KB Home Reviews in Tacoma, WA

Yes for the value today I think they could put a little more into the building process of the upgrades probably could have offered more and with this only being too much into the moving process it really takes the first year to see how the house holds up so what I would like to see is this survey to come back after a year and then I could really give it a good evaluation

KB built our neighbors home after ours was built. They built the same model as ours with their windows all mirroring ours. The fence is lower then the windows, therefore we can see into each others homes. We have NO privacy!

1.)Upon walkthrough notice drain and crawl space, ask what's that for was told for emergencies. Now upon inspections and crawlspace, moisture and water underwater vapor. So waters coming in under the drainage system at this time causing issues with mold possibly growing. 2.) serious noise issue with air conditioning unit outside of master bedroom. The piping is run through the framing and not properly insulated that it makes a vibration noise and keeps us awake most of the night. It started to cause health issues. Bob's heating has come inspected and says the unit is running properly. The issue is not the unit running it's where the pipe is run through the framing up to the heater causing loud vibration noises all night and day. We have contacted customer service several times in reference this matter. The response is that's the only place I can put the unit and the way needs to adjust our temperature higher so the air conditioner doesn't run. Why do I have to absorb the cost of running more heat than necessary? Thank you for your attention in this matter ... More

It sounds like you're experiencing issues with low-quality materials and inadequate plumbing in your new home. The small pipes leading to low water pressure can be a significant inconvenience. the sales team is being helpful and help in the buys process which I greatly appreciated.

Initially the commitment to customer service and quality helped seal the deal, as we got more into the process these things quickly disappeared. Part of what we were sold was the commitment to communication, customer service, and quality. We felt like we couldn't trust anything we heard from anybody, we were told what people thought we wanted to hear. Communication seemed to be the number one thing that we were told was going to happen, far from it. Some of the issues like communication wouldn't have been much of a problem if it wasn't pushed that it was such a priority, creating a chance for expectations to not be met. We love our home, the features, design, and location, unfortunately we have several issues that we will need to address soon from workmanship. We know after building 3 houses things come up, but we have ran into some concerning issues that we will be contacting KB to fix. ... More

Bought a brand new home in Falling Water 2 and the build quality is not as good as I would expect with a new home and under the brand of KB Homes. The roof above my garage is bowed and they keep telling me it is a cosmetic defect... I am hiring roofing company to give me a second opinion

When I visited the site, the home was not yet built. My main question for the sales representative was which home would provide the best mountain view, and I was advised to buy lot 77. At that time, there was only my home 18631, and there was no house behind me. However, after I moved in, a taller or same hieght home was constructed behind me, which blocked the mountain view from bedroom window. now the only view of the mountain was visible from my kitchen. I was a bit sad about this change, but accepted it. Additionally, deck work began on the back of my home, further obstructing the view. I had shown these concerns to Brad as well. I would not have purchased this home if I had been informed about the potential for this obstruction during my first visit in November 2024. The primary reason for my purchase was the desire for a good mountain view, and this situation feels misleading. l feel so sad and hurt about this. not enjoying the experience afterward at all. ...

Actually, this is the third home I have purchased in the last 20 years. My first home was bought by my ex-wife, who added me to it. We then built a second home together. The quality of the homes was satisfactory, and the builders was accurate. They suggested a meeting shortly thereafter. However, I am quite dissatisfied with the responses I have received regarding at least eight or nine issues I raised directly with the builder. I will refrain from naming anyone, but I am sincerely disappointed.

Unfortunately we have had a very bad experience with our KB home purchase. Not only did they fall greatly short on presenting a finished "New" home but have lacked any sense of Urgency to get issues resolved. The staff are pleasant and friendly but just haven't gotten it done as of this review. I know people that have purchased Kb homes and loved them so maybe we just got a bad crew.

Post my 30 day survey. It speaks volumes!
