While I have critiqued the quality of the workmanship, this should in no way reflect on the performance of the KB team. Michael, Susan, Hugo, and Alberto are all incredibly good at their respective jobs. The subcontractors, with the exceptions noted above should be chosen more carefully. Perhaps, bringing in local subs would help. I am a project manager for a mid size residential contractor in the bay area and have been in the trades for 20 years. I am happy to sit down with you to discuss some of the issues I have discovered.

We are retirees who had been living/traveling full time in an RV for the past 5 yrs. When we decided to transition back into housing it was a hard decision because our budget is fixed & healthcare/insurance is a new $ surprise every year. First we looked at established homes, but with all of the mold, foundation, repair work we decided on construction. We've been through the remodel, fix up process & it was fun in our 30s. Not so much in the 60s. KB Homes first caught our attention with the energy efficiency. It has been a great decision for us. The process went smoothly & everyone at KB has made every step easier. Now we have a beautiful new landscaped home made to our specifications in a nice community & near the medical center and shopping convenience. We are thankful they helped us along every step of the way.

The Sales and Construction Staff at Legend Pond were fantastic. Our experience with KB's Lending department started off well, but we ended very poorly. Our credit was pulled without our consent towards the end of the process to verify our income. This was done by the processor after we had had a conversation to wait for a bit longer. This caused a myriad of other problems because an account that had been paid off had not recorded causing our credit scores to not come in at the needed score of over 740.
Then at closing there was a mistake on the closing disclosure that cost us an additional $2,000.00 in closing costs. This disclosure had been sent out a number of times and always showed the same numbers until we went to sign the papers. KB took no responsibility for this and basically said, "Sorry, you have to pay the money if you want the house." This is very poor business. We are considering filing complaints with the Real Estate Board, the Better business Bureau as well as the State Attorney General. This bait and switch tactic is unethical and illegal. Had we not been stuck in a small 2 bedroom apartment because lending did not get things ready to close even though the house was ready to move into, we would have walked away from the sale right then. We will never use KB's in house lender again and will strongly advise others to shop around and find a different lender. If you want to make things right, we would love to hear from you.

This was my first home-buying experience, and it was overall a great experience. Going to the KB Home Studio and being able to select all manner of options to really make the home mine was an absolute blast. Everyone I met from KB throughout the process was super friendly and helpful. My one complaint was the pushed closing/move-in date. But I absolutely love my new home!

If I could give one star I would. Worst new house that I have ever bought (and this is my 4th new home purchase). We came from out of state so I could not watch that actual build of our home. We moved in a year ago, and have had nothing but problems since. From a crooked toilet (took them over a year to fix), to an engineer stating that we are having foundation issues. KB Home representatives' views are that we do not have foundation problems and the items we are discussing are normal.
We have wavy walls and ceilings throughout the home that have gotten worse since we moved in. They have fixed them and less than two weeks later the cracks are back in the same areas and the wavy walls and ceilings start to wave again, or walls or ceilings that weren't wavy start to wave. I feel like my home is made out of tissue paper.
They have spilt paint and stucco outside of our home and paint inside our home and still have not come to remedy that issue. They still have not done some of the work the ROC directed them to do because they felt it was not needed, so now we are waiting for the ROC compliance check. I had one KB subcontractor say to me that he told KB the problem with our home a while ago, but it is an expensive fix and KB does not want to pay for the repairs. So frustrating!!!
I am not the only one in my neighborhood having these exact same issues. I personally know of 7 homeowners that are having similar issues as I am and they are having the same amount of difficulty having KB come repair the issues. KB is trying to slap a bandaid on a problem that is bigger. Not to mention all the no-shows of workers who are supposed to be here, so I take time off of work, and they no-show, and we get no call that they are not coming. I am a small business owner, and if I miss work I am out the money. I have no PTO or sick time. This has happened on multiple occasions. Or, we will get a worker ring our doorbell when they are not supposed to be here, or at 6:15 a.m. when they are supposed to be at our home at 8:00 a.m. It is so incredibly frustrating.
I have contacted my warranty contact at KB, her boss, and even the President of the Phoenix division of KB Home, and we still cannot get this resolved. I come from a time when people prided themselves on their workmanship, and this is not the case for KB. Their motto is "Built on Relationships", and I ask, what relationships are they talking about? Between the company and their bank? I know they have not done a great job on building a relationship with us and with many of our neighbors.
I am a Veteran of the USAF and my husband is terminally ill, so we are very compassionate and patient towards others. I fought for my country and I now take care of my husband and work, and KB thinks it's just fine to shaft us with a super faulty home with sub-standard workmanship. My best advice for you all out there in the Phoenix area that if you are in the market to purchase a new home, DO NOT....I repeat...DO NOT choose KB Home as your new home builder. If you do, you will have so much stress and heart ache related to your new home, when it should be a happy time.
I will NEVER BUY a KB Home EVER AGAIN! If I was homeless and on the streets, I would not take a KB Home for free, because the cost to fix the problems that come with our home or some of our neighbors' homes comes at a cost of $40,000 + to repair, and that does not include all the costs we have expended to have home inspections, hiring an engineer, etc!

Have management to be more understanding and work with the home buyers to keep them satisfied. It's really not hard to archive a solid 10 if only KB does not think only about their pocket. 30% of HOA rules and regulations are just unacceptable and unrealistic. Why having a centralized mailbox system on a House community? What was wrong with individual mailboxes? Centralized mailboxes and good for apartment buildings not individual houses. I don't think I would recommend KB Home to others. Unless someone in higher management step up and start listening and caring about people who just spent over 3/4 Million Dollar with KB Home.

Very easy and pleasant home purchase. Originally wanted to use our own bank for the loan, but KB financing far exceeded the others. Being able to go to a design center to add our own touches was very important to my wife. The sales staff was extremely helpful and always updated us with info and photos of the build. Construction staff was equally informative with the build and available for all our questions. After the build, warranty team gives a ton of great info and very helpful as well. As a new home buyer we were initially stressed of the process of the unknown, but the entire KB Team made it very pleasant and stress free.

You get a fair and efficient process working with a national builder. Our home was delivered a week earlier than the stated closing date, so nothing was delayed. Everything is boilerplate so you won't be overwhelmed with choices or things to review. You get a budget-friendly cookie cutter home that you can customize with design options but is pretty lacking in quality or workmanship in the quality of the home's materials. Overall, the team was easy enough to work with albeit with slow response times. But don't expect much follow through for warranty requests under the seemingly generous warranty period.

My KB Home experience has not worked out the way they explained it. They only give you one year of maintenance on most items when you build a new home. I had a number of problems with the my house and they kept saying that the house will settle after a year or two. After fixing most of these problems during that first year, the problems came back. I called and they said no problem, we will take care of it. But when They come out, they tell me that we need to wait to get the repairs, because it takes about 4 to five years for the house to settle. I was pissed because they changed what they originally said and my house is looking a mess inside and out.
After 5 years of building this home, KB Home representative told me that these items are not covered. I wish I would have went with a different builder. I will not recommend anyone to build with KB Home Houston. I have cracks in exterior, leaking roof, moisture in my windows, the carpet in every bedroom has humps in them.

I was absolutely shocked at what we could get with KB Home, even with thousands of dollars in upgrades, on a corner lot, on a greenbelt, in this area of town. It was a no-brainer. From the moment we went to the sales office for the first time, to picking out everything at the studio (which was a blast, by the way), to the frame walk once the bones of the house were finished, to completion, the KB team was easily available to get in contact with and were always happy to help. We financed through KBHS Home Loans (after we'd been in contact with a Veteran-specific company before we went to KB) and the service at KBHS was better, by far.
For a brand new, energy efficient house built EXACTLY to our specifications (like, dream house quality), the cost was incredible. I'm talking tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than the same house, but 5-10 years older, a few miles away. And it's not for lack of quality; everything is top notch from the inside out, and the team was happy to complete any touchups needed after we moved in. We have a great appliance (2 years) and foundation warranty (10 years).

When we first decided to move to Tucson we drove the entire city looking at new build construction sites. KB, by far, had the best prices and the best customer service. They took the time to make sure that we understood the models and pricing. They didn't look at my wife and me as just another number. Throughout the process they were accommodating with us being out of state and expecting a new baby. They delivered a quality home on schedule as promised. Not only did they deliver us a quality home as promised, but they are still there when we need them. No matter what time or what day it is, they will always respond to a text and take care of any issues. Henk and Tom have been amazing. We are completely satisfied!

We were attracted to this home built by KB Home because of the school district, the fact it was brand new, the square footage, and the price when considering those other factors. Once we started working with people in the process, such as David in sales and Jason in construction out here at Creeks of Legacy, our home buying experience was facilitated with such ease, I almost regret having, and effectively spending money on, a buying agent (though she was nice and a good person herself) because the process was as streamlined as it should have been. These folks come across like real people who genuinely want to help instead of money-hungry wolves in sheep's clothing. The home has been great. There's not much else to say.

Original Review: Sept. 12, 2019
Good day, I am writing this message with a heavy heart and the stress that is now placed on my shoulder and my family. After years of sacrifices and hard work as a nurse, I was able to purchase my brand new KB home in 2016. At this moment, I was happy to finally own my dream home and the security of a brand new house with all the warranty. Throughout the first 2 yrs, I have had electrical and building/construction issues which was fixed by KB. In 2018, I had concerns of foundation/structural damages due to the cracks and slipping of my driveway. I was later told by KB that this was cosmetic, due to the rain, land and settling. I was not happy, however again I trusted KB and the fact that I purchased a new house.
Currently A leak was discovered and brought to my attention by my neighbor. Upon further inspection, I realized this was away from the meter and something that SAW (our water provider) will not consider their problem. A plumber was called in, after digging to locate the leak he advises me on the issues: He recommends contacting the builder/contractor as he thinks the leaking is within the foundation, he sees crack where the water is coming from within the foundation. Possible due to slipping/dropping of the foundation. I contacted KB, and my worst fears are now a reality. KB denied any foundation damages or poor plumbing work.
At the same time of denying any foundation damages that could damage the pipes, the inspector who came out (Jared **) agree to pour cement in the cracks of the driveway because of the severity of cracks and steel showing. The sad part of the issue and my question is in the question of the quality and material of the work that kb does. With a 3 yr old house to be having major underground plumbing issues, in my opinion was just robbery. I was robbed of good quality work by KB. I was robbed of the security in purchasing a new home vs an older home.
I am not a plumber, but it does not take a genius to know if better quality work was done by the builder/contracted plumber I would not be having major plumbing issues in a house that is barely 3 yrs old. I do hope that you can find it in your heart to assist with fixing this issue. If not, I hope better consideration is used with the contractors going forward. I might be of the minority, but I will inform and educate anyone and every one possible on the quality of work done by KB and of my experience. KB homes are not the most expensive on the market, but at the same time to be ripped off is not good business ethic. As a result, most of KB homeowners like myself are not millionaires. We are average American trying to make a living and be comfortable in the average American dream. Thank you.

Wish I could give negative Stars. We purchased our home October 31st 2018. Which in itself was a hassle due to them not having their stuff together. Missed deadlines. People not being able to show up or come out and not being able to get ahold of anybody. We had to contact KB and set up our 10-day walk through since we had heard nothing from them. On our 10 day walkthrough we discovered a number of issues that they were given a list for, these issues still have not been fixed (including zero insulation in our roof). We have had to contact them over and over again to try to get our 30-day and 90-day walk-through while still them not completing the issues from our 10-day walkthrough.
In two more months it will be our year walk through and they still have not fixed stuff from our 10-day walkthrough. We have continually tried to contact by phone and email KB and we have heard nothing back. Unfortunately our next option will be small claims court. If you wish to have a professional and good experience buying your first home do not go through KB!

We have had a terrible experience buying a brand new home with KB. From the quality and workmanship- crooked walls, mold on building materials, and paint drippings. They fixed it one by one only after we refused to sign off on inspection of the home. With cosmetic issues still present, KB started pushing us to sign off the home so what we could close (because the end of the month was near) and demanding we close by the end of the month or pay a $250/ day fee for failing to proceed.
Additionally, we were forced to close because they couldn’t bear to carry the house on to the next month due to the shareholders and the stock market effects. Closing within 5 hours of signing the official notarized documents, yet we were told we would have to wait the following day because the office agent left early. We were funded and closed, recorded as the owners on OUR NEW HOME yet they decided to make us wait until the following day to give us our keys. Another item We are just now finding out about, is that we were misguided about the HOA fees. we were told that the HOA fees were $125 per month and would go down as the development was built up. surprisingly, we are now finding out as read on the closing documents that they are actually $180 a month!

There should be an opening where the solid metal piece is so that the plastic piece could go up into window when you close them. I have called KB Home and they sent a technician out. They said the windows were installed wrong and that he tried to get in touch with the company that installed the windows and that they have left town and that KB Home will not do anything to fix them.
I would think that KB Home would be responsible for the work the window contractor did since it is their name on the home. My daughter has a three year old handicap child at home and now knowing that she can not lock her windows and that someone could break in any time is worrisome for me her mother.

I have reached out to Donna ** (Sr. Manager Customer Relations), Lara ** (Regional Sales Manager) and Linda ** (Sales Agent Tanglewood) in addition to the lying Sales Manager, Justin and NONE of them will help me.

The whole process from our first walk through the model homes to closing and even the support afterwards has been so personal and much less stressful than it would've been without such talented, responsive, professional and capable leaders. The design center experience was so much fun despite the pressure of so many choices. The support and communication from our sale representative and construction manager throughout the building process was phenomenal. And now that we've moved in and are enjoying our new home, we continue to be impressed with amazing customer service and support. We can honestly highly recommend KB Homes to others and be excited for their journey. Huge thank you to the KB family!

At times throughout the buying experience, I feel that the different parts of KB weren't communicating well with each other, until pressed by customer to do so. I found this annoying, considering I accepted KB services for all parts of the transaction, that it could perform. In other words, I did not shop around for a lender and such, expecting the KB entities to work seamlessly together. I don't believe that is what happened and would shop the competition on all fronts, in the future, based on this current experience.

Great company with long history, which delivers great homes. Unlike many other companies KB does not mess around and has a simple model - build it well and move on. These days I rarely hear any complaints about KB, unlike about many other builders around, that constantly go into court and battle over their failing houses. Staff is experienced and great, easy to work and most importantly - all staff members always communicate on time and provide weekly updates.

When the process began I felt things were going along smoothly. Robert ** was the sales agent that was my point of contact. He was very nice but to be honest did not follow up nor was attentive as a salesperson should be. Most of the information I received was from the app I downloaded and Belinda **. I'm disappointed with what feels like a deception on a option that was given. I informed Mr. ** I had reservations on the purchase because of the 500 dollar HOA fee. He came back with a resolution that management offered to pay it for 3 years. Come to find out there's also a street reservation fee that he did not mention to me. I gotta say when I saw the HOA bill for 700 and plus I was upset. I tried contacting both Bob and Belinda but still no response.

After shopping around within our desired area, we kept coming back to KB. We toured several other builders and felt KB offered more "bang for your buck" than the others. We then fell in love with their floor plans and finishes. We believe for our money, KB offered the best value. What we did not realize in the beginning, was just how much value we would receive from the KB staff.
Though the purchase of a home can be confusing, then add onto that the fact we were building a new home versus buying an existing home, you can understand our initial struggles and reservations. All of the stress quickly melted away once we started communicating to the KB staff. From the sales team, to the KB Studio staff, to the Loan team, the Construction team, and the warranty department. Everyone along the way has gone above and beyond their duties to help us feel at ease, and take the extra time required to answer all of our questions and address all of our concerns. Now that we have moved into our custom built masterpiece, we regret we will no longer be interacting with the wonderful KB staff.

First off, lets start with the reason most people are drawn to KB Homes is they're cheaper than other homes. With this in mind, the phrase know what you're getting comes into play. Being cheaper means cheaper materials, cheaper building practices and cheaper subcontractors. I can only speak to my personal experience and opinions, so take this with a grain of salt. I was lucky to live literally around the corner while they were building my house, so I was there almost every day. I am all about cheap, and when it comes to materials, I am ok with cheaper. Those things I can have some control over if I treat them well (my philosophy, anyway).
As for building practices, from what I can tell, their practices are pretty standard, just the cheapest version. For instance, KB uses non-structural sheathing and engineered joists as opposed to structural and manufactured joists. Basically, this means that they are using cardboard stapled and taped together to the outside of the frame rather than OSB or plywood. Think about a picture frame with a cardboard back, you can pretty easily break the frame. Now use a piece of plywood instead. You would have a much harder time bending or breaking the frame. This also causes the water intrusion issues that KB is known for because the builders constantly are poking holes in the cardboard and the fix is to just put some tape over the hole (more on my personal experience with that later).
If you get a 2 story house, the second floor will be on engineered joists which (in my opinion) are nowhere near as sound as manufactured joists. The result is a second floor that squeaks and creaks like a 100 year old Victorian. My experience with the contractors was not that great. There are holes in the mortar and the slab/patio have big chips and cuts in them and are crumbling in places, which lead me to believe that they used too much sand (cheap). My house is only 5 months old. There are standard issues like corners not being square and edges not meeting and so on, but the biggest issue I had is this:
My house was built during a particularly stormy few months. In the final stages (carpet wasnt in yet), I found a big puddle of water in the upstairs master bedroom. I told the super and he said it was fixed later that day. An attic vent had blown off the roof. Went back 2 days later and there was the huge puddle again. Called him back and he said it was fixed; it was something else this time. OK. Went back the next day and now there was a puddle and the sheetrock was soaked down the wall.
Now, I was getting upset, but still... I had the super and the sales man come over and they tore down the sheet rock to discover mold everywhere and where the vent had been, a hole in the roof that the roofer had just slapped some shingles over. This was their "fix" and if it hadn't been raining, they would have gotten away with it... So, they apologized and remediated it and put a new piece of roof deck down. (I was mad). A couple days later, they said it was fixed (again). Went to look and, yes, the sheetrock was back up and all looked ok (except the water stain on the OSB floor). Great. Wait. They never put the insulation back in the wall. My point is this. KB builds cheap homes. Which isn't inherently bad, it just causes huge problems when something goes a little wrong. I wouldn't say they flat out lied to me, but, if left to work on their own, they will do the absolute minimum required to get the house out of their hands.
