When we did the final walk through we were told don't worry if you find some issues later we will still fix it as you cannot look at all the small details in the walk through in limited time. Now the service manager say it's not our issue you fix yourself

After buying house service should be improved, some of us are first time homebuyers and we need you guys to help us out not just simply say it's not our issue you should have checked earlier.

Poor quality work. Fit and finish was poor. We were given incorrect information during the construction and delivery process. Some items that were "fixed" are now damaged again.

excellent process, only thing bothering many homeowners is the HOA process and the fact they are charging so much and not keeping up with much around the area, for 300+ a month the trash shouldn't be littered everywhere, no amenities at all, uneven roads

Like any new home, there are a few things here and there that needed to be addressed. Having owned a ***** home before we are familiar with the 1 year warranty process so that helps. Be prepared to log issues and overall ***** addresses them in a timely and acceptible manner.

Overall my experience was complex. First the price for the home and what the appraisal price was 25K less than the amount they were asking for. This information was withheld from me for 1 month with no reason given me. However, my sales rep was a 10 out of 10. My K. Hovnanian mortgage rep was also a 10 out of 10. The build quality for the price point leaves alot to be desired. The electric box showed short cuts that can potentially rear it's ugly head if you are looking for separate breakers for each room. The kitchen setup is very user friendly if you like to cook. The one weird oddity ...

Poor workmanship and low quality work, repairs done with carelessness, patchwork won't match the paint. Even ***** items were not corrected. Bad experience.

Happy but losing patience!

We had a wonderful experience except for the fact that we have been waiting since April 9 (move in date) for a yard to be put in. Our driveway was done in early June and we were told the yard would be about a week later. It is now July 9 and still no yard, just dirt, rocks and construction debris. Brand new builds on the road behind us, with no one living there have had their yards installed already. I understand that they need to sell those homes but they already have our money for our house. This should have been completed much sooner.

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:

Due to the long escrow the home completion date keep getting pushed back.

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:
Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when a home completion date is delayed, especially after planning for an anticipated closing. While the construction delay was the result of the Southern California Edison energization timeline affecting multiple homes in the Silverwood community, we recognize the impact it had on your overall homebuying experience. Throughout the process, our team worked to provide updates as new information became available and to complete and close homes as quickly as possible once energization was complete.

My experience with ***** has been incredibly frustrating from start to finish. Throughout the process, I felt that ***** handled is*****s backwards, communication was unprofessional, and my concerns were often dismissed rather than addressed. There was dried mudding compound left on my kitchen countertop that was never cleaned up, and when I raised concerns about what appeared to be urine in one of my toilets, I felt my concerns were dismissed as simply a water backup, despite my family's construction experience. The most upsetting part of this experience was the day of my grandmother's ...
