K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Washington, WV

These houses are second to no others. Lovely design houses

My significant other and I love our new home and really appreciated all the time and effort that went into it from Kristen Dave Jeff and especially Ms. Karen! Thank you!

Our experience was the absolute best. Russ, Joe and Karie did an amazing job for me and my family. From the introduction to the property to the receiving of our keys, it was truly remarkable and amazing. Russ kept us informed every step of the way. Joe helped resolve our concerns and Karie helped put everything together for us on the financial end and kept me and my family feeling positive of a great outcome. We got our home!!! And it was truly Inpart to these three and their team. Thank you again.

Our overall home buying experience with KHOV was not as great as we anticipated. We have been understanding that the current industry norms has impacted the builder’s ability to deliver homes more timely. With that being said, for our community (New Post in Fredericksburg, VA), the issues were compounded by lack of communication and accountability with regards to issues with the home, quality of the craftsmanship, and not to mention we went through 3 different project managers for this community, causing added constraints to the timeline of home delivery and further breaking down the lines of communication. I’ll also mention that we had both a pre-drywall and pre-delivery private home inspection, where many different concerns were brought up and yet, the builder never took the time to thoroughly go through the report and give us feedback on the items. Additionally, we requested some things be given a written explanation about what the builder did address or wouldn’t or didn’t think would need to be addressed in the report, including a concern about mold in the attic. They left a lot of it up to their contractors, even though they knew that they were having some trouble with reliable and quality workers. The list of problems that arose with the quality, range from questionable practices of the contractors to attention to detail and thoughtfulness. A major disappointment is the poor installation and treatment of the lawn sod prior to us moving in, which has resulted in many dead grass spots and more out of pocket costs to address the situation. I find it to be very unprofessional and unethical to have someone move in with their lawn in that condition, in addition to some of the conditions of other areas of the home. Many of our neighbors are having similar issues. The builder made verbal promises to follow up with our sod, and even though we have been investing a lot of time, energy, and money into our lawn care, they have yet to do their part or due diligence to correct the issues with the sod/yard. These “broken promises” and disappointments have seemed to be a resounding theme amongst those of us who already moved in! For instance, one of our neighbors incorrectly had two different types of stone installed for the wrap around of their front porch and the builder still has not fixed this. Another neighbor had a huge hole in their subfloor and had their flooring installed right on top of it and they still have a list of items that are yet to be addressed. All of us were delivered a dirty/dusty home, including some of us having dirty carpets, and we are all still waiting (collectively over 2 months) for the cleaners to come back. Our overall home buying experience with KHOV was frustrating and we feel like we would never build with KHOV again. It has been disappointing, to say the least. ... More

Becky, Blue and team were very responsive to my questions and concerns. They genuinely cared about every aspect of the process as though it was their home. This was very much appreciated by my family and I as we purchased during a pandemic!

There were lots of offers. We paid for changes and upgrades for our home; however, Tyler never gave us the opportunity to pay for an office door and a deck which we really wanted. Since he did not offer us the opportunity to upgrade or select those options, we believed it was included in the price of the house. We were very specific and clear to him that we wanted our house with the same options as the model home. That’s why we asked for the upgrade of the guestroom with full bathroom, the Sun deck with the a lamp and the office . Exactly as the the model house. That did not happen. We were left with an office with no doors and what bothers us more is that our garage was used to store office doors for one of our neighbors. During the construction of our house in our garage was a door for the office. That is the reason why we did not say anything earlier because we thought those doors were for our office. When we were told that our office came without doors and no deck, it was too late to cancel our contract resulting in never trusting a salesperson again. We felt tricked and even complained and asked Tyler if he thought we did not have the money to buy upgrades. There should be no reason to trick people to buy your houses. ... More

The drywall finishing inside the house looks good…but on the garage it is the worst I have ever seen. It would be better to not do anything, like for me that I choose finish the garage would be way better.

Good company and easy to work with.

My wife and I love our home. We’re very thankful for James, the site lead. He’s been very helpful and attentive to any of the questions or needs we might need regarding the home.

We only have good things to say about our experience with K. Hovnanian. The entire process went very smooth, from browsing the model units, checking the progress of the construction, to buying our townhouse. We are very happy in our new home. Workmanship and materials are of high quality. Kudos to Jack and James for their expertise and responsiveness. They were awesome and extremely helpful throughout the whole process.

I purchased this home at a reduced price on a county program. Maybe I received subpar service/products because of that. Either way, I would NEVER purchase at full price from K.Hovnanian based on my experiences with the salesperson, the construction managers, and the warranty manager.

Dave and Rafael were great and very accommodating!

The sale representative (Joey) was really nice and responsive to our questions and request. Most of the construction managers (Matthew and Ricardo) were nice, addressed our concerns quickly and in timely manner. The whole home buying experience with KHOV was acceptable. Many times, there are lack of communication between the construction and the rest of the team which left us frustrated at the settlement because of the delays.

David , James and Raphael were great team of people to work with.

Loan process was very good. First time I’ve seen flat paint in kitchen and bathrooms, usually semi-gloss. Just a few towel racks.

It was hard to buy a house sight unseen as the models were not available when we bought. But through the whole process Gene was outstanding in answering every question we had and if he didn’t know he would find out and get right back to us. Awesome ambassador for your company. After move in Mike, Dave and Jamie have been just as impressive and extremely helpful. Everyone we have dealt with has been so helpful and friendly.

Responsiveness and attention to detail.

The team and Khoh , especially Carmel went out of the way to help make our home buying experience stellar.

The team is very responsive to my requests to fix any defects. The defects &imperfections are understandable since we are experiencing unprecedented labor shortage and supply chain issues

Until you actually live in a home for a while, you don’t notice all of the issues that escape you on your initial visit. Walls were not properly prepped prior to painting. I use blue tape so as not to put marks on the wall itself. When tape is removed the paint comes with it. Painters were sloppy while around trim work (paint on floor). Front door casing not level which allows light and air in. Cheap vinyl flooring. Cracks in ceiling where tape is coming loose. Little things like this annoy me because it appears there is no pride in what is produced and supervised.

Love working with Erica from the moment I signed the contract till the very end she made sure I was aware of everything. She was by far the most caring person.

Great experience! Special thanks to Susan in (Sales Team) and Dan (Construction Management).

There were many challenges for home construction during the COVID-19 pandemic. K. Hovnanian Homes were able to overcome many difficulties to build a high-quality and beautiful home for us - despite the delayed closing date. The weekly email update with photos from the VP of construction near the end was very informative. The site manager was very thorough, friendly and helpful.

My husband and I will never recommend Khov to anyone based on our experience. We do not believe the KHov sales team was forthright with information leading up to closing. The KHov sales team were also completely unavailable on the day of closing with the exception of the onsite construction manager who processed our final walkthrough. We ran into construction issues during our final walkthrough and could not get through to anyone to discuss next steps or delaying closing until the issues were resolved. This put us in a position of having to decide whether to be in default or go to closing with a blemished home with zero input on next steps from KHov. As for build quality, there were numerous issues with the vinyl flooring on the first two levels including excessive bubbling, scratches and large gouges bad enough you could see the subfloor. We were told the problems were related to the material, that they were having issues with multiple properties and that KHov management was working on a solution. We were also assured the issues would be resolved before closing. When we inquired about exactly how they would be resolved and expressed our concerns over large scale patching we were not provided a clear response. On our final walkthrough we discovered the repairs were also done poorly with more bubbling, blemishes in multiple places and multiple new areas with debris under the vinyl resulting in visible sharp bulges in the flooring that were not there on the initial walkthrough. KHov worked with the flooring subcontractor to come in and fix the new flooring issues after closing but we were never told what the subcontractor did to fix the flooring issues even after multiple emails requesting more information. Overall, this was not a smooth or pleasurable process and it seemed like their only concern was making sure we got to closing before the end of the sales month. ... More

The entire buying process was made smooth and easy. Russ was an absolute pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to help me and my family. Would recommend to anyone.
