K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews

I felt like I was strongarmed into using their mortgage company. Beware. I was expecting more attention to the details of this home based on the price I paid for it. More eyes need to be on the details of these homes. Seems like they are throwing them up and no one is really paying attention to all the details.

We were in rentals for five months, very expensive.

The home is lovely but there are several workmanship issues we weren’t expecting (Windows are not the same size on the top versus the bottom for example).

The sales process was rushed with many material information provided seemingly on an ad-hoc basis instead of thoroughly explained at the outset. Materials used for the construction feel cheap, especially the upgraded kitchen that comes at a material premium, and the stairs and the bathrooms, which are visibly deteriorating only a few weeks after moving-in. The main issue for us is the quality of the finishes. Despite the best effort of the builder's team, it remains below par. Responsiveness to issue, honesty and willingness to assist from the builder's team has been outstanding. Although it is early stage, we got the feeling that we won't get the same level of service going forward. ... More

The sales professional Jay was terrible, Lied to us multiple times, Very Upsetting process starting out. It would be a more honest way of doing business with people to allow them to look at your showroom before making them put up a deposit. Brian was easy to deal with, good experience there. However the builder did leave us with several large dead trees in our yard that are tagged orange to be removed. I expect someone to come remove these tree's as its the right thing to do.

finishing was delayed a lot incentive was very less

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

I see so many things are ignored during the build process. It means there was not attention during construction process.

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

The lines of communication were lacking during the build. Many upgrades that a typical person would like were not options. Once the process started there were no changes allowed. Once the house was completed the yard was never graded and remained a mess for months. This builder doesn’t help with the outside at all, even though they tell you they will. After moving in, there are design flaws with kitchen storage and electrical outlets in the master bath and the basement.

My experience in general is not than bad. My best experience is with the sales team, they are incredible awesome. The only bad taste that I have is after I moved. The construction workers are not nice at all. They have destroyed the grass of the house , they continuously blocked my driveway, they is a lot of mud on the road etc. Also my water meter apparently was broken and nobody told me that so my first water utility bill is around $300 dollars. There is too many bad things happening at night. Due to the kind of World we are living now, I would suggest to start building new development as Gated Community ... More

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 .

When it came time to select our new home, we looked at many options before falling in love with the KHov design for the model we selected. It was really a perfect fit for our needs and we really enjoy the house now that we are in it. The purchasing experience was great, and Victoria was simply awesome and extremely responsive. We used KHov Mortgage due to the incentives offered. Our main contact was very helpful, but the work behind the scenes was very opaque with some mistakes and it was not a good experience. Our construction manager was a pleasure to work with, keeping us well-informed throughout the process and taking the time to send periodic progress pictures, which we greatly appreciated. We completely understood the pandemic-induced construction delays that pushed our move-in date by months. Given all this, it was a fairly good buying experience, despite COVID, but the part that matters most is the quality of the house you actually move into. This is my third new construction purchase, so I expect a decent number of punch list items. Past builders addressed most reported items within a few days and I expected the same. What we encountered was a host of quality issues that went beyond the cosmetic. Service requests raised with KHov sat for more than three weeks before anyone even discussed them with us because their service department is overwhelmed. The double whammy of peak demand in a hot home market and a rekindled economy that has put the construction labor force in tight supply has made it really tough for builders. It seems like many of the trades are over-scheduled right now, more inexperienced people are holding jobs, and materials are hard to procure in a reasonable timeframe. Given this, our somewhat disappointing service experience may not be so much a reflection on KHov solely and could well apply to most builders in our area and perhaps beyond. In the end, we look forward to working out all the kinks and enjoying a truly wonderful home. ... More

Great customer service but I feel like more attention needs to be put towards quality checks of completed work. I often had to point out things to be corrected that I felt the construction supervisor should have identified and corrected even before I had to mention it.

Overall, it was not a bad experience at all, but it was not one great either. I understand you have alot of homes to build and alot of warranties to cover, but the overall customer service could be improved on I think. There were many times during the building phases and now in our warranty phase where customer service was lacking, or felt rushed like put a band aid over it and move onto the next house that has issues or questions. Please slow down and explain everything to homeowners as they move into a house. Its a major purchase in life.

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

Overall experience was great. They were honest, quick to respond, and very helpful. There were many things that needed to fixed after we moved in. We still continue to find things that are wrong with our home and it seemed like they rushed to build the house and made many errors. As far as fixing the errors they do an excellent job to make sure everything is how you want it.

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.

They are decent builders. You will not be getting the best workers, but just decent enough. You will encounter some issues with workmanship, and in some cases you will just be on your own with these issues.

The Company wasn't very helpful or understanding of pandemic issues complicating home buying process. Sellers was not helpful or patient with VA process. This was not a very easy process.Causing us (The Buyers) more expenses in living and home cost.

Allison, the sales agent is very helpful when I have questions and concerns. However, Tom did the sloppy job repairing broken retaining block walls. And before moving into residence, Tom refused to replace kitchen sliding screen where it has a hole. Not happy!

Closing was too much of a rush. My construction manager was excellent
