K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews

I moved into my house during Covid and have been having work done since. The contractors are slopy and I've witnessed children working on the homes that are being built around me more that once. I feel the sloppiness of the contractors that KHOV are teaming with should be reconsidered.

Nice neighborhood, However, lacks the quality of work performed on the home (such as poor and incomplete paintwork, paint bubbles in the master bathroom walls, left cigarette butts through the front and backyard, incomplete landscaping, jobs incomplete throughout the home, trash left during building the home, and lack of consistency performed), My list of the items needing to fix continues to grow. I regret my purchase and would sell if I could. Sincerely, Unhappy with my home purchase

House was not ready when closed. VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP

Our experience is different than most as this is a second home and our primary home is out of state. With that, we found several pieces of the processes were less than satisfactory. For example, the cabinetry in the home is unacceptable. We did not realize this until after closing. Because the poor quality of the cabinets, we are now remodeling the entire kitchen. We took every upgrade possible with the home, I am not sure why were not told the widest kitchen drawer would be 12". Perhaps if I had asked more questions during the design phase, this would have been uncovered. I also asked the building supervisor to leave the towel rods and not install, as I had ideas of where I wanted them placed and did not want to repair sheet rock and paint. After viewing the home, none of the rods were left. I've called and he says he will re-order and bring by .... waiting. In addition, we closed 6 weeks ago and there are several punch list items that have not been corrected by the team. Again, all of this is extended due to second home and we are only able to visit 1-2 x a month on the weekends. The overall construction and quality of the home is good - however, you need to be knowledgeable about construction and a sqeaky wheel to get resolutions. ... More

More concerned with closing then getting it right

Devin in the sales department was amazing. He went above and beyond to answer questions and assist in every way possible. He always made me valued as a customer. I was reluctant to buy another KHov product due to the awful experience with my first home in Plantation Lakes. Even after 4 years in that home, I never had a 1 year walk thru. This townhouse was purchased because it is what I could afford as a single mother. KHov has the potential to be a great company, but they cut corners when hiring skilled craftsman. I have crooked walls because of drywall finishing being done sloppily. I have nail pops in a row all the way down almost every wall. This just goes to show you that they are in a hurry to slap things together. ... More

You can hear everything between the first and second stories, even others using the restrooms. There needs to be more sound barriers added between both floors. The back yards should come finished . That’s a lot of money to come up with after you just used a lot of money for the purchase . It’s should come in the price

My entire Home should have all Bronze Light Fixtures and Hardware, instead it has Silver Light Fixtures and Bronze Hardware, That's not what I order for my Home.. everything I ordered was Bronze, What A Joke!

When going through looking at the framing, noticed a lot of the studs were spliced together or has a secondary board braced next to it. Lots of bad cuts where joints had open gaps. Boards were splintered or cracked and were used with support instead of being replaced. Not the quality we were expecting.

There is a definate lack of quality control during the handover to the owner. It is clear that during the build all trash, excess nails, wires, screws are just swept into the backyard and burried. The features are not well thought out do not work well with all models. Some features do NOT have professional planning involved, it seems they where options to raise the overall purchase price. Every container of paint left was open and unsealed. Many minor details that lead to a long lasting easy to maintain home are overlooked or not an option. The finance company associated with KHOV should be audited and does not follow proper protocol. The floor is very nice. Cabinets are worth the upgraded stain. The neighborhood here has a good vibe and the abjacent open desert is nice for walks. ... More

We were very disappointed with our new home. The workmanship and materials were not what we expected for the price we paid for our new K. Hovnanian Home. Some of the issues -- the paint was thin, the carpet and pad are low quality even though we paid for an upgrade; the seams on the carpet are sticking out in most of the doorways; the grout work is very poor quality; a couple of the bathroom sinks were chipped and the repair work was shoddy at best; the frames of the windows and sliding glass doors are stained with paint/sealant and were not cleaned; and the house had not been thoroughly cleaned prior to our moving in. ...

I was disappointed. While I'm happy to be in a new home. The service and responsiveness was awful. I think I have gotten better service at bestbuy when looking for a DVD player. I was pretty much called as liar when I brought up issues with the build and workmanship was not the best. I found doors barely hanging on by a screw because hinges were loose. Garage door not centered. Stairway to basement butchered up. And the response to these issues were not addressed in a satisfactory manner. Especially since it's a purchase of 250k!... like I mentioned, I get better service at a store buying a $50 appliance ... More

The sales team were wonderful to work with and were very responsive through the sales process. However, the options offered by K. Hovnanian were far below industry standards. For example: it was extra for the electric garage door opener, it was extra for the man door in the garage, it was an extra for the 220 in the laundry room (we received it only after we demanded to get it put in) and it was extra for ceiling fans. All of the items listed were included as not an extra in our last two new home purchases, and were included in other models we toured. Additionally, we had to find the paint colors and obtain touch up paint as it was not included in our package. That is unheard of! The follow up from the warrantee and construction team is very poor. We have had to paint areas that we pointed out in our punch walk and there is still blue tape on other areas that has never been followed up on since. I am in the Construction industry, and with the exception of your sales force, we have found the design, construction and warrantee teams performance below standard when compared to others. ... More

This builder cuts corners and uses the cheapest subcontractors. It shows in the finished product. Plastic push-pull shut-off valves? C'mon, that's substandard. We also have gaps in recessed lighting and cabinets and poorly hung doors. Even our A/C unit was installed incorrectly.

Check every detail of the house before you sign off.

I have nothing good to say about KHOV, I regret this home purchase everyday.

Home owners have reached out to the builder to ask about several issues with the HOA, we have pointed out that the bylaws state the first annual HOA meeting was supposed to be held January 31 2026 but they refuse to hold a meeting. As it stands homeowners are paying their annual dues with nothing to show for it, but the builder sure is happy to pocket that money. If you decide to walk into a sales office walk out, if you decide to stay ask them for the bylaws that will govern the half million dollar home you’re about to purchase then ask your self “if KHOV won’t honor these bylaws what else will they refuse to honor?” ...

Our entire experience with K. Hovanian has been a disappointment. We used K. Hovanian as our lender which was our first mistake. The incompetence of their lending department was breathtaking. It was hard hard to comprehend that this company could make so many errors and cause so much confusion. After we finally moved in, it turned out K. Hov installed a defective sump pump was lend to one inch of water in the crawlspace within 30 days of moving in. It took K. Hov three and one-half weeks to ensure all the water was gone, remove the mold and remediate the crawlspace. What a nightmare. Our present issue is that the sod laid is clearly substandard as evidenced by all the houses around us. I have requested that someone from K. Hov come and inspect our almost dead sod only to be told that it is not their responsibility to replace sod that is almost dead. We have been in the house three months, and are not looking forward to our next issue that probably will not be resolved. I would not recommend K. Hov to anyone. ... More

There was a blockage caused by drywall residue in sewer pipe that the condenser drain was going to in HVAC closet in 2nd floor which cause flood in 1st floor. And I had to go through warranty company that send vendors that were slow and took 2 weeks to do the job of 2 days and causing loss of use. By hiring vendors that are unprofessional and are not taking responsibility.

Purchaser a condo in Hovanian Locke Landing few months ago. Already had flood on lower level and how to turn the ceiling and wall. Tube drain from HVAC condensation line is out in a small pipe that flooded the lower level. I was told is full of drywall material and debris. The warranty people don’t respond quickly and put you on hold for a long period of time. The company that they sent for water mitigation brought a big bucket & put the pipe in it while waiting for the Carpet to dry for a couple of day. As well as inside the walls needed to dry up for preventing it from molding, when they return to take the equipment, they realized their bucket was broke and had a long crack in the bottom, and didn’t hold any water I know we have a bigger problem now to resolve and it extends their slow repairs process. I’ll update my review as this event unfolds. ... More

Poor workmanship, unfinished at delivery, items promised during sales process were not honored.

getting things rectified after the closing is a challenge. many hours and follow ups of communication and very slow if any response

They use cheap materials to build houses. Just moved in August. Things has started falling apart. I will never recommend this company to anyone.

We had issues that caused warranty to get involved. We were greatly inconvenienced by a mistake that someone made when building our home. For the first 3 months of living in our brand new home we had basically a construction zone. There is still things that look patchy and rough but we are told that isn’t covered under warranty and there is nothing that can be done. We are tired of trying and are giving up hope that they will do anything to make it right. Any time we ask a question about something they never have the answer and say they will get back to us but then we have to follow up. We had to have family travel from out of town to be at our house during their repairs since they were unable to come outside of our working hours. The lack of communication between the warranty department and the people that they send out is terrifying. ... More

Our sales person, Chris was good when we met for the first time. After signing the contract, Chris kept us updated on progress, issues (there were many), and changes, as well as answered all of our questions. Once we walked the house and did the blue tape walk, we thought everything would be fixed…NOPE, only a few things were and the other tape just removed. As we continue living in the house, the poor quality just keeps appearing from poorly cut trim pieces (meaning I recut and filled in with caulk) to caulk everywhere that you normally wouldn’t want caulk (around all the toilets, on the faucet-not around, some areas for quarter round moulding have it and other places in the same room don’t, etc), the craftsmanship is HORRIBLE. Now when submitting and trying to get warranty items fixed, they sit for weeks and months. They obviously do everything on their time, not when it’s convenient for the customer. Finally, when reaching out to folks, responses are limited if at all. Worst home building experience I have ever had! ... More
