K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews

To start our salesperson did not promptly return calls about questions we had. She also told us the house came with 2 outside compressors for air conditioning. She was more inclined to give an answer the customer would want to hear than what the truth was. Our project supervisor, Troy came across to me as cocky and lay the blame on somebody else or had an excuse. The last thing that made the whole process terrible was the home builder charged us a large sum of money because the closing date was not communicated properly to anyone especially us. There is a lot more detail that can be shared with whoever cares but our overall experience was a disaster but when the builder holds all the cards at the end you either follow their instructions or forfeit a lot of money. Would never recommend this builder. Thanks ... More

It is clear that our house has been a low priority for KHov, and this entire process with KHov was been a horrible experience for us. We understand the current market environment, labor shortages, and supply chain issues, because we just went through buying a new home with NVHomes which was completed February 2021. It was a tough process but nothing like what we are experiencing with KHov. This process with KHov is so bad, that we don’t feel comfortable with the product that KHov delivered to us. Our close date has been pushed back repeatedly over the course of several months. Over the past few months, we have reached out repeatedly for updates, but only receive them on the days before closing is supposed to take place. We faced two massive disappointments throughout this process. First, our upstairs bathroom was constructed incorrectly (not according to the floor plan). No one caught this for weeks until closer to closing. Second, the most upsetting disappointment, was the walkthrough that took place on Monday, December 13. KHov intended to close on Friday, December 17. When we walked in, it was obvious that nobody had attended to the house in weeks. There were holes everywhere, unfinished bathrooms, broken windows, cracked flooring, unfinished dry wall, cabinets completely damaged, doors missing, and the house didn’t have insulation in the attic (all detailed in our inspection report which was 4 days after our walk through)! It was obvious that no one from KHov walked through the house or had a punch list. I went around the house and marked it with blue tape, which should have been someone else’s job. The fact that we are paying close full purchase price for this house and had to drive 7 hours round trip that day to see the house in that condition is inexcusable. After we refused to close, KHov pushed the closing another week, and again items were addressed but not completed. We had to push closing again to (12/30) again to (1/21) and then finally had to close on (1/31) because we couldn't extend the rate lock anymore. Once we moved in (3/29), we noticed there was no heat working on our 1st floor and there was a massive gap under our front door due to misalignment of install where cold air is coming through. We have called the emergency hotline and reached out to our Sales Rep and haven't heard back in 3 days to resolve this issue. I would never purchase a house from Khov and wouldn't recommend anybody purchasing a home from them. ... More

Very poor sales person and construction manager. They make changes that they want to and does not value the buyer at The Parks at Rosehill.

Buying a home is a big decision, take extra care on your decision when purchasing from Khovanian, What they think is completed vs my completed are vastly different. If I had to do it over, I would not pay for upgrades and I would use that money for contractors to come in and do it correctly. Their construction division and project management team is broken, they do not manage expectations with the customer. When you get your keys do not expect a clean home or detail work to be completed. I’ve lived in my new home for a month and they still need to paint my trim work, paint all the interior doors and get markings off the kitchen counters. I feel the painters were amateur and not professional. I have paint on all the mirrors and the amount of paint on my new floors is ridiculous. If I had to do it again…I don’t think I would!! ...

Workmanship was poor and poorly supervised by supervisor. Had 14 issues that needed to be fixed a month later only two issues addressed 12 remain in limbo

Not delivered home on time. Pavements already have cracks no one came to fix those. Kitchen blackslash half done.. i was told it will go all the way top.. i have submitted service requests almost month happened no one came to fix those issues. Attic was not painted properly.. Clean up of home was not done properly..

Everything fine until contract was signed. Responsiveness after was mediocre at best. KHov mortgage could not provide electronic documents and left it to us to "get it done". Provided numerous, signed electronic documents prior to closing only to be told at closing that KHov wanted signatures in person. ?? No tour of overall property, including clubhouse. Could not even provide detail on utilities and cable - only generic information. Workmanship: Final coat of paint AFTER electric switches and covers installed. Paint quality poor. "Gourmet kitchen and appliances" are really just average. We purchased the house in with finishes picked out, could not change anything. Only options we had were being able to pick out the handrail stain. We could have upgraded to carpet but chose not to pay the 5K extra. Overall purchase experience was a bad one, emails about issues sent, but reply's were sent back via text and visa versa. Very clever. Elevated a few times without ANY satisfaction. If you've ever dealt with a company that professes to be "experts" but in fact are clueless, this is the company. Our frustration was to the point that we requested our money back (in this market) about a week after the contract was signed - of course this was ignored. Suggest they take some basic "follow through" training. POOR experience. ... More

The ourchase experience was unpleasant as the communication with the sales representatiive was at times unclear and out right untrurthful. I was asssured thst the items tsht stillneeded to be clompleted after the cose would be taken care of quickly. I am not sure if the definition of quickly would be less than a month but I am sure it could not mbe more than a month as a matter od a measurement in time. It has been over a month and my lights come on an off in the house, the lights over the garagr has yet to be addressed. Additonally, the dales person outright told an untruth as to the property lines and the fencing on the property. The experience was unforgetable for all the wrong reasons. I regret not going to KB homes next door. ... More

I've had the worst experience and it's such a shame as I was so excited to be a KHovnanian home owner. The lack of attention to detail is disheartening. When asking to remove the paint stains in the carpet before moving in caused a permanent stain on my carpet. The closet had to be redone for lack of sturdy completion. The closet fixer walked into my home and dragged all his muddy shoes on my carpet, pictures were taking and sent in, carpet cleaner hired, he was extremely aggressive with his services causing straches all over my walls ( mind you the paint stains on the carpet were not be able to be removed even though he was brought in for mud, so im living with stains on my carpet that I did not do,) concrete was called in for cracks needing to be fixed and now my master suite restroom is going to be gutted as the foundation is broken. I havent been able to use the left side of my restroom for the sinking whole. A new stranger will enter my home. Ive had 5 people eneter my home, in the middle of a pandemic, when i have elderly parents living with me, risking exposure for the lack of your worksman. I will never by a Khovnanain home again or recommend to others. This is a brand new home and these are the problems ive faced in the first month. ... More

Do your homework when you get ready to buy a home, you get what you pay for

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.

brand new house full of bugs. Call customer service amd they said was our problem not theirs. Couldn't sleep as they were crawlinh all over even the beds. Inside the appliances and closets..very terrible experience.

Window issues, heating issues, painting issues, custom shutter issues, electrical issues. However I am Confident they will take care of my issues.

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

Sales teams makes a lot of promises, then end up backing out of those promises. The folks they partner with are not great. Got solar and 5 months later still not connected. KHov finance missed insurance payments which were included in mortgage so a mess to clean up. Things not completely finished in the house. They keep telling you have 1 year warranty so just let them know but not all that easy to communicate and work with them.

I am not at all happy with quality of the home and materials that were used for construction when compared with other builders.

Very poor quality from builders to salespeople. I would not recommend or buy again from them

Terrible experience with builder. Poor quality, terrible communication, no care or attentiveness. Entire process was almost a year late and finish product was below industry standard, build team couldn’t have cared less. Simply awful people to work with and awful experience.

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 support with K. Hovnanian is completely inadequate. If you’re looking to purchase a new home, consider another builder. ... More

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.

I would never recommend this firm to anyone as they are the worst builder I have ever worked with.

Your company took advantage of a veteran wrote experience all the way through.

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 recommend Khov ... More

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 they installed incorrectly caused carbon monoxide leaked, and their home warranty manager said no. How rediculous it is. Their mistake could kill us, and k. Hovnanian home warranty won’t give us a new HAVC reimburse. So far, we still constantly hear pipes rattling sound between walls. I report it, and they told me it was normal because of weather. I still constantly hear that even though it was a good weather. ... More

Poor Construction Quality & Slow in Resolving issues. I will not recommend any of my friends to buy the property with khovnanian homes.
