K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Sussex, DE

The experience buying a home from them was great we would do it again and definitely tell others to do the same.

The professionalism, integrity and demeanor of the sales associates, as well as the building coordinator went well above and beyond the call of duty . . . These are the exact kind of employee's any company would thrive with, having them on their team . Thank-you for all you've done for me, and continue to do for me regarding my purchase of a home at Retreat at Millstone . . . Well done men ! Best regards,

Would like to meet with your area supervisor regarding warranty issues. No contact as with your agent.

Pleased with quality of home, we are very happy with it. Pleased with sales person we worked with, she went above and beyond. Dissatisfied with communication from construction team throughout the build process. Nice people but poor communication.

The sales agent was very helpful and responsive. She sent pictures during the construction so we could see progress. The builder did a good job of keeping to his timeline and fixed all items that we identified in the walk thru. The KHov mortgage company was very helpful too.

We love the layout of our new home!

The team at Red Mill Pond are exceptional. The weekly updates and pictures of the build progress were a great added touch. The team responds to any questions or concerns in a timely manner. Always very kind and courteous and eager to help in anyway they can. It has been a very smooth and exciting process for us.

The entire process working with KHOV has been postitive.Elizabeth ,our sales rep has been most thorough from the start, working with my wife & I on selections,providing timely & reasonable dates for homeowner inspections,returning calls & texts as needed.The project manager for the site Casey, is also attentive with the building process & has a professional demeanor working with the homeowners.After our settlement,we have had some minor punch list items & the KHOV service center call in follow up with the local rep Cody to schedule the appropriate tradesman to address & correct is efficient .

The salesperson is amazing from start to finish she was always available to answer questions. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the sale and afterwards. The project managers took there time explaining everything. Love my new home.

Our Construction Mgr. @ Seabrook, De Was Very Condescending !! He Treated My Daughter With No Respect, Her Being My Representative. I Have Been In The Construction Trades For The Last 50 Yrs. I Didn't Appreciate The Disrespect He Showed Me, In Our Conversations. On The Positive Side Our Sales Rep. Caleh Was Awesome!! He Was Very Professional & Helpful Returned Calls Right Away.

Our home was delivered on time with just a few issues.All taken care of immediately the entire team was great.i look forward to Showing my home to family and friends

A lot of features of the home are very good. The sales person, design consultant and superintendent were very personable and helpful. The home and materials were good but some of the workmanship is poor.

If you don't upgrade you get the lowest quality builder grade materials. Only available internet /cable provider is Verizon while 2 other providers are available in the area. This is a dis-service to the buyers. Also, no one here understood that ordering a wall mount connection for cable required a cable TV. outlet next to the electric outlet. My wall mount is a useless waste of money paid for as an upgrade. I would not recommend K-HOV . These issues do not reflect on the construction manage or the selling representative rather they fall directly on the builder. My two contacts were understanding and as helpful as they could be. ...

Great company and people to work with, from the first day to the move in and after.

Great experience

The options such as flooring, tile, fixtures and granite is very outdated and limited selection. You need a new designer for the 21st century. Workmanship was very good and construction team was excellent.

Very good experience overall. The home was completed a month early, and we have had no serious issues with the construction or structure of the home, or appliances Any issues we discovered after moving in have been fixed or will be corrected under the warranty. We are very happy with the value vs cost of the home. Some of the materials could have been higher quality, but are acceptable.

We bought this home together... Judith C. and Douglas M. We would rate the overall experience as average AT BEST. Sales process was good. Picking finishes process was above average. Many communication issues occurred prior to ground breaking, which was very late, which ended up costing us much money and frustration. Once construction began, things went pretty smoothly, though we found the workmanship in many areas disappointing - grouting / caulking poorly done or not done at all, electrical and heating and air conditioning workmanship haphazard in some places, painting of trim and doors was very disappointing and inadequate as was some detail carpentry. As the house went up, and the opportunity to change electrical outlet placement and light fittings SHOULD have still been open, it wasn't. Several options we could have selected were not verbalized to us, so we are paying to have it done after the fact or just doing without (gas piping into laundry room, vaulted ceilings, window in guest bath...) Landscaping was a nightmare and still is unsatisfactory. The construction manager tried in some cases to be helpful, but said his hands were tied. In other cases he was non-committal to fixing obvious mistakes, that, in our opinion, should have been fixed before we even saw them. for example the railing on the stairs to the back porch was placed in the middle of our dining room window. on other occasions he was very willing to get things fixed, especially after we had a home inspection by a 3rd party. We are still dealing with a dripping A/C register in the loft, that should never have been a problem... On the exterior, there are several areas where the concrete work was done using 2 different shades and looks lousy. Based on this experience, we would not hire this builder again as they do not really walk their talk... sadly. Given a 2nd chance, we would remodel an existing home, before having a mass builder like this one do one up from scratch. ... More

Save your emails. Get your own home inspector. It never goes the way you expect it.

Jerry and Lou are Courteous , Friendly and Professional have addressed any issues in a prompt timely manner.

Fixed the front door right away.

Love the area and a very nice house for the value

Bought a spec home that was just perfect for our needs. From sales to maintenance, everybody was responsive and informative.

great value for the money.

In and of themselves, KHovnanian is an exceptional company to do business with when considering purchasing a newly constructed home. That said, some of the tradesmen outside of the company that are involved in the construction leave quite a bit to be desired. Shoddy work caused us to have to contact Home Services numerous times within the first 6 weeks of moving into our new home which was frustrating. That said, KHov was incredibly responsive and corrected the issues in a timely fashion. We do recommend them as a builder, just watch the outside tradesman like a hawk if possible.
