K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews

K. Hov is based on production. There are things that should not be encountered in a new home. We noticed some contractors work on what is best for them and not the esthetics or the home. Investing in contractors and having enough contractors to work in a home would be beneficial so they can deliver on time and to your standards and reputation. We foresee having issues with water setting in one area of our backyard. Please note, Jamie was a pleasure to work with and he was ALWAYS responsive. He is a really hard worker and gave us the best experience with him. Every K. Hov employee we came in to contact with were great. ... More

Very nice and always let you know the progress of your homes

Did a walkthrough before drywall installed and noticed every crack and gap was sealed up before the insulation was put in. Home feel very well sealed up. Even the basement concrete floor is not cold. Its middle of winter and the basement does not feel that cold.

Appliances have scratches. The garage and some areas in the house are not clean and not appearing to be a brand new house. Window frames are dirty due to mud. Carpet is not clean in some areas due to stains of mud. Many other minor issues. Overall it was a good experience.

My experience with K.Hovnanian overall good.

My initial contact person with the builder was very responsive to calls and texts and walking me through the process. When I actually got into the home, I was instructed to send emails to the identified email address. I got an auto reply that someone would get back to me within 48 hours. Weeks went by without me hearing from anyone. I saw one of the building managers around working on the neighbor's home and he handled some things personally for me. that was helpful. So, overall, the system has some gaps that need to be addressed; however, there were several individuals within the company that helped make things smooth for me. I would definitely recommend this builder to someone who was looking to purchase. ... More

It was a wonderful experience buying my home through k.hov

Good builder. Warranty issues are resolved quickly.

Project manager was very responsive. On a weekly basis he updated us on what had been completed and would would be completed in the upcoming week, keep us informed.

Pleasure working with them.

I had never heard of K. Hovnanian Homes prior to this home buying experience. So far, I am happy with my home and would purchase a future home from this builder. In my first two months of living in my new neighborhood, I feel comfortable and secure, both inside and outside my home.

All the project managers working my development did a very good job responding to questions and concerns. Didn’t have one problem at all

Andrew and Terence were very responsive to our family needs and requests.

We have had prior experience with KHov in a different market here in Texas. The staff here have all been very helpful along the way. From Leonard and Iman at the sales office to Carlos the superintendent, all have been very nice and responsive. The different subs involved are simply here to get the job done in whatever way is efficient. It has not necessarily been skilled or appropriate. Paint and drywall were the worst. When the home buyer has to go through the home with blue tape, there is a problem. We spent too many hours doing someone else’s job in order to get it done properly. The AC will need additional adjustments in the coming months because we were dismissed prior to closing when we voiced our concerns. Arches and walls are crooked in many main areas of the house. This can’t be corrected now. And should have been addressed prior to finishing the drywall phase. The drainage swale adjacent to to the home is a small pond harboring mosquitoes. We understand this is a developer responsibility but KHov also owns the lot/home next door and holds some responsibility also. Carlos was very helpful in getting our fence straightened after a recent wind event just after we closed. But if the adjacent ground were more stable, there may not have been an issue. There was no issue on the other side of the yard. The house was allegedly cleaned prior to closing but it really wasn’t. We have had to clean all the toe kicks under the cabinets even though this was on a list prior to closing. Overall we love the home. But yes. The experience could have been better. ... More

Over all its good, but construction team and quality needs to be improved. As they are reluctant to answer and timely work.

We purchased the model home in Glen Riddle and due to the unique nature of the property, it was difficult obtaining a mortgage through no fault of our own. The K Hovanian mortgage group failed to obtain a mortgage for us, but due to the determination of Mike K, our sales person, he was able to assist use with a mortgage company that could. We are very appreciative. We have yet to move into the property as is being used as the model with our permission.

I am happy with this builder. The team member here are friendly, easy to reach out and response prompts. The houses designed are beautiful.

Builder did honor contract price during a period of shortages and price increases. People were great to work with except for our contact at the design center who made some errors and refused to accept blame. That individual is no longer with the company, we understand. Once contract was signed there was no flexibility to change or modify anything . The house seems to be built well but I feel they undersized the heating and cooling system for a two story dwelling. Overall the house is enjoyable and modern and comfortable to live in. I do think that cramming a total of nine houses in a cul du sac has crowded the sight lines and curb appeal of our property that was not evident during the lot selection process. We also have some minor correcting issues and the fixing sub contractors have not shown up to make the corrections that were promised. The builders warranty manager however has been a pleasure to work with as has also been the builders building superintendent . ... More

We were so happy to find a house! The market became crazy and builders were taking advantage! KHOV helped us get into our brand new home without pushing up the cost unnecessarily and gave us a great timeline. They were done on time with no delays and kept us informed with photos and phone calls once a week We love our new community and our neighbors are great! Our house has tons of storage and our backyard has so much room we are putting in a pool! Thanks to KHOV and the people on site and in the office we have our brand new home!

It was great experience with KHov. Great job team

Tyler, Thank you for reaching out to us. The design options met our expectations. The follow through on the build and the attention to detail by the building team was better than expected. We had one item we were disappointed with (front skin on the island in the kitchen), but this is being resolved. However, we did have an issue with the completion time for the build of our home. Our original closing date was June 22nd. We do not live in Arizona yet, and scheduled travel for the walk through and closing. Two days prior to leaving for AZ, we were informed the closing would have to be moved out by three weeks because sign off was not obtained from the City of Cave Creek. We still traveled to AZ for the walk through, and noted the items needing correction. The reschedule of the closing caused problems for us in regard to rescheduling medical appointments and having to provide additional documentation to KHovnanian Mortgage. The aggravation resulting from additional documentation from your mortgage company was not appreciated. The mortgage company informed we would not be able to close on the new date due to an issue with Anne's short term disability extension. This was not an issue on the original closing date, but we were told there would be a $500 per day fee for every day past the second closing date. As a result, Anne had to return to work prior to her doctor's recommendation to satisfy the mortgage company. After satisfying the mortgage company to meet the closing date and to avoid the $500 per day fee fine, we received the new closing documents. When the closing documents were presented, we noted that we should not be charged the $175 for a mobile notary - this expense was caused by the build delay of not having sign offs in place prior to notifying us of the first closing date. After discussing this with your closing team we were provided new closing documents with the $175 fee being paid by the builder (copy of this is attached). Then, a third set of closing documents were sent to us with the fee again being charged to the buyer. We ended up paying the fee. To summarize, we are pleased with our home, but not pleased with our experience with your mortgage company. If we had to do this again, we would not use KHovnanian American Mortgage, nor recommend them to anyone. The $175 fee should be refunded to us. ... More

Sales team was great. We are still settling in, and there are a few things that need to be adjusted/fixed (uneven cabinets, shower doors, etc), and since the companies are not local to the city, it can take some time from the time you call until the appointment. The customer service from K. Hovnanian has been great, though.

I had a great experience with this builder. I love my new home.

H. Hov builder is trustworthy

Happy with the home and finishing.
