Even though we did not move to the new home: *our sink has RUST on it and its has to be fixed or changed. They said it will be fixed. I wanted to be documented that if after being fixed the sink still started rusting, IT HAS TO BE CHANGED. *as a result of rain, our basement got wet and had some water. it is very very bad to move to a house which damaged by rain water. *The sump pump was not draining. This problem has been fixed. *The air filter for air condition system was so bad and it was black even though no one used it yet. They put the used and damage one in there!!. This problem has ...

The build quality is not the best.

  • Martinsburg, WV

The home buying process was and dealing with the KHovnanian staff was a pleasant experience. After being in the home for three months we have discovered multiple issue's with the build quality, such as cracks in walls and grout, broken and non aligned cabinet drawers, bowing floors and excessive movement in floors. There has been notice by contractors that incorrect materials have been used to support the floors and the load bearing structures. We are currently working with the warranty department to attempt getting these issue's corrected.

The sales person and building manager were fantastic through our purchase process. We were so excited to purchase our home. Once we got into our new home it has been total chaos . We saw things we didn't see during the walk through, however the building manager has been understanding and trying to take care of some of the things we found. However there are some major issues which are costing us money. The esthetics of the house is catching. I kinda wish we didn't buy this house. Check out your cabinets, look behind your stove. I always clean behind my stove and refrigerator. I pulled my ...

The purchasing experience with our sales rep. Jessica was great, she went over and above to get answers to questions, etc... Getting our closing documents ahead of time was a disaster, not very prepared. The punch list for the home is still not complete after 3 months. The builders field rep from the Khov tells you what he thinks you want to hear with no follow up. Never writes anything down so I have to send numerous emails, text messages, photos reminding him of the outstanding items, in which very few items have been completed. I'm just very disappointed and frustrated that once the ...

Neighborhood is not properly represented when buying the home. The lakes are dry and there is no fountains.. was told that our lot was capable of having a swimming pool. This is not true .. it clearly states on the septic survey in bright red no pool. Even the septic people state they have made you aware of this but the sales person assured us that our lot was cleared for a pool. How can you build homes on a half acre lot .. that can’t have a pool!! No a very good marketing plan.houses look nice but are lacking in quality in craftsmanship and materials used.. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone ...

Ever since I have moved into my new build there have been nothing but issues. They use cheap materials and you’re left dealing with it. Our driveway is falling apart and it’s only 7 months old. Cracks and chipped. The flooring is garbage. They lied and said it’s scratch free and it’s not! The walls are wavy. When we first got our keys they weren’t even finished with our house so we had to have strangers coming in and out of our house to finish stuff for weeks!!!! Horrible experience! Don’t bother!

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We've reached out to local management and have been made aware of some of the concerns that were reported.

Less than 3 months moving into my new house, we have found a few issues. The newest one is a big crack on the ceiling above my living room. Another one is screw coming loose from a corner of my living room, and cabinets didn’t get glued in the first place.

The best part was working with our loan officer. THATS IT! Quality is horrible! On our final walk in someone smart turn on AC on 100!!! F I think they thought paint, last touch ups will dry faster but it had opposite effect….. Interior doors were SO horrible, corners smashed, paint peeling off, if the piece fell of from the door they just sand it and painted on top, what apparently doesn’t make it look better. CHEAP OT AS MUCH AS THEY CAN. There is a big list but they always will find an answer like “that’s totally fine, it should be like that” (when raining and water just leaking ...

HI Natalia, thank you for taking the time to express your thoughts. We were informed that this home had 5 service requests in which all were completed and signed off. We did find that the heater continued to run upon arriving and moved promptly to fix the issue. Our team replaced and repaired the doors that had cosmetic damage on the corners. We also tried to inform you that there were no leaks in the windows there was some water in the window tracks on the side of the home most exposed to weather and our associates explained window weep holes.

These houses and the craftsmanship are mediocre at best. They are thrown up and sloppy. I’m sure after moving in and how cheap the materials are and thrown together that it is like fast food processing at $400k plus.

Poor quality work. The workers didn't take pride in their work.

For the price of the home. We expected the finished job to be of great quality, but it has not been. There have been one issue after another. The site manager Catricia has been great getting some things fixed, but this could have all been avoided if the workers took pride in their work. The loft floor is still a problem. The floor is noisy as if it is not in place. This is not acceptable for this type of house.

K.hov is incredibly responsive about fixing problems, but the problems are legion. Electrical issues lead the way for my house. I'm now on a first-name basis with the electricians. Materials are, overall, inferior, and workmanship is poor. Maybe if they weren't in such a hurry to build, they'd take more time to do it right the first time.

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:
Hi Margaret, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We've reached out to local management and were informed that an electrician did make several visits to diagnose the issue at hand.

Hard to get things done AFTER close.

  • Elliott F.

  • Port Saint Lucie, FL

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 ...

We built in a new home the before the build process went very smoothly. The build itself went fast and was completed ahead of schedule. We have run into few issues since moving in and every time someone comes to fix or repair the issues we’re told it’s not their fault and someone else has to come. Only to ignore the issues in the home.
