K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons Reviews

With high demand for their product and supply chain issues, I think the team here, from sales through construction managed very well. There were a few hiccups along the way with supply chain issues, but the C.M. handled them as expeditiously as possible. Communication could be improved, but the final product was as we thought it would be. Finishes, especially the kitchen and baths were above par. You have to remember you are working with a tract developer and getting familiar with the various upgrades and what you can and cannot have done is important to a less stressful process. Waiting to recieve final offical punchlist. mostly cosmetic ... More

As with a new build, You must be "patient" and be educated on how a new build of your home transforms. This is a new norm unfortunately of delays both from materials and the labor workforce. The problem is with every builder in the industry. The end result was well worth the wait. Communication is the key to a positive outcome.

Great experience in coordination of mortgage insurance and closing. Value is good. Slow to resolve maintainence items indentified just after closing.

Construction Supervisor (Dennis) was great!

I am loving my new home! Through the building process, I had a stellar experience with the construction manager and the design center. All of the individuals (2 @ construction and 1@ design) took the time to listen to my questions, find the answers, and make sure I was satisfied with the quality and service I received. While each of those individuals earned 5 stars, I gave just 4 stars overall because of some issues with sales. Though everything was resolved, it was a bit stressful and didn't have to be that way. In addition, leadership should reconsider the current policy of supplying a black refrigerator to everyone--even to those purchasing the gourmet kitchen option. Other than that, I love my new home and the community! ... More

Nick, our construction manager, and Stacey, our sales consultant, have been best parts of this build/move. They both were exceptionally receptive to emails and phone calls and made it possible for us to manage this build from 1100 miles away. It would have been a completely different experience if it wasn't for them, We were disappointed, however, in the materials and workmanship, specifically the painting, done in the house. There were many areas that had poorly painted walls, 'bubbled' texture, and overall sloppiness. Nick corrected all of the issues we had, but he had to even correct their corrections. I can't stress enough how professional and flexible Nick has been for the entire build. ... More

Our Salesperson Shannon was amazing! Extremely helpful throughout the entire process, addressing my many questions and concerns in a timely manner.

The closing date was rushed. Because on the of the final walk through prior to closing, the house had not been clean. Some of the Deficiencies that were indentified during the gold key walk through had not been addressed by final walk through. I returned after closing, the house was not cleaned and the garage had not been touched.

Nick was spot on with his schedule, of home building time frame

Barbara is easy to work with. Drew and Deb are both extremely knowledgeable about the home building process and are very upfront. We felt informed the entire process.

We were fortunate to find a Hovnanian house already built and ready to move in. We didn't have to play the waiting game. The house is lovely and room sizes are perfect for our needs. The color scheme is workable, and we love the amount of light in the house. We will enjoy making it our own.

Overall, I believe the home buying experience was good. I believe, thus far, that K. Hovnanian is a trustworthy company to do business with. The sales personnel were very good and very responsive to questions and the disbursement of information. We predominantly worked with one particular individual and she was very good and very helpful as we had a lot of questions both before we decided to build and after we had put down a deposit to build. The design center person was also very helpful and informative and was easy to work with. There were some issues that we were a bit disappointed with...we believe that the workmanship that was demonstrated in the models that we viewed, both on site and at another site, was much better than our finished house. There are a lot of finishing issues that we believe could have been much better. As far as the responsiveness to issues, the jury is still out on that one. There have been a few things that have needed to be addressed and they service line has not been all that responsive. In addition, we were supposed to receive a login to be able to report issues to the service center within 30 days of us settling on our home...we have not seen that yet and it has been past the 30 days. ...

The buikding process was much faster then we expected from contract signing to close ~ 6 months.

It starts with the Sales Personnel Mrs. Barbera. She was always available whenever we had a question from start to finish even when she wasn't working. That experience was so valuable to us because we never purchased a newly built home. We were told that we can visit at any time during the building process, but make her aware of those times because it may not be safe for us to enter during certain phases of the construction. We really enjoy our home and it is coming together with my wife's fabulous design capabilities.

At the meeting to review your new home a folder giving information about how to care for your new home and warranties would have been appreciated.

We did not know that we had to finish landscaping until we moved in.

The Covid virus outbreak precluded us from having a physical walk through inspection which would have probably taken care of a lot of things we had to discover ourselves. As such I do not blame K. Hovnanian for this. They did the best they can. Drew and Eban were very professional and responsive to questions. I was a little disappointed by the sloppy way the fire box in the fireplace was installed crooked. I'm still waiting for that to be corrected. My biggest concern is the sod lawn. It's the most lumpy, poorly laid sod I've ever seen to the point it is dangerous to walk across without fear of twisting your ankle. It's full of clover and large gaps. It will hopefully fill in eventually, but the sod in the models looks great. ... More

Warranty corrections are hit or miss with the vendors. We feel like there should be better control over the quality of the initial build. Some of the things that should be common sense weren’t accounted for. We love the neighborhood and the vibe.

Beautiful home, and community. But I should have a private home inspection done. This home was a move in ready home - built for another buyer - that deal fell thru. Many workmanship details are being discovered now that I moved in. Many corrections need to be done and it has become very time consuming on my personal time waiting for appointments and the issues to be corrected. I work full time - yet have to be home for these appointments to get things done. It is costing me time and money - for issues that could have and should have, been done right to start with. I HIGHLY recommend a private inspection to by done to protect the buyer’s interests, time and money. ... More

Garage Door Opener sounds horrible...very loud and creaky...makes me wonder if it will last long. We've had a lot of rain and while trying to sleep there are dripping noises which make it hard to sleep....Shower Pan potential slip hazard

Cheap quality facilities(commodes, tub basins,lighting) Not thoughtful with design (placement of outlets, natural gas connection, spickets)

House is very good

The buying experience was very good, with very helpful and friendly people. Now that we have been living here a few months, several issues have arisen which are quite disappointing. First, there is no HVAC vent in the bedroom portion of the primary bedroom, and also very little air coming from the vent in the sitting room. (The model we looked at had both of these vents, and in working order). Apparently, the bedroom vent only exists in the 4th floor units, which was never mentioned to us at all. Second, our entire building was never hardwired with Ethernet cable after being told during the buying process that it would be. Lastly, one of the things that intrigued us about the community is that there was a beach here. At least that is what a couple of the banners indicated when driving down Four Seasons Boulevard (which remain in place today). Come to find out there is no beach. All in all, we do truly enjoy living here, however there are a few items about which we felt misled and/or were conveniently forgotten. ... More

My sales consultant was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping me purchase my home and went above and beyond with the closing of the property.

Our new home is beautiful but don't look too closely at the way it was built. The design had to have been done by a very tall man, with ceiling-high cabinetry and an oven that is almost impossible to reach. The paint is watered-down builder's quality. Thank goodness for the "fix it" department, because they do their best to make everything right. The buying process, if you overlook the lending process, went very smoothly.
