K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews

In general, our experience has been awful. Settlement was delayed six times, and six weeks following settlement, items identified during orientation inspection have not been completed despite multiple promises to do so.

Worst first time homebuying experience for my family.

Starting from sales to closing, I had every very bad experience and quality is very bad.. I might choose wrong option and i don't recommend for any one.. I see very poor architecture, workmanship, quality.. There were many damages and feel very poor quality materials and clearly reflect negligence of the builder. Dish washer is not event connected with power cable and with in two weeks in two baths we are using,, three lights are not working..

After my experience I would not recommend this builder. My home was rushed in the end, the process was inflexible, associates were learning at my expense. If I could do it again I would not have made the purchase with this builder.

The builders offered free upgrades to my neighbours equipment that they had ordered and I was promised that it will be given to me as well. The builder told me to make sure to give him a good review as it is very important. After a few weeks during my meeting with the builder, I was advised that the builder has changed. I asked the builder if the upgrades would still be applied to my property as promised by the previous builders. My neighbors got the upgrade on their stuff. The builder told me I will not be getting any upgrades, and that is why he is the builder now not the other guy. However, the important part is when I saw the house for the first time I raised a couple of my concerns. The walls were damaged, the doors were not straight, sockets and swtiches were not screwed on tight. I told the builder there are a lot of things that still needs to be fixed. He said no worries, I will give you a blue tape and anything you see just put blue tape and we will fix it. When I checked up on it next time, I saw that there were still a lot of things that were not corrected and I brought it to the builders attention. He said to put a blue tape again, while I was putting blue tape. The builder told me that nothing is perfect so we will try. I told him the doors are not straight, the ceiling of the wall is damaged. He did not provide any explanation but just stated that nothing is perfect and review is important. Everytime I met the builder, he was only concerned about the review instead of looking after my concerns. After closing when I came back I noticed nothing was fixed. Even some parts of the blue tape was there, scratched on the appliances, uneven doors, damaged walls, under window damaged, uneven floor. I don’t blame the contrcution crew but how can a builder approve the work that's damaged and uneven. The fridge was installed incorrectly, there is water leaking hopefully someone will fix it. While working on papers they messed up many times and they told me it was a simple mistake we will resend it. I am very disappointed with the builder, I wanted to refer my friends to buy from the same company but after this I won't be referring them. ... More

I would not recommend K.Hov. They make promises that aren't delivered and the quality of workmanship is lacking. We waited 16 months for a cookie cutter home that should have taken 4 months. The quality of work was beyond disappointing. Even after closing, there are many punch list items that have not been delivered.

They rush you to settlement with open promises and never complete a task. They never show up for follow up appointments. There is no excuse for poor customer service. Totally under staffed but they keep starting new houses but never finish the others.

I've had a better time at a used car lot... Total took advantage of the market, they know we basically had no other option. Warranty department has been great, However none of these issues should have gotten that far

Do not use their finance company. Quality of workmanship is terrible. Every door frame is in new home is damaged or chipped. Paint job for the whole house is the cheapest and worst out of the 4 houses we have owned. Multiple spots on the walls that were damaged were just painted over. To many issues to even list. The only reason they get one star is because of the kitchen. Best part of our new home. Over all I would recommend to look somewhere else if your looking for a new home.

On 9/28/2021 I closed a house in Alvin, TX. During the process, there were a lot of problems with the builder. I have emails where I started to point out details, he told me that I "didn't understand" and that "this is construction." I actually work in the industry, so I do understand. I stopped visiting during the construction of the house because I just got frustrated every time I went due to how dirty, and poorly coordinated it was being built. Before closing, they were supposed to fix the vinyl flooring but the vinyl subcontractor didn't even go, but he told me they did. I have pictures of how all the vinyl flooring is coming out due to poor glue applications, poor coordination, and lack of supervision. They went to "fix it", but a few days later they started coming out again. I requested ALL the vinyl flooring to be replaced. A GC's job is literally to manage risk and supervise, but the builder of my house told me he "couldn't supervise flooring" which is the poorest excuse I've ever heard, you just have to follow the same route they do, look through the windows, put a camera, etc. He constantly told me "remind" him of his own meetings with me. A client should not be reminding a builder of scheduled meetings. I am very unsatisfied, frustrated, and disappointed with myself for choosing K HOV as my builder. It took them like 3 weeks to coordinate a simple flooring issue. When they did fix the flooring they made a complete mess, couldn't even put back the barn doors correctly, screwed up the garage door, and I could keep going. As of 11/5, I haven't been able to move in. I will not be recommending K HOV to anyone, and this is the first and last time I will be building with K. HOV. NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY, you're basically paying $300K+ for a poorly coordinated, cheap material house. ... More

Excuses, excuses, excuses; we admired how Mr. Hovnanian achieved the American dream. We trusted your word. Signed closing documents on October 4, even though work was incomplete trusting what the Hovnanian brand stands for. Today it’s Nov 2, you should see the pictures and read the excuses as to why my home isn’t ready for occupancy.

Very poor sales person and construction manager. They make changes that they want to and does not value the buyer at The Parks at Rosehill.

This was the worst experience I’ve ever encountered. As a homeowner and purchase five homes in the past I have need witnessed such unprecedented behavior from an organization. The communication between the sales person to the financial and builder management. This was a cash purchase and it was if I was being penalize for a cash purchase. For additional information I would love to share just how unprofessional this whole ordeal was.

I should never close on my house before they fixed all the problems that we had with the house. My house looks like s. They put dry grass on it and promised me they’ll replaced. I’d closed on my house and more than 30 days ago and I haven’t moved in they just fixed half way. I’ll get a painter my self to fixed probably. Disappointed is my status

I was treated like I was intruder when my house was getting built I was told to leave or he will call the police on me and my wife poor way to treat people and with my repairs not getting done because they saying there is nothing wrong .crack concrete stain and poor repairs on a back patio I pay 14000 dollars to have poor cuality not very happy I will let you know is a good house but the people working on a construction at garden glen are poor mind people that they only looking at production and not quality and customer service to satisfy your buyers or home owners. Hope some one can contact me to show proof of the workmanship because I have proof and the people at the job side not doing nothing about it. ... More

Overall terrible experience with the builder from start till the end. Poor quality, not worth at all the price of the house. Terrible quality of workmanship. K Hovnanian should be ashamed of their team and the way they deliver the house. We were missing, mirrors, vanities, wrong island color, cracks in the wall, missing bulbs, leak in the garage, 2 different color banisters, dents and chips of paint everywhere on our SETTLEMENT DAY. Absolutely, not acceptable from any builder!!! And the list goes on and on…

We had an extremely negative experience with KH including continual unexplained delays, poor quality of work (as even noted by the construction manager), poor communication or lack there of (including disingenuous representation of stating work was done (or would be) which was not), the inability to speak with a manager when initially requested, the delay of inspection and settlement due to not meeting work deadlines, and the disregard for the overall customer. We would not recommend KH to a future buyer. And still, after a more than a month in the property, with many outstanding issues, including serious ones, there has been no resolution to fix by KH. The only issue that has been fixed is a manufacturer's issue by GE (not KH). In conversations with neighbors, this seems to be the consistent experience. To paint our garage we had to hire a drywall repair person to fix the poor quality of work done by KH just to be able to paint. This development was not managed or constructed with the mission or commitment stated on your website. We would not recommend and in fact, would suggest other customers avoid KH. ... More

Awful workmanship. The walls and windows are crooked and uneven. The cabinets and doors have chipped paint and scuff marks. Leftover grout on anywhere grout was used. Uneven light fixtures. Carpet already threading apart. Hole in my wall barely covered with some bad dry wall job and paint…ready to become a hole again. The list goes on and on…definitely NOT worth the price I paid. Contractors were quick to respond regarding my issues and said it would get taken care of but never heard from them again. Nice staff but that doesn’t do much for my overpriced disaster I now call home.

Super nice upon first meeting. Was told we had 24 hours to decide on lot w/o a deposit. Called 20 mins after visit to set up earnest and was told the lot we chose was “sold”. Sales person Heather G was always “out”, stopped doing the weekly follow up calls as promised, hardly responded to texts. Lied about various parts of building process instead of just saying she didn’t know the answer. We had 4 general contractors during the entire process. Eric T was amazing!. Did all he said he would do and then some. He was responsive and caring! If it weren’t for him we would have walked away from the house completely! The quality of the home for the money paid is crap! The trades don’t pay attention to detail. The “upgrades” aren’t really upgrades and I’m constantly filing warranty claims, been in the house for a month. I will never buy a K Hovanian home again! ...

Buying a home is a big decision, take extra care on your decision when purchasing from Khovanian, What they think is completed vs my completed are vastly different. If I had to do it over, I would not pay for upgrades and I would use that money for contractors to come in and do it correctly. Their construction division and project management team is broken, they do not manage expectations with the customer. When you get your keys do not expect a clean home or detail work to be completed. I’ve lived in my new home for a month and they still need to paint my trim work, paint all the interior doors and get markings off the kitchen counters. I feel the painters were amateur and not professional. I have paint on all the mirrors and the amount of paint on my new floors is ridiculous. If I had to do it again…I don’t think I would!! ...

1 Start is too much. The sales process rushed us through decisions, lied, and then had absolutely no accountability after our decisions were made and they messed up. We made several trips to try to hold the teams hands and help the process go more smoothly. Once our contract was signed, we made sure to monitor the progress and were amazed at how incompetant the GC (John H.) was, and how the labor was unqualified to perform general duties. After being rushed through the closing process, we were asked to hide issues so employees "would not get into trouble" and told they would make sure we ended up with an acceptable product. We were also told that K. Hovnanian only looks to make a profit and really is not the builder to choose if you expect any quality. The focus is on speed and profit, at the buyers expense. Since closing we have encountered: A driveway that has 2 feet of consistant standing water Two roof leaks Damaged drywall due to leaks Not functioning A/C Shower doors and tile installed incorrectly leading to flooding and tile damage No grass planted in major areas of the house (Mud and erosion occuring) Several electrical components not functioning Poorly installed cabinetry (we fixed at our own expense) Doors that don't close Several plumbing leaks Appliance installed incorrectly and not leveled No working hot water ...

Terrible experience. Would not recommend.

Inspect homes thoroughly before move in. High chance home contains workmanship issues.

If you use KHov, make sure you buy a home that's already built / that you can see the workmanship. They "churned and burned" our home and didn't even completely finish it before moving on. Such a terrible experience with this builder, I would never use them again in a million years.
