Reseñas de KB Home

Stop and reconsider. The sales manager is the worst person and provides awful customer service. He want me to desist from buying the house, and he was glad that that was the outcome. I persisted because otherwise they would have kept my deposit. The lender that they offer is literally unresponsive. I closed with another lender and never received an answer from KB home lender… why? They offer 10k closing cost assistance, but is just a trick! They did not provide me anything or give me information on why. The sales team was NOT present when I closed on the home… they avoided me! I got the keys in a bag on the garage… the only person greeted us where contractors that were still painting the home and cleaning… obviously they had no clue who we were. The house was delivered dirty, a knife blade on the kitchen countertop, bottles with paint open on the floor, it’s was horrible. We had not heard anything from KB home customer service about this… even as I competed a survey already… so that proves that they really don’t care about you. They only want you to blindly fill these surveys to make them look good on social media, but in reality their customer service is bad. ... Más

The finance team was great. Very responsive and never did they my address my questions or concerns. The builder, however, has not been trustworthy. The first superintendent behaved as if I was irrational in expecting him to properly fix issues. The second superintendent dropped the ball and is now attempting to schedule contractors to come out. All the while I have to request time off from work to address issues that were identified and assured would be fixed prior to closing. I am incredibly disappointed and appalled at some of the requests made. I held my end of the bargain. I hope that KB Homes will finally fix the problems and stop the process of inconveniencing me. The superintendent should have never accepted the crappy workmanship of the subcontracting companies. It is really a unpleasant for friends an family to see door that was never painted nor hung. Doors not closing as they should. Doors not fitting properly and a shower/tub tile work that is subpar. Not level in many places. There is more but I hope to catch corporate’s attention. This isn’t my first buy but it is my first solo purchase and it hasn’t been pleasant ... Más

If you use your own lender, and not KB's preferred lender, they will not negotiate price of the house nor will they pay any closing costs on behalf of the buyer. We're an active duty military family and it didn't matter because we wouldn't use their lender. Take note that this is how they treat military. So once we told KB Home we would not be using their preferred lender everything went downhill. We weren't treated like serious buyers even though our lender was waiting on KB to provide information to be able to give us the clear to close only one week after going into contract. Our lender had a hard time getting that information. It took them weeks of multiple emails and phone calls to finally get the requested information. And we were told as much that we were treated that way because we used our own lender. Again, buyers take note. Further, the communication between the sales rep, construction manager, and sales office is horrible at best. The project manager didn't even know we were in contract for the house until the week before closing. We were stonewalled at getting our inspector in on time for our projected close date at which KB told us if we waived the inspection they could close on our requested date. Shady but we insisted on our inspection and closing was delayed. Fortunately, we have an amazing lender that was able to extend our locked rate without us having to pay to extend. After closing, things got even worse and it has been a headache working with the construction crew to get blue tape items fixed. We're six weeks into our home and still have blue tape items not addressed along with the other items that the construction crew was supposed to fix but ended up making them worse. And I haven't even touched on the quality and craftsmanship of the house itself. There's so much more that I could write a dissertation on all of the issues, why we wouldn't buy another KB home, and would never recommend them to anyone. ... Más

Suzanne, was so kind and helpful. This is why I made the decision to purchase this home. This was my fourth brand new home. The few people I met while building this house were also very helpful like Scott and Mike but anyone in higher offices were very rude and not helpful I would not recommend Kb Homes to anyone, very cheaply, built so disappointed.

16 months to close. They tried to close earlier multiple times but work was not complete. When we finally closed there was still a list of things needing completion.

KB Homes may look nice from the exterior and the salesman may sing a beautiful tune, but this builder is one of the worst and takes every possible shortcut with no thought as to how it might affect the homebuyer. The salesmen work for KB Home and are willing to say anything to get you to sign that contract and put that sold sign in front of the house! We discovered many problems throughout the home including cracked foundation, "upgrades" installed incorrectly to where they don't function properly, light fixtures that do not work or are falling off the wall, among other features. Tile in the home is so uneven and chipped I cannot walk barefoot without physically cutting my feet. KB Home refuses to fix these issues. We were extremely pressured to "hurry up and close" and were promised warranty would take care of these issues after closing on the home; however, after closing on the home, warranty flat out refused to take care of these issues. I closed on my home with blue tape where painters and other contractors were supposed to come fix things. I was told to not worry about this, that again it would be taken care of after I signed closing documents. I signed closing documents, and suddenly both warranty and construction tell me it is not their problem anymore. They are deceptive in their business practices. I highly regret my purchase. ... Más

Expect delays, no accountability, and no communication from KB Homes departments. Initially, everything was great, but as we got closer to the closing date that changed for the worst. First, they told us we did not need flood insurance causing additional expenses to us the consumer. One week before the closing date all KB agents helping us went radio silent.The closing date came and we did not get notified in any way that it had been move due to the builder not having our home complete, it was until next week after the original closing date that we received word that it will take two more months to finish. Now it has been close to three months in the home and the warranty department will not respond to any of the emails I have sent them even after receiving a confirmation email from the stating that one of their representatives will contact me in 48 hours. It has been a whole month and no response to my emails. I will never buy again from KB Homes or recommend them to no one ... Más

This process of building with KB was a bit of a cluster… there seemed to be lack of communication between Sales, Design and Construction throughout the entire process. I signed my contract in March 2022, and the build didn’t start until July. Michelle M. was my sales counselor, and she was great.. and did her best to keep things moving forward…. The first problems started with the design studio… Lydia was my design consultant, and there seemed to have been a disconnect with what was a design item versus a structural item … She really didn’t have any idea what was going on.. no to mention when you went to the design studio there was many things on the walls for options, but nothing was available making the process very frustrating. I was told I wasn’t able to get a drawer bank in the guest bath.. (but come to find out later I was able to .. and of course there was a charge.) Throughout the build process I found many issues that I brought to Grant M.’s attention and for the most part it was addressed. Grant M. seemed to have been overloaded with the number of houses he was overseeing, and it showed. There was no consistency within the same model houses across multiple builds, and the order of operations seemed to be off. Justin H one of the project managers came in to help with my project, and he is a bit useless.. and pushes back on everything I bring up… and his response is “We are a production Builder and Nothing is Perfect” .. While I agree with that to an extent… if I am paying for upgrades in the house I expect them to be in good condition . I was promised to close on a specific date, and wasn’t even contacted letting me know we were not going to meet that date of March 10, 2023. Then I was promised we would close on March 17, 2023 and that didn’t happen. I finally closed on 3/31/23. There are many outstanding issues… which either KB Home is ignoring or dragging their feet on… my outstanding items include: * Dented roof vent (This was pointed out prior to being installed, but it was still installed. As of right now this still has not been fixed. Justin H tries to change the subject when bringing this up. * Cement pad for AC Condenser was poured and placed in the wrong location… Grant M told me this would be fixed, but it was not, and now I am still waiting for it to be fixed after Justin H said a new pad would be ordered. * The tile in my mater bathroom was crooked, and I was told that it was within tolerance … REALLY?? I got a credit back for the tile, and had to hire someone to re-tile the shower the week after I moved in. * Scratches on my LVP floor.. throughout the house. Justin H will come in the house rub his finger on the scratched area and say “See they went away” but then the scratches come back. This was a $12K upgrade and I shouldn’t have scratches on my floor. * The door on the linen closet in the guest bath doesn’t open all the way and hits the toilet. This still hasn’t been fixed. Justin H needs to coordinate with the plumber and flooring company to get this fixed and he has not.. * Dented window on the front of the house … * Gouges in the trim work throughout the house.. Justin H said this is normal … THIS IS NOT NORMAL….. * Weather stripping missing on my sliding glass door… Bugs are getting in through the crack int he window and I am still waiting for this to be fixed. * Also the trim along their floor of the door is scratched and dinged from when they were grinding the floors how to level them out.. * My shutters on the front window my house were dented… they have been replaced, but still haven’t been painted. * I was promised full home gutters and a fence …. the gutters have finally been installed, but still waiting on the fence and we are 60 days past closing. * Staining on front door… * The grading of the property is also off… the sides of the yard are not draining properly and it is basically a swamp. * The outside of the house is till dirty.. masking tape from paints and handwritten notes are on the windows still.. It is very evident that KB Home hires subcontractors that give the lowest bid. The trades do not seem to take pride in their work, and it shows with the lack of quality. Major problems throughout the house … and still no support after I closed on my home. KB Home says they are built on relationships, but once you sign on the dotted line everyone disappears. Jim M who is the EVP of the region even came out to the house prior to closing and spoke with me.. it seems like he was telling me what I wanted to hear… and told me to reach out to him if I had any problems… I have reached out, and have received no response back. I regret moving forward with this purchase, and am in the the process of looking for a new home. ... Más

Throughout the process he never addressed my concerns . Always said yes that will be fixed and never followed through. After I closed I came to my home with NO A/C AND THERMOSTAT! . He disappeared and I had no key to my home , there were no knobs on all the doors and he glued a damaged door on my kitchen island and damaged the island!, no weather stripping in the entrance door, SMOKE ALARM WAS TURNED OFF AT THE BREAKER BOX TO PREVENT THE CHERPING IN THE FOYER, missing doors in room # 1 & 2 , No dry wall on the vent box and the vent not working properly, no coach lights, Garage door malfunctioning, Air vent on ceiling not installed properly in bedroom # 2 and switch not working properly, walkway not pressure washed. The mulch in front of house left with construction debris, doorbell not screwed on properly, No garage light on motor , incorrect exterior door style for garage door entry to laundry room, No shutters on front window, Pantry door damaged, crack on frame above fridge cabinet, and drywall repairs throughout the house. Grant refused to follow up with me and a NEW PROJECT MGR WAS ASSIGNED TO ADDRESS ALL THESE ISSUES. JUSTIN is great and helpful and CORRECTING THESE ISSUES. ... Más

KB Homes are a nightmare!

I recently had the unfortunate experience of working with a homebuilder that I would not recommend. The customer service was appalling, their craftsmanship was subpar, and their overall trustworthiness was severely lacking. To say that the customer service was poor would be an understatement. The communication was abysmal and a complete lack of transparency. I was left frustrated and wondering if my concerns even mattered to them. This level of disregard for their customers is simply unacceptable. Unfortunately, the quality and craftsmanship of the house they built were equally disappointing. The attention to detail was non-existent, and it was evident that corners were cut at every possible turn. The finishing work was sloppy, with visible cracks in the drywall, uneven flooring, and poorly installed fixtures. The materials used were of inferior quality. Furthermore, the lack of trustworthiness exhibited by this homebuilder was deeply concerning. At homeowners walk through, the home was not ready and without any valid explanations, leaving me questioning their integrity. Moreover, request for low cost for minor repairs were responded with a rejection based on personal financial ability to self purchase, causing significant financial strain and a breach of trust. It became clear that this company was more interested in maximizing their profits at the expense of their customers' satisfaction and peace of mind. Overall, my experience with this homebuilder was nothing short of a disaster. The poor customer service, coupled with the substandard quality and craftsmanship, made for an incredibly frustrating and disheartening journey. The only positive in this experience was being able to close at a good price relative to the area, but that credit goes to me and my agent. Under normal circumstances, I would not work with this builder again. ... Más

Please don't get fooled by any of these people that work for KB Homes on promises that they don't deliver. Don't sign anything until you make sure it's done because these people only want what is coming to them and that is a bonus check on a great review that we give to them. These people put up a front of being good to you when in reality they are horrible very sad that KB Homes hires unprofessional staff to do such a sloppy job. Everything is an excuse to what they and their contractors do wrong so they don't take responsibility. Lose siding, damage cabinet doors, water coming in from rear door, flood damage from lose pipe, paint smudges everywhere, filthy house interior and exterior, sloppy tile work on flooring patch up on vinyl flooring horrible, terrible patch up and touch up on walls, back porch in terrible condition and the nasty paint job. Overall the one star rating should be ZERO that's how horrible the home and the KB home staff. ... Más

The house was delivered to us with many details, broken walls, glass with details in doors and windows, they did not clean the house, it was delivered dirty and with paint on the carpets, the gate was hit and they still did not replace the panel. The peivers were not cured, painting details inside the house still not done. The master closet done very badly. The truth is that we are not happy with the house because it was delivered to us with many things to do and it was delivered out of time. We are not happy.

The quality of workmanship is horrible on these new homes. So many issues with the house. So very disappointed on the buy.

In this current market you’d expect homes to be built better then ever. Interest rates are high and house prices are higher then ever. For those families still wanting to purchase a house. Buying one poorly built and shown lack of professionalism is disappointing. Trying to get someone to come do repairs is a joke. I thought it was just my house but after speaking with my neighbors it’s all our houses. When I met with KB homes the first time I was told how well their homes are built and how attentive they are to details when building homes. This is a like and a total joke. I would never ever recommend KB and or buy another KB home. ... Más

Don’t recommend kb homes

I'm actually really tired of these surveys - We had a really terrible experience, made the home buying process even more stressful than it should have been. The sales rep quoted us the incorrect pricing and was inconsistent throughout. The trades that were hired to do the job drew profanities on our things. However, the builder worked his hardest to correct things done. Chris actually cares. Steven doesn't

Since the very beginning at every stage of the process, I’ve communicated any errors or complaints immediately. After any complaints and talking to different associates in different departments, there was always a sense that things would be addressed, however that was never the case. Either things get passed down to different departments or people in charge, but things were never done. The overall construction of the home was very sloppy, tons of mistakes in just about every step. Lots of very obvious mistakes that were just looked past. When finalizing the home purchase, many things were still pending and we had many complaints from the construction of the home itself, delays and even the whole loan process with KB. I spoke with the customer director Don and we advised of all the issues within the home and with the customer experience. We left with a positive hopeful conversation that things would be corrected and rectified, because he was very understanding that our complaints were validated. However, at this point it has been about 5 months since then and only one of the smaller issues has been addressed. Nothing has been rectified. At this point I am very disappointed and would think that a company such as KB would do so much more for their customers and would not want to leave this type of experience for their customers. It seems as though there is no responsibility within the company to make sure things are being done. Someone needs to hold each department accountable to make sure things that are promised to be done actually get done and the customer is not left hanging for over a year. I delayed in writing this review because I was hopeful that things would be corrected, but at this point it’s safe to say the delays and ignoring of complaints will continue. ... Más

My experience was miserable and they know it. They were not honest about closing dates and they put me through at least 10 closing dates. This caused me undo and uncalled for hardships on me and my dog. Moving from place to place counting on KB to make good on closing only to be denied again and again! I lost trust in them fairly early on. Funny, the only dates they held true to was the date I had to have my earnest money/check sent to them by which in good faith I did! And at that point my closing date was cancelled for one excuse after another. They are quick to blame weather, worker shortage, etc. I saw their issue as a lack of leadership from the front office to those on the ground I saw working. A clear lack of supervision from higher up. The sales guy, the lender and the onsite construction guy were the only ones I trusted. All others truly didn't care promising only in the end, only when they knew how hostile my review was going to be, told me "they'll make up for the inconvenience" I went through. When you cant convince a buyer with quality product and results, you bribe them. I didn't take the bait and have the moral courage to put out there what I'm writing here. Approach KB with extreme caution, I'm not the only one this has happened to. Do your due diligence. I'm day to day with my new place a certain upgrade from the townhome I had in IL, but I just pray that small things I've noticed in workmanship and so forth, while not earth shattering, aren't signs of what might come later. Time will tell. ... Más

I closed Feb 28,2023, I did not move physically till April 17, and my water bill is $300. The house is not yet 100 % completed till today April 18,2023. Windows and door screens are not yet installed, laundry room is only 90% completed, garage entry door knob was installed backward , lights outside and front door are wrong in accordance with the upgrades, garage door is still dirty, numerous of over painted edges. Its over price. They forced us to close even its not ready, not even close to the promise of the term”RTM” ready to move. Floors are dirty.

Known Repairs issues after closing were not rectified.They have mistakenly installed a screen for the patio and uninstall it after realizing it is the wrong house.They promised us that they will change the damaged siding but until now it was not completed.

KB homes was our 1st single family home purchase. We went threw 3 superintendents which was a nightmare many sleepless nights. If you’re looking for detail work you will not find it at KB homes. Superintendents so over booked and worked dealing with you as a homebuyer is like walking into a busy restaurant on a Friday night with poor costumer service. The main guy over all the construction sites that’s worked like 25 years for KB homes is true to his word and will make things right. He is a family man and is kind to help threw hurdles.

Be Away from this Builder. The construction Quality is very worse. Many Issues with the home. They just avoid the home owner issues after closing. The construction manager is buying the feedback from the Existing home owners, with a small perks like Free Epoxy flooring, if we give 100% positive feedback on All sections. My Home had many issues, with the Paint & Appliances and many more. Some design selections I selected are not installed, they forgot to install them. So, I did not submit the positive feedback, They did not give me the Epoxy flooring. Submitting 100% positive feedback, for a 300 $ value Epoxy flooring is Joke !! Never trust this builder !! The home had many issues, and the construction manager will forget you after you close !! stay Away from KB Home. ... Más

The sales man was horrible, the title company and closing was horrible. The window washers came and told me they didn't finish and said they'd be back, they haven't come back. I've requested about 3 times now when they're coming back, still not back. After 3 week review I was told the painters would be back, they're still not back also.

I have been in the house for two months and it still has many details. The truth is that I would not recommend it to anyone, tremendous sectioning. Put people who are trained to supervise the construction of the houses.
