finishing was delayed a lot incentive was very less

Good with progress updates but disappointed with some features and accessories of the house

There's been things I've been finding around the house that I didn't catch in the walk through. The foundation feels uneven in parts of the house, and the vinyl planks are popping up. Also, I can see the joints on several parts of the walls throughout the house. It seems like they didn't use any dry wall tape. I don't know, I'm a bit upset because I waited all this time for the house to be built, and the quality is disappointing

Great home buying experience. However, the sell you on the HOA taking care of everything on the outside including your lawn, bushes, trees and sprinkler system. The lawn, bushes and trees in this neighborhood have been severely neglected to the point where my neighbor has a beach instead of a lawn. My bushes haven’t been cut since I moved in and I have a tree that’s dying because the wind caused it to lean and the rootball is exposed. My neighbors and I have brought these things to the attention of both the management company and the builder. The new landscape service (because the old one was so bad) still just Moe’s the lawn while my tree dies, my bushes grow, and my neighbor searches for the ocean that must be near his beachfront property. ...

Unfortunately delays of at least two months due to Covid 19 . The reasoning for all things that did not go as planned . Heba did her job on the sales end however the staff after that were less in performance .

Sales experience with Ron was great. Closing experience with Robert was great. However service has been a little disappointing. 1. Still no paint kit, despite several requests. Was told flat paint, its actually dead flat paint, several trips to home depot and paint purchases and time wasted we had to buy the paint for small areas and the trial and error was not a good experience having to repaint whiskers. 2. Was told because paint kits were scarce they would paint small spots. Opened a ticket someone came out, nice guy. I was asked to sign a screen and told someone would be out to paint my door and deliver a kit. Thats was 2 weeks ago. Had to open another ticket. 3. Opened a ticket regarding debris in lawn causing dead spots of grass. Rebar, wood chunks, metal, makes walking barefoot in grass dangerous. Should not be like this. 4. Common areas. Careless construction drivers driving over curbs ruining grass, concrete.. area is not zoned for 18 wheelers.. construction folks needs to downsize delivery vehicles. 5. Amenities are pretty bad. New homes being built next to park with yellow tape (1 month now). Front sign is broken and the piece broken is sitting on floor since the freeze. Gym is dated, old and needs to remake to match new homes being built. Its like having an old car with rust with new interior. Pressure washed basketball court, no hoops? I love my home when im in my home. Outside the home amenities is not good. ... More

Jobs are done half way and not complete

Buying a Khovanian home was a fun experience. Sales team was very helpful. When walk through a were scheduled they were during working hours, I do think a different time frame would be better. The home is beautiful in itself given that it’s new but as we live in it longer we do see defects that we have brought to the superintendent attention. I do understand that there is a delay and shortages due to Covid, but if things are done right the first time there is no need to go back and fix anything. Overall my experience was ok, there was a confusion on delivering my keys. Construction manager was holding on to them when we were standing outside our home. I didn’t expect it to be magical but I also didn’t expect to have to wait an hour for the construction manager to decide when he wanted to give me my keys. ... More

We love our new home; however communication could have been better and felt our concerns were brushed off. Paint on walls and wood trim SHOULD have been done better.

Would like to meet with your area supervisor regarding warranty issues. No contact as with your agent.

So, they have nice homes. They are better it seems than most national builders. The mortgage process through the builder was a headache of needing just one more thing and a lack of communication. When notified of issues with the home the actual builder supervisor was fairly quick to respond to small requests. Larger ones have yet to be addressed. The building crews leaves trash everywhere in the neighborhood and seems indifferent about cleaning up after themselves. I had higher hopes as they portrayed themselves differently. We love our home. Its ours. But we make it what it is.

anytime we had questions Charlie was always there to answer them.

Someone please call to discuss

I had a bad experience, when we started the meetings for the home with the chief of construction and the home seller. During the meeting i asked them to reinforce the vents of the house and neglected to do it when they asked me what changes i would want. When they would ask me for more documentation it was for the same documents that i just submitted with the home seller. There was miss communication with the seller and mortgage loan officer.

We were surprised by how inflexible they were. Also, the house was cleaned nicely but they left a bunch of scrap and junk in the easement ditch on our lot behind the home. We will have to live with this unsightly situation until spring and then will have to clean it up ourselves or pay someone to clean it up. We were told they will level the yard somewhat and put down straw which did not happen

No mail box set up. Roads not added in Google maps. USPS was not recognizing the Address. I have to submit several requests to Google. Had to make couple of trips to USPS. These things should have taken care by sales rep.

My experience with KHOV Mont Belvieu has been for the most part an positive experience. The sales person was amazing, by far the best part of this, the sales person really went above and beyond to make me feel appreciated. The finance team is very efficient, although I did have an issue with my Wind/Storm certificate making it over to my insurance company before closing. But the builder and the condition of my home was unacceptable. The floors of my home arrived late, like days before closing. Therefore I was having my home inspection while there was a ton of work still being done in my home. And when closing came my home had paint all on the wood floors, windows and window frame and shower rods fallen off in the bathroom, dead grass, marked up cabinets, etc. The closing should have been pushed back and the home needed at least an extra week of thorough work. And as of this date I'm still waiting for puchlist items to be finished two months after closing. ... More

Sloppy. Light switches not level.

It’s hard to give a review when there are still pending issues that we’re going back on forth on, hence the reason why I held off on doing this survey.. so this is the best I can give at this time

bad response from managers, very unprofessional, I had a bad experience talking and complain for issues or mistakes that sales person made, giving a different floor plan to constructor, then I was trying to get what I choose and pay, but no luck with the manager that was very unprofessional to solve issues. also company use very cheap material, Im still having issues with door nobs falling off.

Make sure you get the radon tested before you buy a home -- K. Hovnanian is very quick to deny any responsibility for it. Some of the K. Hovnanian people were very responsive to our needs, and others were less so.

I expect more value for the money, the appliances are cheap and malfunctioned after 1 use. We're still waiting for items to be repaired after being in our home a month.

Final cleaning poor, ceiling texturing poor, issues with shower grout and caulk lines, wall paint not durable scuffs easily and does not clean well

Lots of cracks, poor paint quality, staining and ittle attention to detail.

The home seems built well, but during the sales process, the sales agent was horrible about getting back to us with answers to questions or when we needed to make changes. The home seems to be built well, and through the process the construction manager was pretty good. But we've had a couple issues (mostly completely dead sod and plants right at settlement) and these things still aren't resolved. I keep getting told they'll be done, but it's been over a month and nothing has been done. Followed up a few times and I just get long winded explanations and excuses.
