K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons Reviews

Project manger James was excellent. Very responsive and helpful at every phase. Trades such as painter and cleaning crew are less than desirable. Painter never cleaned walls or fixed dry wall prior to painting. This caused a lot of touch up and repaints to happen. Which lead to lots of paint splatter on every floor which was left for home owners to clean up. Doors and trim were never cleaned. Trim work is very sloppy - mismatched corners nail holes not filled.

There is a lot to like about this house and unfortunately those things are overshadowed by some negative aspects of the buying and building process. Our closing was delayed 3 months and rather than delay any longer, we closed and moved in with multiple items unfinished and areas needing to be fixed. (Here's a sampling of problems: missing towel bars, crooked walls, damaged flooring, damaged kitchen cabinet door, backward closet door, damaged window screen, unrepaired holes in pantry & pantry shelf missing brackets.) Ours is not an isolated situation; others in the development report similar experiences. It's my understanding that these types of issues and delays are typical because builders (not just K. Hov) are unable to get reliable trades people and they run into problems with utility companies. However, the continuing delays and slow pace of repairs 6 weeks after moving in seems ridiculous and I have to wonder why they continue to start on new houses when previously built houses still need work. ...

Overall we have been happy with our purchase. The Sales person Adam was great. the mortgage folks were good, but the process is tedious due to all of the government requirements and regulations. Our home was built and delivered on time. We had a punch list of items to have corrected post closing and are still working thru some of those issues. Neighborhood, neighbors and amenities are great!

We had a good amount of resistance with the construction manager. But once we involved Jenn, things improved. As an example we still have issues of water retention at our front driveway-not yet sorted out

We loved receive consistent updates from Tom and always knowing what was going on with the house. I feel the quality wasn't the greatest in the drywall and also the placement of the electric outlets was not well design. Thanks

James did a good job of keeping us informed.

Our home is a quality build. This is our 5th new home and this home ranks as one of the best built.

Overall my experience with this home purchase has been good. The only issue I may voice will be the builders response to correcting building flaws. If this occurs in a timely manner my experience will continue to be good, if not it will result in a very poor experience.

The builders try very hard to bring everything together.

The sales associates were wonderful. Knowledgeable,helpful, insightful! Our contractor was helpful on many levels. The mortgage company was none of these!

The house is beautiful, however, there was some flaws that needs addressing. I've only been here two weeks so I'm trying to see how long it takes to address them.

The builder had to correct/change a lot of poor workmanship areas. In my opinion our inspector and the builder had to hold below average craftsmen/construction workers to a higher standard. K Hov’s builder was an excellent communicator & checked on as well as corrected multiple flaws. This especially evident in the painting. Zach had to request a change in painters. Our sales person was also instrumental in this process as well (Rick). The follow up after closing, for utilities, HOA specifics, & general information about the community was poor. The New Home Owners meeting for September & October were canceled & left us uninformed. ... More

I thought they said they’d replace filter in 30 days and it hasn’t happened in my first 2 1/2 months. Also promised a replacement closure for the bent one on my screened in porch door. Missing a downspout piece to divert water from my house in the front. But overall , love my house!

Always give late / delay in responses

Great and patient sales rep. Goos programs for home maintenance, etc. Moree transparency is needed regarding condo issues.

Nothing nor to add for review

Check the options prices before you buy. Sometimes it is worthwhile to get the basic and upgrade the house or remodel yourself. Weight the options!

The area between our house and our neighbor's house was a swamp. We found out later this had been an issue long before we closed on the house. When we contacted the warranty people, we were told by Jeff O. that our warranty for flooded turf was not under warranty. We tracked down our builder Dave P. and he managed to help resolve the issue. We had issues with Jeff O, the entire time on other issues as well. Finally, we just flagged down Dave P. and despite how busy he was, he managed to resolve any other issues within a couple minutes. The two stars reflects Jeff O. I would give Dave P Five Stars for responsiveness. ... More

HOMES PRESENT HIGH MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR HOMEOWNERS AND SEEMS LIKE FUTURE HOA INCREASES IN THE FUTURE WILL ADD TO HOMEOWNERS CONCERNS. ALSO FRONT LANDSCAPE DOES NOT HAVE MUCH APPEAL AT ALL IN MY OPINION.

The salesperson were excellent as the service manager, However, the response to issues related to the house is not good. The landscaping company took almost sixty days to respond for a concern, regarding flooding of the front yard . The quality of the materials is not good. The electric circuit breaker keeps going off even thought the electrician came to replace it.

house not cleaned properly before delivery, several things still not fixed, ( second Bath room Glass around the shower) garage door cracks/ snaps and creeks needs grease. the outside front plants are poor quality. several tape points still not painted, hole in wall under the light fixture in second bath not fixed and repainted . the greenery does an overall poor job. The layout of the second bathroom could be much better. Overall we like the house a lot.

Finish work was sloppy requiring several follow up visits by trades. . Concrete garage floor could not be cleaned Six time new home buyer including previous HOV. WORST FINISH WORK of all previous homes

Not a lot of inventory in south Florida so we bought here. The community is nice but the homes are ok. Construction isn’t great. The walls are very thin. Can literally hear EVERYTHING even when doors are shut. They told us our house would be ready within a year. It was almost 18 months before we closed. KHOV mortgage is terrible. Not flexible at all. Make you feel like you have to use them. We were made to use their title company. Even though we called and asked to use our own.

Firstly, one need to accept the fact they are purchasing a volume builder and not a custom home. For most of the residents in this development that has been the biggest challenge. Many items needing correction should have been found by the builder prior to our walk through. Missing shower doors, mirrors, and window screens and shelving installed in the wrong location should have been corrected prior to close. We love the community, amenity center, neighbors, sales agents, and location; however, more attention to detail could resolve many follow up call and corrective action after the fact would seem to benefits all concerned. ...
