KB Home Reviews

Sorry to say but don't buy from this builder my first time ever buying and it started off wonderful and then turned into a nightmare wish I could say otherwise very bad experience I will never recomendó or ever buy from this builder ever or again .

very bad services waiting for 2 months and still waiting. very unprofessional staff, I do not recommend KB. I regret buying the house with KB

DO NOT BUY a KB HOME!!!!!!

First time home buyer here and we were duped. Had multiple construction issues (wrong windows, plumbing issues, foundation not level, flooring issues, doorknobs falling off, cracked windows, windows off track) all in the first week of moving in. Customer service rep told us we were being unreasonable and then superintendent took over customer service and supervising construction. Horrible idea. You have to email and call and chase to get anyone to acknowledge your issues. Then you have to allow the same people who messed it up the first time to come back and mess it up again. Will never buy KB home again. Do your research because I wish I would have. ... More

Excited to buy a new home again with KB since first experience was unforgettable however it was the worse experience ever. Beginning was all good and sweet but the ending was a nightmare. From Walk through to after service was unprofessional and unacceptable.

Shop around before committing.

My experience with KB Homes was terrible from the start and continued to be bad through owning the home. Even after I finally was able to move in, there are multiple construction issues that weren't addressed. I like the floor plan of my home, but would not recommend KB Homes to anyone.

The entire experience was/is horrible. From the start a salesperson giving wrong information about home options & solar programs, sales/customer service people not showing up to home walk through appointments, to multiple building delays. After a 11 month wait l moved in & it took five weeks to gain access to my mailbox. Not to mention, after two appraisals the house still came in almost $30k under the purchase price. Highly recommend using another builder.

There were so many issues we found after we moved in. Major plumbing issue they have not fixed almost two months after we moved in. Two downstairs toilets overflowed first week we moved in, plumber found the underground pipe connection issue. I purchased brand news homes many times in the past, I never experienced so many issues in the past. We had total 8 families from our phase to move in around the same time, every single family experienced the same. KB hired the cheapest contractors or staff to build their homes. there were so many incomplete jobs we found after we moved in. I don’t know how did they perform their basic QC, damaged cabinets, missing closet’s cover, bath towel handing rack, non-operational Owen, missing French door and storage baseboards, window’s frames, gap on kitchen panel doors, gap on upgraded master bathroom’s counter top, uneven and unfinished wall paint, un-functioned garage door light, unfinished garage door floor…too many to list. We emailed the repair list to the builder, they couldn’t complete fixing the issues two months after we moved in. Very disappointed to spend so much money to purchase the home from KB in Irvine. You can come to my neighborhood and knock any family’s door, they will share the same experience and gave you a long repair list. ... More

Please don’t trust them They do not have integrity They say you can get another lender but if you do they will threaten you that you will not close on time to force your hand to come back to them. Very stressful closing process

I have a number of things that are wrong with the house and KBHome has yet to schedule anyone to fix items even though they have come by my house several times.

Our house seemed rushed and not complete. We paid lots for an incomplete house. Cole was helping us get everything taken care of, then they let him go leaving us with people that did not take customer service as seriously as he did. Now that Cole is back, which we are sooooo relieved by, hopefully things will get corrected for us. Our original salesman Scott has been awesome as well. Cole and Scott were the only ones that cared about us.

no one listens anyways why write the story again

I bought a brand new home, with that I expected it to perfect inside. There have been so many issues in my house and still are. They have attempted to fix some things, but they still don’t look acceptable. Contractors that are doing my work don’t seem be professional and you can tell in their work.

KB promises 100% completion before move-in, but they did not deliver on their promise. Our home was far from being completed with numerous flaws and construction problems. We are still dealing with issues that have not be fixed or even addressed. Our neighbors have similar or worse issues. I have purchased other new home in the past and have never had such a bad experience. If I had to do it over again, I would not buy a KB home.

Check your build daily the contractors hired are unskilled labor

I would never recommend a KB home to anyone based on my experience.

My home buying process started out perfect. The deal sounded great and the expectations were set high by the sales Agent and builder. I went to the design center and picked out many very nice reasonably priced upgrades with the exception if appliances. The appliances seemed rather expensive. Then the bad part stared. as I met with the construction manager it seemed he did not know particulars of the build. I was one of the last houses in the neighborhood and would have expected him to know this just due to repetition. I had multiple issues with building quality of which the construction Manager just kept sending the same crew out to do the same job and expected a different result. This is exactly insanity. When asked for a different plan or crew he became defensive. I also found dusty razor blades and nails in my yard after the sod was in. This is a safety concern for me for the kids and dogs. The construction manager did not go look for them for weeks to clean them up and when asked why they were there he told me it was a KB Home construction standard to leave razors in the yard after the sod is put in. I have been in the house about a month and a half and just found another razor in the yard. The land leveling crew also backed a tractor into my house cracking the siding. This was not discovered on the KB Home final inspection until I mentioned it. This makes me concerned about what else I either did not find or KB Home covered up as 'standard construction practice'. Overall due to my experience I can not and will not ever recommend or buy another KB Home ever. ... More

Two sides of the backyard fence are made of the cheapest driftwood. Even a small dog can push its way through and 2 dogs have come into my yard through that flimsy fence. And when it rains, the wood is soft and can crumble off by itself. Why would a builder use that type of "wood" for a new home? I've been without the screen to my master bathroom window for almost 2 months now. KB Homes should follow through with replacing the 2 sides of rotten wood/fence and providing the screen for the master bathroom window.

If faults are found with code violation and bad workmanship, they tend to brush it under the rug and state that 'THIS IS HOW WE BUILD KB HOMES!"

Multiple issues with the KB house after we moved in. You have to file claims to fix these issues and it takes long time for the construction problems to be fixed. All appointments are scheduled during my work hours. Do I need to quit my job or hire a house sitter to be at home for all these after purchase repairs? It was the worst decision of my life to buy a new construction/KB home

It was one of the worst experiences of my life and now that I have moved in there are even more issues

Quality is very bad. What they sell is very different to what they deliver. The only important thing for them was closing the sale no matter what. Quality the worst of all the builder I have purchased from including Lennar, GL Homes., Horton.

Terrible experience with building team and sales. Not a builder who keeps the customer in mind since everything done is always rushing the customer. Mistakes were made by builder yet customer has to pay the price. Unable to trust Tami, Nick, and Al.

KB sales office upgraded my flooring to wood and failed to send me a sample of the flooring. I requested 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch engineered wood! They used cheaper 3/8 wood and charged 30K. Did not send me sample! THIEFS!
