KB Home Reviews in Austin, TX

We love our home and all the features. We were happy to be able to personalize the floorplan as well as the materials. There is room for improvement on the overall finishing of the home but KB has been working with us to ensure that all details are taken care of.

the virtual design studio was not the best experience.

good experience nothing to add

It'll never be perfect (finish work is mediocre), but for the price, you can't go wrong. After two new builds with DR Horton, KB is a breath of fresh air. We built our new KB home where we wanted it and how we wanted it. Lots of choices and lots of support from the building and warranty teams. One tip, DO NOT use KB Home Loans. Hands down the worst experience obtaining a mortgage EVER.

Vaule for money!

Designed as selected. Overall, I’m happy with location and new home.

I am happy so far with KB the way how they are handling issues.

A beautiful, wonderfully designed.

we have to check that everything is leveled up on the backyard otherwise you can have a very unsettled grass

The home is great. we love it. It was a model home , We had to have a few things worked on for move in. This was handled very poorly, workman ship very poorly done. The worst thing we encountered was the workers building your new homes across the street have driven in my drive way with dump trucks, trash trucks , trucks loaded with bricks ..And then they have driven in my YARD , rutting my it , over my sprinklers , over 4 times with my pleading for this to stop. Have asked for help and now we are wanting my yard repaired and my drive replaced,, CAN you help. Sad part we love the area and Home .. Not your unconcern of my New home we love . ... More

Stages pretty good for a month later couldn’t get in touch of the engineer

I love the design of our home, very spacey and organized. However, the metal made up the sink is easily scratched, which I wish we could have better quality of items made of metal. The constructors were very responsive in the 30 days period of home warranty after closing. Though we still have 2 years warranty with other constructor, they responded slowly and I haven’t heard from them yet. I hope I can hear back from them soon.

Good experience overall, however closing process was rushed and a few issues that needed to be fixed should have been done so before closing rather than rush and get to it afterwards. Since then there has been delays with repairs and poor communication. A lot of the issues wouldn’t be there if workmanship was better.

Overall a great home and look forward to living there for years to come. Be builder can be a little slow in address issue after moving in. But overall good

GI, Zach and Jason did a great job

We're fine with the home, but long story short, we're finding issues with the house after about a month of being here. The sales team and building project manager are responsive, but things would have been better if the builders were not in a rush to finish the home. We've dealt with stuck doors, wet paint, a leaky sink, unsealed garage, a number of other issues that we were told would be fixed after inspection and closing. Some thing have been fixed while others are still outstanding- for example, a faulty oven that apparently, was a company-known issue being experienced by other home buyers. Moving forward, KB probably shouldn't buy wholesale appliances from Whirlpool. It does not seem like a good idea. We may need to call and email them to file for a warranty-replacement... again, after only about a month in living here. I'm giving the experience 4 stars because the sales director and project manager have been nice to work with. ... More

First time buying experience can never be smooth but i live my community and my home. The only thing i would say so is the quality of workmanship could be a little better especially for the price we paid for it.

The experience was good. The homes are very nice and neat. The employees/staff were all very friendly and professional. They made the home-buying experience much more enjoyable!

Lack of attention to detail, so many irregularities one spots only after the fact I guess the excitement of getting a new house vails the blemishes initially truly disappointed with that fact.

I bought a ready to move in house. There are many small things needed to be completed before. However, after closing i found it very difficult to get those things done. Such i had to call thousands of times just to get installed sud, and other stuffs like crack, missing paints, AC check for temp differential are still not done. Customer care is another worst part. I called them a month ago which they never did follow up.

My experience With Kimberly is top notch! She kept me I informed with the knowledge presented! She explained the process along with realistic timeframe as other folks cannot grasp the concept. Clint was the guy who would update me during the build but after 3 months never heard from him again about the progress. It took almost 11 months for the home to be built due to the market and times. Jeremy, superintendent, knocked it out the ball park with giving me the walkthrough and taping stuff prior to close. Jeremy did his absolute best to get things addressed with folks building the homes and even after closing they are coming out to fix when Jeremy and I follow up with each other. KB Finance needs to communicate in full and not have someone agree to a long term lock without informing the cost of it. The folks who built the homes in my community are having issues as we came together and shared things but it happens. KB is a great home builder they just need to assess who they hire to build the homes as the tile folks hired didn’t seem to care much about the work done as some of my tiles are not lined up, cracked and damaged. Only repairs the tile people did was the glass piece in the middle, I’m aware they got tanked. Painters got copious amount of paint throughout the carpets and texture stuff was taped and not completed. Some side moldings have a gap between them, the stone pieces in the front are all over the roof and didn’t clean that part off. Cabinets that were damaged they attempted to paint over it but used the wrong paint color. Homes still being built they allow trash to go anywhere. My complaints obviously are the ones doing the work as it seems no care since they want to come out multiple to do a task that can be completed once. I’d use KB again but I will not rush myself to close if the home has obscurities. Again, Jeremy and Kimberley are absolute rockstars and take their roles serious! ... More

Great experience for first-time homebuyers. They walk you through the steps and make sure you know what is going on every step of the way. Unfortunately, they cut corners on the finishing touches and left a few things below standard.

Materials are not of good quality, for example, the cabinet we have many broken

We had a good home buying experience all the way from the sales agent, financing team, and build team.

Mark was very responsive with all questions and concerns we had, same with Kacey. Issues with house falling behind original schedule continued throughout the build that was very frustrating especially when balancing rate locks, apartment leases, and movers
