Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

We worked remotely with the builder and a local realtor. The overall selling process was smooth. Our questions were answered in a timely manner. The workmanship and timeliness of addressing post-occupancy issues could be improved. Communication between the builder and the owner could also be better. There is still a bit of confusion as to who is responsible for what after the closing. Is it the builder or HOA?

Ray helped me and ALWAYS answered the phone, which is really important I think. The project manager, Russell, was very helpful as well, and I was allowed to do multiple walk-throughs of the property as it was built. After everything was done, Julius, the warranty guy was super responsive in giving attention to a couple of things that I missed. Overall a really good experience. Would definitely recommend this builder to any friends and family.

I closed on my home in Feb 2023. Prior to closing, I found items in one of the closets. This is a new build, no one should have left anything in one of my closets! A few weeks later, I had a sewer backup in my half bath that saturated half of my livingroom. The issue was baby wipes that were flushed. When I took photos of the items in my closet, there was a pack of baby wipes with the items. This happened over a month ago and I'm STILL trying to get this situation taken care of. That's just one issue....it takes forever to get things done (punchlist) that were supposed to be completed prior to closing. I have a countertop in my kitchen that has a huge imperfection in the granite that they will not replace. My home was supposed to have glass not a shower rod in the master bath. One of the sinks in the master bath has a crack from the drain to the granite countertop. I can go on and on, about this nightmare. This is my first home and I'm full of regrets!! Haven't lived in the home for a full month yet and is already wanting to sale it! I paid a lot of money for this home and it was built with scraps by unskilled workers! Don't do it!!!! If you do end up so desperate that you purchase a Lennar Home, take photos of EVERYTHING! ... More

I am very happy with the way everything went with the purchase of the house through Lennar Mortgage.

The whole experience with Lennar has been a nightmare. Dealing with the construction manager and his boss was a horrible experience. On the first walk through we used 2 rolls of blue tape for the discrepancies. Then things went downhill from there! The tile was messed up in both bathrooms shower areas, with a long list of other issues. Then 10 days later, I went back to do the walk through to close on the house and there had not been 1 thing done to correct the issues. There was drywall issues, paint issues, concrete issues, then paint issues on the outside of the house, roof issues, then lawn issues where they had to replace the entire lawn because no one watered the lawn. Then they were wanting me to close on the house with all the issues not being resolved. They had 3 people pressuring me to sign off on the house, which I would not do till all the issues were resolved. Which now after living there I have received a $1,700 water bill, with another $1,100 - $1,400 water bill the following month. All because Lennar hooked my Irrigation System to the main water meter and did not hook it up to the reclaimed water meter. So, the Irrigation system got billed for the water and then the sewage. I had the Zephyrhills water company come out, and he showed me that I have had a reclaim water meter but it was never hooked up to the irrigation system. Now, dealing with the Lennar warranty people are non-responsive to this urgent issue of a $1,700 water bill that even the water company said was Lennar’s responsibility. Lennar people make all these promises and then they never follow through with any commitments. This is the Lennar homes in Abbott Square neighborhood. So, at this point I would NEVER buy another house from Lennar Homes. Buy at your own risk, and inspect and double check everything before you close! ... More

Response to arising issues is poor, new community information in non-existent and the entire area need to be kept cleaner. The home construction workmanship needs extra attention to details for smaller issues that are important. I have several small home fixes that need done and I’m not getting a timely response for a fix?

Comfortable home for a good price. Friendly and helpful people.

Communication was not the best. The morning of closing, was told we might not get the home due to documents that were needed and not told to us until day of closing. Did not get a lot of information from Lennar rep. Thing that are supposed to get fixed still are not and can’t get ahold of correct person to do so. Will recommend due to beautiful homes but will no recommend due to lack of communication

On day 1 we had a water leak because a pipe from the AC unit burst inside the house. Weeks of inconvenience and worry. The paint is already peeling. Issues with the washing machine and windows. Very sloppy workmanship with little or no supervision. There is more I could add.

I moved in 2 months after closing . Home was built in rush so there are many little issue including internet connection with HOA but they are very responsive in resolving all the issues . I have to send multiple tickets but they care and help to resolve the problem .

Overall extremely challenging to communicate with the lennar team. Multiple people all responsible for different branches none of them communicate clearly, causing lots of frustration.

I purchased a single family home a +55 Active Community and would not ever purchase from Lennar again. Attention to detail and simply doing the job right the first time is lacking. 1. There was not a model for me see so I relied on assurances from the salesperson about certain aspects of the home. The model I toured had large lanai similar size to the one on my house. The model has a hose spigot. I specifically asked the salesperson if my house would have one and was told yes. After the house went up and I inquired why the spigot wasn't there, I was told no. 2.I have doors that open onto each other meaning the door handle from one door is already denting the opposite door. When the door warranty person came out he advised one of the doors should have been a pocket door. In two other places where the doors open onto one another he advised the swing of the door should have been reversed. Lennar's response is, just because our warranty person makes a recommendation we are not bound to make the correction. The result will be that I end up tearing a hole in the door. 3. When I moved in the outlets on the kitchen wall did not work. The warranty electrician had to cut a hole in the dry wall and install a junction box because one was not installed in the build. That meant another warranty person had to come back repair the drywall and paint. 4. A couple days after moving in I smelled gas in the cabinet under the gas cook top. The gas company came out and showed me that the connection had been properly sealed - thus the leak.5. The stainless still kitchen sink is horribly scratched. At the time of final walk through there was so much dust and an dirt in the sink I did not see the scratches. A warranty person came once an rubbed out some of the scratches, I am waiting on a second visit. 6.There is no brush on the bottom of the sliding glass door so bugs come in. Daily, there is as much dirt in the tracks inside as outside the door. 7. The MBD and FR ceiling and light fan were wired so that both the light and the fan were on the same switch when you should be able to turn on one or the other. Meaning... yet another call for and trip from a warranty person to correct the issue. Every trip by a warranty person is another request and another day I have to arrange to be home with people traipsing in and out of the house. 8. The house was left was dirty. The grout in the tile floor is filthy. It should be a light color almost white and it is gray with dust and dirt. Looks like they laid the floors and failed to cover them while additional work was being done. After closing I removed one of the upper and lower cabinet next to the refrigerator to have a bar area built. When we removed the lower cabinet we found the cabinet had been installed on the cement floor. They should have extended the kitchen tile and then installed the cabinet. Additionally the floors in the showers were not cleaned after construction. ... More

In overall, it is a good experience, good accompaniment throughout the process, they could improve the materials they use in the bathrooms, update the laundry machines, provide information on how to contract the garbage service.

The process was mind boggling at first, but it was the best thing I have experience beside my two kids. Lennar was by my side through the entire process and in the end I was very satisfied. With that being said, I adore my new home.

Throughout the process I was able to communicate with everyone I needed and the responses were timely.

good material but very slopy workmanship. Have to schedule. Repair every week floor tiles were installed by a blind worker need I say more.

Any issues they answer right away

We are very happy with our home now, but the builders were very sloppy, and we had a lot of cleanup to take care of when we moved in to our place. The grounds in our subdivision are still cluttered with all kinds of construction trash. It is a shame that the company does not take more pride in what is left behind.

Many things told such as gated community, golf cart friendly fans in all rooms and water views not happening They say they did not promise it their salespeople did.

Home was a mess.. floors were so dirty, notch for front door lock was off causing door not to lock properly, many floor tiles without mud underneath (hollow sound), lanai light covered by drywall, electrical outlet in attic missing, garage floor has deep embedded lines in concrete, 2nd lanai light not connected to truss (couldn’t hang fan), poor overall craftsmanship

Lennar’s model is to build a lot of nice homes quickly. Community well planned and they streamline the process for output. This means no customization and a little less Quality Control than I would like. But, they fix the problems and the price gives you room to go back and customize the things you really want. They even worked with us to change lots mid-process. Overall. We are very happy

Cameron was very helpful getting checklist things done in a timely manner.

Craftsmanship was horrible. We were so depressed with the process. The finishing work is terrible, cabinets crooked, floors not done well, paint everywhere, windows mismatched and low quality, fixtures not installed right. Cheap, cheap, cheap. I do not know how you can increase prices and decrease quality. It’s very sad but everyone should be warned

Lennar was very attentive and friendly UNTIL we closed . Since then nothing . Promises made and thus far not kept . This is a beautiful development and nice homes . It is a shame we can not get any one from Lennar to respond . There are finish details to fix , still no mailbox key . We are very disappointed .

The buying experience with Lennar is as one might expect, A large company getting through a lot of detail in a streamlined manner. Some things fall through the cracks and they do a pretty good job of fixing those things. From a buyer’s perspective it seems like having the ability to make changes in the home at an early stage makes the purchase more attractive. Being unable to decide what the end result will be makes the home a cookie cutter product. When you are putting up your life savings it’s hard to understand that a company doesn’t understand that 8 or 10 different homes isn’t enough of a choice in possibilities to make thousands of different personalities happy with their finished product. People have different day to day lives. They want a home that works for them. ... More
