K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Houston, TX

Would buy from another builder. Very poor quality on workmanship and materials. Had several issues with home and refused to properly fix. They try to hide all issues and rig up repairs. 1-issue of many I just fixed on my own was had to re-level front yard. There were huge humps and holes in front and back yard. Took 8-wheelbarrows of trash, concrete and debris underneath grass; which caused all the grass to die. Can not install grass on trash. Cost me an additional 1500.00 extra out of pocket right after moving in. They don not fix or want to fix anything. Also they will not install grass in the back yard. Overall will never ever buy another house from K-HOV or recommend to anyone I know. ... More

A nightmare everything was delayed and communication was mediocre

This is a great builder with great product for the price point Lots of value !!! I would recommend that you make sure you get a good sales person to help the homebuyer process go as smooth as possible. My salesperson did not do a good job of making my experience memorable .

Cooperate is awful. The office was terrible with customer service.,, Construction Manager was all that was helpful through the entire process.

Home wasn’t signed off as completed until April 26th and we were set to close on the 28th. The lender needs a final appraisal which takes 1-2 weeks. They deemed K Hovnanian’s tactics unethical and went back on their assurance to cover the costs associated with delay of closing. I ended up being saddled with thousands of dollars of fees and paid after threats to relist the house. I see the fault on the side of all party’s except mine, yet I was the one saddled with undue financial burden. Before and since then the team was a pleasure to work with but experience really ruined my ability to talk well about the K Hovnanian organization ... More

Everything was really bad,sales person had family emergency and really nobody was there to kinda cover even to give us the key of our 1st house. Youall change construction manager like 3 times and except for Gary (the las one) they didn't do nothing right. The day I was supposed to receive my brand new house was not finished and had buch of trash in the garage and back yard . I would never recomen or buy again from this constructor.

Working with K. Hovanian staff was a living nightmare. I was lied to throughout the entire process. Several people dropped the ball on K. Hovanian’s end which jeopardized my home purchase more than once throughout the process. I was repeatedly given the run around and told things that were false. They made several mistakes in my application and then tried to make me bring extra money to the table. When they gave additional incentives to make up for their mistakes they then continued to throw the incentives they were giving me in my face saying things like”we are bending over backwards to help you”. No, you are bending over backwards because I’m holding you accountable and making you fix the mistakes YOU made and the misinformation K HOVANIAN staff provided. The house itself is beautiful and I love it, but I would not buy from them again and will be sure to tell everyone I know not to. This was not my first home purchase, so I understand the process. It does not have to be as stressful and difficult as K Hov made it. They repeatedly tried to take advantage of me and thankfully my realtor had my back. It’s not worth the stress. I literally lost weight from the stress. Even when closing came, they lied and said I could close on 3 different occasions when the house was not actually complete and move in ready. Run away from them. Do not walk. ... More

Worst homebuying experience. Many issues.

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.

Once you sign on the dotted line, you will receive the runaround. Beware.

Terrible. Wouldn’t recommend anyone using them.

Overall the craftsmanship is horrible. Even when the come in to make repairs the people that come back are rude, lazy and don’t feel like they should have to make corrections and they do it just as bad as the first time. Lois is wonderful and very helpful and Justin tries to keep things flowing and done correctly but the guys that work on these houses need a constant babysitter. I am very disappointed in the process and the workmanship.

Very disappointed in the workmanship of our new home. It is a beautiful home with a beautiful layout but the repairs have been non stop since we moved in making it very hard to enjoy. If they just made sure things were done correct the first time it would make the experience more enjoyable.

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 employment. They said no. They will pressure you into their mortgage broker, and ask for all pertinent documents last second. We were on the road traveling from the east coast, we told them weeks ahead of time when we were moving so make sure all the documents were received before then. They called us on the road demanding we give them whatever document or else they couldn't promise we could move in when we agreed. They will also sell your mortgage within a week of your purchase so don't expect to deal with them long term for your mortgage. They also will not be present at closing and will not give the keys to the broker. You will sign for your home and not have access to it until they are available to give you YOUR keys. Then the construction. Every single door in our house has damage on it. Many of them did not sit square before any of the settling occurred. Knicks, cuts, dings in the drywall prior to our move in. Many of the light switches are wired backwards which I will now have to go behind them and fix. The floors were dirty, the whole interior was covered with sawdust, grout dust, and whatever else. Many places on our floor were over grouted, our tiles in the kitchen and bathroom had huge grout gaps and were not set flush. So many things in our house are off square that it is glaringly annoying. When they come to fix issues, they will do it in a way that causes another problem. Example: the office French doors were so far off square the one door did not sit in the other. So they came to fix it. All he did was loosen one screw on the strike plate and lower the plate slightly. Now the door drags the other door when you open or close because the wood contacts the bottom of the plate. But hey, at least it doesn't just push open! K. Hovnanian does not care if the product you receive is worth the money you pay. Our old home was 25 years old when we bought it 11 years ago and it had less issues than this 2023 new construction. I could give you dozens of reasons to stay away from a K. Hovnanian construction, but no one has the time to read a Charles Dickens novel on the internet. TLDR: Stay away from any construction made by K. Hovnanian. ... More

I was excited to choose K. Hovnanian as a builder for my next home. The reviews received from colleagues and friends were great. However, my experience was not the same. After completing the Inspection, there were over 30 pages of issues ranging in severity of replacing 2 of 3 thermostats, rewiring upstairs due to HVAC system installation issues, builder forgot to order all appliances (microwave and dishwasher) failure to install garbage disposal, loose shingles, and severe cracks in the garage, front porch and back patio, no grout in bathroom tiles causing several to be replaced, failure to install plumbing in master bathroom under sinks, and 2 broken exhaust fans, holes in sheetrock in garage that was taped and painted over. Luckily on the final day of walkthrough while standing in the garage with the builder, the wind blew - exposing the holes. The top railing system became dislodged from the wall while the builder's realtor was walking through the home. After realizing the appliances were on backorder, the builder installed a broken GE dishwasher. Unfortunately, I did not request or pay for a 3rd inspection to ensure the dishwasher was working properly. After discovering the dishwasher was in fact broken, I called the builder who came by and agreed but informed that since it was after closing, I must go through the warranty department at GE. To date, the dishwasher still does not work, and that model is on back order until October 7, 2022. I have a brand-new K, Hovnanian home that is not fully functional. These issues also caused the home to not appraise at the sales price! After sharing my experience with the same colleagues, I learned that the Seasoned Project Managers have moved to a new neighborhood to begin construction. Understanding that everyone does not have the same work ethic or level of standards, has caused me to not recommend K. Hovnanian to anyone and warn all others that its business model is not the same so proceed with caution. ... More

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

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

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. The K Hov people are okay but just buy another home. ... More

I should never close on my house before they fixed all the problems that we had with the house. My house looks like s. They put dry grass on it and promised me they’ll replaced. I’d closed on my house and more than 30 days ago and I haven’t moved in they just fixed half way. I’ll get a painter my self to fixed probably. Disappointed is my status

Very poor quality of finished materials throughout the house inside and outside. They are still having trouble fixing the details that are not finished and they have been working for 2 weeks. I regret having bought this house from all the details that I have found throughout the house and I only have 3 weeks living in it.

If you like your peace of mind, stay away from KHOV and their team

Our home buying experience with KHov has been terrible. We paid over $500k for a home that looks like it was built by amateurs. We expected far more quality for the price paid. Regardless of “spec level”, we paid over $500K for our home. The workmanship and quality is awful. I wish I could rewind time and get my money back. My only hope is that the warranty team will fix it and make it right. Our building managers were completely terrible. Non-responsive and full of lies and excuses. I will never refer anyone I know to KHov. I would not want them to experience what we did. Bottom line, we got screwed! ... More

Very disappointed with the quality of the workmanship as well as the quality of the products being used in the construction. Right now, I have a major issue with 2 bathroom tubs that pop and crack everytime you step in them and the issue still hasn't been resolved going on 2 months now. Very disappointing. Would not recommend this builder to anyone.

Blinds are falling off everything in the house is cheap shower starting to fall apart came to fix the door got ruined again cheap house for the price no dining room some windows can’t open big disappointment
