Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

I'm EXTREMELY disappointed in the quality of materials and labor . I bought this Townhome because' Lennar' was the builder. Ryan Homes has comparable prices and locations but I chose this because Lennar had such a good name in the building industry. My other home here in FL was not a Lennar but my dad's home, built 2003, is Lennar and the quality of his home is excellent, I would NOT recommend Lennar to anyone these days. They do not build anything. They sub it all out and the contractors get paid for the job, not the quality of the work. -- Granite countertop seems are very obvious. -- Cheapest CERAMIC tile you can buy .. but when I asked b4 i bought, they weren't sure if it was porcelain or not. -- Shower rod fell during first shower. -- Kitchen corner cabinets have no top so grease and dirt fall to the base of it .. they should have put no bottom then, at least it would be able to be cleaned.. etc, etc. Just cheap materials used , lazy contractors, every corner cut to save a dollar ... ...

The closing experience they have it on point, but responsiveness to issues is a failure. Still waiting on stuff from the exemption list to be fixed. Every time they say they are coming they just waste my time because they don’t show up and the response is just ohh well.

Michael and Joe say they will fix a reported problem but never follow through. Upstairs floor boards are creaky and depressed feeling as though your going to follow through. When reporting problems pertaining to workmanship of home the buyer is told that it’s a cosmetic issue and that it’s not covered even though it’s the fault of the builders. When buying a new home you should feel good about it and not feel that there is a mountain of problems. I live across from a model home and people constantly ask me about our Lennar house and neighborhood. I am at the point where I’ll be telling them the truth. I’m not happy ... More

I feel the workmanship and some of the materials were shoddy and paint was not done properly. The excuse of having to paint in the dark was an embarrassing statement.

My sales person is the best experience we had with lennar Yatsira but the rest of process and workmanship and material really disappointed concrete finishes are horrible trim and caulking and paint are really bad the contractor only care about getting the job done with no quality so sad for all that money we paid

Repairs need to be done

The workmanship-Mediocre, horrible interior paint job, lack of any attention to details regarding the finishes. No gutters at all. Materials-The cheapest of the cheapest that they could get ahold of. The cheap double sink is a nightmare to look at and to use. The paint goes away just by touching it, the bathrooms have a porcelain set that costs 8.99 but the worst one is the floor that chips just by looking at it. The Carpet is no exception to their cheap carnival of low-quality materials. A tiny loud food compactor and a loud and cheap dishwasher.

The workmanship was lacking a lot. Flooring tiles uneven throughout. Dry wall was not even and to many of the screws were not covered. Garage floor was not troweled properly.

While the purchasing part was easy smooth and fun the moving in was the most stressful. I will explain why. I moved in with a lot of cosmetic issues. The paint was poorly done inside and out. Whoever touched up the paint did not use the same color and I have spots everywhere in the house. The guest bathtub had a giant Tiger claw scratch. The cabinet draw will not close. The dryer is dented as well as the microwave. The rugs had nails sticking up I cut myself numerous times. The painters left tape on lights and garage. A chunk of slab is broken off by the sliding doors. The weatherstrips are ripped on the garage door and front door. One of the blinds was put up Crooked. A piece of granite is chipped. I worked hard for the money to purchase this house I show not be going through all these issues. ... More

After a month, I am still cleaning Grout and painting on the tile.

Aaron has been amazing through the entire process of home buying & continues to be now that we are homeowners. He’s super responsive, knowledgeable, & Kind.

Sales experience good. But Warranty issues not resolved and promises not kept.

Building a house consists of many jobs combination. When one job is complete, the other previous job is demolished or severely damaged. As the result: no supervision or any kind responsibilities from the workers and management. For instance: installing a very expensive quartz countertop with no supportive brackets underneath! They tossed the heavy stone countertop straight onto the wooden cabinet without 3 or 4 supportive brackets at all! While we mention that to their representative, he insisted that it should be like that!!!! People have orientation day to their brand new house with leaking water unknown source!!! Can you imagine your brand new house with the hole in the sealing with running water?! ... More

The sales team is second to none. Responsive, customer oriented, etc. The construction and warranty team are not cut from the same cloth. Not my job, not covered, hustle to get us to sign off on shoddy work. The sales team went above and beyond to make things right.

The sales process went well. Good communication etc. on the other hand, Lennar support after closure is terrible. They do not promptly respond to issues nor take accountability of damages that you observe when you start living the house. I am still waiting for responses to several service requests. My impression is that they do not want to fix the issues.

Dealing with Lennar for the past couple months has been nothing short of pure misery a complete disappointment. You open a warranty request and they keep you ignoring you. Multiples times I'm been trying to hold the warranty service from my community and not luck.

I am def going to be writing a review. To news channel 8, Facebook , Instagram , Twitter. I am shocked at what my house looks like. There is not one piece of molding in any room that is clean and hole paint streak free. Not one. Two doors in house don’t close. Which they were told at walk through never fixed. Holes in both showers in tile. I am saddened that I spent this much money for a place that the inside is literally embarrassing. I have pics which I will be sending you. I will also be sending to social media as I can already tell I am not going to get this stuff fixed. The blue tape during walk through was ignored. Heck some blue tape is still there and was painted over. Very sad. Many people warned me about Lennar. But we ignored it. Totally full of regrets. Seen on the neighborhood Facebook they all say they had same. Something needs to be done. ... More

Unfortunately I have to say that I’m extremely disappointed with the quality of the construction in general of my Townhome. I was very excited to get a Lennar home due to reputation in the Texas market ( I moved from Texas ) thinking I was getting a well made home. During my walk through I was surprised of how many issues the house had , holes in the wall , unfinished paint every where, doors that needed to be sanded and painted, windows frames that needed to be finished, grout on the tile not cleaned, areas in the bathrooms where the tile need grout to seal the tile, a half wall in the master bathroom completely crooked, carpet completely loose in the second floor, I can go on and one with all the details that still need to be repair . During my final walk through I told the construction manager how disappointed I was that most of the issues that I asked to be fixed still were not fixed, the response that I got was “ well this is not one of the most expensive of Lennar homes line “ …,, waooo I was speechless with that statement. Now Im dealing with the Waranty , which is been a nightmare, and still dealing with the horrible customer service from a rude person that communicate through text messages only and acting like he’s doing us a favor. He’s not respectful of our time and wants to schedule things any time . We’re busy professionals in our house , and the repairs need to be accommodating our schedule not the other way around. If I knew I have to go through this nightmare I would not buy a Lennar house. ... More

Love my townhouse. However I am almost 2 weeks moved in and my sons room and his bathroom have no power. Had to send in a request and it could be weeks before someone comes to fix it.

Overall process was great. There some hiccups towards closing with Lennar's lender, stuff that could have been avoided if the documents we provided were processed earlier, instead of the week before closing.

We bought because of the area and pricing , realtor was 5 stars all around and still is, even after we bought he has helped in so many ways. I definitely recommend Aaron 100%. As for the Loan officer , was a terrible experience after the 1st interaction. She would never answer texts, emails or phone calls till she needed something from you. Was very negative that you would be approved although my income was double what was needed. I suggested if you do get assigned to NINA to run the other way. lol. Or ask for someone else. But the home is great , used some cheap materials and we had to do a few upgrades and adjustments to make it better. Wish the WiFi was able to hardwired in better places than kitchen and living room. Cu my offices can’t be hardwired since they are downstairs. Electrical is the bare minimum. So eventually you will have to upgrade. Master bathroom we had to upgrade because floor was very slippery and 3 different neighbors agreed. They said double pane windows but they are not. We have made about 5 warranty calls. The HOA is not good at returning emails or calls either till they are ready to talk to you. The response time is a snails pace. Otherwise great neighbors. The gym is terrin as well. ... More

We would have given an overall higher score had we not used Lennar Mortgage. The process of securing our mortgage was complicated, confusing and duplicative. On the other hand we love our home and have found Lennar to be very responsive to our questions and to any concerns we may have had.

Employees were polite, but communication was subpar. In addition, workmanship quality was not top notch.

The experience was not too bad but there were things we wish were clearer at the time we decided to sign in to buy the townhouse. Initially, the post we saw on Zillow said 100 HOA which we thought it was great. But after signing in we learned that it was going to be 220 HOA plus $99 CDD which was not in the post we saw. And after we purchased we found out the HOA was $270 instead so it's something a little disappointing because we could've been told from the beginning. The townhouse also was supposed to be done by February or March but it took them around 2 more months to get it built and delivered to us. We had to use special financing in order to qualify and also we got incentives for the purchase but all those numbers were pretty confusing and we still don't understand were the incentives went and how the 11k extra that had to be paid for the special financing worked to help. We're very happy with our new home and I believe somehow the incentives helped us but I would rate everything around 3.5 for not being clear enough with us to understand the numbers the way it should be. ...

Everything was going great until last minute we were required to bring more money to closing. The drive through closing was just not ideal. But overall we love our home and anything that has gone wrong was fixed or waiting to be fixed
