Lennar Reviews in Denver, CO

Not what we expected at all.

Lenar homes are awsome..it is easy to work with them including sales,loans and other stuff. I like to recommend them please make complete the backyard,fence and all other necessary in home like blinds...and include that amount in loan...

Quite the experience, but overall good

This is the 2nd or 3rd review Lennar has sent me which is really sums up the Lennar home buying experience for me. Lots of emails, lots of confusion, no real introduction as to what is going to happen when.

Lennar delivered on time and communication was exceptional. The people working for Lennar are great and were very responsive to feedback and requests. The selections of materials are limited which I understand is why they stay on budget and on time but they are not wearing well showing use after less than 6 months. The quality of the cabinets, carpet and hardwood is low. There is little insulation in the house and the house lives very noisy with significant noise transfer from room to room and floor to floor. We love our view and the layout of the house is great but we would hesitate to buy a Lennar home again. We feel we will be replacing finishes and having to make updates to flooring etc sooner than one would think with a brand new home. Their price point works well and the Everything's Included model may work well for other but perhaps not the best for all buyers. ... More

Some of the people that we work with were amazing and sweet but there were others that weren’t too friendly. When we contact them they would seem annoyed. The home we brought was suppose to be “move in ready” by a certain date. Once we closed on the home they clearly did not finish everything in the home, it seemed quickly put together. A lot of mishaps with the home, I’m glad they have a one year warranty on the home but to find numerous things wrong with the home that weren’t fixed during the blue tape walk through was disappointing. It seemed that the workers were fixing things in the home the day of closing and they were done with the lowest quality of care to be frank. They also messed up our mailbox situation and we weren’t receiving our mail for weeks which incurred late fees on certain bills. The customer care service person stated they notice that we had two mailbox addressed to our address but didn’t care to say or fix it until I came to them with the issue. If anyone was to ask if they should purchase a Lennar home I would 100% not recommend, unless they have a lot of free time on there hands to deal with situation after situation as they’re careless and are just trying to mass produce these homes to get it sold. ...

It takes one bad apple… Overall, I think Lennar is a good builder. Craftmanship/workmanship and material are least to be desired. Sales is good. Finance portion, amazing. Closing process, amazing. Warranty, so far so good (but not perfect). The foreman, I never met in person, let me just say I am glad I did not - one phone conversation is all the disrespect that I can take as home buyer.

I loved that Lennar was doing rate buy downs, it allowed us to move into our home. However, I didn't love the fact that we couldn't choose certain things about our house and that certain things weren't included and we had to do after purchasing the home. I don't particularly love our downstairs layout, I don't feel like there is enough pantry space, kitchen space, and some of the cabinets are shaped awkwardly. It also looks like the inside of the kitchen cabinets aren't really sturdy. IF you put something in the wrong way, the divider will fall. Not ideal. I feel like we could've been more involved during the building process. We only received like 3 calls throughout. Quality is honestly okay, things could've been done much better and better attention to detail was definitely needed. We had a gas leak the first day we were in there - huge problem as I was alone with my infant son. It was resolved that same day, but it shouldn't have happened if things were checked better before closing. One of the pipes on the furnace wasn't tight enough. Please pay better attention to the details and make sure you turn over a home that looks good and is good to live in. ... More

Few items that were not working when I moved: 1) Water heater: I lived without hot water for 10 days. Water heater has been replaced. 2) Air conditioning: One of the A/C was not working. Tech came in and replaced the parts and good now. 3) Cracked basement: Even though new construction, basement has a 7 feet cracked before I moved. 4) Water leaking: When they started sprinkle, water leaked from pipe and still leaking. means Lennar used very cheap material. 5) Siding wood already started peeling and curved. 6) Already started peeling the paint several areas. 7) 3 areas windows glass are going to replace b/c of poor quality and not meet basic requirements. My final conclusion: Used cheaper material, so don't recommend buying Lennar house to my family and friends. ... More

A lot of issues still left to be resolved but overall an ok experience

Shoddy workmanship, they shouldn't use the phrase "Everything's included" anymore - it isn't. No cabinet pulls anywhere in the home. Blinds in privacy rooms only (we had both in our previous homes - blinds throughout, cabinet pulls, nicer appliances, a clean ready to move in home, engineered wood floors, and quartz countertops in the bathrooms - not laminate). House was NOT ready for move in, construction dust everywhere, paint drips all over the floor and carpeted rooms (aren't you supposed to paint before you put the carpet in?), the decorative brick outside the house was falling off in places, outside trim not finished on one of the windows and not painted in several places, hinge pins missing on some of the doors, grout work missing in bathroom, downspout not connected to gutter drain in the middle of winter, cabinet doors improperly installed, back porch slider door was improperly installed. PVC pipes in the basement are jerryrigged to drip into a drain in the middle of the floor. Wow - it looks like someone's DIY job. After 2 really great experiences with Lennar, this home was a disappointment. ... More

The sales person was great

I don't think I would buy a Lennar home again at this point. There are many things that they cut back on, that really cheapened the house. For instance, our engineered wood floors have had so many chips, and peeling issues that it feels like we have a standing appointment with the flooring company, and their fixes only last a little while. Our yard is a mess. It does not appear to drain correctly, so we have algae growing on our sidewalk. Chip, our project manager says he thinks everyone is watering too much. But that is not the case. Our grass is a swampland out front. We keep asking to have someone come out and check to see if the yard is graded correctly, but he says that is not the case. How does he really know? I have taken pictures of this if you want to see. We did not get to pick our interior items, but the carpet in the bedroom looks like it is already worn out after just 3 months. There is a "divot" in the middle that appears to be no padding under it. Chip thinks it just got worn down. We could go on, but why? when no one will contact us that is higher than Chip to have these issues looked at. Chip is amazing, but there is a limit to what he can do. But at least he tries. ... More

There have been a decent amount of issues that we have had since moving in, especially with appliances. There are things we have noted around the home that are done cheaply for the price and size of the home.

At the start of my process the people were so nice and helpful. When I started the process they told me about what I needed, however once we started to get into it and after I was on vacation I was constantly bothered for information that was already provided. They keep asking for the something over and over and for info that I did have or could not retrieve untill a later date. Even after I told them I would not be able to get so.ething they asked for till a certain date they made a due date that was unreasonable and before when I already told them they would have to wait for it. This was unreasonable and not at all how you should do business. ... More

Th construction quality has not been very good. The material used is below standard. All the construction issues are being marked as within limit, which is not good. The quality of the product does not match the price paid.

Unfortunately I'm a furniture maker so workmanship and overall quality are very visible to me. Here's what I got for $800K: No handles on cabinetry, flat paint or primer used only, No soft close hinges or drawer guides, one hose bib and a front yard that was supposedly "carefully" designed and looks cheap as heck. Amazing that I'm looking for painters to redo the interior.

Lennar Mortgage was very easy to work with and that was the best part of the purchase. There were many issues I thought would have been done before closing such as soft close cabinets, paint, and other issues that should have been taken care of before closing.

I had a great experience working with the construction crew and supervisor. The process from construction to the house being done built was good with great responsiveness of issues regarding the home and other issues throughout the process. However my experience with the sales team and loan process was bad, the responsiveness was terrible, communication was bad and questions that I had were not answered till days later . As a customer buying half a million dollar home there should be a bit more communication. There should also be more professionalism with the sales team and them not expressing so much of their emotions if a client is having second doubts of buying a home, also the negotiation on the price of the home was terrible. I had to reach out to the sales region manager so I can negotiate the price of my home since the sales team weren’t budging on anything. I’m positive you guys have lost multiple customers due to price negotiations because the sales team won’t try to workout things out and those customers gave up but could’ve bought a home if they would have just called the region sales a manager. ...

Where to start? The house was not ready when we closed. Lennar builds houses and then is completely unprepared when someone attempts to move into it. Appliances were not in until the day after we moved in and then the stove didn't fit. Waited a week to have the cabinets moved so the stove could be installed. There was a dumpster in front of the house so only one pod could be delivered. Move in was delayed. Dirt everywhere. Driveway and stairs were not cleaned so the movers had to walk over moving pads and still tracked mud all over the brand new house which Lennar had to have cleaned later. Sprinkler system and landscaping could not be completed because the backflow pipe for the irrigation system was buried behind the stone work. Construction debris under the back porch still hasn't been removed. Loose railing, crooked pendant lights, paint overspray in many places. Several doors needed to be adjusted to close correctly. Opened at least 20 warranty tickets already. Most cosmetic repairs are shoddy and noticeable. Interior paint appears to be one thin coat of cheap paint throughout the house. Zero guidance on smart home connectivity. Ring doorbell installed incorrectly and box was not provided so we cannot pair doorbell to app. Complained about this a dozen timesand still not rectified. Stove vent had to he repaired. Furnace had a water leak that needed to be fixed. Various rods and brackets were missing throughout the house. Washing machine drain cap was painted shut. Every neighbor has similar stories and worse. ... More

As far as sales,Deb is amazing to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in Sterling Ranch. On the other hand i am extreamly disappointed with the poor construction management and the lack of finishing anything before moving onto the next home. We moved in almost 2 months ago and still our house is being pieced together while we watch others move in weeks/months after us and have a fully finished house and landscaping. This company is more worried about putting up more houses than actually finishing what they had started.

We were very disappointed in the build quality in several areas and difficulty in getting issues with wrong location of washing machine water and drain piping - took three attempts to get someone to put it in the right place after being told "we leave it to the plumber. Also problems with location of the attic access hole. Supposed to be located in the master closest and not the master bath,. Again took three tries go get it located in the right spot. Then issues with the repairs to wrong location drywall. Big disappointment with cleaning of the home prior to closing. Basement was covered in white dust that got tracked everywhere. The main floor flooring was covered with some type film. They were clearly in a rush to close before they were really ready, and we had to accept it as we'd already sold our house and had the move planned. My overall feeling was that the build team really didn't care about quality and left many things for us to add to warranty. ... More

Sales person was very good! Overall quality is average; it is an expensive track home Home was not cleaned very well at closing Warranty items are usually handled in a timely manner; warranty person is very good Our mortgage Loan through Lennar mortgage company was a difficult and a frustrating process

They are building the homes so fast that quality is not what it should be. Fortunately, they correct the issues in a reasonable length of time.

Constant having to call and make corrections that should of been caught during inspection. Builder doesnt seem to give a crap about craftsmanship for the price you pay for a house these days.
