Lennar Reviews in Dover, DE

The buying experience was fine. The actual home is very disappointing. We have been living in the community for two months and have had to submit seven different requests for repairs (on a new home)! The repair request process is not very efficient. You submit the request which include pictures of the issue, they send an email for you to schedule a virtual visit (which is a waste of time because you already sent photos of the issue). Our last issue was or is very serious . During a bad storm the house develops a leek. Water was dripping onto the bed my 92 year old parents were sleeping in through the ceiling light. In summary the community is nice, the house looks nice. The workmanship is bad! Very Disappointed! ... More

There were a few things that needed to be fixed and i had to wait almost a week for them to be address.

We looked at the property the first week in February 2024. There were some issues we were promised would be completed at the time we looked at the property, for instance, the shrubs out front were dead and we were told that there is a 1 year warranty on the shrubs and that they would be replaced in the spring. We have now been in the house 6 weeks and called the HOA and were informed that they were not listed on the inspection report and that it was our responsibility to replace them. Also the cable was never completed throughout the house, Verizon said the builder never completed the fiber optic in the house so they cannot put the router in the house, it has to remain in the garage. We informed the HOA of the promises, they have not returned our calls. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING! unless it is in writing. The HOA management company is terrible at not addressing peoples concerns or responding. Lennar needs to find a new HOA Management company. ... More

This is our 5th new home build. The care and attention to detail is by far far and away the worst in this home. If I were a trades person, I would be embarrassed to leave a job that looked like many of the "finished" work in this house. I think this could be a beautiful home if attention to detail and some care was used.

Very very very sloppy work.

The quality of materials are basic as to be expected in a builder grade home. I don’t have an issue with the materials used. I have an issue with the installation and construction of those materials. From top to bottom, every surface, every install could have been done better by just about any DIYer than the Construction crew for Lennar. I blame the construction managers on up the chain of command. In my experience, the construction managers only care about pushing your closing date through and the earlier the better, despite knowing issues prior to closing. My experience: I was lied to multiple times regarding several issues that could impact my health and safety. My new build had a major and apparent roof leak. I was told it was bone dry. My home had a gas leak which was discovered during a home inspection. Almost every wall is either crooked, wavy, not square, not straight and or not plumb. My fireplace lacks insulation, so much so that the area in front of the fireplace was 23 degrees INSIDE this morning ! The house temperature was 67 degrees. The gutters leak through the soffits, The roof shingles were cupped, so Lennar squirted silicone under them and hammered them down, but only after I was told the cupped shingles were an optical illusion. My countertop has a crack where it meets the backsplash. I can’t open my back door. My floor feels like rugged, rocky terrain with the slab so far out of spec for the LVP that sits over it that the planks are breaking, worse the extreme peaks and valleys make the floor un-safe for me to walk on. The list goes on and on and on. How was my experience with Lennar? One of the worst experiences in my time on this planet. How was the response from Lennar? Abysmal! In my experience a lot of lies and double talk to get you to close. Two months in and I’m still fighting to get things fixed that should have been rectified before closing. Listen to the bad reviews! They are true. If you still have the stomach for it, then buy Lennar. My experience? My new construction home is actually a FIXER UPPER and that the poor construction has already devalued my investment/ my home. This has created undue expense and undue STRESS! ... More
