KB Home Reviews in San Antonio, TX

The studio selection was all a money grab. I kept being told how I wasn't spending enough money, and I should spend more. We chose to add a gas line to our home. When we started looking at gas stoves for possible upgrades in studio, we were taken to the Lowes website. KB was trying to charge us roughly $200 more for the same stove that large hardware stores sale. Not only would I have to pay more than if I purchased directly from that store but KB would keep the electric stove that was built into the home price and not give me credits for it. We opted for the gas line only, and chose to keep our electric stove. The appliances KB provided were comical! We bought a home that cost well over $300,000 and received apartment grade appliances? Rather than let KB keep the stove, we donated it and purchased a new gas stove from the same hardware store that was shown to us in studio after move in. We were not told what the foundation height, of our home would be built at until construction was about to begin; had we been informed at the time we chose our lot we would have chosen a different lot to build on. We have six stairs and two landings in the garage going into the house. While our neighbors who have a similar height home have concrete stairs in their garage, we were first told building code did not allow them to build concrete stairs in our home. After consulting with an engineer as well as the code compliance department, my research showed that this was not the case. Concrete stairs could in fact have been built. When I came back with my findings, I was then told KB no longer used concrete when building stairs in garages. We almost did not close because of this. I find this to be a safety issue, especially for my daughter. We have not lived here two months and already my daughter has had several splinters and I am constantly having to remind her not to walk into the garage without shoes on. I do not feel like we should have wooden stairs in our garage for the price we paid for our home. Our driveway, sidewalk, and garage floor have also started to have cracks and chips. Our attic door does not sit flush. I find it hard to believe that this cannot be fixed when the attic door in the 19-year old home we sold had a flush door. Beside the fact that this is not ascetically pleasing, we are concerned about heat loss from the attic. We have reported this, and it has been looked at but the end result is the same. The AC that was original to the home we sold also cooled more effectively than the one in our new home. The only positive thing I can say is that the building superintendent has been fairly quick at responding to our issues up to this point, and tries to his best to address our issues and concerns. ...

Good job! Keep up the good work!

KB needs to improve pre contracting briefs for perspective clients concerning the loan process (impacts because of fannie mae and freddie mac requirements). Sub contractors neee to take their time and build a quality product, clean up job sites and no alcohol should be permitted on job sites. Our home had many flaws that required correction prior to closing.

Not to happy with my purchase I been ask to give you a great review and not so happy about my purchase Still issues aren’t resolved

I'd rather not say .

This a great house overall but comes with a lot of issues low quality materials and some really bad details from construction contractors !! Once I start looking around everything I find a lot of ugly things I have being fixing myself since I don’t trust them at all !!

All was good before signing the house agreement but after that we were all lost no one reached out to see what is pending with house touch up works. We are really sad about it I hope they can improve the following with new home buyer at least till first month

The loan process was scary at the end not knowing what was needed to close until the last minute and it pushed me back on close dates because of not being told I would need bank transfer for closing! 4 days after moving in I had a jacuzzi jet break and caused water to run through my roof into downstairs causing roof repairs carpet, tile, trimming etc to be replaced already. Cole the project coordinator very helpful and fast at replacing everything but the workers have been leaving jobs about 90% finished causing me to keep asking for workers to come back and finish things they missed instead of doing it right the first time!! My first home and now almost two months later, I’m still getting things fixed from the horrible water damage the jet caused that broke off jacuzzi tub in master bathroom. Not getting what I paid for, I feel like at this point to be honest. I think things were looked over that shouldn’t have been. Also had to get some frame work done on floors upstairs because I was getting squeeks when walking and some uneven surfaces. That’s been fixed now but not some paint and trimming that was caused I’m still getting that done when they can. Doesn’t feel like I bought a brand new build home like I did, with all the repairs already! ... More

Several finished not done properly, a lot of delays n rescheduling to get things complete, house not complete by closing, took month after closing n a lot of chasing n following up to get things done. Still have things not completed

Been waiting for someone to come over and fix things but nobody contacts me to give me a certain time. Disappointed!

Within the first month we had issues with the down stairs bathroom toilet clogging. We also had water coming/flooding from the upstairs shower through the walls down stairs. I was assured there was no damage, however, I don't know how this can be known if no one went in to look. I worry about mold developing in the future. Also there was a busted sprinkler pipe in the yard which flooded the yard and inflated my water bill. There are a handful of other things

1 Low Voc paint is tacky months later on all the flat surfaces and I am going to have to do something else to fix that as it's already ruined 2 Plastic plumbing parts that are already breaking 3 Yard was not leveled when filled and before sod was put down so it is tacky looking and uneven. Not to mention rocks weren't even cleared off first 4 trees were put in the wrong place and they had to come back twice to move them 5 sod installers did not make an effort to watch for the sprinklers I had installed and covered all the heads up Original sales lady was great, talked to us all the time. They terminated her when corona came around and we never heard from any other sales person while our house was being built. We just talked to the superintendent builder instead as the sales team forgot about us. Only been in the house for 3 months now, but anticipate more issues pooping up. Not the kind of quality parts and service you would expect after spending $330,000. I would recommend the area, but if you use KB, watch over everything they do and bring your concerns up as stuff is going down. You can pick out every little detail in their design studio, but the quality of execution and attention to detail are poor. ... More

Communication and time was a huge problem for us

I have been waiting for the issues in the house to be fixed

House is good. Great quality at a great price. However, the communications with the co structure crew and sales person was very poor. Would of been a great experience if they just listened to us versus fighting us. I would recommend KB to others with a different crew. Studio and mortgage process was amazing (even though kb asks for way to many documents).

Going into buying a home with KB, I was very excited. I was not ready for the inconsistencies with the project manager as well as him not meeting our expectations. There are still issues that need to be resolved and we have been in the house for almost 2 months.

On original walk through we tagged spot to be repair and six weeks later not resolved.

Very disappointed in the sub contractors. Especially the tile/flooring company. Also the painters. We moved in 1-1/2 months ago and we are still waiting on issues to be fixed

Hello, the responsiveness to issues its very bad! when you have problems they don't solve them!

Less than average experience so far in this new community.

The subfloor on the second floor is completely loose, whenever you walk on some spots you can feel it moving and making noise cracking. When we moved in, we have bees right above our front porch, 2 months pass they still trying to figure out how to remove them. Small details they are fast to fix, but some more complicated problems they take time. Poor job on details. Food materials

There was a rush to get the closing done without completing all repairs found during the inspection. As a result several are still not repaired 1 month later including a non-working kitchen sink drain which was plugged with construction debris. Does not appear to be an priority placed on getting the repairs since the house has been closed on

We got our house eventually for a reasonable price and many things are decent. But to be a little more critical, that's what people want, right? A lot of the processes weren't working out for them whether it's financial aspect, construction, communication (with delays regarding covid material shortage and "labor shortage"), the quality of work, etc.

As a first time homebuyer, I was looking forward to the experience but was a bit disappointed with the overall experience. For the most part, the initial process was fine, however, after deciding to utilize another lender the process seemed to deteriorate. The closing date changed a few times and seemed rushed and pressured while the house was nowhere near ready. After closing and signing the closing documents, it was days before I received the keys as utilized a different lender (not KB). This caused several delays and further coordination of firniture/appliance deliveries that were pending. ... More

I am making the house into a home, but there are some things, mainly cosmetic, that should have been taken care of beforehand. The home has the potential to be great, but for right now, I can say that it is good. The sales team was amazing. The floor plan is awesome. I just feel that the "small stuff" was rushed and overlooked by whoever was to inspect it during the process.
