Great build

  • Anonymous

We love our new home. K hov uses high quality materials and it is a strong build. The map fit our needs perfectly. Rick and Keith were great but the people working for the contractors often do not follow through with instructions and there were several unfinished things even at the time of closing. I just wish they would refine the finishing touches without us having to ask so many times.

Makes sure issues are handled

  • Anonymous

Every builder is, of course, at the mercy of the local trades; but what sets builders apart is how they fix and take care of issues with the build. KHOV does this. They take care of the issues/make sure they get taken care of, and are responsive and agreeable with regard to fixing the inevitable issues that arise from the local trades. Overall, a great home and a great builder.

Average quality for a new hoise

Upgrades are not worth the money. You can get more quality work done by other contractors. Khov could have used more quality paint job, finishing garage and better bathroom fixtures

Poor Communication

  • Rashmikant B.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • November 20, 2023
  • Old Bridge, NJ

KHov has a good model selection to choose from. Through out the process the communication was not that great related to delay in closing date. Once we moved into the house, issues resolution seems to take for ever. We’re still waiting for fixes that were reported 3 months ago! Paint job was average and floor needed to be cleaned several times!

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:
Hi Rashmikant, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We do apologize if there any inconveniences during your experience with us as we tried to be as transparent as possible concerns that were arising. We have sent your message to local management and were informed that the flooring concern has been addressed and is currently scheduled for repair and that someone will be coming over to inspect your countertop.

New Condo

  • David G.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • November 17, 2023
  • Woodbridge, VA

We love our new condo. It is beautiful and comfortable. The people working with us during construction were friendly and helpful. The reason for the lower rating is for two reasons. First, the construction was delayed 10 months later than the timeline we were originally given, which cost us a huge amount to store all of our our household goods and to pay for temporary housing. Second, the floor had damage upon move in, leading me to believe it is a cheaper product.

Hi David, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We do apologize if there were any inconveniences during your Khov experience.

A Few Issues

  • Ronald Z.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • November 15, 2023
  • MAGNOLIA, TX

Overall, things seem okay as we begin to live in our home. I see quality issues on on some things such as fencing, the shape our grass was in when we moved in (dead), and the wash out of the dirt in our yard after a big storm that wasn't replaced before putting in the grass. Unhappy with the fact that the bathrooms don't have a medicine cabinet or towel holders. Something new homeowners shouldn't have to worry about installing or ordering. After moving in and starting to put away things in the kitchen cabinets, I noticed they are not normal sized cabinets as far as width. I cook a lot and I ...

The builder up holds his word on corrective action. Building flaws are inherent in all builders as the nature of the business is. But all in all they were diligent in all issues. Cosmetics, building structure, Supply chain issues of the past. A builder who can weather what these times can throw at the them. Quality.

I had a great experience with K.Hov as a first time home buyer. Not knowing what to expect or should expect with the process, K.Hov made it easy and provided a high level of customer service along the way. Everyone has been nice, responsive, and have done the right thing when questions have come up after the sale.

WORSE EXPERIENCE

  • Oluwabusuyi O.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • November 15, 2023
  • Glenn Dale, MD

This was the worst buying experience from the beginning to the end, the experience was a headache. The whole team from the sales people Erica, the building manager Joe were arrogant, dishonest, and rude. The house was falling apart soon as we moved in. No one seems to care about where things are placed or how things are done. Lots of errors, mistakes and break downs were found after moving in. Quality of the materials and labor used in building the house was very cheap. The overall experience was dissatisfying to us.

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:
Hi Oluwabusuyi, sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your recent home building experience. We are aware of the service request you've made, and our team has completed those requests.

Most Frustrating Disappointing Experience

  • PASADENA, TX

The salesman I was unfortunately doing business with made used car salesmen look like paragons of virtue and truth. Nothing and I mean NOTHING this conman said was even remotely connected to the truth. Maybe this is what K Hov wants in its sales force to get inventory moved by hook or crook but I can't imagine this type of behavior will not come without severe loss of reputation. This is supposed to be a highlight to one's life but my experience was anything but. If i could have given less than zero on trustworthiness I absolutely would have done so.

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:
Hi Joseph, thank you for taking the time to leave review. We've reached out to local management and was informed that the initial home you wanted was sold and that the loan program had changed its promotion during the time you decided to buy a home.

After leaving military service, my wife and I wanted to move back home to Texas from our last duty stations. We bought a new construction home as a forever home which now we cannot wait to leave. The sales(buying) experience was terrible. This is not our first home so we knew how things should go. K. Hovnanian will pressure you and give you zero time to consider their offers. I wasn't even sure I had a solid job offer (wife got her job first) and the offer they gave us on a Saturday night was only valid through Sunday, I begged them to give me until noon Monday so I could confirm ...

Moved in 1 month early but not too quality

  • Anonymous

  • Celina, TX

The process of building the house was pretty good even though much of it had to be done from out of state. Nick in sales was very responsive and accommodating. The build was done 1 month early which was a major benefit for our family. The process of buying was smooth with Khov financing even though our 1st payment never went to Khov because they sold the loan the day after we signed. The warranty support has been prompt. The longer we are in it, though, the more we can tell that the quality of work in some places is sloppy. (Ex. tile work in the bathrooms, carpet laid over trash, missed ...

The entire process from start to finish was tedious as far as getting all the required documentation but the staff was patient and helpful as far as guiding you in getting it done in a timely manner The home is simple but elegant with quality in mind. The team was always there for you to answer your questions in a timely manner. The builder did is best to offer you a beautiful home despite the higher home cost, climbing tax rate, shortage of materials needed and increase in labor cost

Good responsiveness to taking care of things once we moved in but excessive delay in completing condo (10 months) and lack of information along the way created an overall poor experience.

Could be better

  • Robert W.
  • Verified Homebuyer

  • Woodbridge, VA

Condo building is not very senior citizen friendly - garages too narrow, doors to trash & storage rooms & garages are not handicap accessible. Even if you are not handicapped, the narrow garages making getting out of a medium-sized SUV very difficult and doors in common areas are heavy to open, and if you have something in your hands, forget it. Three of my neighbors have had issues in first 90 days with their units as have we. Issues were fixed, but not a pleasant experience.

Still waiting for all of the repairs to be made that we marked with blue tape the week before I received the keys. The flood in the laundry room caused by lazy workmanship and the lack of timely repairs was a nice added bonus.. Must have put 40 pieces of tape on drywall and throughout the entire house and not one was addressed..
