KB Home Reviews in Dallas, TX

Great price and great value for our home, we are glad we bought our home from KB homes

Working with KB Homes was very easy and very quick in responses . The documentation was easy to fill in and close within time to our satisfaction

Great experience with entire process

Prices of the house are good, however materials not so fascinating. Please be thorough while doing the upgrade option.

All good. No issues with Builder But Materials are not that much great.

Very helpful and easy to work with. Affordable and a good value.

Good quality of materials and affordable prices.

I’m pleased so far with the project manager and the responsiveness when I have questions and needs. On the other side the experience through the mortgage approval and closing has been the worst experience ever. The closing was pushed more than 2 weeks from the original due date because the loan processor/analyst didn’t even check the emails I sent with the documents requested until the original “day of closing”. Documents where sent multiple times. No updates whatsoever after the delay, every day was a different story or request and no “target” day to close the loan. Even the appraisal for a property of their own was delayed and coordinated super late in the process. I will never finance again with KB home ... More

Easy to work with. Process was explained clearly and given timely updates. They finished a month early which worked out great. Overall very pleased with my purchase

The house is built with better quality and I do not have any complaints in that perspective. But the communication during the building construction progress could be better. There are a lot of false promises made which affect any individual both mentally and emotionally. It is really hard to change plans with the false promises from the builder.

It was a wonderful experience

The construction supervisor got transferred and the construction issues are not addressed, there is no point of contact now.

Let me advise one thing on the A/S work schedule. I would like to ask you to take care of customer point of view for the schedule. You are saying M to F 9am to 5pm only for this A/S. What should we do in case of nobody stay at home during weekdays. Then we can not get A/S? We are having inconvenience and stress. Please coordinate to work on Saturday for this kind special situation. Thanks.

There were plenty of delays for the move-in dates. We have been in the home for over a month, the 30-day visit has not been complete. Staff communication could be improved. Other than that, the house is built well. The value of the house is well priced. The location and the community are great.

Fast response to problems

Seamless transition from buyer to homeownership

Good Builder. But they don't have much design options and we need to go with very limited options.

Submitting an offer to this house and sale person's responses were very prompt and smooth. The house is blocking lots of noise from outside. The looks from the outside is very stylish. But there are things I hope I didn't see after moving in are following. #1. Lots of construction leftovers are buried under my lawn. I had to dig out trashes, various sizes of cement blocks, plastic vinyl, etc. I expect more in different sections. #2. There are holes in the garage wall. #3. Nails are visible in the one of bathrooms. #4. Windows sizes are not consistent. Bottoms and top widths are different here and there. #5. I hear quite squeaking noises on the 2nd floor and stairs while walking around. I hear this kind of noise from my mother-in-law's house which is more than 30 years old. ... More

Good price, bad workmanship & materials

Overall, the experience was subpar. Everything was going great in the process up until the point we signed our purchase agreement. After that, we went to studio and picked out all of our upgrades. Options were mispoken for, for ex: sprinkler system/gutters not included and were told they were. We upgraded to all gas appliances and upgraded appliance options and somehow they mistakenly did not include gas drop ins for our most important appliances such as the dryer and double connvection oven. We paid an additional $6700 for upgraded vinyl flooring that was terribly placed in some sections(you can feel the vinyl move.) we paid an additional $3400 for our countertops and they were misplaced and uneven with completely obvious and terrible placement seams. Our kitchen cabinetry was not flush with the wall and our cabinet sticks out from the too of the cabinet and retreats into the wall about half ways in. We have cracks in evidently every room downstairs as well as some upstairs cracks as well. Our upstairs tub was likely not plum becsuse it drains extremely slower than all of our other tubs. Our sod/plants were dead upon recieving our home and were told they'd be replaced as soon as we moved in, but a month later we were still waiting for them to get estimates to replace it and not guarenteed that they'd fix it after they told us they would. We ultimately decided to come out of pocket to replace the dead sod and install a sprinkler system. We've been told straight up that the new drywall contractors will not come fix the last drywall contractors mistakes and that they're too busy to fix our issues. We were told all settlement cracks however the size are always addressed at the 10 month mark and not immediately. The date we tried to move in we noticed our furnace was not turning on and had to wait FOUR days for the "emergency line" to dispatch out an HVAC company to repair the furnace. The issue was diagnosed as a miswired unit, so it was impossible for KB Home to ever inspect and evaluate if the unit was even working before we were given the home. The walk through was fairly rushed so we could close on the property and to be frank the walk through was more just a highlight of the basic features of the home. We got bounced back from person to person and superintendent to superintendent until someone finally took the phase and finished it. Even so, we had an 18 month build. We purchased at the end of April 2022 and Closed Mid- October 2022. We didnt recieve the guarenteed closing date until two weeks prior. Getting them to schedule people accordingly to come make repairs has been a struggle because they never show on dates we are told. There is an underwhelming determination to help us fix the issues and it's almost like we are bothering them to fix issues that should have never existed and then persisted. It has been extremely frustrating to be told there is no time to help us with all these issues because they are too busy with other jobs. Its been over a month and many issues are still unresolved. We like our house, but we are just extrememly dissatisfied and disappointed in the worksmanship. Everywhere we look, there is something wrong. I dont think any new home owner would appreciate that. KB Finance was okay. They were attentive and tried to help to the best of their abilities. ... More

My experience was great until it came down to closing. The title person handling my home was a pain. She wouldn't get on the portal that my lender had setup for all paperwork to go to one place. She was uncooperative on that part. Certain things that could have and should have been paid at closing they wanted paid up front. Anything that KB Homes tell you as far what they provide. Be sure to get it in writing

I was expecting a higher quality on materials as well as working. It seems to me Model houses were better

Quality at delivery time is slopy, could be more neatly delivery. Bricks could show better craftman ship.

The house was beautiful when finished. There are items in the house that were unfinished and lots of design center issues that soured this experience. Advice: new hires need much better training. Me working in the real estate industry I really was able to see the lack of professionalism and experience and it didn’t make the process great. Wish I had worked with more veteran employees. The Design Center was by far the worse experience of it all. A lot of items were not explained and I missed out on configuring my house the way I would’ve liked. Overall, I’m okay but would rate the entire experience a 4/10 ... More

The overall home buying experience was okay! There is absolutely no problem with the home but, I wish they treated the customers good enough because we faced issues with the sales person, who was very rude and lacked customer service skills. Despite multiple requests, certain tasks were only completed after persistent follow-ups, leaving a less than satisfactory impression on the customer service front.
