K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews

We have several warranty issues that have been issues since the day we moved in and have still not been resolved Our first warranty person was amazing but I do not know where she went. Her name was Skai I know we have been out on vacation but we told our warranty guy we had my 30 year old son staying at the house and still nothing has been done. We have a dishwasher that leaks water all over the house every time we run it. our HVAC sucks. Our countertops are still not been refinished. Our top stair needs to be refinished. There is wood stain spilled all over. The laminate wood flooring threshold’s are popping up. So definitely not a good quality for $1 million house. We were not given the option to purchase blinds as many of our neighbors were even when I asked our sales representative Kyle about it. It’s idiotic that you would put a clear glass window in a bathroom so that all the neighbors can just see you naked. This is the third house we built and fourth house we’ve owned and the worst quality. The landscaping you put in absolutely sucks. If you look at the Taylor Morrison homes, their landscaping is far superior and their house price point is a lot less. ... More

They are building homes in hurry and so missing quality

Poor quality of fixtures, cabinets and workmanship. Toiilets and sinks in bath not centered. Cheap workmanship

Not satisfied with overall workmanship and quality of the house. 1 year warranty is a joke, usually they delay service request or does a simple bandaid . Again we have to put in requests for the same work.

There were so many issues in home

Overall the house is nice. Get into the details and its terrible they spoon feed you what you want to hear landscaping is trash. Many other problems if i didnt already put 10k towards the house i would have backed out due to lack of communication betwee khov employees and us yhe buyer

First home buying experience. We were very excited. Disappointed to find that our builder simply couldn't be bothered to hold the contractors to a high standard. His exact words when we pointed out the terrible tile work around our fireplace were, "our tile guys are B grade". We were told that we could have them re do it but it could be worse. We didn't have the option to delay closing. There were other things we didn't catch as well. Out of square door frames, cabinet doors not the same size with off color replacements. Interior paint job was terrible even after we stuck tape over the entire house during the walk through. Overall I feel like we over paid for what we got. ... More

The sales people were great. The house/yard is pieced together with the cheapest materials and products possible, and evidently the cheapest labor. Everything will be "military grade" and that's not a good thing. Just enough to pass inspection is a good way to describe it. Keep your expectations extremely low and you won't be disappointed with the quality.

The buying experience was not too difficult. The end product is not up to the standards we expected. The paint is not the best and cannot be wiped clean. The flooring is nothing like what seems to have been promised or maybe all buyers were misled. The flooring is totally substandard. Throughout the living room and kitchen is inferior vinyl flooring that shows every nick and indentation once furniture is placed upon it. I believe we were all led (or misled) to believe that for the price Khov was charging, the flooring would be of a harder, more durable laminate plank flooring. That’s what should have been installed! The carpets are acceptable for the moment but not best quality. The sod sheets used for the lawn look terrible. I could go on but I think you get the drift. ... More

KHovnanian Homes has great sales people and that part of the experience is great. They are helpful, responsive, responsible, etc. Unfortunately, a lot of the experience falls off from there. Most importantly, the quality of craftsmanship is subpar and they have trained their PM's and warranty reps to talk a slick game to get inexperienced homeowners to accept VERY POOR quality workmanship everywhere they can get away with it. If you end up buying from KHov, be prepared to see some of the worst finish workmanship you've ever seen and be doubly prepared for their warranty guys to tell you that everything is "within tolerance" including 1" visible seems in drywall, drywall tape showing through crappy level 2 finish, curved walls, glooped on caulking and any other construction material they can pile on to cover up poor workmanship, You will also end up with damaged cabinets that they mark up with pens/touch up kits to cover up the damage their subs cause on EVERY job, you will spend months on your hands and knees trying to remove all of the construction materials that are stuck to your tiles as they NEVER cover their shoes when coming into your house to do finish work after your tile, carpets, etc. are all in. At the end of the day, they are a production company that cares about profits and not people. Just remember that going in and maybe you won't get your expectations up. ... More

The purchasing experience was great. The lack of follow through by the builder is horrible. Several issues hat were addressed in the walkthrough still have not be taken care of. Typical of any builder over promise, under deliver!!

The surrounding construction is horrible. I’ve experienced flat tires. There’s so much dust that I couldn’t walk my dog, needed a car wash weekly, and the house exterior is dusty. There were working trucks everywhere. Workers left garbage on the lawn and in my own garbage. The floors are not leveled in the Interior of my house. We have issues with flies coming into the house thru the basement. There are no mailboxes. I’ve been picking up my mail at the post office for over 3 months. We are not happy with our experience at enclave.

The worst company and some company employees have no idea what they are doing and happening on site

Such potential for a beautiful neighborhood. Total lack of oversight and management shows. Each khov person does what they want, says what they want. There is no cohesion to this process. We quickly learned the salesperson wasn't invested in the process once the purchase agreement was done so the buyer has no advocate. Quality of workmanship depends on who your construction manager is and if there is a change during the build. Love the location and we love our home, just have to know once you accept it, there's no QC, no warranty team, no HOA involved. They are ghosts. Paint workmanship is just awful, unacceptable. ...

Many open items (some significant) at closing; HoSvc department has been and remains very slow to close same itesm, and now new service requests. Rear and side yards were not properly seeded and will likely not germinate in time for the temporary CO expiration in april 2023. Solution = sod??

My experience with the sales consultant was fantastic. Dennis was great, responsive and took on more than he probably should’ve when our Project managers went MIA. The areas we marked to be touched up were not in the house. The dry wall patch work was bad. There’s was dry grout all over our guest bathroom tile. There is mortar and boot prints in our sidewalk. The landscape job was patchy with dead shrubs installed and pine straw scattered all over our yard. Wouldn’t recommend a Khov home to anyone.

We purchased a home and process started fine but disappointed in craftsmanship and responsiveness. They took some shortcuts and it is evident in certain areas. As we submit the warranty items it takes a long time to get items addressed if they even do address them at all.

The accountants were great but I feel the workmanship was rushed. There is no reason why I should be repairing anything in a house that I have only lived in for a month.

Too many issues with tile, doors, cabinets, sink, carpet for the home value, unfortunately not a good experience. Construction supervisor have been great taking care of too many issues

Very untimely response to issues. Three months after close we are still dealing with craftsmanship issues that have been unresolved.

We had a really good experience on the sales side of things, and a good experience on the construction side. UNTIL we decided not to use the preferred lender (because they weren’t able to match other’s rates), then everything went south. Communication drop off and didn’t finish anything from the final week walkthrough until the move in date. After move in, took 3 weeks to just get our outlet covers in the kitchen fastened to the wall. Felt like construction just left a lot of their mess for warranty and it’s not warranty’s fault.

Quality ok. Many small issues are needed to correct. Master bathroom too small not good flows. Lacks of added amenities. Does not offer other add ons such as sprinklers, extended patio, guitters, back yard lawn etc.

VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD

First we bought the home as we were moving from different state to Ohio and did video walk through and of course the faults of the home were not shown or discussed! Second when I inquired about why there was no deck on the back of the house I was told “we don’t build decks you will have to subcontract that out” However when I arrived to the community I seen decks built on other homes and they’re all exactly the same and clearly built by KHOV and when I inquired why we were not offered that I was told, “ we don’t build them on Spec homes “ if we did it for you you could not move In until January. It does NOT take 5 months to build a deck.! The center island in kitchen shakes as well as Mitch floor due to structural design flaw with no I beam. Also our lawn is not a lawn by any standards and has many wholes and zero good soil and old fill/clay dirt. There are many more issues and I am deciding on course of action to take. ... More

Worst built home I’ve ever had and I’ve had 5 other new homes.
