Customer Reviews

Building homes too quick causes sloppiness.

  • Andreas W.

They should slow down a bit to maintain the quality of the craftsmanship. They rushed just to get it complete and get paid. Understandable, but bad idea.

Beautiful designs of homes, but the quality of the materials used interior/exterior was not satisfactory. Also, some structure choices are questionable when it comes to sound deadening.

Keep your eye out for mistakes

KB has affordable houses and they are all very updated with new technology. However, things in my home were rushed and not done correctly. From un level windows and light-switches (yes noticeably crooked) to a water main bursting in the first two weeks. I do give KB kudos for actively fixing all the issues but still the headache of contractors coming in to my new home to fix things during COVID has been annoying. The customer service team is responsive and proactive because they know that the workers who built the homes did not do so to standard. All new homes have issues that need to be ...

I wanted to share and thank KB homes and especially the builders for the hard work they put together to accomplish our new Dream House in Lake Lucerne that we are very proud of it. As a first-time homeowner moving from Puerto Rico. I purchased the build to contract home while being deployed in California. And made it so much easy and simple. Especially when the pandemic started in April everything was done virtual including the showroom. The builder’s project manager was very professional, amazing and, would go out of his way to assist us through the pre-construction virtual meeting with our ...

Amazing Location and Community

  • Darshan S.

Why buy a 30-40 year old house when you can get a brand new one at lesser/same price. A wide array of products available from condos to townhomes to single family homes. The community at Communication Hills is young and active with a lot of folks going out on walks late in the night with pets and children (safe neighborhood). Material quality is good and customer service post move in is amazing too.

Fast Process

  • Andrea D.

  • Elgin, TX

Everything moved along in a blink of an eye. The entire process was very good. The loan processor was design desk consultant and build site contractor were exceptional. My only wish is for a better conversation when setting up the build. We didn't recognize it wasn't what we thought it was until it had walls. Very odd how much you can assume in the process without even noticing. I'd suggest the actual build site contractor be part of that stage to ensure educated customers and reduce misunderstandings.
