K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

It’s been good knowing the people that works in your office, helpful and welcoming, supportive in any way they can.

No comment. Having issues. Thank you.

Overall everything has been okay, the sales process was pretty great and we were informed about everything along the way. My main concern is that we had a walkthrough and while we noticed a lot of cosmetic things to be addressed, after signing off, there were a lot of things that were missed because you would need to be living in the home. One thing that bothers me is that the day after we moved in, I noticed that a vehicle (most likely a workers backing into our driveway as a turn around) hit our garage door and dented the bottom of it. The builder said that since we signed off they wouldn't fix it. Also I noticed a lot of scratches on windows in the home that you wouldn't notice unless you were right up against it and the light shining just right. I was told that those too would not be fixed. Also noticed that the lights in the master bathroom are not evenly placed above the vanities so they are all at different heights. I just think the quality of the workmanship could of been better and the builder should of offered to at least fix the windows and garage. ... More

Our buying experience with this Builder was overall great! Would recommend to others looking to purchase new home build.

Overall experience bot good and not so bad. First of all, I supposed to close on my house in 10/30/23 and I closed on 01/30/2024. Secondly, I had an electric issue and outage in my house. They sent electrician every time I requested wasn’t able to fix the problem for over 2 months. Outage happened few times while guests were there. I had to pay fine and they didn’t compensate me. Bad experience, bot recommended

Appreciate and take care your home and any thing you get

Allison, the sales agent is very helpful when I have questions and concerns. However, Tom did the sloppy job repairing broken retaining block walls. And before moving into residence, Tom refused to replace kitchen sliding screen where it has a hole. Not happy!

Make sure your floor is level and out door paint is not mix matching in area you might not see it right away. Make sure carpeta don’t have nails sticking out an hurt your foot. Make sure outdoor electrical outlets are working or not cover by stucco.

You can hear everything between the first and second stories, even others using the restrooms. There needs to be more sound barriers added between both floors. The back yards should come finished . That’s a lot of money to come up with after you just used a lot of money for the purchase . It’s should come in the price

I do not recommend purchasing a new home with k hovnanian.

I've had the worst experience and it's such a shame as I was so excited to be a KHovnanian home owner. The lack of attention to detail is disheartening. When asking to remove the paint stains in the carpet before moving in caused a permanent stain on my carpet. The closet had to be redone for lack of sturdy completion. The closet fixer walked into my home and dragged all his muddy shoes on my carpet, pictures were taking and sent in, carpet cleaner hired, he was extremely aggressive with his services causing straches all over my walls ( mind you the paint stains on the carpet were not be able to be removed even though he was brought in for mud, so im living with stains on my carpet that I did not do,) concrete was called in for cracks needing to be fixed and now my master suite restroom is going to be gutted as the foundation is broken. I havent been able to use the left side of my restroom for the sinking whole. A new stranger will enter my home. Ive had 5 people eneter my home, in the middle of a pandemic, when i have elderly parents living with me, risking exposure for the lack of your worksman. I will never by a Khovnanain home again or recommend to others. This is a brand new home and these are the problems ive faced in the first month. ... More

Warning: After closing escrow on my new home in late September and after only two days as a home owner, a major plumbing issue was discovered. The plumbing wouldn't allow the toilet water to flush properly. I worked feverishly to minimize the damage after a flood. A plumber arrived and determined there was a blockage in the drain system that required jackhammering the foundation. The following day, a contractor arrived and inspected the drains with specialized camera equipment that confirmed the problem - a pipe fitting and cement blockage due to "improper installation and carelessness" had caused the problem This was missed by the contractors team when it was hastily thrown together and also missed by an inspector. After two and a half days of jackhammering and desicrating the new tile floors, the technician was able to show us the faulty pipes and installation. (see photos attached) It took approximately 3 weeks from the start of locating the problem, replacing the floors to clean up the mess. The entire house had to be scrubbed as the tile dust seeped into every cabinet and drawer. The contractor used mismatched tile and grout to conclude the project. Compared to the original tile that was laid, this job was inferior. Currently, we are still waiting on the master bedroom vanity that was destroyed from the water damage. (See attached photos) When we inspected the home for move in, there was an improperly installed door frame. The construction manager took notes and promised to fix it. I told him that the frame was damaged to the point where a full replacement was the only way to fix the problem properly. He replied “we’re going to nail it." The stucco at the base of the door frame was also not properly applied, causing the base to flare out. (See attached photos). After sharing my concern, I was confident the repair would be properly fixed. Sadly, two days later, the contractor patched the door frame using his one nail method. It was horribly evident that there was a patch instead of a replacement. I pointed this out to a Senior K. Hovanian senior manager that came out to meet with me over the door frame and several other quality concerns, he agreed with me that it was not leveled and properly repaired. We are in November, and my calls for replacement and repairs have either been ignored or handled in a slow and unprofessionally and unacceptable way. It's been well over a month since the close of escrow. The excitement and anticipation that my daughter displayed a month ago has been snuffed out. Her dream of walking into her first house, crisp, clean, and untouched has been replaced with anxiety and disappointment. The promises made to her by a misleading K Hovnanian management team have been a harsh dose of reality that she had to learn too soon. We are also dealing with a list of other issues that are being addressed with the same lack of urgency. The list follows: Wall stains, multicolor walls, patch painting, poor wall textures, dented front entry door, poor paint finishing, missing baseboard trim, poor baseboard installation, misalignment of ceiling light trim, poor stucco quality finishing, cement splatter of wood trim, poor stucco repair, scratched/damaged exterior lighting fixture, bathtub repairs, and an extreme amount of construction debris surrounding the home itself. ...
