Lennar Reviews in Naples, FL

We were and are excited about moving into the community of Ave Maria. Our purchase of the Ariaballa not so much! The quality and workmanship of this build has alot to be desired. Lennar was quick to take our money and when we notified them of the several issues it seems to have landed on deaf ears. From garage overhead doors that don't function, to missing trim, missing shower doors, several damaged and marked cabinets, and a long list of other items. Our suggestion would be to run as fast and far away from Lennar as possible!

Builder is not at all responsible. Very slow to address issues.

Bottom of the line appliances; no insulation; thin walls, cheap fixtures.

I am not happy with the home buying experience we have had with Lennar. There were many issues before closing on the house that needed to be addressed and although some were addressed it wasn’t done properly and at this time we are still having the same problems, our main concern is the Lennar contracts with companies that do not stand behind their work. The prime example is the pool, the pump was leaking prior to closing which was supposed to be fixed and to this day the pump is still leaking, the pool is leaking and we are footing the bill for high water consumption. The Ring doorbell was not installed properly and we get the run around from Lennar service who is asking us to contact the Ring Cie for a replacement when there is no issue with the doorbell but rather with the installation! It is very disappointing to spend over half a million dollars on a home of such poor craftsmanship. The house that was delivered to us is not the level of quality of the model home. ... More

recieved email to come to town for walk through before closing! was told the house was ready and we would close two days later!!! walked into home and it was a disaster, not cleaned punch list was terrible. it took 6 walk throughs to get to a reasonable close!!!!!! 5 weeks later! still waiting on items to be done that were promised by management!!! we were also going to buy another house that was my wifes dream home in the same community! but the experience with your company and lack of workmanship might derail the purchase! this is our second home with lennar and I was a contractor in indiana with lennar but your company always blames the subs and takes no responsibilty for your COMPANY!!!!! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND LENNAR AS A SUITABLE HOME BUILDER!!!!!!! ... More

Our overall experience was very disappointing. The contractors did very sloppy work. From the paint droppings all over the floor, to uneven handles on every kitchen cabinet, every outlet and switch cover crooked, broken pavers around pool. Uneven lawn with dead sod, irrigation system not approved by HOA. Uneven seam on granite counter top and the cheapest home appliances they could find. Lennar warranty service has only addressed 25% of our complaints and others work orders have been ignored.

We have had several issues like no mirrors or shower enclosures installed until nearly 2 months after settlement, finally got them last week day before Christmas. Still have electrical issues with outside outlets as they click 24/7 unusable, and light switches within the home that are incorrectly wired. Since settlement, I have found out via outside Sales guys that Lennar, installs proprietary features like extermination inside wall device, and a smart home water device that allows monitoring via a smart app. Was never told about either of these options, had to find out from neighbors or sales folks trying to sell me additional services. My largest issue, we paid a higher price for this lot, as it was to be on water. The land has yet to be cleared, and on top of it we have an alligator nest directly behind our lot that now puts our pets at risk. We want this lot cleared as we were told by Lennar prior to document signing this was a water front lot on EVERY Lennar document. ... More

This was a very bad experience. I was rushed in when they did not finish everything and I am still waiting to get thing finished. I am 78 years old and this was a horrible experience.

Very bad experience, when buying the house the construction Manager Bob when to do a walkthrough in my house we did a list of what we need to by finish and repair, one moth later he says is not going to do the list that I have to do everything thru guarantee, I’m been living in my house for over a moth and my driveway is missing paver is not done yet the sidewalk is broken cracks all over, my shower enclosure is not installed, all the appliances are broken I have to call Frigidaire to apply guarantee because lennar don’t want to replace my appliances, I can’t use my dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator, gutters leaking, house haven’t been paint yet missing paint in doors, wall, baseboards and ceiling. Also my land is washing away to the lake I’m still waiting to fix problem is been a nightmare ... More

My experience with the builder was not good especially since they want to close before the home is complete and for someone that is a buyer from out of state is hard to check all the details of the final construction and in my home, there are lots of issue like paint, hold in the upstair stair broken or defected doors and for the high price that the home has the material, users is very low quality and the same that is listed on the home model .

While the community is attractive, the builder takes 1000% of the enjoyment of owning a new home away from the buyer. From omitted items which are in the contract, to shoddy construction, to deceptively low HOA fees, Lennar is the champion of bait and switch.

The sales agent, Jamie, was very good. We had a good experience with her. Unfortunately, the construction manager, Chad, was not. He stopped communicating with us after closing. Very little of what we asked to be corrected actually got corrected. When defects were pointed out prior to closing, it was suggested that we submit warranty claims after closing. The construction manager's explanation was that the contractors who do the warranty work were better than the construction contractors Lennar uses to build homes. That is likely true - it would be very difficult for them to be worse! What they viewed as acceptable work was shocking to me. I won't go into detail here, but suffice it to say that in my opinion the overall quality of the construction was poor. Two pieces of advice if you are considering purchasing a Lennar home: (1) Absolutely get a home inspector; (2) Do not agree close until all items you have asked to be addressed have been corrected. ...

Nothing about working with Lennar was easy or transparent. David with Lennar mortgage was the worst,

This our 3rd time buying a home, 2nd time buying a new build. We had to extend the closing date three times because the home wasnt finished. We did a walk-through before closing and gave a list to the builder of all the things that needed fixing. Some were cosmetic, but some were big deals such as the sofit was missing by the front door, the outside of the house needed to be painted (still gray with stucco), and the some doors didnt have hinges or locks. Nothing was fixed before closing and we were told someone would come during our first week. No one came for almost a month and only took care of the cosmetic things (re-caulking, etc). They then said since i already closed, everything else needed to be requested under the warranty because they need to prioritize finishing the other units. Where was that work ethic when it came to finishing my home? Ive since submitted the request via warranty and theyre getting fixed slowly but surely. ... More

Brand new house with a lot of issues.Severals. Wasting time doing claims to be cover by warranty. Staff don’t perform the right job on the site. Totally disappointed.

shoddy workmen ship, rushing to get things done, workers did not seem not to have any pride in their work.

Horrible, unorganized, RUDE, sloppy, poor craftmenshio

So many issues to fix. They forced me to close on the unit even though it wasn’t ready! Lennar kept my money since November!! The closing took place in February! I still have open tickets that haven’t been resolved. Not happy. Plus I was promised pools, restaurant, gym. Nothing had been built !! No Pool for us to use and it’s summer already. Terrible. Of course we are pushing full Maintenance:

Items in the home were removed without my knowledge, and when I questioned it after purchasing, I was told that they were removed. No one follows up after money is transferred .

I closed on a townhouse on Dec. 30 and there were many problems (interior bifold doors missing, missing bath vanity, missing trim pieces, ants and spiders everywhere, etc) Plus, the overall job was extremely sloppy and unacceptable. I have spent the last two months trying to get the multitude of issues corrected so I can rent out the house. To date I have lost 2 months of rent. I had a guy come over to fix the weather strip on my front door and the door fell off because the two screws he used in each hinge (instead of 5 screws) were only half an inch long. I had a guy come over to fix a large gap in the front porch paver stones - he did a horrendous job and there is still a gap. I had a guy come over to look at the main floor bathroom pedestal sink which has a brown streak that is under the ceramic coat and he agreed that it its under the glaze and can't be removed....yesterday I got a call from another guy who said the first guy is new so he wants to try to get the brown streak out. Unbelievable.....How many guys need to look at it before they realize it's not removable - its part of the sink. The toilet installers used grout around the base of the toilets instead of caulking them, there's paint dripped all over the carpet because the painters don't use drop cloths, paint on the light fixtures in the bathrooms, paint on the switch plates, etc, etc. We've bought and sold many houses and have never seen such shoddy work. Im really disappointed that Lennar is continuing to put up townhouses all around my unit at a rapid rate yet can't find people to take care of their customers who have already paid for their home. P.S. There are bifold doors in boxes at my house for several weeks now and no one has come to paint them so they can be installed. ... More

Lazy and did the bare minimum when it came to supervision of subcontractors. It definitely shows in the final product. Quality and schedule both suffered. The quality is a C- at best and the schedule was non existent. Lennars best quality is the community that’s all, as far as a builder the peopl from start to finish do no justice for the brand. I would not recommend

Closing delayed three times because house was not ready for occupancy. Punch list items promised were not completed. Still do not have water hook up to refrigerator two months after closing. Poor workmanship and no follow through on quality of work by construction superintendent. Disconnect in communication between sales team and construction team. Given our experience, would not buy another Lennar home.

Not only was my house incomplete, but the work that was done was very poor quality. I was told workers would be back to complete the construction and never showed. My roof leaked and ruined a bedroom the second night I was here. I’m still trying to get repairs a month later. Absolutely horrible experience so far!!!!!

From the beginning to well after closing (1 1/2 months now,we received no occupancy permit,but forced to close!) It's been crazy busy with contractors in and out fixing all of the obvious problems that were not addressed, I would never recommend this to anyone, the horror stories are too many and such long stories, I hope this helps someone with their decision.

not my first rodeo, by far the worse experience in the history of purchasing. home was actually not completed when we moved in. CO provided, not sure why. Would NEVER recommend. just absolutely horrible. NOT going to include any of the names, first or last since noone has bothered resolving issues that i've experienced. ONLY person that has responded after finally having access to her is Suzanne Witty. She is the only assett here. everyone else, doing more to damage then good to LENNAR.
