K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Baltimore, MD

The model home isn’t what you will get if you get what the model have for your home. We bought pretty much what the model home had and sure enough there are little things they didn’t add because it was just part of the model only. Something simple such as the cabinet crown molding off the kitchen (drop zone area) isn’t part of the price paid for- plus we upgraded the cabinets! There reply was the designers added that. Same goes with the master bath room walk in shower with the seat. The model home had the glass where the seating area in the shower. But when they build our bathroom- it’s not part of it- it’s part of the design for the model home. Really? It’s a misleading. The window added in the basement wasn’t included but it was an oops so they left the window there on the model but not for the new build homes. For our walk through I found blue tape and I asked about them. Reply back saying oh those are the stuff that needs to be looked at again and will fix. Well, when we moved into the house- I found at least 4 tapes that was still there which wasn’t taken care of. Yes we did a walk thru but these blue tapes were behind something that we wouldn’t be able to see unless open. One of them, it was so sharp I got cut on. It was a nail sticking out under the pantry from putting the cabinets together my husband said. The agent isn’t knowledgeable about what or how the house was going to sit until we meet up with the person building the home- this is when we already put a deposit down. The builder told us how our house was going to sit on the property we selected after went through the designer studio to pick out all our stuff for the house. We were unhappy and argue about this and nothing was done. Even with that agent told us a few things that would be included but end up having to pay more during the design studio. It’s upsetting to know when we walked in and asked the questions to know for sure what we will have to pay end up to be more than what being told. Overall experience with the agent would be one star and the building overall would be 4 stars because of how we end up meeting the builder after the designing studio was to late to change our lot at that time. Plus our deposit was already handed to them. Since this is a quick turn over few months to build. It’s not so great since the dry wall and the frame of walls are uneven. My husband put crown molding and added the blind for the room. It’s so uneven and large gaps. The blind is slanted and the blinds are put up correctly- the window was not properly level off. The walls were uneven but in waves. This is sad- what else we will find as we paint and add to put more value for the house. Overall experience with khov homes would be 2 out of 5 stars. ... More

There was a blockage caused by drywall residue in sewer pipe that the condenser drain was going to in HVAC closet in 2nd floor which cause flood in 1st floor. And I had to go through warranty company that send vendors that were slow and took 2 weeks to do the job of 2 days and causing loss of use. By hiring vendors that are unprofessional and are not taking responsibility.

Purchaser a condo in Hovanian Locke Landing few months ago. Already had flood on lower level and how to turn the ceiling and wall. Tube drain from HVAC condensation line is out in a small pipe that flooded the lower level. I was told is full of drywall material and debris. The warranty people don’t respond quickly and put you on hold for a long period of time. The company that they sent for water mitigation brought a big bucket & put the pipe in it while waiting for the Carpet to dry for a couple of day. As well as inside the walls needed to dry up for preventing it from molding, when they return to take the equipment, they realized their bucket was broke and had a long crack in the bottom, and didn’t hold any water I know we have a bigger problem now to resolve and it extends their slow repairs process. I’ll update my review as this event unfolds. ... More

K Hovnanian was by far the worst experience we have ever had. From our lot being sold out from under us, to mold twice before completion and a delayed closing of 7 weeks, to the absolute worst craftsmanship we have ever seen. The salesman was phony and they went through 4 construction managers in less than 6 months. All our neighbors have had the same craftsmanship complaints as well. If I could go back, I would have never bought from them.
