Reseñas de KB Home

Absolutely the worst home building experience I have ever had. Overpromised and underdelivered, untrustworthy and unresponsive staff, poor workmanship. I closed in May and still haven’t gotten to finished product.

I am an Army Veteran and have been saving up for years to make a down payment on this house so I could move back to my hometown. Me and my girlfriend were very excited for our first home together. It didn’t take long for our excitement to turn into disgust. On the day of closing, many things throughout the house were unfinished or VERY poorly put together. The house was filthy and there was still construction waste/debris in the yard and garage. The sod that they put in was already half dead because it had been sitting on pallets for over a week, and after it was laid (around April 23rd) it remained unwatered for two weeks due to irrigation not functioning. It is now 7/9/21 and the sod still has yet to recover. It is embarrassing because their poor craftsmanship makes me look like I can’t care for a yard. The garage door did not function due to improper install, the front door and garage access door seals fit incorrectly, letting pests in. I have already had to deal with black widows. Before closing (April 27th) there were multiple light fixtures with no lightbulbs. I have been asking for the proper Edison light bulbs since closing and still don’t have them. The upgraded kitchen cabinets have a horrible finish, and I have been waiting since closing to receive new cabinet doors. The upgraded granite countertops had scratches and were covered in dried sealant. The luxury vinyl plank is damaged in multiple places and completely buckled in a 4’x4’ area, and buckled in many other spots. The “flooring company” Classic Floors” has been out 3 times now to attempt to repair the floors. All three times, they did not bring enough material, and damaged more planks AND my property in the process. I am still waiting for a finished floor (7/9/21) Many of the interior doors are damaged, and I am still waiting for replacements. There are lumps under the carpet throughout the carpeted rooms, and they left the tack strip to where you can step on it through the carpet. The driveway edges are already cracking and crumbling for no reason. The lot is improperly graded, causing standing water to pool up at the base of the foundation. I can’t even mow my side yard because it has had standing water for over a month. These are only a few examples. Customer service and construction are very slow to respond to issues. I closed on 4/27 and it is now 7/9 and not even half of the issues have been resolved. The overall lack of craftsmanship, communication, care, and false promises makes me 100% regret buying from KB. You would think that maybe a veteran finally returning home would get better treatment than this. As it stands now, I openly recommend everybody I talk to, as well as you reading this, to STAY AWAY FROM KB HOME!!!!! And if you don’t, be sure to have plenty of time to waste, because you will constantly have contractors coming out to your house to make “repairs”. If KB is reading this, I’m sure you know who I am. Please feel free to reach out to me. ... Más

Financing officer is a turboWhat Kehinde super attendant told me fix the one weeks take it two months to fix it

Completely horrible experience. No one reached out to you when you complain. No matter how respectful and understanding you have been.

Save yourself the heartache and look elsewhere. Workmanship is poor and sloppy. Never knew we would have so many issues with our brand new home. The community is great which is the only redeeming quality. It’s just unfortunate the home quality does not reflect the price you pay.

At the pooring of the cement I realized they were building the wrong house. When I told the sales person. He took me to the Model the Kingsley to show me it was the right model only FLIPPED!!! WHAT PART OF I WANT MY HOUSE TO LOOK JUST LIKE THIS!!! His reply was "No two houses look the same and does it really Matter? YES IT DOES. 2) The kitchen was smaller. I asked for the gourment Kitchen the sales person didn't know KBHome offered it. If he had he should of told me the kitchen would be smoller. Then he asked me if I wanted a 10 or 12 foot ceiling I said 10 thniking the celing was going to look the same as the model. I said I wanted my house to look exactly like the model. THIS WAS MY DREAM HOME THE HOME I WAS GOING TO SPEND THE BETTER TIME OF MY LIFE IN AND KBHOME TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THE WRONG THINGS. THEY BLAMED ME FOR INITALING THE SHOWROOM PRINTOUT WITH THE FLOOR PLAN ON IT. HAD I KNOWN THE FLOOR PLAN WAS DIFFERENT I WOULD HAVE QUESTION IT. I WAS THERE TO PICK OUT UP GRADES NOT TO SEE IF THEY CHANGED THE FLOOR PLAN. KBHOME TOOK NO RESPONSILBILITY. THEY MADE ME BUY THE HOME SAYING I WOULD MAKE MORE MONEY SELLING IT. THAT WASN'T THE POINT. I DIDN'T HAVE MY HOME BUILD TO TURN AROUND A SELL IT. NOW I AM HOMELESS AND LIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER UNTIL I FIND A NEW HOME IN TN. I AM DISABLE ON SSD AND A SMAILL RETIREMENT. THE CDD CHARGES ARE OUTRAGOUS. I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY IT COMES OUT OF MY TAXES. IT WOULD HAVE BOUGHT MY TAXES OVER 5,000.00 A YEAR NOT INCLUDING HOA FEE'S. THEY SAY THEY WANT THE CUSTOMERS HAPPY. I AM FAR FROM HAPPY ... Más

My previous review detailing my displeasure with our home was rejected for “legally sensitive content,” without specifying what (if any) it applies to, so unfortunately maybe this is generic enough: KB Homes representatives often paid little attention to detail, communicated poorly, did subpar work, and doesn’t ensure that alcohol isn’t present at construction sites.

I can't say kb in general, but definitely the people running the show in the neighborhood where my home was built . The worst workmanship I have ever seen..... Like there are so many problems with this home I wish I could give it back. The people they contract with are not professional in anyway. So many corners cut, my slab was jack hammered open 3 times because they did the plumbing wrong ... I could go on and on . Stay away from KB homes.

Very bad experience with KB home, not a recommended builder.

As soon as you buy your home nobody replies to any of your questions or concerns.

Too bad too late

The services I received was extremely unacceptable. Mistakes continued to happen not on my end but the sales office and design center. And everyone is extremely slow at handling issues. I have had to write several emails and make several phone calls for issues that are still not resolved. No one takes responsibility for the mistakes made and you bounced around. I would say if have a choice to pick a builder do not pick KB homes. I was also manipulated in giving a first good review that all of my homes issues would be resolved. After my review never heard from anyone again.

We closed 2 months ago. Much of our original punch list is still not repaired. The ceilings in 2 rooms began to sag. They've come in twice, ripped ceilings down leaving us without access to the master bedroom and living room/ kitchen. Ceiling is still not right, lights are removed, crown molding removed and damaged. And they have not shown up the last 2 days when they were scheduled, so I'm left without full access to my master bedroom. "I had an emergency at another location" and "I'm swamped, I couldn't get there today", after being told by the regional construction manager my home was a priority. I'd hate to see how they treat someone who's not a priority. ... Más

Post my 30 day survey. It speaks volumes!

Very poor workmanship and customer service.

My main issue was when things went wrong, on more than one occasion, KB failed to escalate and get resolution. Would not recommend.

Worse experience ever, never again with kB home

This is the worst builder I have encountered, sales team were fond of canceling transanctions and no considerations at all and end up putting more downpayment just to save the deal and resolved the issue. They will not work for you to make it happen you have to work on them with their expectations.

Please don’t trust them They do not have integrity They say you can get another lender but if you do they will threaten you that you will not close on time to force your hand to come back to them. Very stressful closing process

Unfortunately, this house is just not what we expected. To name a few problems, there are cracks, leaks, patches of different colored paint, missing grout between floorboards and tiles and wonky tiles throughout the house. It is just over all poor quality. We asked for these things to be fixed before moving in, but they weren't. After many arguments and debates with multiple people, we eventually just had to move in without fixes.

My First Time Home Buyer experience was destroyed by the builder’s team. They didn't do what they promised throughout the process. They didn't respond to in a timely fashion to repair workmanship errors.

Nothing... had a worst buying experience!

I closed on the house in June and there have been so many issues. The week after I closed they wiped out all of my property on the left side of my house. My A/C had to be braced into my siding and propped on 2 x4's to provide additional support. The A/C lines were damaged and leaking, the house siding and foundation had chunks removed by the bulldozer and the window wells were knocked loose. They had to re compact my soil, which they did after my landscaping had already been replaced. I am still waiting on the siding repairs. Due to the inconvenience, I was told by the VP they would pay for the installation of my fence, which had to be delayed. I provided a copy of the fence contract and the total amount and they sent me a check for the deposit....not the fence. Additionally, I receive all of the runoff from my neighbors behind me. Twice, my backyard has been completely flooded. I was told this would be remedied once landscaping was in, but after landscaping, I still receive the runoff. The VP told me in June he would check into it and I never heard from him again. When my irrigation system was installed, it leaked for a month. Initially when I reported it, I was told someone would be out the next morning. After the morning went by, warranty retrieved someone, who told me I was over watering and left! I had to step out of my house and flag the PM down. The valve was full of rocks, so he replaced it. More days go by and I stepped into my soil (where my lawn should be) and I sunk a foot. I reported the irrigation was still leaking on Wednesday and on Tuesday they came to prep for sod and I told them the irrigation was still leaking and the backyard was mud. At that time, I learned all 4 valves were full of rock (even the one replaced). They cleaned out the gravel and left. The next day, I see the irrigation is still leaking. They looked and said it was fine and left. After a few e-mail exchanges and providing pictures of proof, they replaced the valve and flushed the system. During all of this, my basement floor cracked and had moisture coming up through the cracks. Warranty's response was cracks in the basement floor should be expected. Through irrigation and partial landscape installation over a month ago, my fence was damaged in several places. Warranty says they will fix it. My furnace has been repaired twice, which they did respond quickly to. My shower floor slopes away from the drain (this was reported in my 30 day inspection) and not yet fixed. Due to the irrigation issues, I still have not had sod put in. I was told someone would be out to prep late last week, but that hasn't happened yet. Scratched mirrors, glass, and counter tops were all addressed quickly. This is the 3rd new home I have purchased and I have never experienced anything like this from other builders. I recommend doing your research. If I would have been more thorough, I would not have purchased this home. Since having these problems, I am now aware of other KB Home buyers that have drainage issues. Not only in my subdivision, but in others as well. ... Más

I have a number of things that are wrong with the house and KBHome has yet to schedule anyone to fix items even though they have come by my house several times.

I was not satisfied with KB Homes. They made my first home experience a very difficult one.
