K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Wilmington Newark, DE

Beautiful designs and very responsive sales and maintenance team.

The entire staff was excellent. Communication and follow up threw the entire process was top notch.

Excellent overall experience from the sale representative all the way to the building process.

My family loves our home, Dustin who sols us the home was amazing always checking in and even after closing makes himself available to answer questions for us. Jason our builder was the best, he sent regular updates with pictures and allowed us to do walk throughs. We highly recommend K.Havnanian

From day one of walking into the sales office to make inquiries through the last day of receiving our gold key we enjoyed working with KHOV in building our dream home. The process was smooth and everyone involved with us have been highly professional and sweet. After moving into our home we discovered a few issues (which is normal with new builds) and the company has been prompt in helping us fix it. We love working with KHOV and will definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone who is looking to buy their dream home.

Buying a new home is always stressful but it can be good if you are in the right neighborhood. The project managers here are very helpful and timely in their response. There are a lot of things to be concerned about while spending your money and there will be differences of opinion and perspective but this neighborhood and developer are working to give you the best they can. We have had an overall positive experience and we would wholeheartedly recommend putting your family in a home here. Thank you to everyone involved and we look forward to getting more great neighbors.

We loved working with Rick and Ralph! They were both always so responsive and extremely helpful throughout the process. We got constant updates which was awesome :)

We love our new home. The quality of construction is superb. All our friends and family members are at awe seeing the house!! Drew was outstanding. A thorough gentleman and a friendly professional! He attended to all our questions and issues with lots of patience and was very understanding of our concerns. Eban was awesome too. We highly rate Hovnanian and would recommend it to any home buyers.

excellent community spacious lots easy access to 896 and 95 15 min to Shopping. Appo Schools

None of the issues identified during the walkthrough a week before closing have been addressed . Most of these issues are still not resolved 2 months after closing . Wish atleast a few were addressed

We love our new home. K hov uses high quality materials and it is a strong build. The map fit our needs perfectly. Rick and Keith were great but the people working for the contractors often do not follow through with instructions and there were several unfinished things even at the time of closing. I just wish they would refine the finishing touches without us having to ask so many times.

Our sales agent Craig was wonderful! Very kind, nice and attentive to our questions which made the experience very pleasurable.

They have best models and colors to offer

I have a decent experience but in a rush to finish the closing at the earliest and handover to client, builders left several things. I had to raise tickets for multiple issues and i am still raising issues and following up every week. Good thing is they are addressing all the issues without fail but raising tickets and following up each time is a pain.

Good experience for me and my family. We love our house. Thank you!

My certificate of occupancy was not not done on the settlement day. My sales rep Michael never called me back when I told him about the issues. I never heard from when I moved in also.

Buying a new house does come with added stress but when that stress is increased due to the lack of updates or lack of attention to issue with no updates or evident issues were corrected and a lack of communication — just unacceptable!! To add to this when you purchase a tech package you expect that the wiring is work vs more out of pocket cost and time & effort you have to put in. To add more to this debris that the trades leave behind that gets blown around is just disrespectful to owners and unacceptable that the builder is not stepping up to recognize there is an issue.

As first time homebuyers, my husband and I expected a much better finshed product, however we were sadly disappointed. Khov's home building process is rushed and the workmanship is poor. The quality of the work does not reflect the "new constructed home" we dreamed about.

We chose Summit Pointe by KHOV due to it's location and initial pricing. The neighborhood is very nice and it's proximity to most amenities makes this location a very ideal spot. The whole buying process felt very rushed. Upon signing the sales contract, NO edits or revisions were allowed. Even small things such as moving an ethernet port from one room to another was not allowed. KHOV needs to realize that owner plans could potentially change after signing the contract. To be clear, we wanted some changes that were not structural to be implemented literally days after signing our contract. We understand that it's not feasible for design changes to occur weeks or months into the construction phases. The interior of the house seems to be very well built. We noticed that whoever designed the electrical outlets and switches did not consider room layout at all. Light switches are often tucked away behind doors, outlets are behind major furniture such as bed frames and certain light switches make no sense, especially in the kitchen. Why are the island light switches placed at the furthest point in the kitchen? The most glaring deficiency that many homeowners have complained about is the sad excuse of a driveway that leads to the garage. Some houses were optioned with 3 car garages. It is absolutely impossible to utilize the 3rd bay without absolutely destroying your lawn. There is plenty of room to pour a double wide driveway that would allow homeowners to park adequately without risk of damaging the fresh sod. Overall the house and location is desirable as the development is rapidly growing. Just be prepared for the typical new construction headaches. We were promised a 5 month delivery, but settled eventually at 9 months. ... More

VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD

They installed the dead sod in lawn and never replaced. The house was super dirty when we moved.

Their lack of communication with the home buyer made our experience awful. We have built with other builders before and we never had a poor response to issues with them. The lack of knowledge of their homes designs, upgrades, and questions we had was poor. We felt like they didn’t care about us, in fact we received other peoples information from Hovnanian mortgage, which was concerning since it happen more then once. The way we received our settlement date was outrageous! We never received a formal letter, or any commutation that our home was going to settle near the date on our signed contracts! We always heard from our sales representative that settlement date is always subject to change. Three weeks prior to settlement they still had no idea? Please! We found out through a email chain, NO direct communication or formal letter!. Thank goodness we lock in our mortgage when we did, since our sales representative told us to wait for letter from Hovnanian regarding settlement date! Again, very poor communication! We our very thankful for our on site construction manager (Ralph) he was open, and communicated to us, he was the only thing that made our experience better! We had problems with our furnace before settlement and we are still having issues afterwards, no HEAT. Thank goodness again for the construction manager he was able see what was wrong. Unfortunately, we think this issue will not be solved, which worries us, since we lost heat again on Thanksgiving. Overall our experience with Hovnanian was not up to standards we have had in the pass with builders, and that is sad since it was a name that we thought we could trust. ... More

So many issues in the construction and the builder don’t respond to fix the issues reported.Couple of design issue where bath room doors collide with the main doors in the guest room and refrigerator door collides with the pantry door and they don’t care to address the issue they simply say it is as per the design provided by the architect..Dishwasher door was colliding with the side wall of the counter top and was not in usable condition on the day we moved in.Overall not a good experience.I will have to wait and see how they respond to all issues reported.

Bought a new construction home & closed close towards the end of april. Have had many problem & the small ones were fixed with the bigger problems being ignored or pushed on to the next guy. Found many issues with door’s not closing correctly thing’s not being painted my air had went completely out about 6 times now. Very bad when your in the middle of the summer on a 95+ degree day. Biggest issue being is my hvac pipe having such bad condensation that it has caused a leak in the ceiling of my kitchen. They cut a hole in the ceiling in my kitchen leaving an exposed hvac pipe dripping water all day onto my counters & floor creating a slipping hazard for us & our 3 children. After the month long wait i have been essentially been told its our fault that we keep out house “too cool” in the summer. There recommendation is turn it no lower then 15 degrees of the temperature outside. So on day’s that it reaches 100+ my thermostat should be set no lower then 85-87 degree’s. Which is Completely unacceptable. There behavior with no one taking responsibility is disappointing. When i called & explained the situation to there customer service line there response essentially was we will send you the information so you can sue us. WOW! Guess we’ll have to contact the states attorney & or get a lawyer. If your looking for a new home in Delaware i suggest you go with another builder! ... More

We were rushed to sign the contract, we were not provided time to go thru the contract. They invited to meeting to go over contract but they were very rude and forced me to sign the contract before leaving. There are many hidden fees Ex: water allotment payment which is a whopping 9000$(only if you go select their lender else 17000$). They will force you to go thru their lender by saying they will remove incentives provided if we won’t choose them. Home selection process was not great, they showed me some printouts and asked me to select my options which is very confusing and once signed they won’t allow any changes even non structural things like carpet/tiles etc. They rushed me to select home and didn’t explained about their home models. All they want is to sign the contract. ... More
