Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

My new home was delivered unfinished. No follow-up on when things will get fixed. To name a few issues of MANY, my kitchen is unfinished, closet doors were not painted correctly, all doors are damaged, concrete floors in porch and patio are ruined, and after closing, we found out there is no infrastructure for the internet (we live in a "connected ultra wifi community."

This is by far the worst new home experience ever, due to the fact that the home was poorly done and rush with missing cabinets in which I have to wait until Feb to get finished, poor and sloppy job on the interior painting in which half of the wall were not even touch and had to paint myself. For this to be a new home felt like a fixer upper, Felt sorry for the new construction manager in which no fault of his own was very helpful and tried to fix many of the problems in which I was not the only one. I totally blame Lennar for rushing and allowing the sloppiness that took place for an over priced TH, very disappointed because my last Lennar home was perfect wish I would of kept that one ... More

I have to say, buying our new Lennar home has been one of the most stressful experiences of my life. From our walkthrough (with no lights or AC), to closing day where these issues were still not resolved, to issues that are still not resolved in our home almost 2 months after closing. You have to jump through hoops to get things fixed, even when they been notated multiple times. The materials in the home are cheap- pressed wood cabinets and laminate counters in the bathrooms. It’s very clear that once the sale was made, we were no longer a priority. The workmanship inside the home is shoddy. It’s apparent that these homes are just thrown together, and as close tighter, in order to make quick money. We will never purchase another Lennar home. I cannot imagine that this company has consistent repeat business based on the way they treat their customers. ... More

Purchased house was told I would get touch up paint, never received! Three boxes to replacement tiles, was told to text Nolan did on several occasions never received. Doors painted with semi gloss, touched up with flat paint. We have paint on carpets in bedrooms Just horrible

They said the the repairs would be done 5 days after closing now I have been my home for 7 weeks and still no work has been done word to new buyers don't sign at closing until the home is done

For a home that was over 1/2 a million dollars, the quality and craftsmanship were not there. Things never added up to what the builder was thinking from the landscaping (who puts really big trees right next to one's house and expects there not to be a problem 10 years down the road), Even the kitchen looked like someone brought in a bathroom with the subway tile backsplash in which we asked not to be put in. The outside of our home is not painted in the proper color scheme as indicated in the design plans. The master bathroom shower has a small shower head on one side of the shower and 80+ inches on the other wall is the shower bench in which the water from the shower head never reaches the bench. The shower door in the master bathroom lacks sealant and water goes all over the floor. The Master bathroom has Cabinet Shells but nothing inside and no way to organize the things that might go under the sink. Laundry room lacks functionality as the cabinets are too small. The Kitchen Sink was a single stainless steel sink 14 1/2" by 22"....could not even put a big pot into it and lacked functionality of a normal sink. Overall closet space is very limited. For a new house, I expected to pay a bit to add my family touch to it but 25,000 to sink in is a bit ridiculous as I had to remove the bathroom from the kitchen (got rid of the white subway tile, removed all carpet and put in tile, Cut the white quartz counter top to accommodate a bigger sink that provides functionality. Installed a Shower Panel to get water flow to the bench (barely gets there but 1billion % better than the small shower head. Still waiting to properly fix the color scheme of the house. Have to pay someone and ask HOA for permission to remove the soon to be big trees from the house all together to prevent problems with foundation and/or sprinkler system. Sigh...the list keeps growing and I just am left asking Whomever designed this home and layout must have been higher than high. ... More

Spend the extra money and go with a better builder

Horrible house finishing. Close in August we are in January and still waiting for things to be fix.

We hears nothing but good things about Lenna but had trouble from day one due to Carlos.

Customer service with various parts of Lennar were horrible and have no idea what the word communication means.

The mortgage company with Lennar has horrible customer service. They treat their clients like crap after all the effort they put into buying their homes. I'd never buy with Lennar again.

This isn't my first home with Lennar and I was very happy with my previous purchase but not so happy with my recent purchase. The home has had numerous problems including roof leak. I'm very unhappy and filled with buyer remorse. This will be my last Lennar home.

If you are going to purchase a Lennar home be sure you can be onsite everyday looking at the construction being done. The workmanship was not good on our house and we will be putting in rework tickets the entire year during our warranty period. You also need to do a thorough walk through before you accept the house and pack your patience for closing; just plan on a three hour ordeal. Good luck!

Terrible service from the sales person. Construction mgr was very responsive and fixed all issues.

So many problems, but the biggest one is that my brand new house that I closed less than 2 months ago, now has diffused mold in the kitchen and a water leak under the concrete. I can't even move in even though I'm about to make second mortgage payment.

Where to start? Immediate leak from upstairs kids bathroom the first time one of them took a shower. Leaked down into the bottom floor soaking insulation. Still waiting five weeks later for it to be fully fixed so my daughter can have her on room back, so we don’t have large holes in her wall and the downstairs ceiling. Whoever put in the grass cared nothing about people safely mowing their lawns. The first time I mowed (after Lennar didn’t for three weeks), I took chunks out of the blades in the lawnmower because large chunks of cement and thick gauge wire were left in the yard. Related also to the yard, one of your folks planted a palm tree right on the property line, so we’ll have to put up the fence over the property line. Amenities inside the house are sparse. We’ve already spent. $5000 more to have ceiling fans and central room lights installed- those should’ve been installed during construction. The dishwasher and washer feel cheap and are. The dishwasher doesn’t dry dishes and the washer is needlessly loud and I’m guessing not energy efficient based on our first month’s bill, but they could also be related to large holes in the wall and ceiling. Your HOA oversteps its boundaries. We got a landline for my wife’s elderly mother so she could call relatives in her native South Korea. I was told by your provider we must ASK PERMISSION for each country we wish to call. I don’t need, nor intend to ask permission. It is a service provided to us and I don’t need or want intrusive people deciding where we can and can’t call. I will not recommend any friends purchase a home from Lennar in Pearl Estates. The lack of quality control, cheap furnishings and HOA have made our purchase a mistake. ... More

Lack of communication between departments. Not flexible. A lot of issues with the house. Cheap materials

Not professional , not informed correctly , bad communication . I’ve dealt with builders in the past and did not experience what I have experienced with Lennar . Their finance team is no good

We selected Lennar because it was building homes in the area we wanted to live. No other builders really had inventory in our our price range and timeline. What a mistake! Worst experience I've ever had. They were late completing the home. The mortgage division is incompetent. They cost us thousands of dollars due to their mistakes.

Not a good experience with the sales manager and her forcing us to close on the house to meet month ends numbers when repairs and gas line leak needed to be fixed. They threatened that if we didn't close even though there were major issues that they would put us in default and we would have to pay late fees. For our initial walkthrough the home was a mess, wasn't cleaned and debris all over but wanted to close on time and blame us despite these issues

Home was supposed to be completed in 5/2023 which is the reason we selected the property. We were then told it would close in June 2023. We coordinated the sale of our residence to coincide with the closing date in June. The closing was then pushed out to July 2023. We did a walk through of the property several days before the closing and marked numerous items that needed to be repaired (cracked tiles, cracked pavers, exterior issues, dead landscaping, missing sod in numerous places, missing blinds, bugs, not cleaned, missing caulking, drywall issues, holes in concrete, etc). We were told they would be completed by closing. Only a couple of the minor issues were completed. We closed because we had closed on the sale on our home and had no place to go. We were assured the items listed during the walk through would be completed asap. To date we still have a lengthy list on things that have not been completed and since moving in we have found more items. Not a pleasant experience since it seems that once you sign a contract and put down the deposit they do not communicate with you or misinform you. The lack of communication and lack of responsiveness throughout the company is shocking. ... More

Make sure you are getting the whole truth about the fees that are charged here. There are 3 different accounts: 1 - $180.00 the second fee is $237.01 the third B is $112.00. We were told everything was covered under the $180.00. But it isn’t so buyer be aware of what you are told. Next time I will get everything in writing with signatures. Trust me no one wants to make this mistake right.

I am very disappointed in the quality of work. There were so many issues with the house prior to my closing it was a very sad day by no means not a happy day. And still dealing with issues that should have been done right before closing. I would not refer anyone to buying a Lennar home in this community. Everyone that I have had the pleasure meeting has said that they have had nothing but problems. This is not a good thing coming from others and the workers say we do what we get paid for what does that tell you. I have had to spend a lot out of my own pocket to get the work done the right way. ... More

Started off with a leak before closing and it’s been 2 months after we closed and it’s still not fully rectified. It takes numerous follow ups on our part to get anything moving. The warranty team has been the only competent people during this process and I do thank Stephanie and Shaun. Neighbors next door smoke detector goes off at least once a week for hours showcasing the material in the homes isn’t great quality. HOA is impossible to get ahold of and annoyed when you do reach out with questions. Homes seem rushed and once it’s thrown together it’s pretty obvious the areas they just completely missed or completed incorrectly. ... More

Is the worse experience I had, water was coming inside the house when raining through the windows I reported to everyone and my husband had to fixed almost a month and nobody has follow up this issue. The house was with the tapes pending things to be fixed and dirty at the time of the walking through before closing. I am still waiting….BAD.
