    The home buying process is nerve racking and especially if you're building a new home. I enjoyed that I had one to three calls a week from the construction and/or the loan staff. I felt that if we had any questions they were answered quickly.

    We started the build process thinking that KB built quality homes at a reasonable price. What we found is that quality is only there when you force the issue and check up on them during the build process. Be ready for phrases like "that is how we have always done it", "that is normal" and "we only do it this way". First thing you should know is that these are engineered homes. This means that the walls are built somewhere else and will show up on a big flatbed. The quality of the wood is terrible. It is like they went shopping for the worst looking pieces of lumber available. I counted over 50 studs that I would have thrown aside if I was picking them out at Lowe's or Home Depot. For our build only the front and back walls are reinforced with OSB.

    The side walls are reinforced with a sheeting product. When I saw this and expressed concern and even offered to by the OSB to reinforce the sides of my home, I was hit with a definitive no. You can't call yourself a custom builder if you won't even budge on letting your customer pay for OSB and installation. We hired a independent inspector and forced an inspection before the insulation and drywall went up. He caught several things, the biggest issues were related to how the roof was tied down. They claimed to address it but we really couldn't tell because the drywall was thrown up quickly. The quality of the exterior painting was terrible. In the afternoon evening light you could see the spray lines. I complained and they painted it again.

    The next big issue was the bathrooms, the tub surround in the one and the shower stall in the other. They used cement board and then patched the seams with fiberglass tape and joint compound. It should have been mortar. Joint compound is fine for drywall but a time bomb for tub and shower areas. I sold tile for 10 years. This is one of those times where I got the "this is how we always do it" response. They said they were going to move forward and do it how they always did it. I pointed out that they did not follow the manufacturer's specifications for installation and I would be willing to fight them on it. They threatened to continue the build and sell my home as a spec home if I refused to close. I asked them if they thought they could sell it with a lien against it for the amount of my deposit.

    They magically offered to use the sealant called Red. That worked for me. Next big thing was the island in the kitchen. When I looked at it I could tell it wasn't level. The project manager said it looked good to him. I put a ball in the center and watched it roll to the side. It turned out the center was higher than all the rest of it. It took two more tries to get it right. Next, every window sill had saw marks. I pointed it out. Caulk was how they fixed it the first time. So instead of saw marks there was now excessive caulk. Caulk was also the go to weapon for every trim corner in our home.

    We were in the home with the project manager looking at the Red application and the finish carpenter was putting the trim around the island in the kitchen. I watched him cut the trim too long and then use his hammer to force it into place. The end result was the trim was now pushing out in both places where it intersected with other trim pieces. They had to redo that twice. After being in the home. We found that the flashing was done wrong in the back of the house and actually resulted in water being directed into the back wall. Fortunately the water did not get to the drywall. Many studs had to be replaced and the installed OSB that sat out in the rain for 2 days. I made them redo it.

    During the repairs the new project manager got chatty and shared that they no longer use the roofer that did all the roofs in our neighborhood because of quality issues. They replaced the flashing between the house and the patio roof. They used turn back flashing that has a C channel to prevent water from running under the roof. Do your research, step flashing is the right way to do it. When I asked about that, the project manager acknowledged that step flashing is the best way to do it but that they didn't do that.

    When they pulled the back of my house apart to fix it, I noticed that none of the windows were properly flashed. They only used four nails to hold each 6-foot window in place. No nails on the top or bottom. When they first put it back together the outside trim around the window did not lay flat where it intersected with other trim. Each intersection of trim had at a quarter of an inch depth difference. When they replaced the siding on the house along the roof line it resulted in a very crooked cut line. Bottom line. Watch them like a hawk. Oh, and I will never buy another KB home.

    KB Home is a great option for first time buyers looking to customize every detail of the home. The sales team is very friendly and not pushy at all. Our experience with Bert was that he truly cared vs. some salespeople only looking to sell you something and profit from it. The Design Studio has many options to choose from and offer great selections. Our contractor John kept us informed on construction and helped explain the inner workings of the home. Overall very happy so far in our first 2 months.

    After 1 month of living in my newly constructed KB Home, I can say with honesty that the experience has actually been a great pleasure. For our first home buying experience, the sales staff, construction process, studio selection process and closing were all relatively smooth and problem-free. We had small issues along the way regarding negotiation of pricing, construction/design concerns, appraisal issues and closing, however, the KB Homes staff provided excellent customer service throughout and in the end, they provided exactly what we wanted.

    In this first month, the warranty service has been responsive and helpful. While scheduling has taken a little longer then I would have liked, the staff has always made great effort to make sure my concerns get resolved and to keep in touch with me to make sure I am satisfied. Since it has only been 1 month, I cannot give my 100% recommendation yet for KB Homes. Although, I can say that based off of my experience so far, I would recommend KB Homes for home buying. I am eager to see how my home keeps up throughout time, and only then will I determine how truly satisfied I am with KB Homes and whether or not they are truly worth the recommendation.

Each time, they found nothing wrong even though light bulbs continuously blew out. I have had to hire an electrician to do some rewiring and need to call an electrician again due to some lights 'humming' when turned on and my porch light not coming on and my security light continuously going out. I called KB Homes when I lost power in the rear of my house and was told, "Sorry. Your warranty has expired".

    My husband and I could not be happier for having chosen KB to construct our new home. From the quality of the construction, to the outstanding staff dedicated to making your home buying experience a good one, I don't think we could have done better. The reason I say this, and I know there are many other great homebuilders, KB did not stop in just offering nice home models, or great quality construction, KB also took into account a homebuyer's additional home costs by constructing with EnergyStar Certified homes saving us utility costs and protecting our environment. From the HVAC system, the types of faucets included that controls the water flow, saving you money, to the CFL lighting, energy saving appliances from a well-named brand and many other energy saving features.

    We would not hesitate in referring friends and family to buy with KB. The additional features offered for the community are also excellent. The beautiful landscaping, enormous olympic size pool with lots of chairs, safety first children's play area, an enclosed dog park for the furry babies and many other community features.

    Many new construction homes are not much different nowadays. Maybe different quality of materials and different size of home. And locations, etc. Out of all that I think the most important matter is who you meet at the first place and how they are. If I did meet someone else besides Angie, I might bought my house from other builder. Starting from her I met several people from KB Home. They are all trustworthy people.

Our initial closing date was scheduled even before our walkthrough was scheduled. We constantly had the feeling they were trying to hurry and get us to close. The construction manager Bill ** has been great fixing our issues but he seems so very busy. He along with our sales consultant Robbie Moreno have by far been the highlight of our experience with KB though We still have issues with our home that are still being worked on. I kind of expected a bit better quality in a new home.

    Buyer beware!! If you are contemplating buying a home built by KB Home, please, please, please, beware. You better get a separate, private home inspection done before assuming occupancy of your home or you will soon regret it. As much as I would like to give this builder a zero, I can't. My experience with KB was initially a good one, at least with the sales staff. I bought my home some 12 years ago from KB, built from the ground up and paid upwards of $250,000 for it. Due to the shoddy construction of my home, my house is now currently falling apart around me. Not from poor upkeep, but from shoddy construction.

    In September and then October of 2018 during the hurricanes that hit the region, I discovered that rain was pouring through my living room windows. I filed a claim with my insurer who promptly advised me that the damage to my home was a result of improperly installed j-channels and siding and refused to pay for the repairs to my home. I reached out to KB and over the past few months have found out that they really don't give a damn about you. In short, they refused me assistance because I was past my 10 year warranty period stating that I would have (somehow have bionic vision seeing damage formulating in the interior of my walls) noticed the damage if it were from poor construction.

    The damage to my home was very extensive, and was due to water infiltrating behind the j-channels for years (the last 12 years) and rotting out the OSB walls, 2 by 4s, joist, support beams, etc. This required a full reconstruction of the right side of my home. KB REFUSED TO HELP ME causing me to take a $40,000 HELOC to fix the repairs. All through this time I had been in communications with KB, particularly Sean **, who is a regional manager(?) of KB. He was assigned to assist me by KB. This man lacks total compassion. After sending them umpteen pictures of the damage to my home which displaced me for a month and resulted in my hospitalization from the black mold found in the walls, they still refused to assist me.

    Fast forward a few months in, after completing repairs to the initial area, my contractor noticed sagging over my garage in an area where the j-channel was also used by KB as some form of decoration. Well, last week, my contractor pulled apart that wall and found more extensive damage over the garage. This after my garage door caved in because of what we now know was rotten land beams. In essence, all of the land beams (every layer of the 6 used in the original construction) supporting the upper floors above the garage has rotted out. When this was discovered, I revisited my efforts to have KB assist with the repairs. After having me wait over a week, on the vise that he was going to speak to his superiors, Mr. ** told me in no uncertain terms that "our position has not change". In other words, give it up. We (KB) don't give a damn.

    I have been patiently trying to deal with KB, yet, time and time again, this cold, callous company who gladly pocketed my money, refused to assist. Telling me that I should have seen what was going on in the walls. Even a professional contractor would not have anticipated that the house they had built would 12 years later fall apart around them. Not even a professional contract would have bionic vision to see damage forming inside the walls of their home, particularly when there was NO EVIDENCE on the interior walls that every time it rained, the J-Channel would collect water and shoot it over the top of the j-channel and behind the siding which ultimately rotted out walls that should have lasted the duration of the existence of the home. This is a crying shame. KB HOME will pocket your money and hang you out to dry afterwards.

    In addition, my contractor after inspecting the roof, discovered substantial grit (hands full) from the roof shingles in the gutters on the roof, indicating that the roof is also deteriorating quickly and will also need immediate attention. So basically, I paid KB $250,000+ to build my home. Now 12 years later, I had to put a second mortgage on my home to cover damages for the repairs, and still had to find more money out of pocket to cover what is now upwards of $60,000 worth of damages to my home. If this were unique to just my home, it would be one thing. But several other homeowners in my community are plagued with the same issues. Water pouring through their windows when it rain, sagging beams across their garage door (which in and of itself pose serious risks to those entering/leaving the garage), black mold, mildew and rotted out exterior walls hidden behind the siding.

    KB Home, YOU SUCK. The home I have grown to love is now the bane of my existence. Not to mention the numerous medical issues both my daughter and myself have suffered over the years resulting in numerous hospital visits and hospitalizations from what has been now revealed to me as the side effects of black mold exposure. Don't Buy KB Homes.

They charged me full price with no concessions. They came back saying that it was an upgrade and no where on my contract states the window sizes or sliding door sizes. The manager said that there are signed in the models stating that the model isn't what you get!!!

    I went to the model and there were no signs and I mentioned that to the manager and he oh well its in the contract and I already signed for it!

    KB Home was a good first time home buyer experience for me, being able to pick out all of the features for the home from countertops to light fixtures to carpet color was by far the best part of buying a brand new home since you are able to get exactly what you want from the beginning. You do pay a premium for brand new, but you also get a very energy efficient home that will likely need little to no repairs for years to come. KB seems to stand behind their product and takes feedback seriously if you have any complaints, they are also very receptive to fixing any issues as they come up. I did not use their in-house lender as they misplaced my original paperwork and delayed my approval process by a couple of weeks which left a bad taste in my mouth over the poor handling of my application, but the house is great and I'm glad I made the purchase.

    Overall I am really happy with the customer service I received in this buying process from the sales agent & the construction team did a good job. But I was extremely disappointed from the KB loan department, took extremely long time with my loan process and to have them at the end refusing to approve my loan because of the fact we have same last name as my realtor agent. A lot of people have common last name but that doesn't mean they are all related.

    Also the fact the underwriter & the loan supervisor were so lazy that they were requesting the same things/information as the other person had asked in the same email a day before showed the fact that they lacked proper communication with each other. At times I was really angry & frustrated but thanks to Misty for always making sure the things didn't get out of control & had me assured that things will be ok & gave me a different loan company that really speeded the process and finally after a month & half later from the original promised date, we finally got our home. Again I am thankful for Misty & great work ethic to help with this process.

Everything, every step, every process was explained with ZERO surprises along the way. Staff was very friendly and took as much time needed to answer everything we threw at them. They never once made us feel like we were just "another sale".

Next, having a Construction Superintendent that is knowledgeable and can explain the building process thoroughly. Having a loan officer that can answer your questions and if they don’t have the answer taking the time to research and get you the answer. Then finally after closing, your Construction's Superintendent and Sales Rep stop by to make sure that you are settling in okay and that you don’t have any issues with your new home.

    First lesson to learn is never even look at a new house without an agent. We made that mistake and we were in trouble already at the beginning of the process. Initially when we looked at the house we thought it was little high, however when the lady at the model home contacted us back they had dropped the price a little for end of the year close. She sent me a text. In the text it says (and I have the text as proof) "We have a 4br 2ba single story home for $319,990 and we have a lot for it". So we went there and she said she needed a $5000 deposit to secure the lot, and lock in the price. So we cut them a check and they ran our numbers through finance and we got our pre-approval.

    About a week later the check cashed and we were invited to go to the design center and pick out our options. Upon arriving at the design center the lady said, "Let me pull up your information." When she pulled up our information it said that the total cost of the house was $323,990. I said, "Wait a minute. That's $4000 more than we were quoted!" So then she pulled up the screen that showed our pre-approval and it said that we were pre-approved for $319,990. This did not make any sense, we already paid them 5000 so the total should have been 314,990 left. So we contacted the lady at the model house and she said that was because there was a lot premium of $4000 but in the email it said that she had lots for the house. She said, "Well you have to put your house somewhere. Haha. Lol."

    She said the base price is $319,990. I said, "So you can't get the base model for $319,000." She said, "Yes you do." I said, "Where are they gonna put the house, are you gonna build it in the air?!" It has to sit somewhere. So basically they used the word "Premium" as their excuse to charge us $4000 extra dollars instead of telling me up front in the text, "Hey we have a house and a lot and the cost is $323,990 not $319,990+$4000," and she never did make it clear. We thought the $5000 deposit was coming off $319,000 not $323,990. Never was that clear until after they cashed our $5000 deposit, and at that point if you want out they will keep that money, and if you're doing the math and wonder what happened to the other $1000 I have no idea. My wife and I are now considering walking away and contacting a lawyer if they don't resolve this issue.

I am speaking about the wall where the house number is located, and I have verified that it has a slope by use of a level checker. The other issue is that the wrong doors were installed, they are quite similar to the ones that are in the home now, so we did not notice until after we had finalized all of the paperwork and closed.

    Upon first arrival at the KB model home in Heron Isles we were treated by Charles ** the sales member on site. He was very warm and welcoming and made me and my fiance feel right at home. There was another couple that was talking to the construction super so Charles took us into the model and walked us around telling us all about the Home and its upgrades that it had. I believe that because of how Mr. ** was able to explain the floor plans and options and because he took the time to walk with us around several models that he was a major factor in us deciding to purchase a home from KB Homes.

    I've turned in my 1-year warranty items. It was a specific list provided by an inspector. One month later the contractors were scheduled to come to my home. I've had to follow up several times with the warranty contact, and the contact admitted to dropping the ball. I've taken time off work and not all of the contractors were scheduled. I'm extremely disappointed in Round Rock, Texas.

    With the overall experience I've had so far, if I could do it all over again I'd most likely buy a KB Home. It fits my families needs in today market. I just wish the attention to detail was there. Like the attention to detail that was provided with my in-laws new home by Taylor **. We lived in that new home until our KB Home was built. Comparisons are inevitable due to recent living in 2 new homes, and that's why I'm disappointed in the finished product (comparatively speaking). I have a nice KB Home, but there are obvious and definitive levels to builder's quality.

    We loved our KB Home experience! Everything went so smoothly from start to finish. Everyone we worked with was very friendly and helpful. Our construction supervisor was fantastic and communicated with us weekly about the progress of our home. It was amazing seeing the process from lot to home. The hardest part was just waiting for it to be done because we were so excited to move in! Only thing I would do differently is make two separate studio appointments instead of both appointments in one day. We will definitely recommend KB Home to our friends and family!

    Angie was absolutely amazing. We are excited for our shutters to get put on, she knew us well! I had to request updates on the loans, the rates were not competitive, I had to get another loan quote to show them that we qualified for far better rates than they were offering. At one point to get a response I had to reach out to the manager to get an update. Further, I had an experience where I asked her as she was "matching" my quote where we were on that, we waited 5 full business days for a response to find out that the person who was analyzing it was on vacation. She should have known this from the get go. That is unacceptable. I know she was screening my calls because I would call, not leave a message, and a couple of minutes later get an email about the loan. That's not OK. Pick up the phone and talk to me.

    I will say the person, Linda, who was helping me through underwriting did a great job! There were absolutely no issues with her service. Rosa was unresponsive and went on vacation twice during the processing of my loan without at least letting me know with a simple email. Danny when I discussed with him the concerns about the financing and how long it was going, he would reply with, "I'm sorry this isn't going to YOUR expectation, we've done this a lot, YOUR expectation is too high." I've purchased and sold four houses, I know how the process should go. It's not hard. It's their job to meet me where I am and make it easy. This is accomplished through solid communication and understanding. I would never use this loan company again, even if you were offering me a ton of down-payment assistance. I'd eat it.

    I had a concern before we closed, and voiced this to Angie **, and the construction foreman, I think his name was Tony, and he said the tree was fine. I still have some major concern about the tree. I think it's going to or is dying. Further, I was told they'd do a deep clean on the house before we moved in. There is still construction debris on the window in the stairwell, which I will have to purchase a ladder and clean, a couple of the light shades in the kitchen and dining room were cracked (not too worried about this because I plan on buying new ones), there are screws that are now showing heads in the master shower (I can fix this, but I shouldn't have to), the water heater is throwing an error and beeping now, I need to call on that, but apparently it's gone back for a while, because the history shows it does, which is scary.

    The driveway has divots in it which when the rain comes they fill with water and stay wet. I did also ask before we closed if all of the sprinklers and drip lines work, I have since found out the drip lines on the plants that were there when this was a parking lot are NOT actually hooked up. I asked that the plants be replaced that had died on that hedgerow.

    Very disappointed with this experience. Sales staff was great, lender was great, construction was great. The issue was the CORPORATE OFFICE. We are extremely disappointed with the fact that the corporate office absolutely refused to respond to phone calls, emails, and other requests to speak to them. They never showed us the courtesy of returning a phone call. This shows us how they valued us. We were denied a new homebuyer's incentive that was being offered to new customers at approximately the same time we began the process of purchasing our home. KB still has not even attempted to make this right. FOR THIS REASON I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND KB HOMES TO ANYONE. You still have a chance to make this right. Someone from corporate can call me or you can simply ignore this because you already sold the home and you've been paid. It's up to you.

I did not question the status on the sale, builder, or lender because I was kept in constant contact with each party. They also kept each other informed which helped in case I spoke to any of them and they were able to relay the message.

    We bought a KB home two years ago... We had a small ranch, built to order for over half a million dollars. The landscaping is the cheapest they can put into the homes and so are the plumbing fixtures. But we can replace those and live with that. Our lot was across from an open area that we were promised was going to look like a "park." What we got is a "native" grass weed lot that matches any intercity vacant lot I have ever been to. When we go to the meetings to complain, we are told though... "That's what the city approved and that's all we are going to do." They lied to us and they will lie to you. Good luck if you don't heed this warning.

    Original Review: June 24, 2018

    I actually thought using a large and well known company such as KB would provide my wife and I protection in an area (home loan) we had little knowledge. BE CAREFUL. Not knowing that the shorter time you "locked" your rate, the lower the rate. Because we will pay for our home for 30 years, ummmm, this is pretty important. Our KB rep, Doug, sent us a rate and estimated mortgage, tax and insurance monthly amount. We understood this was an estimate and also understood this estimate wouldn't be perfect. BUT, knowing our home wouldn't close escrow for 90-days, Doug provided us what was called a "21-day-lock."

    Two weeks later we receive a rate a FULL POINT higher. You see, it was simply a means of keeping us moving forward, while Doug absolutely KNEW that rate was incorrect the day he sent it. Now we've sold our home and are stuck unless we want to break our word with the lovely people buying our home. We would not do that because we gave them our word. KB, can't you? I don't expect you to adjust our rate (770 credit score!), I simply expect you to provide the same "credit" you give us to use your dishonest people so we can go deal with an honest company with your same guarantee we were counting on. We'll see if they can step up...

I had a tight timeline due to issues with a previous offer that ended being too close to a sinkhole. I was tired when I began my talk with KB Home and thought I would delay my home purchase for a year.
