Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

I went through different models and they all had white cabinets. I was told I was getting white cabinets, got gray. Was told to bad, you signed the contract. This is what you get, there are no options. Was told if I wanted a custom build, I had to go to a custom builder. I moved in and was trying to get cable hooked up, which is part of the HOA and there was a problem. I spent all day leaving messages and not once was called back. Finally at 4:30 I found someone who guided me in the right direction. Found beer cans in my cabinet while they were still building. Which explains some of the shoddy work done. When I moved in the floors were filthy, windows dirty, grout dirty, line of ants climbing up an outside wall into AC pipe. These are all things noted during the walk-through. I didn’t move in until two months after my closing, I was on a trip, and none of these things were taken care of. Cheapest appliances made. So if you want shoddy work and no choices about anything, which I was willing to live with a farmers sink, I wanted a split sink, which wall you are dictated to put your tv on, a tiny one car garage that you can’t put your golf cart and car in at the same time, which I find strange because it is a golf community, then Lennar is your builder. ...

House was not done at closing but was forced to close with no recourse. Once closed, was told to call the warranty depth. House was barely clean at closing. I still get emails requesting a signature on a document that I previously had signed 2 times. I've previously purchesed 2 new construction homes and thus was by far the worst. Not happy at all.

Of course you don’t want last names.. everyone would give the same negative review for the same pitiful construction manager Aaron. There’s not point going on about my experience with Lennar, no one above cares to fix their problems. I just hope EVERYONE I share my experience with turns away from Lennar and saves themselves the headaches! Listen to your friends when they tell you stay away from a Lennar home!!!

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

Lennar is extremely unresponsive and quaility of work is poor. I would never buy from Lennar again. I just did a walk-through with BTI Parnters at Marina Pointe. Their attention to detail was night and day comparted to Lennar.

This was the most unorganized build I have ever had. I used Lennar mortgage and title, thinking it would help communications. However, none of them seemed to communicate nor even know what the other was doing. I had unbelievable issues at every step. My closing was a disaster of miscommunication and they ended up missing 2 pages for me to sign. Then hounded me to sign the pages and fedex them. I have very obvious damages, which were just ignored until after closing and are now “warrenty”. Including a dropped dryer with the back dented in. The grinding noise made me call GE. These are just a few of my issues. The local warranty man makes me very uncomfortable as he keeps asking to be invited to my hot tub. ... More

Lennar is horrible. Offered an outrageous interest rate. Had us do a walkthrough when the house was nowhere close to being ready. Rude and unaccommodating staff. Extremely stressful and disappointing experience.

Was really excited to buy my first home and everything seemed great at the beginning. That was about the only good experience. From the buying experience, to the build, to the close, everything was a nightmare and I would never recommend Lennar to my worst enemy. The title office called me as I was on the way to close telling me I owed more money, literally as I was driving there after being told multiple times I owed nothing more. "Glitch" in their system was the excuse. The house was unfinished when I moved in, and is still unfinished. Almost all of my kitchen cabinets are broken or missing, cracks in tiles, bathroom cabinets broken, showers unfinished, granite countertops not sealed, cheaped out on a bunch of materials that most of the neighborhood got but I didn't, because they "ran out of material" to do my garage floor, cabinet handles, brick wall outside, etc. The construction manager Travis literally told me he was going to fight me if he saw me outside of work because I told them they were doing a bad job after being patient for months and understanding all of their push backs and excuses for not getting the job done. The list goes on but this is just the stuff off the top of my head after being in the home for two months. Again, get as far away from this builder as you can. They hide behind their contracts and take ZERO pride in their work/customer service because they know there is nothing you can do to them after you sign your life away and give them the down payment. RUN. RUN. RUN. ... More

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
