Still waiting on stuff from construction since we moved in! This is the worse experience EVER!!!!!

I would them to know that the workmanship was deplorable. Josh, who unfortunately left the company was responsive and interested in correcting the problems by holding the worker accountable. I was very upsetting when he left. Logan is outstanding, however he is overworked.

Lack of attention to detail.

Once we signed for the house it all went down hill from there. We are just another number they will eventually get to. A long list from the gold key walkthrough was never taken care of.. I’m sitting at just over a month in the house and the list is just as long. Biggest items dishwasher, electrical panel door and my kitchen hardware still not fixed. SMH lesson learned cause now they got the money for the house they don’t feel the need to fix the crap they fell short on

Very bad experience found lots of problems after closing, everything was rushed and poorly put together. The front elevation was wrong found several uncaulk areas nails sticking out, found muddy puddle under carpet, cracks in several areas too many problems to mention looks like the house was just thrown together without any consideration

Will, Robbie and Crystal were awesome throughout, but very sloppy work. Issues after close still have not been addressed a month after closing.

The home buying process was smooth. It wasn’t until we gave the down payment when we realized we were no longer important. - When we moved in, the house was dirty. Twice I pulled out a piece of wire from my 1 year old daughter’s mouth while crawling upstairs where there is carpet. - It’s been about a month and we’re still trying to get the paint stains off the upgraded flooring we chose. - The cabinet work was sub par. The handles weren’t installed level or plumb and is noticeable. The trim on the cabinets wasn’t nailed down fully and there are gaps. - Two windows were installed scratched and we were told during our walk through they would be replaced and it still hasn’t happened. One of the window screens is missing and have not gotten it yet. - The upgraded oven we chose was damaged on install and I keep getting requests for pictures but nothing has been done. - The grading in the backyard was probably completely missed. There are 4 small valleys where water collects and will sit for days after it rains. Apparently when they install the concrete pads we ordered in the back yard, they covered up a drain. - When we submitted the issues for warranty repairs, the process has been slow and disorganized. It seems they are overworked and it clear why. Overall, not happy with our home and have even considered selling and going with a builder with better quality but having to go through the moving ordeal again is probably what’s stopping us. ...

So its now been 35 days since our closing and we have numerous aka punch list items that have not been addressed that we all supposed to be completed in 21 days. But our only communication is done when we reach out to them. The 2nd level of our home is so warped & un-level that the company we hired to install our engineered wood floor has told us its impossible to get the new floors even with out bumps due to the ply wood that is warped from rain & being installed to tightly. So after spending 458k & putting down $300k with the expectation of demoing in another $50k to get the home how we want it, it's now looking like we are fixing the builders issue to correct the home. Also we have found soda bottles with soda in them behind our bathroom walls & water bottles filled with chewing tobacco behind the walls. Yes we are redoing the bathroom tiles ourselves since all the high gloss tiles were installed with scratches all over them..... Total nightmare! ... More

We recently built our home with KHov, and our experience has been a mix of highs and lows. The sales team was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, helpful, and truly made the process smooth from the start. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the Warranty team, which has been disappointing at best. The biggest issue, however, has been the quality of workmanship, particularly with the drywall and painting. The level of craftsmanship is far below expectations with noticeable imperfections throughout. For the investment we made in our home, we expected much better attention to detail. If you’re considering building with KHov, be prepared for an excellent sales experience, but a frustrating time when it comes to post build support and finishing details. ... More

Horrible quality of workmanship and cheap products put on home

The quality of installing of the finishes were poor at best. The doors will not close right,

This is a terrible company, and I would not recommend them to anyone looking to purchase one of their homes or build one. Except for the sales team, the entire process was nothing but mistakes and excuses for why things were late or done incorrectly.

Khov does not hold their contractors accountable particularly their HVAC system. In Arizona, a good HVAC system is vital. Three months in and no solution in sight.

Will never buy a Khov home again!

Looks like home was rush made. 3 months in and we have pop nails, creaking in floorboards, uneven laminate, door knobs falling off door, ceilings and walls are uneven, and we had to repair hvac 2 times since March.

We closed on our 'dream home' with Khov in May of 2022. We waited over a year and a half for the home to be completed. We were sold on the idea of a custom home delivery, with craftsman who take pride in their work and deliver a top notch product. What we received was a nightmare. I've now converted into what feels like a full time construction project manager. The VP of operations for Khov got involved months ago and assured me he would personally make things right. Unfortunately, no progress has been made. We have serious safety concerns yet to be addressed that include electrical issues, exterior doors that do not function properly and a broken truss in our attic that was knowingly installed without appropriate guidance and sign-off of a structural engineer. We're now nearly 4 months in to what is a 12 month warranty period with no real progress. I've scheduled time away from work to accommodate repairs only to have the the people who are scheduled to do the work not show up. This process has been immensely stressful on my family and we could not be more disappointed in the experience we've had with Khov thus far. The only positive experience was with our sales person and construction manager throughout the build process. Everything we've been through since closing has been noting but empty promises and frustration. ... More

Let's just say, the home has too many imperfections. If you have a job that you're not good at, quit and find something else to do. The door frame/stopper doesn't come down to the floor, there are holes where there should be some form of grout. The corners of each wall were there is a door frame was never painted. We had electrical issues that took 3 trips to correct. We have only lived in this home for 1 month and I am so nervous at to what else we will find. The responsiveness to our issues has been slow. I cannot put a bar of soap in the bathtub because it comes right out. The tub is hollow in certain areas. ... More

House is not complete interior and exterior force me to close house very bad experience still not fixed I even move in already

The building process took 16 months . The paint on the inside is a joke . The riser on the inside steps are buckling and the paint is pealling off .

Nothing was done right. So many repairs needed from holes in walls. Doors splitting, whole house needed to be repainted. Cheap quality

Horrible builders and customers service poor. House cheaply built. HOA monstrosity.

The buying experience was bad as we were hurried to sign the contract and there were lot of things we got misled by the sales team. The contract said serpent blue color in wordings but the color pallet was different. management said it's mistyped. Sales agent mentioned that we will get wifi/ connected switches and later found out it wasn't installed and they said they found out later that it's an option and not standard. We compromised on a lot of things but since we signed the contract we didn't want to lose our deposit. The quality of home is decent not amazing like other good quality builders ... More

My house buying experience has been truly an unforgettable one. When I began this process, things were pretty much straight forward, seemingly less. Working with Sabrina was a delight, I went the design center, very excited, they were extremely helpful. I decided to use KHOV financing... BIG mistake... From the very first time I spoke with my loan officer Diandra things were chaotic. She called to inform me that she was unable to pull "One" of my credit reports, which I thought was odd since she was able to obtain the other two! She proceeded to confirm my SSN, stating "ins you social 000-00-XXXX? Completely baffled, I asked her to repeat the social, which she did.... Please advise who has an SSN the is 000-00-XXX??? In a different conversation we were discussing my interest rate, estimated closing cost. I asked if my interest could be locked in at the current rate, she answered YES without hesitation, however on the document I was asked to sign, the locked rate was not reflected, when I questioned this, she replies, my apologies, go ahead and sign it and I will correct it before. I believed her. As time went on and interest rate sore, I felt secure, because my trusted loan officer assured me that my interest rate was lock, therefore I had no concerns. In Mid April approximately 50 days to closing, I received a call from Diandra advising me that that I no longer qualify for my home loan because my DTI was too high... With no explanation what this means or even what the next step would be, she asked if I had received a raise, I advise no, she said "ok, let me see what I can do. I'll call you back". She never called back. I was left all evening and night with this, not knowing what is going on thinking that I don't have anywhere for my family to go. After waiting for Diandra to call me back, which she did not.. The process continues to get worse, so bad that I refused to work with her, which required the director of the department Karl to take over. When the loan processor Nicole took over, things got a little better, however the morning BEFORE I was due to close, I received an email advising they have not received my employment verification requesting my assistance to obtain it. As the day went on, although I advise Nicole I will work on it from my end, what was originally request, became a demand, then a threat, stating I cannot get my HR department to send information I will not be able to close on my home the next morning. Fortunately, I was able to obtain the required information. Literally up the LAST moment I had issues with the finance department. I would NEVER advise anyone to use KHOVANIAN financing... NEVER!! EVER!! It is very very sad that the terrible experience I had with the finance department has tainted what could have been a special home buying experience for me. I can only hope there have been significant changes in that department. I would like to acknowledge Sabrina, Josh, Angel. Heidi and Jon with Eastern Title. Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the contractor that did our initial walk thru, he was very knowledgeable and helpful, hopefully he can be identified and acknowledged as well. ... More

Love the house, but disappointed with the design where the wall is behind the basement entry door. I cannot fit or take big furniture items down the stairs because the wall behind the basement entry does not allow maneuvering. If I had known I could not fit big furniture ( couch) down the basement. I would have added the walkout to the back yard as another option. This is critical to mention to new buyers!

I had issue with Mailbox keys and kHOV has been pointing fingers on others like USPS and they point to HOA & in turn HOA says it's builder who made the mistake. I as home owner & tenant are going in circles from almost 2 weeks and so far we don't even know who owns this problem but the Owner & Tenant is suffering. This is not acceptable, period.
