K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Martin St. Lucie Okeechobee Counties, FL

Easy process, friendly environment and respectful people, and quality work.

We had an amazing experience thanks to Elliot our construction Manager and his assistant. They answered all our questions and help us with our dream home . Elliot made this experience very pleasant.

My number one problem deals with the construction of my home's swale. In Port Saint Lucie where my home is, the city has water swales in front of most front yards. This swale is supposed to allow water flow from heavy rains. My swale was either not done correctly or the effectiveness of the swale was altered during construction. At any rate, it has lead to a pudding of water around my driveway. Because the water isn't moving, it had turned green from algae. It also invites mosquitos and frogs. The city blames the builder, and Khov construction had not moved to do anything about it. So I have to suffer with this at my NEW home. ... More

Very responsive when Inquires was send it, disappointed regarding the multiple delays. But my overall experience was satisfactory

Frustrating small details we didn’t see: Kitchen cabinets not screwed correctly, missing gaps in sealing seams by staircase and bathroom doors, and the door knobs are falling off the upstairs doors. The design and construction are outstanding. Excellent safety features and beautiful small details.

Alan our builder has been very responsive to any issues. Unfortunately when we moved in, our master shower had to be redone due creaking noises. Other than that, our door handles have fell out, most of the material used is builder grade so it’s cheap. The workers for Alan don’t pay attention to detail and missed many painting spots in our home, that we had to have touched up. The seller of our home was terrible, would put tasks on other people, unresponsive, and definitely in it for the money only. Nice home now that we have added our own custom finishes and hardware. Good starter home, wouldn’t live here for longer than 5 years due to how close the homes are to neighbors. ... More

Very Cheap materials. Everything in the house was the cheapest materials possible.

We have been in our new home since November 5th 2022 and still have issues to be resolved and continue to find concerns with the type of work performed during the build.

I don’t believe the contractors involved in the building of my home paid attention to detail. Their work showed lack of respect to their trade. After almost three months, we still have items that are being addressed. We had to move in before the high impact windows were installed even though this was an original design of my house. Some of the materials used in building my house seem inferior to a house of this price.

When it is to sell the property, they tell you everything is so flexible, but when it comes to closing... the story is very very different.

Process was draining, lots of broken promises, still fighting HOA to get a fence we were promised, the time it takes to fix things in the house. I feel like my unit being the first one up was rushed!

Lots of promises from builder that never get delivered. Tired of calling on a weekly basis to ask for what we paid for - they do respond and are very nice on the phone but nothing seems to get done in a timely matter if at all. We are just getting very tired of all the calls I need to make and have someone home for a delivery or service that should have been complete prior to us moving in. All we ask is give us what we paid for. Period.

Robert was responsive and detailed.

Let's just say, the home has too many imperfections. If you have a job that you're not good at, quit and find something else to do. The door frame/stopper doesn't come down to the floor, there are holes where there should be some form of grout. The corners of each wall were there is a door frame was never painted. We had electrical issues that took 3 trips to correct. We have only lived in this home for 1 month and I am so nervous at to what else we will find. The responsiveness to our issues has been slow. I cannot put a bar of soap in the bathtub because it comes right out. The tub is hollow in certain areas. ... More

The home has had a lot of items that needed to be fixed and some of the trades are slow to fix the problems. Months go by before they order replacement items.

I've been a home owner for years and in a rush to move back to Florida I neglected to see the hidden issues and lack of quality of the construction in the new home I bought.

I have been frustrated and burdened with the lack of quality workmanship in the townhome we paid for in Stuart, Florida at the Preserve at Avonlea. Monica, the salesperson, was wonderful to work with along with Jim Carroll as Community Manager/Liason after the sale closed. Beyond these two people, I have been unimpressed with the professionalism and customer care/support of the K. Hovnanian team who is sold strongly with the brand and your unit upon purchasing. Very disappointed...and I work in the real estate industry and manage 200 agents along with 650 total in our company. The oversight of this development, in my 34 years spent in the real estate industry, in my opinion is a failure ... More

The Sales Team was excellent, however the Building Team fell far short. Poor workmanship, major defects and pushback from them after I paid for my home and asked to get everything completed and repaired. VERY disappointing!

I am disappointed with the quality of the build, especially the painting. The front door should not have passed the hurricane test as the screws were 3/4 inch and not up to code. The grass died before the close date and I never heard back about replacing it. Never again will I purchase a home from KHov.

My first time home buying was an experience I hope is not the normal. I think it can only go up from here.

The salesman Jay rarely answers the phone and never returns messages. Also having a problem getting the warranty work done by Chris who promised next day service because he doesn’t return calls either. We were supposed to get a built in pest control system that was never installed so they offered us a 1 Yr service but never told the pest control company. Tools us 4 days and 8 phone calls to get it sorted. Once you put your deposit down and/or when you close on your house the customer service is horrible.

items reviewed never taken care of. concrete drive poured 3 to 2" thick with to much water topping coming off.

My townhouse is nice and the value is good. I closed on the first unit in the development after the closing was delayed twice. Some negative experiences included. The property didn’t appraise for the agreed upon price. The 2 walk through sessions before closing were useless, nothing promised was done. After closing the townhouse was filthy both inside and the garage. The garage had construction material and my wife used the shop broom that was there to sweep it out. It took over a week to have the place cleaned and over 2 weeks to have the windows cleaned and the tile cleaned because it had a film on it. Most of the main issues are still pending to include the appliances are not leveled and the handles have dimples, cabinet door in master bath needs replaced. It’s been over a month and we still cannot have Wi-Fi or TV service. Lastly, the pool is not completed. The reality is the closing should have been delayed another 2 months. Thank you ... More

The overall experience was not very good

This has been a bad experience and continues to be, I wouldn’t recommend this developer. Lied to every step of the way, if I could have got my deposit back I would have went elsewhere. The best single word to describe everything. Incompetent
