K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Dallas, TX

Here are some big criticisms from our build: How disrespectful the contractors are about using the toilets when working in the house… How disappointed we were with the amount of trash and debris was in the yard and house during the build The house was not adequately cleaned when we took possession of the house… really sad Really sad that the materials, lighting, fans… how cheap they are. Mass ordered and look cheap The brilliant home package is very disappointing. They haven’t even completed our house install yet

Heather in sales is great! She is always professional, goes over and beyond to provide guidance. The communication, responsiveness of others has lacked. It seems like a lot of turnover. Were hopeful this improves with the new team on board. The construction vendors leave a huge mess with little to no clean up around us. Most recently, I had to clean up an entire shower panel of glass that a vendor broke in the street, glass was everywhere including street, sidewalk and grass. We reported it immediately as it was a safety hazard for adults, children, animals and cars. No one ever came. I finally had to flag down the manager a couple of days later in the neighborhood to show him the area of concern. He picked up the trim that was still left outside, but no other action was taken. With our HOA fees being extremely high with an additional $700 fee for a private road, this would be an area of growth for the company. ... More

Well I signed my contract on October 11, 2021 and did not close until April 21, 2023. So can I say it was a long process but eventually it happened. The financial portion was good plus I was a Mortgage Broker so I knew the documents needed. I’m very satisfied with the overall house and location. I know a lot had to do with the county of Dallas backloads but I had to pay a lot of money living month to month because the house was supposed to be completed on certain dates and that did not happen. But I appreciate all the phone calls and reassurance that it will happen, the completion.

Overall it was fine but closing experience was bad as no one called the day of closing & also the key handover experience was pathetic . The initial sales cycle was great but didn’t feel the same enthusiasm during Golden key handover & felt like we were just ignored after closing.

First never use Khov’s lender, you will see the reason why they give you incentives to use them, they are very incompetent. Home quality has reduced compared to when Khov’s integrity mattered to them. Everything in the home looks and feels cheap!

KHov plans are good and priced reasonably compared to other builders. Elevations could could be better though. Weekly updates are very good for buyers specially first time buyers. KHov did not increase prices after signing like some other builders. Response to escalations is very good. No flexibility to make changes after signing. Buyers can only choose from a designer package. No ala carte. Sales staff knowledge is questionable. Turn around time to fix issues raised by buyer should be improved. Construction quality is down.

Overall a pretty good experience with KHov. There were some issues along the way that should have been avoided but overall the experience wasn’t bad.

The khov builder build the house with very reasonable market price.

I really like the quality tile, flooring, fixtures, etc. available with the included smart home features. The house is well made, but the finishing was a bit underwhelming. Some door handles were installed crooked, door frames and baseboards were rough in some places and did not present a 'polished' finish. Patched sections of the ceilings and walls (from damage during construction,which is common) didn't look new even after a second pass. Early warranty claim was resolved, but required us to follow up weekly for updates. Overall, we really like the home and were pleased with the timeline during a period with significant supply-chain challenges. I would like to see KHov focus a bit more on high quality finishing-work, this is what a buyer is really going to notice. ... More

The experience was good until the end when I had to actually deal with my Construction Manager. Everything was to his standards time frame and no concern for the Customers input.

While somewhat disappointed in the quality for the price I paid, the quality of people that work for KHOV here in Liberty is top notch. I could not have been happier with my salesperson and home builder.

The home is lovely but there are several workmanship issues we weren’t expecting (Windows are not the same size on the top versus the bottom for example).

A K. Hovnanian home is worth looking into.

We identified several issues to the builder, they worked on it but it did not present the quality of work we expected, so we had to keep calling the builder to keep re-fixing again and again. We still have several open tickets, things are getting fixed slowly, but what a hassle. In general this is a good builder and they use quality materials (not the best, but still good). I you are paying top dollar for a house and expect detail oriented quality, find another builder.

The sales process was strong however the overall craftsmanship is below average especially when paying premium amounts for upgrades and features. Attention to detail was below average as well. The completion was nearly one month behind schedule. The construction communication and past follow-up responsiveness to issues has been strong.

Overall, the home has turned out to be about what we expected. There were several frustrations in the home building process; most notably, the kitchen we were promised turned out to be the result of an incorrect drawing, making it impossible to build as shown. This caused a 2-week setback and a major reworking of the kitchen that resulted in other issues. We now have a dysfunctional dishwasher that is drilled to the floor instead of on legs, which means that in order to repair it, we will inevitably need to have our kitchen floors torn up in the coming weeks. Our lawn has been described by our service manager as “in really bad shape” and stated that he is getting a bid to have the entire yard “reworked.” As with any new home, ours has its share of problems. The aforementioned, grouting issues, chipped sinks, painting eyesores, etc. Overall, it is a beautiful home that looks as we had hoped cosmetically. Hoping to get these larger issues resolved efficiently, and the service manager has been very helpful to that end so far. I understand that not all KHov customers can say the same about their service manager, so I count ourselves lucky for that. ... More

Overall, prior to purchasing my home - working with the builder was a good experience. However, it wasn't until I moved in that I found miscellaneous items that should have been fixed prior to me seeing the home. For example, I have spots of white paint on my gray walls - in several different places in my home. Because they are small and towards the celing areas, I didnt notice it during my walk through, Once I moved in - I reported it and was told paint is not under warranty. I am asking for mistakes made to be corrected and I was told no. I encourage the buyers to go through the home with a flash light because there was a lot of sloppiness in the work performed. If you dont catch it prior to closing, it will be a challenge to have it corrected. ... More

Our salesmen Beau was dishonest and told us multiple inaccuracies about of Spec home. Promised a closing date that could not be met and multiple changes to our plans with zero communication. Our builder Jake was the main reason we decided to finalize our purchase. He was upfront with us on the actual timeline for completion. He communicated with us daily when issues arose and ensured we were comfortable with the home. Couldn’t be happier with Jake and Aaron finishing our home.

While there are certainly many things to like about the house, location, and customer sales representative there also were too many problems along the way. Many delays, a lot of misinformation, failure to follow agreements without arguments, the worst finish grading job I've ever seen in my life, mediocre job of laying sod, mediocre finish carpentry work, absolutely stupid placement of the dining room light fixture, acute lack of kitchen & bathroom storage space. Other design issues inside and outside as well. We were relocating from out of state which made everything much more difficult. BE CAUTIOUS! ... More

I see so many things are ignored during the build process. It means there was not attention during construction process.

There was some perks such as incentive. I wish they had model homes visible to see to know exactly what your getting or blue print to go over what includes in the home and how and Carpet will be laid.

Warranty manager is great but the house is way over priced

Not satisfied with the overall experience. There was gas leakage and water leakage initially when they handed over the house. There are zero fans inside the house. Bathroom tiles are of not good quality.

Garage and Driveway were finished badly.

Personally, I went with Khov because I did not want to get in a “bidding war” with a pre owned house and because I felt that the price was close to what I was wanting. As mentioned in my title this was by first time buying a home. Personally I felt like there wasn’t any guidance. The seller just wanted to sell, the builder just wanted to finish up his build, and the mortgage person just wanted me to go through them. There was no clear communication to me as to “what was next” in the process. I felt like everyone just wanted to make their money and leave. I don’t want to get into details on everything, but in some cases there were unnecessary remarks/confrontation. I truly felt like things could of been better. At I felt like I was out in the dark on some things. But maybe this is the normal home buying experience and I am just unaware of it. ... More
