My home is now just over a year old. I love my home and neighborhood. The buying process was simple and the support I received was just "okay". As a recently single woman, I admit I was not real savvy on the electrical selections however, I purchased an additional outlet in the pantry specifically for a microwave. The design consultant failed to mention or recommend a dedicated outlet. So not only did I pay extra for an outlet, it is inadequate and shorts out everything in my kitchen should I operate more than one thing (including the oven). Therefore, it is a complete nuisance. Every day I have to go out to the circuit panel and reset the kitchen. This was not something I noticed until being at home for extended periods of time and when I spoke to the Customer Service representatives, they suggested I hire a third party contractor to make the change as there was nothing they could do to remedy the situation. Again, I love my home and the overall process but I am disappointed with the lack of care with the design studio and customer service representatives or their lack of interest in fixing the problem. The community is otherwise great, relatively quiet and pleasant to live in. The home was a good value and competitively priced. The advanced technology and safety features in the home including the fire sprinklers were a pleasant surprise as it has been several years since I purchased a new home. I am happy with my purchase. Just wish I didn't have to blow a fuse every time I run the microwave. Monterey Village Community Elk Grove, Ca read more

Been in our Brand new KB home for 6 months. We picked our upgrades and our home is beautiful. We enjoyed watching it being built and being a part of the process. Bill was fantastic. Once in the other homes went up all around us. Kind of feel like we're in a condo project. That said, we still love our home with a few dissatisfactions. Buyers READ ALL THE HOA RULES before you sign. Our home doesn't seem cheap like some of the reviews. It's beautiful and nice quality. It's what you make of it. Our home has already increased in value. The area is nice close to schools shopping and the airport. The home is solar. Windows are reflective, and when inside you can barley hear the jets. It's very quiet inside. Great insulation and super effective HVAC system. If your in the market for a new home and no maintenance front yard, then this is the builder for you. Theses homes are nice for retirees as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND KB. read more

Kb Home North Bay - Large spacious kitchen with lots of storage. Large counter enough for 5 chairs. - General Contractors Near Me - Sacramento, California

I waited a few weeks before I started to write a review. We are one of the many bay area transplants, driven out by dot comers in the housing market. Ok we did almost purchase a house in Hayward, gave our deposit and everything but after paying a couple of thousands of dollars for inspection, we found out that our future bay area home was being held up by one nail! Ok, an exaggeration but not far from it. While it looked cute and well kept by the owners, underneath all the froufrou, were the very expensive repairs that is due of a 59 year old rancher home. Aside from the almost $600k price tag, there were at least $50 k's worth of repair, not to mention the obvious cracks on the driveway which hubby and I pretended we didn't notice. We were devastated to find out about the costly repairs so we decided to take our losses from having the inspection and walk away from it! That was when we looked towards Sacramento as a possible place for our dream home. While far from the bay area, it was still in California and reasonably close enough for a weekend day trip when we miss our old stomping grounds. First sales office we saw was the KB model homes with the Montauk, Westbury and Stony brook model homes. Boy, we fell in love instantly, having been jilted by the bay area housing frenzy! We walked into the Montauk model homes not smelling 59+ years of foundation, roof and walls! Oh yeah, un-cracked driveway was the standard, all for half the price of the run down house in the bay area! Long story short, we gave our deposit right there and then without having knowledge of the area. Crazy I know but we figured if we were willing to pay twice for all the headache that the bay area home for twice the amount of this KB home, then it was not too bad of a trade off! Sooooo glad we did that! It had been nothing but the best experience with KB since. We were a bit apprehensive about the negative KB reviews online but we decided to arm ourselves with all of the information so we had ammunition for when we did our initial walk through, visit with the design gallery, financing (we used KB) and of course the final walk through! From start to finish, our interaction with the salesperson, Peggy Sue was nothing but spectacular. She sent us updates via pictures of our home as it was being built. She was a true pleasure to work with! The foreman, Matt and later on Keith, they have been so easy to work with. We've ran into Keith in the neighborhood during our daily walk with our dogs and he has been very welcoming. Alex from the design studio was also a gem to work with. In fact, even the receptionist (sorry, I forgot her name) was also very friendly. Last but not the least was Norm, who is the customer service person. He is so awesome and have been so diligent in checking up on us in terms of how we are settling in in our new home. He addresses any of our concerns immediately. I am so glad that hubby and I went with KB. We had nothing but great interaction with all of the key players. We have even referred a good friend of ours from the bay area to KB and is now on escrow! If you are ready to take the leap into a brand new home, yes away from the bay area but very affordable, I highly recommend working with KB homes. It has been a painless process for us and 2 mos after moving in, we are still very, very happy of our decision. Listen, moving was very stressful but KB folks made it bearable. Thank you Peggy Sue, Alex, Matt, Rachel, Christine, Keith and especially Norm! read more

Kb Home North Bay - a collage of photos of a house under construction - General Contractors Near Me - Sacramento, California

Do not buy A KB home! They're built in 80 days. Cheap made and the customer service is the worst. The management team is horrible When you have an issue with your home. Quarry is not there. KB homes management and office will sell you a story didn't tell you anything you want to hear in order for you to purchase a home. The KB design studio is over priced with their upgrades and I highly suggest that you do all the upgrades yourself. All of the products and lack of quality control makes the entire experience dreadful. The contractors have no knowledge of how their own products work in the home. Avoid KB homes by all means!!!!!!! KB homes management does not take ownership of issues when they come up instead they argue and try to get out of every situation... However they mention you have one year to fix an address issues. The lack of follow up by the management Team will drive you crazy they bring unqualified contractors which are rude and not knowledgeable. KB homes management team and contractors do not follow up on issues!!! They don't treat your matter with any urgency no matter how severe. I would rather live in an apartment then a cheap made KB home with cheap appliances. The lack of leader ship at KB homes is extremely alarming. They do not follow any protocols nor file permits for major issues. read more

KB Home in Rocklin I have NOTHING TO SAY except it has way too many issues. These builders don't give a crap when building my house. I can give a whole list during the time I moved in. I must of called over 10 times to fix my issues on this house. I could literally hear RATS ON THE DAM WALLS. It shows NoO QUALITY My next future house will DEFINITELY NOT BE KB HOMES. I'm am really disappointed, frustrated and pissed off. read more

My husband and I just purchased a home built by K.B. We saw all of the other houses by JMC etc., and were disappointed with the lot sizes, the floor plans, and the sales people. The sales people at K.B. were very knowledgeable and helpful. We had a professional inspector come out and he did not say anything but good things about the home. Perhaps they have improved since 1995. He noted that they went the extra mile to include a lot of energy saving features, in addition the the good quality of the home itself. The customer service is amazing. Both of the sales people went out of their way to accommodate our schedule and we felt like we were their only customers. She noticed things we missed in the walk through and added them/had them fixed before we asked. She was extremely knowledgeable about the community, the history of Fiddyment farms, the tax laws, the contract, and pretty much everything else related to purchasing one of their homes. She was extremely honest when answering all of our questions. They have returned our calls on the same day or the next morning. They really add a lot of personal touches to make you feel welcomed into the community. They were not pushy at all. We would definitely recommend purchasing a home from them. read more

Have owned a KB home since 2008 and am very pleased. Just noticed some vertical cracking in my stucco last week and within 4 business days KB Warranty Dept sent out a contractor and patched and painted! Can't tell where the cracks were in the first place. No other issues with this home built in 2005. Fantastic customer service!! read more

Incredibly low quality homes. I currently rent and live in one of their homes built in 1995 and have a number of problems due to low build quality. My wife and I are now looking to buy a home and KB had new homes in our price range in West Roseville (Bella Terra specifically, I believe). Walking through the model homes revealed decent layouts but shoddy finish work - on their home that is supposed to SHOW OFF! Incredible! Then the pushy, cocky, ignorant salesman who "helped" us took us to see another home layout that was just being built. WOW. I've seen a lot of homes being built in my life and I was shocked to see how extremely poor the workmanship was on this home. There were so many problems in there that I can only assume that they bribed a building inspector to look the other way. They had a drywall crew in their hanging drywall while we were there. As a 14 year old I went to Mexico to help build a school. My fellow teenagers and I did a SIGNIFICANTLY better job than this "professional" crew did on this KB home. This KB drywall job was the worst I've ever seen. I watch the TV show Holmes on Homes a lot where they show how awful of a job bad contractors and some home builders do and KB either equaled or was worse than most of the stuff on the TV show. And like the TV show shows, KB is just going to patch and paint the drywall and hide all of their crappy workmanship underneath it - some unsuspecting first time homeowner is going to have to deal with it. Add to it all that we went in with our realtor and filled out contact information, as required, and they decided to call us and mail us junk. Now, I know that essentially all tract homes are built as poorly as they can get away with, but I've walked through homes being built by other builders and KB easily takes the cake. Do yourself, and your friends and family, a favor and stay away from KB homes. read more

Looked at KB homes yesterday. They are the crapiest houses in Florida and they originated in California. They are the first to fly apart in a hurricane. Wouldn't buy one in Florida and after seeing them again I wouldn't buy one in California. Cheap diaper boxes they sell for big bucks! read more

If this is the company that is building in the area of Longboat Key and Ballard Bluff in North Natomas, just off Kokomo, they have callously destroyed a burrow that has been occupied for more than two years by a mating pair of burrowing owls and at least two broods. The burrow was at the corner of Longboat Key and Ballard Bluff, right across the street from the new model homes. They filled it in -- hopefully this year's babies were grown and gone -- and laid boards across the burrow to keep the owls from reclaiming their home. I just drove by and the mating pair is hanging out under a piece of what appears to be a rain gutter on the lot next to where the burrow used to be. Whoever filled in this burrow should have made an effort to relocate these owls, and they obviously did not. Shame on them. read more

KB Homes Natomas, of Longboat is one of the worst builders out there...now you have others building in the area that will give them competition. Once you are in a contract, you are done, at their mercy...the house comes stripped and it costs an arm and a leg to put in upgrades....check other new communities where you may pay a little more, but get a lot more and when I wanted to back out...they made it very difficult. I have bought a few homes homes before and this was by far the worst experience, when you spend that much, you expect things to fall in place smoothly but it has been nothing but stress.... read more

As a first time homebuyer, we went with KB homes thinking that it will be diff than what happened in Texas and Florida... Oh boy were we in for a surprise when we tried to build a new home off Kokomo drive in natomas. Long story short, lies were told and we have email of those conversation. Lucky we got our money back but that wasn't without an uphill battle to get it back. Stressful? If you think it is not than try it and let me know. Now a day, does a salesperson has no integrity left in them? read more
