Lennar Reviews in Bakersfield, CA

My experience with Lennar. Is very poor and disappointing. First I talk to the builder Lance about my sod water unit and I also talked to the Plummer that installed it before the plumbing went up. And told them I had a soft water unit they said it was going to be ok. And it was addressed and I had the system removed from my old home and brought down to the new house and they couldn’t install it because they never installed a bypass because the house has fire sprinkler, the workmen shop is very poor they have to keep coming out to repair issues, they installed carbon monoxide sensor. But they installed it wrong to far from the smoke detector and and 180 degrees, the carpet mail stripe they installed i the stairs we keep on hitting them down with a hammer when we get poked, the power outlets don’t have them in an some areas. Also if we use a few things it the kitchen the breaks pops. Because they are tided together in the same circuit. The house is bigger than my old house but there’s fewer places to store things in it. No medicine cabinets i any of the restrooms. Also another concern. You build i this house to save energy but you installed a A/C unit and condenser that run on 240 volts. The house has some nice things and I love the layout. But just the quality is very poor. I don’t recommend or see my self buying another Lennar built home again ... More

The quality of the home is bad, everything was made rushed. One issue comes up after another. The construction managers drive around the neighborhood texting and driving not even looking up on the road since there is still contruction going on. There are kids on the neighborhood and its dangerous to let them out.

Overall the process of buying went somewhat smoothly with the mtg company, but as far as getting documents and answers from other professionals involved, the answers were incorrect and the realtor misled us as to what the house included. It was later pointed out in the contract that Lennar can make changes at any time and they are not bound to the contact although you are. They forgot the keypad to our garage and later said it may be offered as a courtesy yet all the other houses being built before or after our with same floor plan had them installed. Landscaping is just whatever the Gardners had available and doesn't flow. ... More

I felt rushed to move in, so that Lennar can show a completed sale despite the home was rushed. The home also had materials and parts removed to finish other homes in the series and when the contractors replaced parts back the quality control was compromised with re installation. Should have informed my lawyer to get involved with write contingencies before I sign off the walk thru. Felt like things were purposely hidden. should have never signed off in good faith things would be addressed. felt duped and lied too. Now moved in close to two months in and don’t feel comfortable inside my home. cannot even enjoy since the cabinets have missing hardware missed drilled holes, compromised installation, no quality control and tile has stains that were never buffed out. Our Lennar customer service rep is ok but the manager or foreman is a complete lack there of and never double checked worked. ... More
