What is the KB Home 10-Year Limited Warranty?

KB homes are designed for your life and built with quality construction so you can own with confidence and peace of mind — today and in the future. And we stand by that commitment with a 10-year limited warranty* that’s included with the purchase of your new KB home. It’s also good to know that our coverage is extensive, and whether it’s a leaky faucet or the AC, rest assured, we’ve got you covered.

How long is the KB Home Limited Warranty?

Warranty highlights are 10 years for structural coverage, 2 years for mechanical systems, and 1 year for workmanship and materials. While warranties can vary slightly from state to state, every KB homebuyer has the benefit of a comprehensive agreement and dedicated warranty team. Your warranty coverage also transfers to any subsequent buyer should you sell your KB home within 10 years.

What does the KB Home Limited Warranty cover?

Your warranty covers a lot of ground (and literally, from the ground up). Let’s start with the structural composition of your home. Should you have warranty issues with the foundation, roof, framing, or other structural elements, we’ve got you covered.

Plumbing and electrical are considered major mechanical systems that can impact your day-to-day life, and that’s why they’re covered under our warranty for the first 2 years. If you believe you have a plumbing issue that's an emergency, we are just a phone call away. Should your air conditioning stop working on a hot summer day, don't sweat it, we’ll be there.

From floor to ceiling, we want to make sure that your home is properly maintained and looking good. That's why KB Home incorporates a unique process of pre-set warranty follow-ups, including maintenance responsibilities of homeowners, so you can look forward to hearing from us at key times throughout your 1-year warranty period — and up to 18 months after you’ve moved in.

The KB Limited Warranty guide has all the details, including what’s covered and for how long. It’s a good idea to keep it handy for reference, plus, homeowners may be able to view important warranty information on their MyKB account and the KB Home app.

How does a long-term warranty benefit me?

You can't put a price on peace of mind, but knowing someone is there to take care of you goes a long way. The warranty gives you confidence that KB Home is here to support you should the unforeseeable happen.

Just as importantly, when something is covered, you never spend a dime. Your warranty department handles everything, so you don’t have any repair costs. And that’s a huge relief.

Homebuyers who are moving from apartments are used to rental managers handling repairs. It’s important to understand that when you buy a used home, you’ll be on your own, without the comfort level of a rental company. With used homes, there’s no safety net of a long-term warranty, so when things break, repairs can be costly. And, out-of-your-pocket.

When you buy a new KB home, you have the support of a company with nearly 70 years of homebuilding expertise, and a team that’s dedicated to providing an outstanding homebuying experience. So whether it’s a small issue or big fix, providing prompt customer service is our priority.

Who do I contact if something breaks?

Every KB Home division has a dedicated warranty department to service your requests. If you have an emergency, you can call us to reach a team member, and we typically respond to non-emergency calls the next day. If it’s easier, you can always submit a request online.

Our warranty departments take care of everything and that includes scheduling the contractors and maintenance professionals. So if you’re feeling stressed out, relax, we’ll handle it. Because we want to ensure that you’re happy — and that you love where you live.
