K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons Reviews

Overall it was fine! Seems like national builders all are about the same. There will always be issues regarding quality of construction. Luckily haven't had bad issues and for the most part they have been responsive. But beware if something breaks because they didn't install properly, you will be the scapegoat for why you don't get reimburse for the damaged item! Not sure quality materials are used always unlike a smaller builder we worked with - no comparison really. But I guess there are trade-offs with everything - it's a 55+ community that is active and lots of options to partake in! So... ... More

Overall had a good experience with the building process. Issues that needed to be address were taken care of quickly.

MMy salesperson Dylan was professional and helpful with everything from initial contract to closing. However after moving in I discovered. how bad the workmanship was. The painters oversprayed every window, the caulking seemed like it had been done by a first grader. Paint and caulking on virtually every floor. The cleaning crew was awful. Dylan the assistant construction supervisor is a gem. Spent hours trying to get everything cleaned up but there is still a lot to do. Now will have to depend on service to fix stuff

Stacey is awesome James is great, once you get passed his hard shell So many little things were not well done. If it was just a few, it would have been fine. But add them all up and it doesn't make for a great experience. We are moved in for a month and still finding things that shouldn't be.

Yes, would recommend, but would like to see more attention to details, would prevent problems later on.

The buying experience with Shannon was outstanding. She was professional, knowledgeable and responsive to issues. The follow up after the final walkthrough was nonexistent. Just poor. I was told a replacement cabinet door was due in and someone would be out to install it the next day. A month later, still not done. Hole in garage wall, I had my handyman fix. Cracked driveway pad near street still not fixed. Makes it hard to recommend KHov to friends looking to buy here.

We moved from our of state and could not be here for all phases of construction, I would not do that again. I should not have closed when I did. I love our builder Brent though, he is still working with us to work through issues.

The weatherstripping on the front door began peeling off after we lived in the house for one month. Obviously this was caused by either poor workmanship or a defective product. We did not appreciate Michael’s refusal to issue a work order because he claimed we damaged it and repair was our responsibility. When workers are in the area, what kind of service is this?

My garage floor has terrible cracks all over. The cracks were there when I moved into my house. I am disappointed with the quality of the materials used in my home. When you pay over one half of a million for a new home I expected much more.

As closing got nearer and issues found after closing still not resolved and it’s been two months. Two major things I paid for were never installed and I am still fighting to get them. Hired my own inspector during build. He found a few major issues and KHov refused to fix. For price of home I feel quality is not there. Once you sign on dotted line they become very independent. Also despite what they say you have to use their lender or it’s a different contract with lots of restrictions. Happy with community but not with building experience

Future buyers should be aware and not believe everything they are told.

The home seems to be quality, ut the followup to problems is very poor

The builder does not use the best quality material ie… wire shelves. They also dont use common sense in some of there choice on where to put things. Apparently they don’t know how to properly grade land for water runoff…

Need better follow up and more service employees.

I am a retired builder. Based on my years in the industry, the quality of some of the subs is poor. Construction housekeeping is poor at best so cleanup during construction and protection of existing finishes needs much improvement. Not enough time is allotted to punch list corrections before closing and, after closing, correcting punch list/warranty items has been very slow if non-existent

make sure when you do the walk through that everything you see is written down and double check. take your time don't settle for the excuses given by the rep.

The overall sales process was positive but that’s where the positives ended. Workmanship is very poor and very rushed. Lots of residents are having major issues and we’ve had our share as well. If your thinking about building a home with khov make sure you get both a pre and post drywall inspection and get ready to shell out a lot of money post closing.

Sloppy finishes, poor materials, poor supervision, drainage not in accordance to approved drawings. Will not recommend to a friend.

Trustworthiness 1 star is for their finace company only! Without our abuse we received for financing the overall experience would be 5 stars. Huge mistake choosing Hovnanian American Mortgage to save 35,000 in building costs. Quoted 10 year mortgage at 5.6% and weeks before closing got call saying that’s expired and the best we can do is 20 years at 8,25 820+ credit score and 70% down. Then they delayed our closing to the day before Thanksgiving because we opened a Costco card and put down 1500 extra interest that we earned while waiting for closing. Had to cancel family plans for Thanksgiving, reschedule movers, deliveries and contractors. Buyer beware if you use their financing option. They sold the loan within 30 days. Right there speaks volumes. The rudest people I ever dealt with The buying and construction experience was superb. ... More

My home is lovely and well-made. If I stayed within the 4 walls, I might feel more positive overall. However, there is a huge building campaign going on and the beauty of the property is being sliced up into an army of small homes. This was not apparent to me in the artist rendering of the property when I was looking at the property. Construction trash is blown around and there are discarded bottles and trash on the grounds. I loved the birds and natural beauty of the water and grasses, but there is no way to get out to the water unless one walks all the way to the clubhouse. The wildlife that used to live here are pushed back. The buildings are overlit and overheated and homeowners pick up that expense in HOA dues. I am planning my departure, ... More

All the people at K Hovanian Homes are wonderful. Unfortunately the build quality is not. The Sales Person, Loan Manager and Project Manager have all been extremely helpful and friendly, and approached our interactions with a personal touch. The designers have created floor plans that are creative and livable, and maximize the use of space. However the contractors let this team down, with numerous examples of sloppy work, poor quality and unprofessional finishing, particularly with concrete, drywall, painting, tiling and finish work. I have to keep reminding myself that these are cookie-cutter homes that are built down to a price rather than up to a standard. I realize each contract is probably awarded to the lowest bid, and contractors want to be in and out of each home as quickly as possible, with minimum time, minimum cost and maximum profit. It appears that construction speed and volume are prioritized over quality. Other mass produced products such as consumer goods, cars, electronics and appliances focus on quality and customer satisfaction. These homes are priced at the premium end of the market where quality and attention to detail should be expected, but both are missing in the initial build. The Project Manager has been diligent in getting contractors back to correct and re-work areas of concern, but this is time consuming and frustrating. I would recommend KHov for their people and floor plan designs. But pay close attention to build quality as the home is being constructed and hopefully you can address issues before moving in. ...

Walk-through with building staff was excellent. Sales team needs to be better. They wanted everything to be for their convenience, not mine. They misspelled my name and members were on travel so there were delays. I felt rushed.

The buying experience was very poor as our Salesperson was not knowledgeable or proactive She was just interested in the "SALE". The build was fine, but the quality check and home intro process was not handled very well A number of smaller issues which should have been identified by KHOV. Also the intro walkthrough was not as informative as expected It was rushed and mishandled

Nothing is perfect. So goes the home buying experience. Could it have been better? YES In the long run, all said and done, we are getting settled in and are happy with our purchase. They do follow up on any problems quickly and efficiently. Is the grass greener on the other side of the street? It never is.

Mortgage material required was not easy. They wanted everything yesterday but took a very long time to review. Once they reviewed the information they required an immediate response was needed. The house is fine but the trim work is not what it should be. They painted over dry wall dust on baseboards and doors.
