KB Home Reviews

The value for the price we paid for our new home is okay, despite the continued issues before after move in. However, the communication and service from the construction team and lender were very disappointing. I would highly recommend that future homebuyers stay far far away from KB.

Asked to resubmit my first review bc “doesn’t meet website guidelines “ ... laughable smh... Here’s a summary: Nice staff/responsiveness... 4 stars Value for price .... 3 stars Trustworthiness... 1 star.. lost trust from the very beginning to the end. A pure nightmare Quality... 1 star .. never moved into a new home that was presented new ... (sloppy, debts, splatters, wires etc)

Here's my experience, I never had a issue with the contractors. They were probably the shinning star of this company. Everything we talked to them about was done promptly and handled accordingly. We had issues come up with framing and they were promptly handled with the proper care I would expect from a company bidding for my business. The design studio gets a A+ also. I forget the name of the woman who helped us, but she was also a rockstar. She helped us explaining the cost differences and what to expect down the road. Now the face of the company was horrible and will make me never buy from this company again. Becky was rude at times, short and was never very sympathetic for issues that came up. Some of the issues: I had questions about the contract and she talked over me instead of discussing it with me, we had issues with our first Lender and had to start the whole process over again, Becky continued to hound my wife and I about our lender, eventually cc'ing us in a very rude and unprofessional email, which was sent to our lender. This letter was so rude my lender vowed that his company will never work with KB Homes again. At the very end of it Becky threatened us with our lender, saying that if our lender couldn't come up with a loan agreement that our contract would be voided out, unless we went with KB Homes lenders. When it came down to my family doing our final walkthrough, my wife and I had scheduled a trip to Texas for my work conference. We made it very well known in the beginning to middle of the project these dates were a no go for us to close due to that (my wife had paid 600ish for the conference and plus plane tickets, rental cars, hotel rooms etc.). Becky insisted that we need to be there on this date which was a few days before we were due back, couldn't even work with us about pushing it out a few days. After numerous days of arguing about it Becky, asked us to have our father-in-law who just had a heart attack (which Becky knew), who couldn't even drive and was not mentally capable at that moment (due to his health) to come to get the keys and do the final walkthrough. After a long time arguing, complete frustration, and Hopelessness that this would never get resolved we finally were able to get our date pushed out. I am beyond frustrated with the whole process besides the three (1 design studio, 2 contractors) people I spoke about above. As for the pricing, I have remodeled my home before and I have a good idea how much labor and materials cost. You guys would of raked me over the coals, with flooring if I had not done the flooring in my old home.. The up charge on the materials alone made me reconsider adding anything extra through you guys. It would of been nice to have a home ready to move into at the end of the process instead of having to do construction for the first two weeks of living there. I much rather have the thousands of dollars in my pocket that were the difference in the prices quoted by you guys instead of the actual cost. The home Is beautiful and was well made. That's why I gave the for stars.... everything else would of been a 1 due to becky, except for the people I mentioned above. ... More

I don't like that KB home works with so many companies to build 1 home. Quality is not good, Do to this theirs so many cracks and holes. When reporting issues to the superintendent all he does is send you to the customer service number?, which no one ever answers or returns phone calls.

The initial process with KB Loan Officers and builder was unprofessional; consistently lacking in communication. Neither the loan officers or builder were on the same page on status or updates. The overall construction was okay but responsiveness needs improvement.

Responsiveness to issues by the construction team was slow and unsatisfactory.

Problems from the day one. Decided to continue homebuying after they worked with us to fix problems. Then problems arose again after our walk through. Tried to sell us a home with broken cabinets. Had to write multiple emails up to vice president to get our problems fixed. Staff is untrustworthy and unprofessional. We love our home but what it took to get it right was ridiculous.

Partly my fault for not making sure what was getting. Asked about screen for back porch but no one bothered to tell me there was no porch on this house changed the color of cabinets t hey picked and asked for different counter top in kitchen which they did not change after picking different cabinets. At fist very responsive to any problems or flaws but soon started not responding very well if at all. still have issues not taken care of.

Dont get any upgrades. The materials are cheap and fit and finish is horrible.

I wouldn't dare buy a KB home again in the future. The quality of material and workmanship is poor. I had to monitor every week to see if things were done well. Even after that, I ended up buying a home with a terribly bent incoming air duct, and a lot of wood studs broken or not put right. The worst thing is that they cheated me with the lighting by installing some cheap red lights all over my home. I had to spend a lot of money replacing them.

It has only been a little over two months since my closing date, and my homebuilder, Tyler, is no longer responding to issues that I've brought to his attention for the past month. The main issue now is the irrigation system. I've paid over $2,000 in water bills for a five week period. In a past phone call, Tyler accepted blame for the issue, and we discussed a reimbursement plan. I have followed through with that plan, and Tyler hasn't responded to my email, texts, or phone call. I'm not willing to accept that loss, so it looks like I'm going to need to contact a lawyer concerning that issue. Further, when I responded to my first KB survey and had issues (mainly a home inspection report that I got after closing that showed problems with the roof), I requested that someone other than Tyler to contact me, and KB simply had Tyler respond to my issues. I'm sure KB won't publish this review without contacting me, so I'd appreciate it if someone higher on the ladder at KB than Tyler will contact me. ... More

My experience with KB home was terrible, aside from those in the design studio, it was a mess of lies and half truths. They were terrible at communicating with us and tried to close us into a house that was not finished. We had to take our issue up to the regional manager to get our house finished. I’m 60% sure they ignored my home inspector report since they never confirmed they fixed anything or we found things in our walkthrough that were pointed by the inspector. I would never recommend building with KB they are a horribly run organization from the sales office to the building. I would be very careful of KB loan as they give predatory loans and try to force people into above market rates using sellers credits ( this is illegal for those who don’t know). Overall choose a different builder you’ll save yourself the headache, time, and worry. ... More

Find out more before buying your own home. I made lots of mistakes and learned the lessons. - I didn't know that my backyard was too small to install a patio. However, no one told me before paying the earnest money. -I didn't even know there was another house being built right in front of my house. - When I needed help, I did not receive it properly and on time. no one was responsible Do your homework before buying a house. check twice

We, and all of our neighbors were pressured into giving a good review. Our closing date was changed on a Friday at 445pm to the following Friday evening, when closing was supposed to happen Monday morning. When we told them that we already had made plans to move out of our apartment and would be homeless on Monday, they said the only way for us to close on time was if we said we were 100% satisfied with the house, even though there were tons of blue tape issues that still needed to be addressed. Had they told us about closing getting rescheduled just 2 days earlier, we wouldn’t have been compelled to lie on our closing survey. The house is very pretty, but since I know where the issues are, they bother me. I’m still going through the warranty process to get them all fixed. ... More

Not a good experience!! Would never refer anyone to purchase a home from KB!

Horrible experience. Where is the info regarding the media panel? Where is my mailbox? Why are my gate fobs not working? Where are the paint cans you told me I’d have? Why are your employees not responding? You guys need to learn how to provide a full packet at settlement. Instead of spreading out information in sixteen different places. Your customers legit hate you. Get on the Liberty Facebook page and see how angry your buyers are. Never giving you my business again.

everyone was pleasant to me. the quality of work for the tile and flooring was poor

This is the worse decision I've ever Meade in my life, starting from the sales person as he did not listen to me or what I said I wanted to, instead the pretty much push me to buy the house/ nightmare I am living in, then getting a call from the same person asking me why did I only gave him seven stars? He should be thankful that I gave him seven. After him, one of the construction managers telling me to give him a 10 thinking he deserved the 10 instead of letting me consider what to give him follow by my closing date, bringing my stuff that same night to put it in the garage, it seems like the cleaning crew from the last walk-through decided that my house was the perfect one to leave the dining area windows open to escape from there stealing my griddle and a personal dolly. That's the beginning of my nightmare, followed by my AC, not cooling at all, or blowing any air in the bedrooms, only in the living room, dining and kitchen area, As well as the she wrote people covering the outlets in the guest bathroom and then cover it with the mirror, causing my master bath, not having any power in the outlets, also have water leak in my master bath, kitchen lamp, and laundry area, I have a roofer hammering my roof. I don't know exactly for what reason because instead of fixing a problem now I have holes and the top of my roof by the attic all this contractor supposed to come certain times and dates making me wait for no reason, I also have the worse patio because my grass is full of patches like they never even water the yard now I've been buying expensive products just to grill my grass and see if it could grow healthy, I have promises and promises as I waited over a month for my griddle and my dolly to be deliver. This is the worst. It seems like KBH, it's more about quantity and productions and not quality. Honestly honestly I am very upset and disappointed by this builder and I have a lot to say I am ready to write a nice and ugly letter to the corporate and post it on the BBB As I am not satisfied, and I'm not happy in this house for many reasons as you can see, and I could go on and on and on. besides, I have the warranty guy telling me not to post anything on the portal when that's the way to do it. It's the only way I have proof of every single report I have made instead he asked me to call him or text him. I'm sorry, sir, but I am Customer and I didn't bought a home or a three dollar house I invested and I was expecting the best but honestly, I feel discriminated denigrated probably because of my ethnicity and my sex as I am a female, If it's for me, I will not recommend anyone to purchase a home with KBH. I have moles in my bathroom, kitchen and laundry if me of any of my family Members get sick do to mold Mind you I only have a month and a half living in this house so be ready KBH!! Very disappointed, regretting this decision of buying a house from you guys. ... More

The house wasn't ready by the dates that I was told and the conditions that I received it were not the best.

Not very satisfied with this newly built home. This is our second home but the first newly built and the first KB home. From the final walk to move in to now, there are still things that are not completed and we moved in March 9th, today is April 25th. I was lucky to at least have the Warranty people come out and give me a date to fix remaining issues. Overall, I would not buy a KB Home if I could go back in time.

The salesman was excellent, but I'm having too many issues with the house and having difficulty getting them resolved.

Do not let a woman named Sapna P. gets anywhere near your loan.

Withholding of information regarding the homes status and buying process was blatant . Materials in the home are not sturdy and already breaking. Cant withhold weight.

There is just to many things to itemized. The house upon completion looked like it was completed with out supervision. To the point that when I was on the final walk through there was a picture of a Man's Private Part drawn on the Garage wall and it was unseen by the project manager. Then they ask you repeatedly if you can give them 10's on the Construction manager survey over and over even though they know it is not deserved but you feel compelled to or the stuff you need fixed in you newly bought home will not get fixed or it will be done with a grudge. I do not plan on getting another KB home after this experience and I am telling everyone I know that even if they can find a home that is smaller but cost more than a KB home go with the smoller home that is better quality. All you get with KB is more sqft for the price. But then you have to question what problems am I going to have to deal with after I get in the home because the home was so poorly built. ... More

Warranty group is has responded slowly or not at all to post closing issues
