KB Home reviews, kb home complaints, investigations, news stories, fraud, homes, new construction, and leaks found in KB Homes. Consumer protection and information. Buyer beware.

admin

I am a consumer advocate. Homeowners who have purchased a lemon from KB Home need a place to talk, share, and unite. This site is educational. Consumers need to know that shoddy construction is a problem with KB Homes, and this in turn can cause upheaval and financial ruin. Consumers need to know they are in for a battle to get their homes fixed correctly. We need to work together politically to change the the new home builder industry with countless laws stacked against the homeowner. We need to contact law enforcement when appropriate and hold KB Home accountable for the houses they build. I don't want this to happen to anyone else.
