KB Home Reviews

Quality of home is very good. Customer service since closing has been outstanding. Cleanliness of work site and new home at closing was an issue.

Could have used better quality fixtures. Also there is lots of overspray on the flooring. It very good at details.

The house is up to our standards. It's perfect for our family. We love it. However, sales person who was "helping" us was deceiving in what she said we would get in incentives. Read the fine print...Don't take any employees word as truth unless it's in writing. Made our first time home buying experience bitter sweet. We went through a lot to get our house, but since we moved in, It has been good. It helped that our lender was outside of KB or we would have not bough our house. Hope others experience is much better than ours was. The house is absolutely great thought!

Be patient!!

KB homes have always been a great builder and quality craftsmanship.

Respect

So far we have no issues with the our new home the employees from the sale team and contractors were very professional

Good value for the price.

I got my Dream House with the help of KB homes and I like kb homes everything is good. I recommend KB homes to my sister she got approved and she has new home too.

Check home for any things that need attention from seller. Make sure you let them know when you haven't received any call backs to fix the problem. This helps the builder in who they use for their construction and appliances.

Better quality work in some areas

The folks at KB are great to work with. There are a couple corners that they cut to save $$$, but overall good value.

Nice homes, limited parking

Overall I'm happy with the home and floor plans..If I had to gripe about anything I would say I'm a little disappointed with the small backyard and a small issues with the wiring of the house. (Cable and the internet) not really sure who the responsibility really falls on weather it's Cox or the home builder, because both are saying it's the other party and unfortunately I'm caught in the middle. Other than that I would still give the home builder a very high 8 for a respectable rate of 10.

Had a very good home buying experience with KB. So far enjoying the new home without any problems and staff is very responsive too.

Very satisfied with the customer service. Excellent price of the home.

Very nice community and great location. We have a nice floor plan and very happy with our new house.

From start to finish, and even after the purchase, KB Home will be there to assist in any way. I have had great experience with them. They will do everything they can do exceed customer satisfaction.

As a first time home buyer, it was a great experience all around.

Great use of technology to share with you pics of the progress of your home ! Did complete the home build up on time as per the deadline. I also recommend the quality of energy efficient home feature. Post follow ups after you move in to address any concerns. Home Orientation educates first time home buyers about the home.

Overall happy with the new home process

I ran around town looking at resell homes and a couple of other builders in the area. Because of the current market, pricing is what it is. I wanted the best bang for my buck. The biggest thing for me was "what if something breaks, can I afford to fix it." Being realistic, there wasn't really any good reason to buy a resell home when builders are offering brand new homes at same price range. Of course there are the lived-in home benefits to a resell but for me, I am not handy. Knowing from the ground up everything is new, under warranty and I have a year to call someone to come fix it if something happened. I looked at LGI Homes right down the road from KB. I went back to LGI about 5 times before I decided their floor plan didn't scream out to me "this is home." The pros to their property were 3 sides masonry, brick/stone combo, granite, nice cabinets and other standard things in the house considered as upgrades with other builders. I didn't feel that the square footage was put to good use. For example, for the home size of 1350 sq.ft., I thought things were not balanced like the over-sized bathroom. To me the floor plan was a waste of space in comparison to the actual master bedroom. Things like this stuck out and kept me going back and forth. Do I really want to sign here? What you see is what you get. Their homes are beautiful and the included selections are beautiful as well. There was no lack of quality by any means. So I went to visit with KB Home to see what they had to offer. When I arrived to meet my sales person, Severo greeted me with a smile and asked what we were looking for size wise and lead us right to the model homes. He didn't ask for preapprovals just got us right to the end product. When we walked the 1353 model home, of course perfectly decked out, we immediately said this is the one. I was so surprised that the floor plan made good of its space. Yes we would have loved to get a bigger house but it wasn't in the budget. So we decided on the 1353 floor plan. 3 bedrooms with den. I loved it from the moment I stepped in the model. It was cozy and we could see ourselves living there. We talked about the options, things that were included and what were upgrades etc. The start price of the house left us wiggle room for the upgrades that we needed. We went over a short list of must haves with Severo to get an idea of what the end cost could be and to decide if it would meet our needs and expectations. We went home to sleep on it. Googled builders and reviews. KB and LGI were the top builders based on reviews in my area. That same night, I emailed Severo and set up the appointment to sign a contract. We went on a Sunday and selected the home site, signed the contract. I only had to put up $500. (LGI was $1,000). The reason we went with KB Home was the simple fact that we could customize our home, even down to what side of the road we would be on. (to an extent of course). I "sacrificed" 3 sides masonry for selections that made me happier than how much brick I had. I obsessed about my selections for weeks. I made several trips to the KB studio. Pulled samples, matched colors, changed my mind 800 times. It was stressful but a fun kind of stress. I was able to fulfill my love of the color gray and build around that instead of pre-selected brown granite that I really didn't love. I love my aspen colored granite with my raised breakfast bar and pendant lights. LGI could never compare for me, even though their kitchen had more cabinets and tile floors included. They weren't my style in the end. There wasn't even an option for a covered porch. Some things, for me, matter more than having 3 sides masonry. I don't stand outside and stare at the side of the house and wish for more brick but I would have stood in my home wishing everything wasn't brown. Construction started fairly quickly, some weather delays at first but not much. I signed in March and Closed in November. Severo sent me weekly updates and pictures of the progress. I didn't have to drive out there to see it all happening unless I wanted to. He was always super helpful and never pushy. If any issues came up, he helped get it taken care of with the right people. Now I live in my new home and come to find some things I wish I would have done in the build, like under cabinet lights and over the toilet cabinets but nothing major. I did find that after living in the house, there wasn't a ton of storage inside. The master bedroom closet wasn't really that big but totally find. The shelving could have been set higher up so I could add more below after the fact. Not much room for a nightstand between the bed and closet door. Little things like that. I didn't buy a castle so it comes with its territory. I love my home and I love KB. I could see myself building again with KB when its time to upgrade the home. People are always amazed when I tell them I picked out that marble counter in the bathroom and matched the cabinets. It's so fun to talk about and share pictures. Its almost been a year since I signed the contract and it is just so exciting. Were there issues, yes. Major ones? No. Anything I brought up was addressed and taken care of. Humans build the houses so everything won't always be perfect but to me its perfection. I know I made the right choice. Now if KB could do something about the traffic, Manor would be a better place! My overall experience was amazing. I feel I got what I paid for. ... More

I'm very disappointed that internet access is still not available on my street. If I'd known this, I would not have bought with KB Homes.

It was a good home buying experience.

Great price but some of their material aren’t the best with their comercial home building over all I’m happy
