KB Home Reviews in Seattle Bellevue, WA

The whole experience was great.

The model home was impeccable, your home will not be. We paid thousands in upgrading almost everything that you could in their base model home, and our home looks like a college kid slapped everything together with a hammer and some nails. Cabinets are crooked, chipped, cracked, and missing hardware. Vinyl floors are warped like you are walking on an uneven gravel road, same experience with carpet (the subfloors are not settling correctly). Paint throughout the home is uneven, finishes are horrible (it looks like a college kid painted the home in a few hours) paint easily scuffs and chips, so don’t plan to even touch the walls because you will either chip or blemish the paint. Upgraded canned lights are not flush with the ceilings and have paint all over them (according to the superintendent, this is my responsibility to get them flush, he claims they cannot get it perfect). Window seals are horrible and have tons of draft, and patio slider does not close properly and has a lot of draft as well. Upgraded kitchenaid appliances are malfunctioning and installed crooked, but it is your responsibility to get it fixed, KB Homes will not help with that. Door frames are crooked (KB Homes has to come in and reframe/reset many doors throughout the house because they do not close now). Trim work is horrible, you will have large gaps between floors and trim (the excuse is they use “floating floors” but I am in real-estate, and I have seen much higher quality installs with “floating floors” I suspect the sub floors are either settling wrong or installed incorrectly. These are just a few of the issues I could think of. Spend your money elsewhere. ... More
