K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews

Need to improved the complete end to end communication. sales to escrow. underwriter last minute finds and expecting to get resolved in 1 -2 days is not acceptable.

Better than a Ryan home, but still a builder-grade home!

I am very happy with the initial start of my home buying process. The sales team was great! My disappointment started when I moved in and started seeing that the walkthrough tags weren’t all fixed and then I started seeing more flaws. Unfortunately, there’s too many to list. The whole issue is the workers that are contracted out. It is so obvious that there is the lack of caring out what they do and definitely lacking pride in their craft. I am still waiting for my places to be fixed with my concrete. It’s been awhile now since I asked for mistakes to be fixed. There is a warranty and I will get to address things at my 1 year mark. I hope everything will be fine then. ... More

Overall experience purchasing was good. Problems get taken care of quickly I wasn’t told up front that I could not paint the interior for a year or that the HOA needed to know about all the flowers I want to plant

The KHOV Elevon salesperson was very misleading, played shady games over crediting back $1,500, I would not trust her and certainly would not refer anyone to her. The home is lovely for the most part. I was told the home was "close to being ready", knowing I was on a tight timeframe to move, they sat on the house with not a single nail for almost a month, I lost money on the house I was selling due to not one but 3 closing delays and then they did not even live up to the $1,500 credit back they offered (found that out too late). The interior is lovely (we bought the farmhouse style) but the front landscaping was sloppy, I wish that they would have actually completed the punch list before I moved in and they absolutely did not clean the lot, we have had the worst ant problems, coming in through our sockets, trim, etc. READ EVERYTHING. They do provide many beautiful upgrades like a free-standing tub, barn doors and little details that make the home just a little elevated. Some of the systems DO NOT work as described (i.e. "Fresh Air Intake"); the fence is sub-par, and I think they tried to squeeze one too many houses on each street as the houses are so close that many side yards never dry due to lack of sun. Unfortunately, you don't get the HOA rules until after you have provided earnest monies and then, the HOA rules not working for you is NOT a reason to break the contract. I did not like the Elevon Sales Team, I'm planning to sell in another year and move. I have to take ownership that I should have demanded certain information before giving them any monies. The Project Manager was great, but did I mention the Sales Team either withholds, misleads or just lies; sometimes over stupid things but they really lied about the plans for the development. That was not KHOV as a company, but the sales teams represent the company. I might have rated a little higher overall except for the fact that Heather the Salesperson really tainted the experience, and you just can't change that so every time I pulled into my garage, it just took from the joy of buying what was supposed to be my "dream home" (within an affordable price point) and the HOA management company.... just ridiculous nonsense. ...

Buying process was exhausting and if you are not computer savvy, it's a real turnoff. Once in the home, I started finding little things that they cut corners on, lights in closets, vanity drawers are too deep (unusable). Cabinets and microwave too high. Space could have been better used.

I have not heard from the follow up home inspector post buy. I have concerns but she has not called me back. Her name is Dean.

I need to speak with management. Many issues please contact me

Had hard time right from sale to moving to post occupancy. Evaluate other option before committing to Khov.

We had issues with the loan department and sending multiple documents. Seems that they were not communicating with each other. Sales representatives were always helpful. Electrical sockets in both bathrooms weren't tested prior to move in. So they didn't work. Walls needed repairs after the first month as you could see all the nicks, nails etc. The drywall is just painted over. Been here for 3 months and the refrigerator door handle came off. Maintenance requests submitted however, it takes a while for them to respond to them?

When you build a home in 4 months, don't expect quality craftsmanship. Lots of interior issues - drywall/paint defects. Landscape is a 3/10 at best. Sprinklers not sitting flush with the ceiling. Lack of customizing. Overall, I wouldn't pick a KHov build for our next home.

It is a great neighborhood. I wish they would have better customer service after you purchase the home. I moved in and noticed so many problems that I have not been receiving any help with. before purchasing the home I was very excited and loved the customer service but I guess that was just to get me to purchase the home. Now nothing but rude comments and no action.

Home is well built however there is no consistency in pricing everyone in neighborhood paying different prices, If you get a loan with them I would advise to get it on your own the terms were different every time we went in. With construction still going on there are many nails in the street and when ask if someone could clean up so people would not get their ties damaged it seems to fall on deaf ears every time I walk I pick up nails in the street Landscaping does a poor job taking care of the neighborhood many dead plants and when asked never address.

For the price of the house, we should have gotten morn out if it. They care more about building houses than having a play park for kids.

Design team is so outdated ! I feel the house model is from 1980s and no update in designs. Definetely overpriced for these outdated designs.

There is too muc turn over and issues are not resolved. There were short cuts made and many mistakes. The garage door has never been fixed. Orlando and so many other good people quit because they were overworked and underpaid. The buyers all suffer as a result.

Given dirty basement in a new house. Lot of mud in the basement. How can I write a good review?

Experience is not great. Not provided proper information during inspection and home walk-through. After closing, if I raise tickets, its taking lot of time to resolve the issues. Very poor to response time

I experienced poor customer service on repair issues

The poorest quality home I have ever bought. It was supposed to be new but the quality of the crafmanship leaves a lot to be desired, specially the painting job, sloppy and poor quality paint. The paint over frames is full of crumbs, that will require sanding and repainting . I was told that buy as it is after I had put my downpayment. The person responsable for responding to issues was excellent, The windows would not open and they came and fixed them almost all. Problems with a breaker they also fixed, overall very responsive.

Majority of the materials used interior (wood) is of not good quality. Few items were installed in a way that could cause danger to kids. Not at all happy with warranty team. Always give one or other reason for warranty tickets

Builder did not have drip pan under AC unit causing ceiling saturated with water

We purchased our brand new home in March of 2024 and although we pay our full HOA dues, we have lived with mounds of dirt and dying landscaped trees for the past 4 months! We realize this was considered “Phase I”, and there would still be construction however, the horrible lack of landscape around our home doesn’t warrant us paying FULL HOA fees for services that clearly don’t align. We were told things by the sales team that turned out to be false and ended up costing us over $2,000 above and beyond what we expected to pay! As for the home itself - we love it! There are some minor issues that will be addressed, but overall “A beautiful home” ... More

Everything was GREAT in the beginning, but when it was time to really get down to the paper work, signing things went off to another level. We decided to go with the builders lender, to get all the perks they were offering, however in the long run i wish i would have stayed with my realtors lender.. They amount of back and fourth on paperwork, due to getting lost or asking for additional things wasnt the issues it was the fact you had us sign closing papers and then retracted the sale because the builders lender didnt have their documentation organized or miscommunication with the lenders team. When buying a new home its stressful, i understand the amount of paperwork that is required that wasnt the issue at all.., but you should never have a new home owner sign closing docs, then call them 1 hr after signing thinking we are on our way to get the keys to our NEW HOME to say, sorry we had to retract the close because we forget, or we now need additional documentation.. My husband and i looked at each other and both broke down, how can this be?? So we went into immediate - backup plan at this point.. we were able to get all the documents need and FINALLY got the keys to our forever home.. Ihope no one else ever experiences what we did.. it was stressful, very upsetting.. I also must say, for the amount of $$ these homes are being sold for, there should be some type of landscape in backyards, or at least have the backyard level, and pick up nails and trash left from the builders workers, and maybe think of putting Gutters on the homes, insane this is not something they do on the new homes.. best of Luck to anyone else who purchase a home.. ...

We do like our new home but unfortunately there is zero response to issues. I would expect some issues but a timely response would go a long way. A brick fell off the house several weeks ago and it’s still sitting there. We moved in on March 1st and still do not have a graded yard or any communication as to why newer homes around us have been graded/seeded and ours is still dirt. Everyone has garage door hardware but not us. Some not exterior painting was completely missed and left untouched. That’s not a huge deal but it’s adding to our irritation. I would recommend NOT closing until everything is completely done! ... More
