Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

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

This was an purchased as an investment property as good thing this was not our main residence. We had our walk thru with the main project manager and gave him a punch list of items that needed attention and or repaired. None of it got done (even after we closed) and they had us submit any issues once they got their money to a website to submit any further claims or issues. After a week of calling they came out and fixed some of the issues and we still have several items were still waiting on hat need attention. This has been ongoing on for over a month now. Very poor customer service and the quality for what you pay for is very subpar. I would avoid this homebuilder if you can (especially if this is your main residence) ... More

Home was delivered 1 year late with very poor craftsmanship and little quality control. House was not delivered in moved in condition and was very dirty. Craftsmanship is equivalent to DIY. Uneven flooring, cracked tiles, cracked grout, loose, rotted, moldy subfloors, missing cabinetry, electrical issues, crooked walls, sloppy paint and trim work.

2 days after moving in to the new construction home my downstairs bathroom had a sewage back up and overflow. I had 6 inches of sewage in my entire bottom floor of the house. Bayonet was sent out to scope the lines and clear the clog, they found construction rags blocking the path and the cause for the over flow. This over flow ruined almost all of my furniture and everything in the boxes that had not been unpacked yet sitting in my living room. I was told everything would be covered by Lennar, this was not true. 3 weeks of very loud dehumidifiers running 24/7, which increased my electric bill by almost $200, my living room was tented off where I could hardly get into my kitchen for 4 weeks, I also had to miss a lot of work just to be home while they replaced the drywall that had been damaged. I am a first time home buyer who has had a horrible experience with Lennar through this process. I have still not received an apology for the incompetence of the construction workers, only god knows how they got the construction rags in the pipes. After everything got repaired I proceed to ask about when I would be reimbursed for my personal belongings that were damaged considering I had been told the whole time that I would be reimbursed. I was then given a warranty handbook and told to read a section on page 9 that tells me they aren’t responsible for personal belongings damaged even though I have no control over this. I am getting married in august and still have about 10k that has to be paid off. I am now put further in debt because I have to buy all new furniture. This was supposed to be a fresh start and the beginning to an amazing next set of years, instead I am stuck in a rut thanks to Lennar. What a horrible experience this has been. Unfortunately all I have been left with is to urge everyone that I know to never buy a home from Lennar. ... More

I had tenant moved into my new house with lots of issues, unfinished drywall paintings, big issue AC is still NOT working after moving into the house for more than a month, glad our tenant was tolerant. Tenants started complaining about noises on the pipes, glad it turned out be something small. This was my worst experience and appreciate if you can look into the issues, this is my fourth home, I am owning and never had any serious experiences like this with any other builder. Hopefully someone can focus on these issues and come up with a resolution soon

This is the second Lennar home I’ve bought within four years. From my experience, Lennar has greatly improved their services. I do like the educational videos, and their process for warranty requests have greatly been improved. I do like my home, but workmanship still has a lot to be desired. For example, my pavers at one spot keep collapsing, and I have noticed that there isn’t as much as a speck of the white polymer sand applied on the surface to fill in the spaces. As a result, the spaces are enlarging. I have had a couple tickets called in for repairs in certain spots, which were done, but the issue keeps resurfacing. I am confident that Lennar will have a permanent solution for the pavers. After all, curb appeal is an introduction to one’s home. Overall, I believe that Lennar is trying to have their customers feel satisfied with their purchase. ... More

Since we close the house we have lot of issues especially dishwasher not working at all Lennar suppose to solve this push to Ge the front and back they never finish brick work in side lot of places paint on floor final finishing is very bad we spend lot of money now we have to do it our self every time you call they said this is not us we dont cover lots small things never finish again workmanship is very bad

Process was full of delays, lack of communication, follow through and poor craftsmanship When the home was turned over.

I’ve had a few issues with the home, but that’s to be expected with a new house. It’s the response that bothers me. Most of the plastic was left inside of the tub of my guest bathroom-it looks dirty and gross… I asked for assistance on how to remove it-no answer. One of the trees installed on the front lawn is falling over and dying… I asked for help- no response. I had other issues, but they were resolved quickly….I am grateful for that, but not getting help for these other two issues leaves me disappointed.

For the past 20 years, I have worked in Real Estate and in purchasing my own home, one would think I would have a better experience. I closed because I needed to but today, my issues are still not resolved. I chase to get things done and no one responds. Worse experience for any homeowner. The quality of the workmanship on my home is horrible.

The sales person was terrific and helped with the buying process. The closing was delayed by Lennar. The condition and cleanliness of my new home was poor. Empty bottles inside and out, paint job was awful. Paint everywhere with spots missed on the walls. There was paint on mirrors, on carpet, tile floors, cabinets, shower doors. No hot water, broken cabinets and fence behind the house is crooked and we lost footage. Lennar could have done better for the price we paid.

Probably the worst craftsmanship I have ever seen. When you complain about it they basically tell you to close or they will fine you. It has been almost 2 months they still haven’t fixed drywall, paint, tiles, cabinets. James, Kyle, Stephanie all bad. They want the sale and that’s it. Kyle has to be the worst. Took go through the house and see the terrible job and put a stamp of approval is terrible what they do to the consumer. But as the manager Stephanie (I think her name was) it’s all about closing on homes for the investors. They’re mentality is don’t worry about the product being put out just close as fast as possible. Go with a different builder ... More

We closed the home a couple of months ago. The house was not ready to be closed due to several issues found during the final walkthrough. But we closed as they promised to fix all items on the same day. But they did not fix all issues. I had a terrible experience working with a few folks. After I moved into the house, I found several issues and reported them to Lennar’s warranty department, and waiting for their response. I went back to my apartment in NJ as no internet is available, and I needed to work from home. I fixed several issues associated with the washer. The dishwasher doesn’t work correctly. No power connection to the internet panels. No grounding rod is installed. Poor painting. Overall I had a very bad experience working with Lennar. Hopefully, they will learn one day how to treat customers with respect and gratitude. ... More

Instead of being “ wowed” our home buying experience was terrible. The inside of the home was ok, the tile floors being the worst….in fact we are still trying to get the floors clean and presentable. The customer rep seemed bored and mechanical and did not act on any issues for over a month. Our construction manager Mark was the only reliable person that we could talk to. Workmanship is absolutely terrible. Extremely disappointing to find out that the interior was painted a flat white, no one told us and we spent more money painting that we should have. Lennar should have given us some credit for fixing stark white walls. Even the landscaping was seemingly done without thought. The backyard is bumpy, a friend has already fallen. The workers are careless and there isn’t any craftsmanship. I was told that Lennar is a production builder….I believe it. Wish we could go back in time and have a wonderful experience…..I guess that is only found in dreams. ... More

Move in experience was kind of a hustle. Need to identify al issues immediately and if find other problems must go through on line process that has not been paid attention to. I had to pay for outside people to address my issues.. sorry got into this situation.

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.

This home buying experience has been a total nightmare. Everything from poor workmanship to electrical, plumbing, door issues, etc. We closed 2 months ago and still have multiple issues that have not been taken care of. In addition, we found out after we closed on our house that Lennar does not include screen doors on the patio doors! We purchase them from C&C window for $720.00. When they went to install them on the triple slider, they couldn't install because the door frame was installed incorrectly. C&C replaced the door jam and installed the screens but in the process ripped out a big section of drywall and Stucco that still hasn't been repaired. In addition to that I still have a list of 14 items that have not been corrected. Once they get your money, good luck with getting issues fixed. ... More

I believe lennar is priced competitively in triple creek. You will miss out on some upgraded features but if your not afraid of some diy projects you can make it what you want and save a few bucks.

This is my second experience with Lennar, first house had good quality in almost everything; the new house had a lot of issues and now is really difficult to get them fixed. I only got help from one person (Mr Lee). Also the way that they does the closing is annoying, my realtor had to get paperwork through the title company after almost two months because they never gave me a copy.

The quality of EVERYTHING in my home is garbage. My experience with Lennar has not been a good one.
