Lennar Reviews in Denver, CO

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

Don’t sit on completed homes.

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. ...

We bought a model and Lennar doesn't warranty past 30 past days and we see why. Little things continue to emerge such as leaking faucets and poor craftsmanship around the house. The Lennar warranty team won't even respond with recommended resolutions, they just ignore the inquiries. To their credit they were very responsive and friendly the first 30 days but won't even respond with recommended resolutions any more. Unfortunate that we've already had to go out of pocket for handy work on a house that's never been lived in 2-3 months after moving in.

Number of times took off from work to accommodate repaired makes it feel like a brand new fixer upper. Very disappointed I was not told that every time I refinanced my home, I have to pay $250 to have Sunstreet do subordination paperwork. Why is Sunstreet even on my title . Unhappy

While I do love my house, I've had several warranty issues come up that remain unresolved with no action plan. Lennar was great up until I closed on my home. Since then, it's been a struggle to get answers on when and how my issues will be fixed.

The buying experience went well. The issues we are having is post close follow up and quickly resolving our issues instead of making excuses of why not.

Overall we are very happy with our home and the community! The largest complaint we have is the workmanship. Attention to detail has been lost for sure. Landscaping and concrete work has been terrible and an ongoing headache. The money Lennar saved with low bid has cost us huge in time spent managing repairs, not to mention the work I have to go back and redo. Lennar, please start taking pride in your own product and ensure quality work is done ahead of time.

Lennar’s branding and sales (Sarah was great!) and the layout of my Davis home drew me in. Decent incentives before year’s end. I was impressed with the level of communication through the first months of build. Patrick, one of the construction managers, was super helpful. Once the timeline got closer things started a bit more chaotic. A major hail storm didn’t help. The last construction manager was very frustrating to work with - didn’t listen nor communicate well. Chris, head of construction, came thru in the end — listening well. This being my first new build, I was frustrated once getting into the home on the level of quality of certain things. Paint was a thin coat, cabinets were low level with poor finishing to name just a few. Attention to detail is something I had to stay on top of. Finishing touches for an almost $1m home were disappointing, frustrating. I’ve had to stay on top of the warranty process and push for things to be made right and not be afraid to speak up. First world problems, for sure, and it was an eye opening experience. Would I buy from Lennar again? I wouldn’t do a new build non-custom home again from any builder. There were diamonds in the rough tho and there’s a lot to be grateful for at the end of the day! ... More
