Lennar Reviews in Denver, CO

Overall we're really happy with our new home. But there seems to be a huge rush to build as quickly as possible so there were problems initially that were difficult to resolve.

While the home is decent, it's important to remember you're not buying a custom home. You can ask for things, but the answer will always be no. The welcome meeting on purchase day was a horrible experience. We walked in on a red carpet, but it was just for show; it certainly wasn't followed through in words or actions. The beginning of the welcome meeting was the reps bombarding us with a list of don't do this and don't do that. There was no celebration or positive experience. The date of our closing was changed multiple times and wasn't always communicated to us, and the sales guy made promises that he had no authority to make. ... More

not many choices on finishes, appliances, just have to take packages that are offered

Grant in the sales staff is great, very easy to work with and very communicative. Our move in experience was less than stellar, we had a 3 page list of stuff that needed to be fixed/replaced/addressed before we moved in in one week. 1/3rd of that list wasn’t completed and we were told it wasn’t a big deal. Every time we have had an issue, however, Chad has been immensely helpful and quick to respond and fix the issue. The quality of work leaves a lot to be desired; cuts around the back deck are sloppy, there is cement on the window in the basement, the sliding door in the basement seems to not slide on the track without a large amount of force, we have carpet nails sticking up around the door jambs and on the staircase that I’ve had to find by, you guessed it, stepping on them; just things that generally shouldn’t come up with a brand new house. Our yard has been a challenge as well, we asked for no rock to be laid down so we didn’t have to go through the hassle of removing it but they insisted it was required so now we have 15 ton of rock that we eventually need to move. Overall, we are happy we bought the house but wish the Lennar builders and planners t ... More

Multiple times through the entire process we were disappointed that Lennar discontinued many practices, even from one house to another, seemingly at random. When preparing the contract to purchase, we stopped by the model home to speak to the representative and every single thing we liked about the model home we were told they no longer did in this neighborhood. It was very disappointing, but we had already made plans to purchase new construction due to high interest rates. There has also been quite a bit of cost cutting throughout the entire house. We have a 7ft “crawl space” with no access to it because they said they didn’t have to (this was specifically told to us when it was brought up multiple times, even though they put our HVAC down there that needs new filters often). Another thing is that all of our hinges throughout the entire home are spray painted white instead of matching the hardware on the rest of the doors and it looks very sloppy. Long story short, ever since closing, we have been finishing a house that we feel was incomplete at purchase. Of course we are giving them an opportunity to fix the issues, but we feel they should have done the right thing PRIOR to closing, considering Lennar’s vast resources. We just really expected a better experience from a builder like Lennar, but in my opinion, profits seem to mean more to them than a good, quality homes and doing what’s right. ... More

Though we like our new home and neighbors, we live in a major construction area with dozens of Lennar homes in various stages of construction. We knew at time of purchase that there would be 4-5 months of additional construction, but we had no idea that street in front of our home would serve as a staging area for various parts of the building process w. the accompanying dangerous construction traffic, diesel fumes, noise, placement of materials, equipment, landscaping gravel, etc. all right in front of our house with little concern about the effects on residents living there. Had we known the full extent of disruption and potential safety concerns, we would have not purchased here. Yes it is time limited but Lennar could do way more to shield current residents from the above. ... More

Owned a few Lennar homes over the years and I fell like the quality has gone down. Also the everything is included motto no longer exists. I had to put in a back yard and blinds on main level that I haven’t had to do on previous homes. Also wasn’t too happy with the games from the sales side. Thought it could have been handled better.

We discovered some damage a week after closing and brought it to Lennar's attention. The Lennar customer rep took the info plus our assurance that we did not cause the damage, and then got back to us that because we didn't discover the damage prior to closing it was on us. We tried to contact the supervisor but were ignored.

We love our home but but the lender experience was terrible. It is too much to write, but they weren’t prepared with our paperwork at closing and we had to reschedule the closing to another day after sitting at the closing table for 2 hours. It was ridiculous.

Issues at every step. Build was rushed at my expense. A few examples, drywall went up which prevented me from viewing electric work. Cabinets are uneven, stained, drawers still hard to open and close. Flooring damaged, carpet was stained and had to be cleaned upon closing. Carpet had numerous nails stick out in stairs which caused injury to my family. Windows are pending replacement due to chipping. Screen door was missing. Door paint was so fresh that each door stuck and needed sanding and painting upon move in. Garage door opener was installed 3 weeks after closing. Closing was 10 days earlier than expected when this time could have been used to ensure a proper handoff. Since closing, ive had to put in several warranty issues and some are still pending. I had a heating emergency as my heater would not start on a rather chilly night. Turns out my main gas was never turned on. Ive had a breaker replaced as the appliances didnt like gfi breakers, now i can use my stove, yey i can finally bake. Most recently, my home to garage door came off the hinges and nearly injured me if it wasnt for my agility. I had a chair holding it in place. I am disappointed in the care in which this build was handled and i know the project manager took shortcuts for personal incentives and frankly, would not recommend a Lennar build to my family or friends. I truly hope no one has to endure what my family and i have. This is my second new build and it made me appreciate my previous builder William Lyon homes. ... More

Not sure that the builder understood customer service. Pile of dirt in the garage on final walkthru. Said that he pressure washed the garage 5 weeks ago. Therefore, not his problem that there was a pile of dirt. Emily stepped in and had it cleaned. Thank you. Still waiting for my windows to be repaired (over 2 months) says that the subs are real busy. Otherwise, pretty responsive.

After signing contact office employee not as friendly as I think they should be. Builder very helpful. Employees working with closing all very professional and helpful.

I asked the Lennar construction manager if Lennar would put in frames/support for ceiling fans for the back deck. The response was " Normally we don't customize homes, but thats not a big deal. We can handle that. Three times during the construction, I reminded him. On the walkthrough I asked about the ceiling fan supports. His response was "Lennar doesn't do that. If he would have been honest. I could have had the supports put in myself while the soffit was still open.

Go with a builder who offers options.

Sales team was good. Warranty personnel is good. Not overly happy with the craftsmanship with this builder. Not sure if it’s the contractors they use or accept but they fall short in this area. The repair contractors are even worse then the install contractors. Pretty frustrating experience so far in that area.

A lot of avoidable warranty work items.

Overall, we seem to have a sturdy, structurally sound house, which is the most important. But I have been surprised and disappointed by all the little fit and finish issues that I just didn’t expect to have. I don’t see any pride in the workmanship, in making sure everything was in excellent condition before we moved in. I love my house and would probably do it over again, it’s just sad that the finishing touches were so rushed and overlooked.

Shimming and shaving of interior walls poorly done. Walls bowing and bulging in several places. Many times we’ve been told the fix is worse than what you have. Concrete work poorly done. We finally got the driveway replaced but we still have cracks on front steps and sidewalks.

Considering the amount of money paid, the customer service in regards to warranty work has been awful! I feel like I get better service at drive thru window. Timeliness and communication from our rep Ryan is some of the worst I've ever had. When I asked for contact info for the supervisor, the request was ignored and it wasn't until I reached out to the sales office that I got that information. After a week and a half I have not had the supervisor Chris follow up with me on our conversation on a request that he said he would make with one of the trades. It appears that culture of the customer service team is that they don't care to communicate and that customer requests are a bother to them. Quite honestly why would they care? We've already bought the house and moved in so they have no motivation to keep a happy customer. What are we going to do, move!? I will say that Emily in the sales office and Pete with the construction were outstanding!! All-in-all, I would have had second thoughts about spending this kind of money and going into this neighborhood had I known how frustrating and unreliable the customer service would have been!! ...

Poor quality craftsmanship on a lot of the interior features. The wood floor is a cheap quality and scratches or dents with no effort. Some of the cabinetry was poorly attached to begin with. We had a flood in our kitchen a month after moving in, because the dishwasher was improperly installed and now we need repairs to floor and cabinets. While we were well taken care of during the buying process by the sales team - we have been disenchanted with some of the response from Lennar's warranty and repair team. Thank God for a full year of warranty, because there's already a bunch of things that need to be repaired or replaced - none of which is by our error or cause. For a house that cost so much, it's mediocrity at best. ... More

Our experience was OK at most. Did not receive much of communication throughout the stages as we received on our last new build with another builder. A few things were promised, then changed in the end. The excuse was COVID. The lennar lender was horrible to work with. She said we were approved before signing the contract on the home and then did not receive any information until 3 months before closing letting us know that we were not approved and at the same day selling our current property. So we had to go with another lender in a hurry and received a higher interest rate because of it. After the home was completed. The quality of workmanship was not all that great as far as finish touches. Texture on drywall is patchy in many places that you can tell that the tradesman did it at the end and tried to hurry in order to close. There is also drywall mud and paint on areas of hardwood that we are still trying to get out. Not finished at 100 percent as we would have liked especially paying the price for it. Catherine was a big help. She was kind and understood the stress we had been going through. This superintendent was always there when we had questions and was a phone call away and still is pretty much until this day. Much appreciation to her. The rest of the process, for this being our second new build and we wanted to go with a bigger named company; I would give it a 4 out of 10. ... More

Closing was very unorganized. Dates changed. Lennar blames my lender, lender blames lennar. Never knew the truth.

hope builder pay more attention to the quality control - do it right at the first place, rather than fixing issues later

Disappointed in grade of materials including Quality Control & Quality Assurance during the construction phase.

The purchase process was as advertised. It's a house in a box, and they were going to build it whether we bought it or not. The staff was super helpful throughout the process and flexible with our schedules. The home itself is beautiful on the surface, but the quality and craftsmanship have us seriously doubting that we'd ever buy another. Simple things like sloppily painting over debris instead of clearing it first have been extremely disappointing. And it's not just spot issues, this stuff is in every room. It's not just cosmetic issues either. We have a vaulted ceiling and about 60 lf of functional railing that's just not sturdy. It wobbles with the slightest touch. We don't trust it and we have a small child in the home. Things like that are unacceptable in a new build of this price point. We've also been disappointed with the post construction cleanup on our roof, gutters and yard. Lennar posts a sign in every community about their cleanup policy "Every Trade, Every Day" or something like that. It couldn't be farther from the truth. There was always a massive mess of trash, beer bottles, nails, screws, scrap metal, etc. At closing we saw entire magazines of nails in our yard. To this day we have rusty nails, scrap metal, etc. littered throughout our yard and all over our roof and gutters. It's basic cleanup work that we shouldn't have to do to move into a safe home. ...
