Lennar Reviews in Fresno, CA

It was a delayed build and the overall product is of poor quality.

I’m having bad experiences with Lennar. Take forever to fix the master shower room. And now, they excuses that the guys come to fix the shower room don’t have enough training. If he don’t, how come Lennar didn’t hiring someone have full training? Or all your employees have no license to build the home? I’m very upset when they told us they if willing to accept the money and they will not come to fix the shower room that broken!

I just purchased the house in April 2025, and we moved in on May 1st. However, I’ve already noticed several issues. The exterior paint is fading, and there are cracks all over the outside walls. The existing flooring is covered in linoleum, so I replaced it. I also repainted the interior walls because the original paint was dull. The bottom of the kitchen cabinets is falling apart. On a positive note, the lighting in the is good.

gave us a home that they did not even clean. at least when you buy a car they wash it for you but buy a lennar home and they dont; bother cleaning up dust and debris. literally had to take leaf blower to clean dirt out of garage. paint on door knobs, ghost doors, gaps in grout all over. missing flashing on roof, no gutters, cracke cement. paint spray on front porch cement. the list goes not...

I think the upper management gets it, but I don't think the trades are being overseen for the quality of their work enough.

The two areas i find poor is the height of the microwave. It is so high to be unusable. The master shower is beautiful but poor design. It has subway tile on floor which is slick. I almost fell. I love my home. Great floorplan.

Extremely bad experience. Would not recommend their preferred lender. If you have a lender, use your lender.

We haven't bought a home in 15 yrs and hope we never have to again. If we ever do it won't be with Lennar. I don't know even where to start so I'll stick to the facts. First off they sent us the contract with floor plan and we were so happy....until we saw the house in person and realized they SENT US THE WRONG FLOOR PLAN!!! I kid you not, the plan we signed for had a extra flex space down stairs which excited us so much. My wife sews for a living and it was going to be a great work space and sure enough it wasn't even there. Their response...."Oops" That was a alternate draft and never should have been sent to you. WOW... and the compensation for that was Zero of course... Now lets get to closing because this is good one. We understand delays happen all the time. We knew it was a possibility but we had a buyer for our old home and took the chance of selling it and timing being out of it 1 week after our new home was to be closed.. So of course it was not a huge surprise when they called us the week of closing and emailed us and said DUE TO DELAY IN PGE METER INSTALLATION there would be a possible up to 3 week delay. I met with the builder and he said its a PGE issue they can not control and out of our hands. Well what they didn't know is I have a work contact with PGE and so I called and asked about the delay. The project manager for my track was very surprised to hear that and relay NO REQUEST for a meter has even been made. Can't make this up. So I emailed my agent and that builder to relay what I learned and get clarification. I mean maybe PGE is wrong. maybe its their error. I wanted to give my home builder the opportunity to set the record straight. Insert Cricket sound here lol. No response at all. Their silence said everything. Flash forward to when they delayed it again at closing after that delay of the " Meter" cost me over 1k in hotel bills till the home was ready I brought that up with my agent. Her response was " Well I was out of town that week and get lots of emails" She said she never saw the email and even said she did not even recall why we were delayed. Now that made me feel important lol. Sure enough I get a call the following Monday from PGE after I sent that email the rep said " Your meter was just requested?" WOW just WOW. Such blatant dishonesty and lack of integrity made me wonder how they even can stay in business. So you might be asking yourself surely you let your agent know how you felt and the end of all this. Of course I did and while she was apologetic and said I could speak to her Manager of course I was not in the mood to relive any of this. The second I got my keys I tried to put it all behind me. Then sure enough I get this email to rate my experience lol. Well we all have to lay in the beds we make. ... More

You solar contractor does not respond to repeat calls and it says a lot about your business that you work with these contractors

My experience with Lennar has been frustrating and disappointing. There has been a lack of transparency and poor communication throughout the home-buying process. Aubry, the lender, failed to clearly explain unexpected increases in the purchase price and closing costs, and I was not informed when my loan was placed in suspension, causing unnecessary delays and stress. On top of that, the landscaping is poorly done and far below expectations. To make matters worse, their warranty representative, Issac, has been unprofessional and unsafe — frequently on his phone while driving through construction areas, failing to stop at stop signs, and even coming close to hitting me. These behaviors raise serious concerns about safety, professionalism, and overall quality of service. ... More

This is my third lennar home. I have referred many friends and family to this builder and will never again and will never purchase from lennar again. The sales department doesn’t care about customers and just cares about numbers. I will say the team that actually addresses issues after your purchase with repairs to your home have been pleasant and responsive. Workmanship and features included have definitely scaled way down since our last lennar purchase in 2016. Home lots are so so so small and simple expected features (as simple as guest bedrooms not having brackets to mount a ceiling fan, or exhaust fans in water closets, etc.. I could go on) just disappointed in the company as a whole. ... More

Very hard to contact and meet in person. Barely answers phone calls. Very rigid on adding buyers realtor if the buyer already has home tour of model homes.Bad experience

Did not receive mail keys until 2 months after closing. Customer service was horrible. Lazy individuals were responsible for the customer service aspect of this process

My family experience was horrible. Your staff needs better realtors. Don't ask me this again.

We had flooring issues and although I appreciate Lennar taking care of the issue our baseboards and walls were destroyed in the process. We were told painters cannot be scheduled until January and the damage is beyond what paint can fix. We had to do a key release for a week while the work was being done which is fine but the workers used our spare restroom and soiled our bath mats past being able to be cleaned and left urine stains on our toilet. The home was turned back over to us filthy. Lennar then had cleaners come the following morning after we requested and they cleansed the bathroom however the floor was still filthy. We have before and after photos for proof. We were extremely disappointed at the lack of professionalism and oversight on these issues. Our baseboards are a mess, holes everywhere and they do not even line up. ... More

Disappointed. We have had Major issues and construction fixes. And appointments missed

first time lady called me about signing the papers, had very bad attitude. I would never recommend anybody to purchase from Lennar

I bought two homes from Lennar, experience was same, first I though it was oneoff or mistake, second home also same experience. Sales associate was excellent, load process was good. Title & escrow experience was worst, there was not even one email or phone call communication, both transaction was not closed on date it was mention, no communication, no one picks phone or return to voice mail or email. Title/Escro service not social, paid by customer. Warranty services also worst, quality of materials, cub boards are start tearing in fist month. Have plans to go another investments but decided not go and not recommending for any friends. Never imagined this kind of experience with Lennar, such big brand in the market. ... More

Warranty is very bad AC is bad not working 1 week no body take care is very bad experience

I would not recommend Lennar’s financing to prospective buyers. My experience with the loan process was frustrating, with numerous issues that could have been avoided. The required Letters of Explanation (LOEs) felt intrusive and unnecessary—other lenders I was working with didn’t require similar documentation. The only reason I ended up using Lennar was because I signed a disclosure agreeing not to use another lender within 30 days of closing. However, Lennar moved my closing date up by a month without providing an addendum, which added to the frustration. My dissatisfaction continued when I was threatened by Kelsey K., the Lennar Concierge Agent. She told me that if I didn’t use Lennar as my lender, they would cancel my purchase just days before closing. This seemed entirely unreasonable and put me in a position where I felt I had no choice but to go with Lennar. I reached out via email, cc’ing several individuals (Diane B., Cameron B., and Lori T.), but I received no follow-up or assistance other than from Kelsey and she barely answered any other questions other than sending me a copy of where I signed the disclosure. It was incredibly disappointing, especially considering the lack of customer service. Regarding the loan team, I had a relatively new agent, Cole A., and there was a lack of consistency. Someone was always on vacation, which made information transfer difficult and delayed the process. Similarly, I had two loan processors, John and Chevon, during the few weeks leading up to closing. John was excellent, proactive in communicating, and always made sure I had the information I needed. However, Chevon was responsive, preferring to only communicate by email, which made it harder to resolve issues quickly. Speaking directly on would have saved a few days of back-and-forth. On a positive note, the QA and construction teams were much easier to work with compared to the administrative side. Overall, the experience with Lennar financing was unsatisfactory, and I would advise potential buyers to be cautious and seek alternatives. ... More

I am very scared about the stability of my new home. Poor quality of wood and other materials 1. Foundation concrete is not strong due to lack of steel structure please visit Wilson houses for reference how they use steel structure in the Foundation 2. No structural supervision by manager. It is your luck how they build 3. No use of 5×3 or 6x4 wood for top of windows and all attached 2x3 Poor quality wood 4. I am very disappointed with quality 5. They need to improve quality and supervision of engineers 6. Need proper quality check for construction

Bad buying experience with Lennar

Compared to other home builders, Lennar falls short. Lennar's saying "Everything is Included" should be changed to "Nothing is Included." You want to customize Ethernet Cables in the house? NOPE. Rain Gutters? NOPE. In fact, all the stuff that IS included is the standard stuff you get for free, except it's probably the lowest quality materials/products available. The "quartz" type material used for the countertops is a nightmare to clean. If you spill anything on it, it will absorb it and stain as if it was permanent marker. Why Lennar used this material is beyond me. The cement in the garage is full of cracks and dents. We had huge gaps on the sides of the garage door. These gaps were large enough for small rodents to pass through. After we pointed it out to them, they patched it up, but not after leaving cement splashes all over the drywall. When you purchase a new car, you expect it to be cleaned and washed. This was not the case with Lennar. Our first day there, we had to mop the tile floors TWICE. The floor was full of dirt and dust. It was as if the builders had just finished the house and left. Upstairs, we found white drywall shavings all over the carpet. We even found several nails in the carpet! Imagine if our kids stepped on it!! All over the tile floors, there were white paint drips everywhere. All of this was addressed during our walkthrough. The Lennar rep said that our house will not be this dirty and they will have a clean up crew clean the house prior to move in. NOPE! Did not happen. Two rooms are hotter in temperature compared to the rest of the house. Lennar rep said that this is normal. They also said the 4 inch gap in the garage door was normal too. For airflow, they said. The solar panels and battery is included whether you want it or not. Again, they went with a lowest bidder company with horrible customer service and reviews. Trying to activate the panels and battery is a nightmare. 15 panels and 1 Tesla Battery for $40,000. Rip off! One of the Vents in the bathroom was producing a humming noise. It turned out it was installed incorrectly. One of the LED lights in the bathroom stopped working. I had to replace it. I am not confident that this house was built with quality in mind. I can only imagine how the piping, electrical work, stuff behind the drywall was done. ... More

There is a lack of customer service and care. Will not buy again myself or recommend to anyone else.

Purchased house expecting to have installed what was advertised on their website as part of "Everything included". I did not get USB outlets, exhaust fan in master WC, or smart thermostat. In addition, building plans show exhaust fans in laundry room and master WC, but were not installed. The fine print says lennar has the right to change everything. So regardless of what it shown on building plans or website, lennar has the right to not install it. Not what I expected from a company that I felt had a good reputation.
