The company lied to us about drainage issues on the property from Day one and created a false appraisal of the new home, cheating out and lying to federal regulators.

Very poorly designed and inadequate drainage system of house and lot

  • Michael G.

Yard flooded during first heavy rain. Concealed poor drainage before closing, I would not have purchased this home if I knew how bad the drainage of the lot and house were. I would like to sell the house back if possible. I don’t trust anyone from this organization and feel this problem was concealed from me

Worst builder experience

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Mont Belvieu, TX

Since purchasing the home, I have experienced so many issues. I was told by the contractor (Nomo) to contact him for any issues. He has been extremely slow with responses and completely incompetent in resolving any issue since purchasing the home. There is no communication whatsoever. I have purchased homes from multiple builders and have never been this unsatisfied. The home buying experience has been so bad and I regret buying a home from K. Hovnanian. I have escalated issues to Nomo’s boss, Gary, and it too has resulted in delays with getting important issues resolved. The post purchase ...

Incredibly Poor Project Management, Service and fijishings

  • Warren G.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • September 28, 2023
  • Mount Pleasant, SC

I found we were oversold the home, were made promises that were not kept, and had to continually watch every development in the home as builders cut corners, didn’t finish elements, etc. there was next to zero project management, incredibly poor communication and poor workmanship. One of the worst experiences I have had in my adult life.

Closing was not very smooth, lot of dates shared to us for the closing. But finally it was been like the customer myself have to discuss with Town for getting the occupancy certificate. After moving initial issues fixed through warranty team. But after that seeing a critical issue in the end unit where cold air getting pushed from outside, working with warranty and other senior managers team finally they are asking to read pages and pages of document saying all build as expected. No proper fix for the issue and we are still surviving with the issue with no solution. Finally I will not ...

It was a nightmare

  • Li-Ling Chang & Daniel S.

  • Fairfax, VA

Since we decided to buy this condo, it had been a nightmare to us. The homeowner warranty is a joke. We have 3 times carbon monoxide leaked due to HAVC. Every time we had to evacuate us, call 911, turned off the heat, and spend our time to call out from work and wait for they came to fixed. Even the hotel reimbursement, it took them a month (originally they told me 2-3 months) to give us the reimburse. I have to spend my time to constantly contact with them, the home warranty director, most of time I didn’t get the response. I also requested to change a brand new HAVC, because they admitted ...

Overall the construction process lacked independent quality control. Warrenty manager is trying to respond but does not have any staff hence no schedule of completion existed or provided. The local head of sales and construction lack courtesy to return calls and has been non-responsive. The house was not prepared at the closing and major Items of punch list at walk-thru provided prior to closing is still outstanding after 90-days we are in the house. I provided ample opportunity to them to complete the list but no luck. Cabinets in the kitchen are falling apart and not soft closing. ...

Save your hard-earned money!!! Dont waste on this company!!!

  • Mandy D.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • December 30, 2022
  • Bluffton, SC

From the buying to moving in process, the "dream" that is sold is opposite of the reality. The realtors are fantastic, but their hands are tied because they are slave to construction. The construction managers are great, but they tell you what you want to hear, and are slave to the trades. The quality and workmanship that is sold, based on the model, is opposite of what the final product of the home actually is. For a $500,000+ home, the quality and workmanship is near half. And, the time frame given for move-in is grossly underestimated. Since moving in, less than 3 months ago, I have ...

If you’re looking in a residential development and see a K Hovnanian model just skip it and go to either the competition or to another neighborhood. The quality of workmanship is abysmal. Everyone involved will assure you that your home will be ready for your closing date and then drop the news on you the day before that it won’t be ready but that they will have everything done in a few days. It won’t be ready. It will drag on for weeks and months. The moment they get paid all urgency is gone. You’re no longer a priority. Your home isn’t a priority. The people doing the work are trash.

Most miserable experience. Even when I tried to submit my initial review, It was deleted and I was asked to re-write it. This pretty much sums up my entire experience. K hov simply doesn't care and they make that clear. They promised numerous items and a certain level of service that they chose not to deliver. When I addressed with Sr. Management I received rude and insulting emails stating that I should read the contract and I'm pretty much stuck. But what do you expect for a "high-end" builder? They had the audacity to justify their horrible service by stating "all the builders do ...
