Lennar Reviews in Atlanta, GA

I bought the house before construction. After paid deposit, it turned out the house was very not as good as expectation. The quality is bad and warranty team is bad.

had to be on top of 5 different people to understand delays and work to be done. House looks nice, but I see a lot of issues in terms of quality and workmanship

First time buying house with them and was very disappointed! Lots of unprofessional workers on drywall, painting and electrical. They have to revisit my place many times after final walk.

We closed on the house 2 months ago. We couldn't live in the house for most of the first month because AT&T, who is the only supplier of internet and TV for the subdivision, did not have service to our location. The builder should have known that. Also, we still have outstanding items from the pre-closing punch list that are not resolved. The Home Care people contact us every couple of weeks to say that they are having a meeting to make a plan to solve our issues, but we are still waiting for them to fix cabinets and install the correct garage door. Practically every day we identify other short-comings in the build, like there isn't any insulation above the morning room and all of the bathroom tile needs to be cleaned due to dried grout or other material on the surface. The crown molding was butted together, rather than overlapped, so gaps are starting to show between the pieces. We expected a much more positive experience buying a new home in this community but have been disappointed with all of the outstanding issues that we have to manage. ... More

For $400,000 you expect a certain quality in a home. This does not live up to the expectations. Very poor quality paint, sheet rock, tile work, workmanship and appliances. When we moved in the oven didn’t work, the dryer outlet didn’t work, the dishwasher leaves the dishes unclean and wet, paint feels like sandpaper, paint peels off the doors if you try to clean the glass or they get wet, crack in ceiling about 6 feet long in the kitchen. The Sheetrock is a very cheap quality and very thin. You have to be very careful when you try to mount towel bars or toilet paper holders. The grout is crumbling on the backsplash in the kitchen. The tile in the master shower is unlevel and water puddles in the floor about a quarter inch in spots. When asked to repair the crack we were told that it is a common problem in this floor plan and we should wait until the year end inspection because they will only fix it once and if we do it now the house will continue to settle and it will crack again. The same was said for the nail and screw heads that are popping through the paint already. They wish they could do it more than once but if they do it for us they have to do it for everyone. Top row of rock on the front of the house was installed wrong and they were told when it was first done but they said we would have to wait until the final walkthrough to address it and other issues. Then they said the contractor told them that it was the correct way to be installed and they wouldn’t change it. Therefore the grout on the top row of rock wouldn’t seal to the siding because they tried to use a clear silicon and it wouldn’t fill the gaps. They then tried to fill the gaps with mortar and it looks awful. Paint on the outside of the house is of a poor quality and so thin you can see the strips where the paint was applied. Interior walls feel like sand paper because the primer was sprayed on before the walls were cleaned and the paint adheres to the dust making it rough. The paint quality feels like rough chalk. Molding all through the house feels like it has sand on it and has never been sanded. The yards were sodded with dead grass and we were told it would grow back, it hasn’t. The sod was not rolled properly so the yard is rough and the grass didn’t root the way it should. There are bald spots all over. The side yards were not graded properly so they don’t drain the way they should leaving wet, boggy, muddy areas which are conducive to mosquitos. We love the area and the people that live here. At first glance the homes are pretty but when you move in you find the materials and workmanship to be lacking. ... More

I would rather not comment. If I had it to do all over again, there will be things that I would’ve done differently. It seems that I was set aside because I do not use the preferred lender or realtors on site.

We're previously owned a Lennar home in Southern California. Pride was very apparent in the quality and workmanship provided in our Southern California home. However, here in Fayetteville, Georgia we're very disappointed regarding the workmanship in the home. Every time I think about the cost of the high cost of home and the cheap paint, the sloppy unfinished sealing in the molding, the visible cracks in the corners and cracks in the crown molding; as well as the floating tiles in the floor which crackle when you step on them makes me sick to my stomach. We've purchased 5 new homes in our lifetime and never experienced such sloppy work that this home offers. The location of the home and floor plan is very attractive, however the home lacks pride and quality in the workmanship. We feel stuck with a $420,000 mess we have to fix. I can't have my family or friends over until this home meets the quality we're use to. Also we've been trying to install a screen around the back patio. We've submitted two ARC (October & November 2022) and left several messages for CMA to contact us, no return call has been received however our HOA is submitted as expected each month. ... More

Craftsmanship and finishing is poor.

I have purchased Lennar Homes in the past (Cal-Atlantic/Ryland Homes) by far this was the worst home buying experience. If it wasn't for the lot size and location, I should have gone with one of the other builders in the neighborhood (Stanley Martin or Providence Homes). The sales experience was terrible both salespeople were not on the same page and took a long time to get a response back. As far as the builder and follow up person they were great and overworked because they had a lot of building going on, but when I was able to speak with them they were able to respond to my questions. My opinion is Lennar has gotten too big and forgotten to focus on customer service and details. ... More

Very difficult to get repair work completed. We also have a common area behind our property that we were told would be cleaned up and landscaped when we closed. We have been in our home for 4 months and cannot get the area cleaned up. It is very embarrassing.

Just terrible new home owner experience. Definitely will not buy Lennar home again. This was my first time buying it and I ignored the reviews that sad bad about Lennar but now I know.

First time buying Lennar home so not aware of negotiation. Me and my neighbors bought same model house around same time but they got 50k less than , what I paid. It is more than 10% discount they got. Even other side neighbor negotiated 70k on listed price. Now I am feeling like fool to buy this house.

This has been a horrendous experience. From the loan application, closing and move-in phases have been miserable. Disclosures statement from Lennar was wrong day before closing. Closing attorneys called me "petty" when I found differences in their charges. Refused to give me keys despite differences in disclosure statement provided by Lennar and the closing attorney. The house was not finished when we moved in. We are now 6.5 months into the home and we are still having issues that are not resolved (e.g, cracks in stairs, buckled floors, unlevel floors, damaged appliances, damaged window frames, overpaint and trim damage throughout. Lennar keeps escalating but there is no accountability. Would never buy again. ... More

50+ items, including major items, wrong with the home. Issues continue. The construction manager shows no compassion and attempts to fix through hacks. I would not buy with Lennar again.

Lennar has turned into a cash-grab operation. Likely because they are now publicly traded, so they care about their shareholders, not their homeowners. Everyone in our neighborhood (Parkside Meadows) feels this way. The bright side is that it has brought us together as a community! So if you're looking to unite your neighborhood in their hatred of the builder, shop Lennar...

Would not recommend Lennar. While the signs in Tucker, Ga of say No to Lennar are for other reasons, they do explain my sentiment as well.

Exception list items pending still 7 months post closing. Sloppy repair work done by contractors.

My home wasn’t ready prior to close. They had approximately 30 items on the checklist that needed to be addressed and corrected prior to close. I already sold my other home and needed to move. I had movers lined up to do so after I closed on my Lennar home. They asked me to close even know they were not close to complete and asked me for 3 additional days to finish the items we agreed to that were on my list to close. I should of trusted my better judgment & not close until the work had been completed. I closed & ended up moving into an unfinished incomplete home. They changed builders 3 times. It took 5 months to get them to come back out to complete the items. I had blue tape on the inside and outside of my home for those 5 months calling once a week to try to get them out. I had to go through warrantee, which didn’t make sense. Their reason was because I had already closed. They broke their promises & made it really difficult to get them back in. I ended up doing a lot of things myself. The 3rd builder that was supposed to handle the checklist claimed that he knew nothing about my list & was there to build the new homes. My home wasn’t on his list. He told me that I had to take the items of concern up with warrantee. The warrantee guy was not reliable & seemed to jerk me around. Most of the neighbors felt the same way and had very similar experiences. The sales folks & builders seemed to be on a revolving door. Continuous shell game. Love my location & home since I have gotten things fixed & adressed mainly from outside contractors & work myself. Very disappointed with Lennar and them allowing their employees to represent them in this manner. Most of the items would have been common sense solutions. They just had to touch things 3 & 4 times instead of taking pride in their work to do it right the 1st time. The painters & Sheetrock guys were approximately 90% of the problem. They seemed to be Day labors. Gary K ... More

Probably the worst construction company I’ve worked with. False promises and poor construction quality. Promised us few things when signing the contract which were later modified to cheaper options / alternatives. We paid million dollars for this home and the quality and build materials are the cheapest ones on the market. Price gouging everywhere possible while not even providing bare minimum quality. False promises as well. Will never ever buy a Lennar home or recommend to any of my friends and family. You lost a customer.

Overall had been below average, ok experience on an experience, high priced home, but, could have been a lot better.

I was deceived multiple times by various Lennar teams. First the lots were incorrectly classified and assigned incorrect lot though I was 2nd person to have the scheduled appointment. They never disclosed about a drainage easement. During development process again deceived multiple times with wrong promises and the same experience continued post closure. I wish I never bought a home with Lennar.

Quality of workmanship&materials: A window was covered with sheet rock and went unnoticed until weeks after closing. Another builder acknowledged and took care of the issue. Painters were super messy, lots of paint dripping throughout the house. Did not hear from my builder. Trustworthiness: There was not a good repore with my last builder and I did not trust him. There were no apologies made for the mistake, he was not willing to suggest or recommend any product for grout; or provide model or serial numbers for appliances to be registered after taking pictures and saying they would send it to me. Value for the price paid: the increase in cost from the start of building the community to closing coupled with the interest rate was overpriced. Responsiveness to issues: From the sales representative to the last builder, not one apology took place. It felt like a cover up. The sales rep sent us the wrong closing date creating scheduling conflicts for appliances and cable. Had the one builder not corrected the window issues I don't believe my builder would have said a word. I believe he lied and said he sent the builder to fix the window. The conversation we had with the builder did not line up with that statement. This is our 5th home, the smallest, the most expensive, and the worst customer service. ... More

Horrible workmanship and communication.

Rushed construction resulting into many problems and forced closing without all the fixes.

Horrible experience with Lenner, Very cheap materials, cheap appliances cheap items installed, I am regretting buying Lenner home. Very bad experience never recommend to anyone buying Lenner homes. In any condition my home is not looking that I have paid over 530k house. Billy was good
