K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews in Dallas, TX

So far, I've had no issues with the process of buying my K.Hov home. The builder and sales staff have been resourceful and prompt to any questions I might have. I don't have any issues thus far with craftsmanship and materials, but it's too early to tell. That said, I truly feel like I'm in a well-built house that will be everything I was looking for in the many years to come.

This is the fifth house I have built and second with KHov. The first time the builder was a little more accommodating on a few little things like landscape and tree choices and location of them. Here we had no choice and the plants are not great quality and we will be replacing half of them. I am also concerned that one tree might be dead but will wait until spring to see how it comes back after the winter. We also bought our own kitchen pendant lights and the first builder installed them. On this home they wouldn’t. Overall these are minor things but it does affect the overall experience. However, we are happy with our new home and the build quality. There are a few minor issues we are still working on but they will be resolved. ... More

Its not a custom home, so one should keep that in mind. They are very restrictive as to changes they allow to the basic plans. Keith, their onsite builder, was excellent. Extremely responsive to everything we brought up during the building process. I do think they charge way too much for upgrades and their design center options were at times limited (eg light fixtures) and always overpriced. Its cheaper at times to take their included option and then go get what you want and replace it after you close. I do like that they do not skimp on some of the of the major issues. For example there are not areas on the outside that are not bricked. And they seem to keep a close eye on their subs and make sure things get done correctly. ... More

Jeremy, Meredith and Nia were awesome and were always doing their best to find out the answers to our questions. They made us feel comfortable and talked us through the whole process as best as they could.

Overall a good experience and I would do it again. Liked all but one of the Khov team members.

Was disappointed with texture and paint quality. Very happy with rest of construction.

Value for the price is OK but the quality of the work does not seem to be very good. Other builders do a lot of standard things that are upgrade with a K HOV That brings the total price of The house compared to the other builders even starting with a lower base price.

After hearing some of the horror stories with the competing builders I am glad we chose this builder. There will alway be minor issues and Mark Curtis does a great job responding and getting issues resolved.

Buying experience was pleasant enough, but it's the quality of the materials and the workmanship that was a disappointment. It almost feels like the company purchased the lowest quality materials they could get in hopes that the buyer won't notice. From swapping out non Moen branded parts to appliances with small defects like scratches here and there to bathroom tiles scratches. So that brings you to wonder if it was the contractors installing that were not careful or did the products come already with defects? Buyers take your time when you do ALL YOUR WALKTHROUGHS.

The process of building the house was pretty good even though much of it had to be done from out of state. Nick in sales was very responsive and accommodating. The build was done 1 month early which was a major benefit for our family. The process of buying was smooth with Khov financing even though our 1st payment never went to Khov because they sold the loan the day after we signed. The warranty support has been prompt. The longer we are in it, though, the more we can tell that the quality of work in some places is sloppy. (Ex. tile work in the bathrooms, carpet laid over trash, missed painting over primer, the finishing work like caulking throughout the home, overall attention to detail, etc). You can also tell when you get a closer look, some of the materials used are not quality products (ex. the top tier carpet is still builder grade, some of the wood work is pressed boards, etc). Overall do we love the home? Yes! ... More

Its a great experience buying a new house and the first day we signed the contract was norhing short. The closing was smooth with most of the issues taken care of before and some after. There are still some issues and quirks that we are realizing and I am sure it would be taken care but wish the builders were thoughtful in the design and quality of construction. The construction area was always dirty and we are seeing aideeffects of yhe same 4 mobths after closing with windows stained and drawers not sliding. These are minor though but could have been taken care of. The builders mortgage company ensured that they took back every dime that was allocated for a closing costs, very sly and cunning trick. But then everybody is trying to get every dime out of the customers pocket. All in all. I am happy with this place we call home. ... More

Pros: High value for money, great layouts Cons: Cuts corners in quality in frw places, very inflexible in terms accomodating even simple change requests

Loved the ability to customize aspects of the home , unlike other builders. They stuck to the timeline for closing. Being a first time home buyer, it was a whole new world but the sales staff helped all the way through keeping us informed and answering our questions. Some work could have been more intentional & cleaner on the house itself but overall the experience was great

Could have provided more details for upgrade options , improve quality of build and handle additional care for work done by of suppliers

Initially didn't get the response I needed, but overall they did good!

I found many small issues after closing (outlet not working, rusting railing, imcomplete caulking, broken remote...etc). The builder has been very responsive to fixing issues. To that I'm very happy and apprecaite. The overall built quality can be better for the price paid though.

We enjoyed most of our experience with KHOV. There were some cons prior, in between, and after the build, but we’re glad they give that one year insurance.

We really do love the end result! We are thankful and excited about how beautiful it turned out, especially as this is our first home! We would like other newbies to know that they may miss out by just simply not knowing. We felt like we were not informed well enough on particulars about the house that we simply did not know were options. For instance, we were advised heavily on things like hose bib and outside outlet placement and decor upgrades however, we did not hear a thing about gutters and didn’t know to ask about it! The people we worked with were very kind, we just wish we would have known better or maybe had a bit more guidance. ... More

The sales person and loan people are amazing!

There was some contract issues from the time of the contract being singed to when it was being built. I felt like I had to be an overseer throughout the build process to make sure I was getting what we signed for vs what was being built.

There are issues with our kitchen drawers. They wouldn’t close properly, leaving an inch gap on one side. The builder is trying to justify this. They are not acting in the best interest of their customers. I don’t trust their explanation. Also, there is a heavy pushback on the warranty items. In our backyard, the area near the foundation line is wet and feels like a quagmire even several days after it stopped raining. They are refusing to address this issue indicating that there are no standing water conditions. There is hardly any carpet padding. Overall, the quality of the materials is mediocre. The builder has done a poor job of ensuring that the ground is leveled before putting the sod. The lawn is full of ups and downs. I wouldn’t recommend this builder. There are hardly any architectural elements in the house. You would expect some nice architectural elements on a $500K home. They have quality checks, but it is a joke! ... More

Overall it is a satisfying journey with kHOV.

My interaction with the sales consultant, builder, designer, associated KHov partnerships were all pleasant as everyone was nice and responsive. My only concern and reason for a 4 star is the material/craftsmanship of the home as I’m starting to notice more flaws, not great materials and bad craftsmanship.

We still have problem with water leaks on the ceiling and some crack. We reported more than a month. Nobody comes to fix yet

We love our house, but we are noticing a lot of little things, now that we are living here, that we missed on our walkthroughs. It seems to me a stricter check or verification of work after the house is finished should be in order. Nothing major, just little things you wouldn’t expect to find. Paint thinly applied on walls and cabinets, master bathroom toilet seat was up on both our walkthroughs, but when down reveals chips on the top of the lid, loose screws on kitchen cabinets, guest toilet running constantly, etc. etc. Overall, we are happy. Love the floor plan, and the house.
