Lennar Reviews in Sacramento, CA

We bought at Gala in Folsom and love the house and neighborhood. During our preliminary walk through, there were a lot of issues with attention to details. We were very vocal and met with the supervisor and insisted that the finishes needed to be comparable to the model home. That required changing out windows, repainting trim, cleaning up caulking, etc. We are keeping a list of repairs for the 90 day walk through, including another window that is inoperable and a faulty doorbell/security system. All that being said, we love the house plan and the neighborhood.

My experience with Lennar construction team couldn't have been worse

Still waiting for repairs 120 days moved in.

D. was great to work with, communicated very well and responsive. We closed over the Christmas/New Year holiday period. Due to the holidays and staff on vacation, closing was difficult. Avoid selling or purchasing a home during this time window. Our agent worked hard for us and need to pass on a thank you!

The taping job on my ceilings shows all the joints , especially in the bedrooms. I believe they skipped a coat of mud. They were behind at the time doing my Sheetrock , tape and skim. They had one more coat to put , I went to look the next day and it was textured. I’d rather leave it now the way it is than have them come mess my house up to fix it. Painting was horrible on the exterior. Shadows everywhere through the paint where the paint is not solid and you can see the grey stucco. I’ll be repairing this year because mostly we don’t like the color but also because the quality. Everything else we loved. All the Lennar people are great. ... More

The sales team, design center and construction mangers in addition to Chris that handles the warranty are excellent and appreciate any questions or feedback we have. The quality of the materials/workmanship from the drywall company was below par. So many mistakes and problems with them after I closed.

Good for active residents but need to address not so active resident who have dogs. Not even a small dog park or grass in the community center for dogs to play. In my estimation about 40% of the residents have dogs. Even Millenials now love dogs :)

We run out of hot water every time we shower.

Buying a new build was really scary even though we have gone the home buying process before. The representative in the office was very friendly and helpful. Communications was a little delayed but we had questions answered anyway. Loan officer definitely needs to work on their communication. It would take days to get answer and there were times when she didn’t even answer some simple questions which was a little frustrating. There were alot of models to look at and seemed well built. We would recommend to work with Lennar compared to other builders.

very good in general for the price paid

We LOVE our new house. Let me start with that. No regrets on buying it. There is a glaring downside though. Every week something else is wrong with the electrical mostly, or occasionally something else. Still would buy again, but they really need to get better at pre move in inspections, and hire competent electricians.

Very simple process. Answers and time line straight forward

We bought a Model from Lennar. Everything in the Model were purchased in the home buying. Only wished more time was given during the walk thru (2 hours) to discuss items in the Model requiring fix or touch-up. The only statement we were given was we bought the Model in an "AS IS CONDITION". We were sadden that Lennar sells a new home in an As Is Condition. Inasmuch, we were still excited to live in a Smart Home. Wished the builder would have provided additional Smart Devices instead of receiving just the minimum to get the home started.

Overall we were happy but I wouldn’t say everything was perfect.

Steve our sales person communicated well to make the purchase enjoyable. Moved in on time as promised . Homeowner orientation with dru and Danny and Amazon went well. We love the layout of our new home and the neighbors on the block. Excellent community layout and amenities. Had some minor issues with the house but Igor has taken care of them. His communication and follow up is outstanding. We are very pleased with our purchase decision and recommend these homes for over 55 active adults.

Great

Please make adjustments if the buyers want to make minor adjustments before the build.

I have had granite in 3 other homes and never had to seal it right after purchase. Home Depot gives a 15 year warranty on their granite purchases for kitchens and bathrooms. After I moved in I started to get stains on my granite in the kitchen and bathroom and that is when I found out I had to seal it. They have a full page disclosure in the thick purchase contract that covers them that they are not responsible for stains in granite. Very convenient. I put a sack of oranges on the granite and one leaked and now I have a huge stain on may brand new counter. I called a professional grout sealer company and they would not take the job as they said they can not guarantee on this type of poor granite. Lennar then sent someone out who said they can't do anything about it and said that was all they could do. After I pushed back. I understand they are sending someone out after the lock in place is over. My concern is why use such bad material in such an important location as kitchen and bathroom and why was I not warned upfront when I picked it out so I would have at least had a chance to pick something else out. So my brand new kitchen has a big old stain on my granite which to me only means they use substandard materials. ... More

Happy with our purchase. There were minor issues after we moved but they helped us resolve it.

Sloppy workmanship. While it is great that Lennar gives you a full year to file issues that you find with your new house and they would come and fix at no cost, I'd rather not have to do that. Especially on kitchen cabinets and outdoor paint job. These are issues that are easily spotted.

The response time for questions on the solar system was not responsive until 3 weeks after signing then they answered my phone call. Sunnova doesn't answer the question they give you an excuse and it isn't their fault. They point the finger at everyone else. It is going on 2 months since I signed and ownership was ours. We still don't know where in the process of getting our systems rook up and online line. There departments don't talk to each other. When you call you only talk to the new service department which isn't kept informed by the connections department as to what step in the process your paper is. ... More

Do not appreciate HOA slow response and government like attitude. Had I known about the level of control, I would not have purchased a home from Lennar.

I've only been in home for a month but it seems very well built and warranty requests are taken care of promptly

We have been very happy with our new home. The neighborhood is beautiful. The quality of the material is great. I like that most of the design features are chosen for you or are at least narrowed down to a few options that you know will look good. My wife and I get overwhelmed with a lot of decisions so that was useful for us. My one complaint is that it was highly encouraged to use their lendor, and our guy did not seem to know what he was doing. But overall, we love the house and neighborhood.

First, I never saw my sales rep and in my opinion it just felt like and we were treated like we were just another sale for him (his name is Michael). he wasn’t even there when it was the day to get the keys.. so we actually never saw him except for briefly when touring the homes. I don’t think that’s a great first time home buyers experience to not have established a good relationship with your sales rep and have them not be present for anything. We actually spoke more to the other sales rep (Daniel I think) and he was pleasant and helpful! As for customer service, Adrian has been great, very helpful, and responsive! Oscar was also great and very helpful. He made sure to listen and answer to all our concerns. I just wish I could have gotten a different sales rep. ... More
