cannot occupy the appartment. I paid around 900 $ for hotel during my stay . Ingrid tried to help me for reimbursment but I did not get any response. 2. There were some scratch for the painting, I asked the manager to fix this and did not get any response. 3. I was suppose to get a new AC remote control but nothing has been done. 4. My Car spot is used by contractors and is very dirty. 5. There is some issue with the painting , everytime we touch the wall a scratch appear. ... More

Should had built with another builder in different neighborhood.

There's very little I would recommend here. The experience was horrible. Still fixing issues with poor craftsmanship.

The closing process was rushed which left a lot of things unfinished/ poor quality with the home. First time home buyer so we just figured it’s easy to get repairs done after the fact especially since we didn’t move in right away. We have had trouble now getting things completed since we closed. Feeling like we’re getting the ‘run around’ since we closed and now they can move on.

The reasons for my low scores are the finish quality of the house, the last sales rep experience, not being able to do a change order, and the lack of response to finish with the remaining issues with the house after living in the home for almost two months now. The lender experience was the best part; working with Lionel was truly helpful. The studio was also fun, and the only downside was not being able to make a change request even though it took over a year for the house to be done. The biggest issues I had were with my sales rep and the complete quality of the home. I had three different sales reps, and the last one was the worse. Joshua was never on the same page with the construction manager and didn't provide any updates for me. I had to reach out on my own. The completion date kept getting pushed back, and I needed to sign on the house to not lose my rate without the house being done. I was ok with that; only once that happened, I wasn't able to do a walk-through, and there were still many issues with the house after being in the house for almost two months. The construction manager Tony was at first responsive, but once the survey results came through and after a month, he ghosted me. The new customer service rep has come through to see what needs to be done but has yet to send anyone on the team to finish the painting, finish my cabinets, chalking, etc. I'm glad I did a separate inspection because I had leaking issues, the heater wasn't working, the main bathroom was clogged with construction debris, and a lot of other things that they pointed out for me. ...

I suppose when a developer is going a million miles an hour to build out a new housing community, there's going to be some misses. But some are hard to get past: a dented dishwasher that didn't match the make and model originally chosen, AC installation that had the drainage lines hooked up backwards, granite counters unsealed and cracked to such an extent that the entire slab needs replacement, cabinets for a built-in fridge with a cutout too narrow to fit a standard 36" fridge, missing garage door opener panel... I could go on. It takes an exhausting amount of time and energy to repeatedly follow-up with customer service on claims. So be prepared to be diligent and advocate for what needs fixing. Prior to move in, the sales office team was very engaged, helpful, and responsive to ensure a smooth closing. If only the full homebuying experience could be as smooth as it was working with them. ... More

Initially house was to have been done in Nov/Dec. Did not close until March 21st 2022. Work and craftsmanship was shoddy and messy. It's as if the Foreman and workers had no pride in their work. Two months later and still missing two lighting elements and attic cover. Drywall, stucco and open joints are to be repaired June 1st, with paint touch ups on June 27th. Will see if this occurs as other promises were not kept. Neighbors also have a lot of "little issues" that they are waiting on repairs also. Very surprised and disappointed with KB.

Make sure that your mortgage rates are locked to the max amount of time, my home took longer to get it ready and my mortgage rate went high. Make sure that you record or have a proof of things that they promise to get it fixed before your closing. Keep in touch with your sales person to get updates on your new home and make few visits during construction so you can see how your house is being built when it's in construction process.

This home buying experience has been horrible and frustrating. The quality of workmanship has been poor. I have been in the house for almost 2 months. I’m on the third week of the kitchen island being rebuilt due to it not being level or square. I have a sink hole that keeps forming in the front yard. Some cabinets are cracked and need to be replaced. Plus a list of other issues. Contractors are not showing up to fix issues on days they are supposed to wasting my wife’s and I’s time. At this time I cannot recommend going with KB Homes.

The delay on handling things around the house after closing has been a very frustrating experience. This is my first home and I was not expecting so many issues because it's a new build. I closed 2/17/22 and still waiting for things to be taken care of. Now I have a ceiling leak on top of that.

If we didn't call every few days we would have not know any info about our house. We had to stay on top of our build to make sure things were done correctly

They said they were going to come fix things that weren’t done right and our yard was very bumpy didn’t look like they leveled it at all! We have chunks of our yard that have no grass! They said they had to get a second party company to level the yard and roll the grass and that they would do it the next week! We contacted Kyle the construction manager and he never replied. They also changed our close date the day before we were suppose to close. I would not recommend KB to anyone I know.

I'm still waiting fixtures for my home. Almost 2 months and still missing items. Repairs and issues still need to be worked on with zero to little communication.
