Reseñas de KB Home

Don't waste your hard earned money on this community of kb homes!

It has been more than two months since closing, and instead of doing the things we would like to in and on our home, we spend our weekends taking care of workmanship issues. In the last two weekends, we removed and repaired drawer glides in the last cabinet installed in our master bath, and yesterday fought off an ant invasion because there are gaps 1" wide between the siding and the foundation. There's no telling what we're going to find next, so we have set our expectations to zero. We're also redoubling our efforts to find what workmanship issues remain, but it will probably take an entire year to find them all. We have collected a lot of notes, e-mails, and photos, and once we do find all we can in this first year, we intend to write a report we to send to every name we can find at KB Homes about our own unique home-buying experience. ...

Don’t buy from kB! It’s been a nightmare since we got here.workmanship is terrible and repairs are slow and sloppy! Don’t Buy from Kb!

I was threaten to lose my rate if I did not close before my house was completed. I have lived here for over 1 month and my master shower has never been used because it still isn’t completed. My closet has no shelving, I’m missing some gutter on the roof. I still have blue tape that wasn’t fixed that was noted by a kb employee himself. The superintendent sends you nothing but lies about the progress of your home. If you plan to buy from kb anyway I suggest you check progress on your own and do not close until it is 100% completed. My backsplash is broken and has been since closing. That is still waiting repair. They do not respond to emails. In the process of hiring an attorney for the issues as no one has made right on the problems. They talk a good game so do your homework. Hire your own inspector. My suggestion is go do a custom build or buy from a better builder. ... Más

The sales people used high pressure tactics and misled us during the purchasing process. They did not communicate with the lender or the design center. We had to check that everything we paid for was installed. We paid for higher end cabinets and they were not even installed correctly. They came with lots of damages, they are still not fixed even though the house has closed for 3 months. This was not our first time buying a new home, but it was the worst new home buying experience. It definitely did not feel like we were purchasing a home that cost more than a million dollars. We would never recommend anyone to buy a KB Home and we will definitely not buy another one. Here are some of the things that went bad: - cabinet handles were installed crooked, and not aligned. - they come to do touch up paint and left paint drops on the floor. - all the doors are scratched or dented. - the garage door handle just fell off - while we were buying the house, all the home buyers did not get the same price adjustment, some home buyers got additional benefits even though salespeople lied and said everyone is treated the same. - the after purchase service is non-existent. There is no place to send issues. Nobody responds to emails. The only person who tries to help is the construction superintendent. - the KB team was the most unorganized group of people we dealt with. - throughout the whole experience communication we received from different people were all different. Nobody was on the same page. Everyone had different dates, deadlines or records. If we have to organize everyone’s efforts, what are they getting paid for? - it was a very unpleasant buying experience. ... Más

The NEW home purchasing experience with KB Home was spoiled due to the lack of attention to detail and follow-up plus the bad quality of materials and workmanship which did not equate to value for the price paid.

Sales team was great. All other aspects from loan, construction, quality, craftsmanship, closing, to repairs has been a nightmare. Very disappointed in the product. There are major issues in every part of the home. Moved in and the AC, Ovens, electrical and plumbing all had major issues. 2 months in and we still do not have proper working air and still no ovens. Countertops that we paid extra for is cracked. Most of the electrical was wired incorrectly or not at all. Overall, the lack of detail, care and professionalism was missing. Not sure if it is incompetence or laziness or both. Either way we feel as if we were sold a lemon. We will NEVER EVER BUY KB homes again. Do your research!!!! Also, incorrect materials were used. Drywall does not even reach the floors. We have had at least 20 repairs so far and are awaiting many more to correct the issues. The construction manager who was in charge of our home lied to us multiple times causing us extreme stress about closing. We had no where to go, our storage unit was up, had to cancel movers and KB undelivered as promised multiple times. Finally closed with an incomplete home. We signed originally with a closing date of July and ended up closing in December. BUYER BEWARE!!! Scam and sham job! ... Más

Will not recommend kb homes

Given this horrendous disappointing experience with sales, construction and customer service, we do not plan to do business with KB Homes again nor recommend KB Homes as a viable option. We take pride in companies that display respect, dignity, integrity, accountability and sincere customer service. We have had experiences with The New Home Company and Tri Pointe Homes, which have all surpassed the level of customer service, integrity, and overall satisfaction we've recently experienced with KB Homes. The lack of professionalism, integrity and accountability speaks louder than words. ALSO, we’re noticing the home is built poorly. Paper thin walls. Pretty sure they used styrofoam and sheet rock for walls…only put wood behind sheet rock for load bearing walls, which is less than half the house- making it freezing during winter. Poor overall material and quality. ... Más

Extremely poor communication and rushed process. Warranty items are very slow moving

Let's start from the beginning. I found myself in a position to purchase a home. I thought to myself wouldn't it be nice to own a house so close to downtown Raleigh? Well, yes it would have been nice. To be honest the location is in an area with lots of growth. But, the point is the house is a complete disaster. I have never in my life been struck with such intense buyers remorse than after the purchase of this home. This WILL be my first and last purchase with KB home. The list of issues I have with this house are numerous. To be honest I have never in my life seen such poor craftsmanship in a new construction home. Somehow when whatever you call "warranty" work is done mud gets tracked into my house. The workers never cleanup after themselves and they do work that honestly a high schooler in carpentry class could do a better job. It's an absolute joke that some of the people working on these houses call themselves tradesmen. I don't feel like I come home to a new house every day after work. No, I come home to my little house of nightmares. I paid for a new house but instead I got the used car lot equivalent of one. ... Más

Not Happy with quality of the completion

Found cracks inside and outside of the house,driveways and is not been fixed yet.

As soon as you give them a good review they don’t reply to your calls, voice messages or emails.

I have horrible experience with KB, very slow haven't met any of the timelines they have provided, you will not get answer to your questions, bad quality in most parts and this happens primarily due to time constraints to close. Never ever getting a home through KB Homes

I got home with ceiling fan, the backdoor sliding door was dented. The response from KBhome was super slow. I had to escalate it to corporate office to find the supervisor information and even after that I had to make multiple calls to get a response. Finally they responded but getting the work done is super slow. Also KB home in their base mode (price they put on the website) is a bare bones house. E.g they don't even give handle to door, garage door opener, LED lights as default. These are we need to take as upgrade.

The home was delivered a full six months after it was promised—and the problem was not the pandemic! The problem was the company’s policy of hiring unskilled workers— and perhaps not paying well enough? Management changed on a regular basis—sometimes monthly—and thus there was no accountability. Shockingly bad workmanship throughout the home left us seriously disappointed. The sales team promised high value—and we estimate the house is actually In value about HALF what we paid for it. We moved in and immediately had to start fixing and redoing many finishes! Beware what you are promised by this builder! ... Más

Charges top dollar, delivers DIY quality

As a first time homebuyer I was initally very excited, but as time progressed, I became utterly disappointed with the whole process. The numerous delays, lack of communication and now that we are in the home, there are still a multitude of things wrong with the home, that we have been waiting almost 2 months for to be repaired. I will not buy another KB Home.

Just found out that the downstairs bathroom is flooding our walls around it and now growing mold. Kitchen sink had construction debris, with a wood chip clogged in the Ling causing sputtering and low pressure to the sink. Misaligned windows are still not aligned. Doorknobs installed in the wrong room and installed backwards and a bathroom missing locks. Kitchen GFI and gas stove on the same circuit tripping the outside breaker when even turning on the oven light.

Bad experiences... still need improvement pre-sales and post-sales.

I had my worst experience buying a home from KB.

A lot of talk of doing the right thing not not much really being done. Still not finish with stuff promised would be done before closing and more issue keep being found and things falling part.

Our home isn’t finished! It’s been 2 months since we closed.

Terrible experience. First home buyer been my dream to own a home and my dream was shattered. Multiple unresolved issues months since closing still till today. Very poor responsiveness from builders who is clearly overworked with too many houses. Will do my best to avoid kb homes in the future
