KB Home Reviews in Austin, TX

Too many issues that still need to be fixed after receiving home

There were a few ups/downs in the buying process but once we got in things were great!! Daniel and his team made sure that our home was in the condition we wanted it to be in. Modifications were made to our satisfaction.

Workmanship is not good at all. There are many poor quality works that we have found at many places of the home. Even when we asked them to be fixed the persons who came to fix did the same kind of poor quality repairs making no difference. At the time of closing we noted some issues that needed to be addressed. But due to closing timeline, we were told to go ahead get them fixed by warranty. There are two bigger items that are not addressed till date, that we definitely want them to be addressed. Chipped portion of counter top in kitchen that was just glued in, Drive way replacement as it has cracks. In fact prior this year, I dropped from other home in East village - Classic collection for the drive way crack issue and they said they will not fix it. But after we dropped from that home, we saw the driveway was getting replaced. If we were told that will be fixed we would have very weel bought that home instead earlier this year. But now the same drive way crack happened here. Earlier when we signed the offer, there was no crack. But towards the closing it started showing and before closing we said this is not something that we are comfortable with. But we were told it is very minor and due to lack of time for closing date, it is better to close first and get them addressed by warranty later. Now we see that it evolved bigger and warranty team is saying it is in tolerable limits for them. But that is not aceptable answer for us as we had dropped from earlier hiome also for the same reason. ... More

If you are opting KBhome preferred lender then focus on 'Mortgage Insurance' component which will increase dramatically in final closing document. Need to discuss about PMI component from initial draft copies with your lender agent very clearly.

My experience with KB Homes has been a mixed bag. While there have been some positive aspects, the overall journey has been marred by several significant issues that are yet to be resolved. One of the standout problems with our KB Homes experience was the lack of transparency when it came to crucial information about our lot and an adjacent construction project. This lack of disclosure was a major disappointment, as it left us feeling like we were not adequately informed to make a decision about our purchase. Had we been given all the necessary details, we might have reconsidered our choice. Another area where KB Homes fell short of expectations was in the craftsmanship of our new home. We have experienced more issues in this brand-new home than we did with our previous builder, Meritage. This speaks to a potential lapse in quality control and attention to detail during the construction process, which is concerning when investing in a new property. On a more positive note, we do appreciate the layout and design of our KB home. It's clear that thought went into creating a functional and appealing living space, and this aspect of the home has been a redeeming factor in an otherwise lackluster experience. In conclusion, our experience with KB Homes has been characterized by a lack of transparency, disappointing craftsmanship, and ongoing issues. While the layout and design of our home are pleasing, these positives are overshadowed by the negatives we have encountered throughout our journey with KB Homes. It is my hope that the company can address these issues promptly and improve its overall customer experience moving forward. ... More

I had a wonderful experience with purchasing a home from kb. The process was very simple for this being my first time buying a home. Every person that helped me with the process was great. Answered all questions I had very quickly. I received phone calls weekly with updates on the home. I never was sent to an answering service. Everytime I called I always received the information I needed. It was also ready for move in months early. I would recommend kb to anyone purchasing a home especially new home buyers.

I am happy with the support provided by all KB homes people, be is sales team, design studio team, or the construction managers. They always listed to my queries and tried their best to address those issues on time and to my satisfaction.

We love our home! It's extremely comfortable offers a great floorplan and is truly the best price per Sq Ft you can get in the Austin area. We would buy through KB Homes again. You do need to stay on their case about getting things fixed which can be frustrating at times, but ultimately they addressed all our concerns albeit not in the most timely manner.

LOVE KB HOMES, MY WIFE WORKS FOR 10 BUILDERS AND WOULD RATHER BY FROM KB.

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.

Kb staff was responsive and knowledgeable.

Overal I think the house is beautiful and was worth it. I think KB could do better in certain areas. Do not have windows facing the next house, change your construction plan to have better lighting in the house. Some materials used are cheap, but then again the house looks great. Customer service has been Stellar! I would buy a KB home again, but only if I get it built so I have the option to choose the plan and material. My closing was also hassle free!

I received my home as what I expected and thanks.

I am satisfied with the house. I have spent my money in the right place. Warranty team quickly resolved all the issues!

Responsiveness to issues . Great work

This was such a great experience for our family! We were guided from foundation up until the complete construction of our home. This was an exceptional experience as a first time home buyer!

The construction aspect was the worst part of the home buying, things were not properly done before handover George did not do a good job

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

Satisfield by the process from sign in agreement to closing, people helped with the process whenever necessary.

The process was super excellent thanks to Kyle for you help.

Staff were always helpful and guided us through the process smoothly. Updates were timely and responses to questions were prompt and accurate. We are very pleased with our home and quality of construction.

Overall, our experience with KB staff was excellent, From the first buying experience to the move-in. Everyone was quick to respond to issues and has helped us resolve them in a timely manner. We love our home and also enjoy the neighborhood as well.
