Lennar Reviews in Punta Gorda, FL

The quality of workmanship is a serious concern. Also the warranty work is not good either. I should have purchased from a better builder.

Terrible experience. Forced to close before property was completed. Still have many issues with quality of workmanship. Unsure of security of property with supposed open membership to non-owners for amenities. Review already submitted with same horrendous experience to Lennar. No response received.

They said they would perform our requested.simple take before we moved in. So far hasn’t happened.

We encountered poor communication all the way around during the closing process. The closing coordinator scheduled a “walk-through”, and scheduled it for the wrong time/date. We arrived as told to, and there was no-one there. The follow up was absolutely horrid. The home was NOT ready to close. We encountered plumbing issues, walls were unfinished, blue tape was everywhere, broken tiles, master shower was not finished (no shower doors), the kitchen counter is still uneven, broken window screen, lanai door would not close/lock. I could go on and on with the issues. For a solid week after closing, we had construction workers still coming in and out of our home. Things are still outstanding. Terrible closing experience. Terrible communication. The only person who is trying to help us is Mariella! We have a number of things yet to be fixed! ... More

Lennar is is no way, shape, or form Customer Friendly. No choices or changes at all. "This is what you get and forget about making or requesting even the slightest change". No communication or updates forthcoming from the Lennar reps. Delay after Delay and no real concern or care on their part.

The overall experience is not what I expected. There were and still are many issues with our home. We closed 11/30 and still have not fully moved in due to outstanding issues such as air conditioner not running properly. Windows have issues and can’t close and can’t lock some of them. Lots of small issues that have been taken care of but just the overall time and effort it took to get the problems fixed was exhausting. Sprinklers have a leak which is causing us to use over 2000 gallons of water a day which is going to give us an extremely expensive water bill. Construction manager has done his best to get issues fixed but the trades response time and quality of work has been poor to average at best. ... More

Be prepared to accept an unfinished home. I closed 7 weeks ago and have white raw drywall mud all over my walls, a horribly stained pool, nothing covering the attic openings, broken exterior trim, unpainted sections of exterior walls, etc. All with no hope that it will ever get completed. This is my third new Lennar home in 6 years, and I am still stunned that I live in such an incomplete house.

Lennar rushed us to close at the end of the month but the house was not ready. I gave 1 star on craftmanship because we have so many issues. Tiles are not level, trim work is poor, lumps under carpet, upstairs floor uneven, just to name a few issues.

We are not first time home buyers and we did our due diligence to make sure we were pursuing the best possible purchase available to us, but Lennar made the experience so horrible that we will never purchase another property through them again. Our understanding is that the laws in Florida allow for unethical, shady business practices by builders, where the sales and mortgage teams essentially lie and overpromise to the buyer to quickly lock in the sale and then once the truth of the details are established there is no option to cancel the contract and get the escrow funds back. The manipulation and bait & switch tactics are strategic, calculated, and widespread throughout the company. Zero protection is offered to the buyers and in many cases the quality of work doesn't line up with the purchase price. From the time we signed the contract until today (50 days after closing) we have been dealing with constant issues, lack of communication or wrong information from various individuals, no accountability, increased costs that were not disclosed, and unresolved punch list items. It's incredible and shocking to us that Lennar continues to do business this way and they are allowed to get away with it seemingly unscathed. ... More

This house was not ready for occupancy. Still dealing several issues. Lennar construction is the sloppiest workmanship we’ve ever encountered. We expected more for the money.

The home buying with Lennar was terrible!! Delay after delay with construction and the sales person trying to put a positive spin on poor management practices. Run away from Lennar builders!!!!! Tom

My buying experience was horrible, from the moment I signed the contract and paid my down payment. My sales person did nothing to earn his fee. No one even met me at my home to hand me my keys. I was told they were in a drawer. When I arrived, the house was filthy; there was even a dishwasher in the great room. I have over 40 issues needing warranty work. The workmanship was deplorable. I am shocked that Lennar would let such a product carry its name. The mortgage company was also sub par. I couldn't get people to respond to me, and it took several attempts to get every issue resolved. The ONLY part of my buying experience that was of quality was the closing. My notary was excellent, and the closing was smooth (although, the title company had the incorrect closing date on several documents). Since my purchase, my warranty rep, Susan B., has been EXCELLENT. She is responsive, dependable, and takes pride in her work. ... More

If you purchase in Babcock National from Lennar, DO NOT expect to move in within the first 60 days of closing - your residence will not be inhabitable! The worst part of the experience is the attitude of the construction manager and failure to communicate on resolution. INSIST ON THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT TO BE AT YOUR WALKTHROUGH WITH AN IPAD TAKI G PHOTOGRAPHS OF ALL THE ISSUES. TEST EVERY APPLIANCE THOROUGHLY DURING YOUR CLOSING.

Communication is terrible! Condo was not completed on time. Multiple issues. Still waiting on kitchen cabinet hardware almost 2 months after close. Shower door is not what was shown to us in the model. It was installed one month after closing and it was a a cheap replacement. That issue is still on going. We were told we would receive a $2600 rebate for these issues and it still is not resolved i.e. check issued.

This was a terrible experience.

This is my third Lennar home and by far the worst experience I have had purchasing a new home. I closed six weeks ago and there are a few items that aren't even complete yet, and many repairs that need to be made, I flew into town for my walk through, and noone showed up until I flagged down one of the sales guys. Very disappointed.

I am trying to give Lennar a good rating but every time I think the warranty service is improving and ready to do their job I am let down. Contractors that are sent to fix a problem do not show up or do half the job. I am lied by the different suppliers all the time. I will give you one of many examples. Defective glass sliding doors. I put in a service request and several weeks later your provider partner calls and makes an appointment for July the thirteenth to replace the doors. The call again a few days later and ask me to take pictures of the defective glass. I spend over an hour taking pictures that were acceptable to the rep. The thirteenth comes and goes. Nobody showed up and nobody called. I give them the benefit of the doubt and after their apologies for the mix up, we reschedule the installation for today July 20th. I called early morning to reconfirm the instruction. I am told the technician is scheduled A photographer not a technician shows up to take pictures of the same door that I had already done and sent in. No technician, no doors,no installation. He tells me to call his Boss. I do but she now decides to communicate via text only. She tells me that it will take 8 to 10 weeks to get the doors from the manufacturer, yet until this morning I was led to believe that the doors would be installed. Of the several conversations I had with the supplier not once did they tell me that the doors would be installed in 8 or 10 weeks. Like this one incident, there are many more. If you care to find out more and how badly your company is doing, please feel free to call me. ... More

Poor workman ship Had to request VP sales to assist me to get things fixed

BEWARE OF WHAT YOU PURCHASE FROM LENNAR DURING THESE TIMES. QUALITY OF MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP AND SENIOR MANAGMENTS OVERSIGHT OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AT PRESENT IS NON EXISTENT! ONLY CONCERN BY MANAGMENT IS DRIVING SALES, NOT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!

Drywall work is some of the worst I’ve seen. I will have to do the repairs myself. The repairs Lennar had done are crap at best. As bad as the drywall is the painting and caulking is way worse. It took two months to get our mailbox keys. My wife called to get answers and was yelled at. This box isn’t big enough for all our complaints.

Lennar builds so cheap, finishing work absolutely horrible, rush to close to make there quarter. Not even the faucets are strait... on the other side, they have some good people that respond and work hard with their limited resources. Fantastic property, amenities and neighbors!

Ha just talk to your vp

Don't believe any closing dates or promises made that are not in writing. I understand the supply chain and labor issues but this sale, closing and quality of product received was the worst home buying experience that I've ever had and I've had more than a few.

The sales person, Joseph, was so uninformed, deceptive and unreliable, I will never buy another Lennar property

We closed in march and still don't have punch list completed. We are in process of having a GC provide a quote and seek legal counsel to proceed.
