Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

What's the sense of doing a walk through if the issues weren't addressed? I should have not believe the builder that they would be addressed after closing. It was also disappointing that Lennar did not provide a welcome or after closing packet with instructions. I will never buy another Lennar home.

Very happy with my purchase from Lennar great people to deal very helpful above my expectations

very disappointed at the quality of work that was done with the house. The first week we moved in the AC wasn't working properly. then a week later went completely out and we needed to get a brand new AC unit. a lot of cracks on walls and floor boards. There's an issue with the design outside that it still not been fixed. The dishwasher seems like it was not installed properly because it takes couple of attempts to actually close the door. The Warranty team are helping when they can but for a house that's 589k brand new, I shouldn't have to all these things that my family and I are going through. ... More

Many details in the Townhome and very poor effective attention

We had Suzett as our sales consultant. She is the best. Responsive, honest, determined, knowledgeable, caring and friendly. She made our experience great.

Aaron was phenomenal and has done all that he can to try and make the best of an unpleasant experience; he has truly been the only Lennar representative who values customer service and should be moved into a position of higher responsibility. The remainder of our experience has been wrought with nothing but frustration with Lennar blaming trade partners, the market, etc. I would never recommend a Lennar home and we have purchased two in here last year with a similar experience.

Was literally told during NHO walk I cannot postpone closing as home was not completed. Here we are 65 days after closing with same issues from NHO walk. Constantly told things which are lies,

This was by far the worst experience purchasing a new home with any new builder and the worst interior finish of any new home we have purchased over the last decade. Issues started right after signing the contract - a home that was listed as “quick move in” suddenly was only available only 3 months later and then eventually was closed after 7 months. I had 3 rate lock extensions. After we closed the home, the house was essentially delivered as unfinished. There were (and still are) unfinished drywall, trim, paint, hardware, electrical and concrete issues. Drywall finish is so bad that it looks like an amateur job. There are at least 50 drywall punch list items some that are visible from 6 feet away. Electrical issues range from mis connected light switches to the CAT5 cable not protruding to the exterior. Paint job is splotchy and we will be contracting with a painter to refinish the paint at our own personal expense (Lennar doesn’t cover paint finish). The handrails are not polished and the stain is half done (looks like one coat). The countertops were not cleaned (they still have builder notes , markings on them). Doors are fixed haphazardly and some of them stick out of their jamb (Lennar will not cover under warranty because they are still “functional”). Cabinets and drawers are also fixed amateurishly with zero alignment amongst cabinets and drawers - again it’s not covered under warranty since they are functional (but not aesthetic). A chunk of concrete in front of the garage is missing - surprised that their construction super missed it. And cherry on top is that they painted right on top of it. Essentially workmanship is horrible (and they acknowledge but won’t do anything about it because they are aesthetic). When requesting warranty be prepared to wait a long time for repairs. The only good thing is that their employees try to cover for what I believe is their overall corporate directive to build as many shabby houses as possible to cash in on the boom before the bust. The exterior looks okay from what we can tell. Our advice: Do not give inspection a skip and write up as many items as possible during the walk through. Don’t be shy on writing even minor things up. Once it’s in the punch list it’s easier to get it repaired - if not, good luck. Better yet wait for the market to settle and buy a better home. ... More

Lennar specializes in poor workmanships. They do the bare minimum. which is very disappointed.. They should invest in better subcontractors.

Terrible experience the base boards and the foundation of the home wasn't sealed. Some of the trims in the house have spaces and are uneven. Some areas of the house didn't get painted on the outside. So many gaps in the foundation of the home that bugs get into. Just horrible overall experience. I wouldn't recommend lennar to anyone.

Overall the process of booking home was smooth but after that it was a train wreck. Nobody, I mean nobody bothered to communicate when home would be completed. It was only after asking them almost once week they would reveal how long the delays are. My interest rate went up 50% during this time. What a shame. After closing, it took 6 weeks to take care of very minor issues. Things like paint touch ups took long time even though they were painting next door. I will think twice before buying from Lennar again.

Its not worth to buy. Lots of challenges and pains.

From the lack of sales support, to the purchase agreement to the mortgage process to closing and service after closing HORRIBLE experience. The home is poorly built several structural issues, flooring issues. Worst real estate decision I have ever made.

Lennar makes the home buying experience easy. However, after moving in to my new home, I discovered that it seems like hired contactors do not pay attention to details. Poor paint job....drips everywhere.

Would not recommend Lennar unless no other options. Too big business and corporate pushiness.

Very dissatisfied we have built 3 homes in fl and I would never buy a Lennar home again. Very poor workmanship. Totally stressed out from dealing with them. They slap their homes together and don’t care how they look.

Still waiting on walkthrough issues to be addressed.

Horrible craftsmanship for an upscale home it sucks for a 2600 sq ft home they screw the home owner and put in a 3 ton ac unit left exposed molding in kitchen cheapest kitchen upscale home my rear end biggest mistake I ever made buying from this builder the yard floods when it rains garage floor is already cracking I’m tired of typing you get the idea stay away

Would not buy a lennar home again!

In my opinion, lennar rushes through walk through and there is a lack of supervision while the house is being built. A house should only be allowed to be sold if perfect. Total lack of crafmanship....

Make sure before you close you have builders fix any issues don’t sign and let them promise that it will be fixed

Construction person not so great difficult to speak with anyone

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

Thank you very much Lennar

I’ve spent so much time and effort trying to get Lennar to make things right I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this review. You name it; it’s broken or done haphazardly. NEVER again. And lastly, broken promise after broken promise to make things right. It’s not just me, any time I talk to a neighbor they’re dealing with the same thing. Completely unreal.
