Lennar Reviews in Boise, ID

Purchasing our new Lennar home went smooth and the communication between Nate@Idahorooted.com and the Lennar sales representative was fantastic. Cristina (our Lennar Home rep.) has also been great when following up on a couple punch list items.

We started three years ago to find a new home to retire in, in the state of Idaho. We saw the hand of the Lord move in finally bring us to the Lennar development known as Mandalay Ranch, in Caldwell, ID. After searching for the time that we have and picking out the features and design of the home we wanted, the home Lennar offered provided 90% of all we wanted in the asking price. We did not have the experience of choosing features of the home and would have preferred a different layout in the master bathroom, but that is the 10% that was not our preference. But having worked with many home developers over the past 3 years we were glad to work with Lenar who built a beautiful home at a price that fit our budget and provided so much of what we wanted. We needed a lot to build an RV pad and the unique lot the house set on was perfect for this. We have made a substantial investment, in getting the backyard in place. The only think I would encourage Lennar to consider is the put gutters on the entire house. A couple of thousand dollars more would bring to your customer the ability to say they took care of it all. Love out new home and neighborhood. Have been in it for 60 days and it is working out just fine. ... More

Lennar was extremely responsive and made the first time home buying process so easy.

Very professional and caring. Always ready to assist and fix any problem in an expeditious manner. Excellent people skills while continually reaching out to resolve problems that may occur. Definitely five-stars earned!

I had the easiest process ever purchasing 2 homes with Lennar. Kassandra, who was our main point of contact, was extremely kind and responsive (even on her days off). I truly have no complaints or even any suggestions on how they can improve. It was almost too easy.

We looked at many builder homes and I can tell you Lennar was the nest for quality and money. what you normally pay for upgrades with other builders was standard with Lennar and that was a huge selling feature for us. The quality of their builds far exceeded any of the other "local: builders. Layout, materials, size ..everything was better. The service from start to finish was fantastic and unparalleled. Highly recommend. I had heard of Lennar before in other states and when I saw them herein Idaho I was thrilled, they were a game changer for me. I got a better built home with better upgrades at a fantastic price. ... More

Caren is very responsive, professional and delight to work with.

Nice home for a good price.

Disappointed in the attention to detail. Glue on back patio not cleaned. Nail pops on back of house. Weeds in yard front and back a foot tall Lawn 6” high with crab grass. Flooding against house. All pointed out at final walk. None addressed

Lots of unfinsh work they didn't clean the house screen door pulls hard the none shower tub has a shower spicit could of been better.

Decent value for the money . Read your contract you don't get all what you see in there show houses. Lucky I'm not a lawyer there would probably be a class action suit.

The home buying process was fine. We closed and moved in after final repairs were made. Mostly just little thing, dents in drywall, vents not painted etc. I had only had the house for two weeks when I noticed a water leak in the downstairs half bath. Water damage on the drywall and baseboards that was coming from inside the wall. Contacted Lennar and the plumber was out the following Tuesday. From there it has been almost a month of back and forth and my bathroom STILL isnt fixed. My contact with Lennar went radio silent, the scheduled contractors we had never showed up, or showed up on the wrong day. The plumber plumed my stuff backwards and put hot water to the toilet, so my drywall had to be cut back out to fix it. I am truly at my wits end. The house is fine, for the most part. A lot of it is just cut rate carpentry work. No garage door opener for the 3rd bay, no gutters on the house, bad concrete work. BUT you dont know these things until you buy it and live in it. ...

It hasn't been the best experience after I closed. A lot of issues I was told would be fixed but they didn't do anything about it. My first two customer service reps didn't do anything and now i'm on my 4th and stuff is finally getting done. I probably would not recommend a Lennar home to friends or family based off of this experience.

I'm moving and thinking the brand new house will be nice but it's a kind of male night we can expressing out the ceiling is cracked my wall of the bathrooms they cut it open to fix the leaking and they still not coming to fix the drywall and the doors lighting door frame has been cracked they told us to come and going to fix it and then come to fix it in the bathroom is missing the GF I supposed to be going each bathrooms is not been there in the showers was a little need touch up and they never come to do yet and then the floor they cut out of the vent and they say they was going to come in we cut it and put a new piece in there and they still not been here lot of people come here just to look at it and leave put oil and leave it but they never fix anything the only thing they did is the paint but they still didn't completed do it everything we have to paint it ourselves in in the stairs case handrails they told us they're going to be here in 2 weeks and you're still not here and then lastly we talk with somebody else they say oh we don't know I think they should be but still will should be there but not so that's where I put in my two stars for this Learners when they sellers the sellers people are great but after you move it in it's a midnight they don't come too complete the cabinet door was not closing really good they say they're going to come and fix it a Carpenters cabinet guys coming to say no that's from the factory we can do it nothing they look at it and left that's my story from buying a new phone from Lennar ...

Over valued. Had a list of work that was intended to be completed before closing and was never finished. Poor joints in the trim. Home wasn’t clean when we moved in. Exterior and interior paint not finished. Leaking plumbing. Wiring issues with garage doors. HVAC issues. Doors not hung properly. Loose exterior stone.

We love David, our CM, and Caren was great! The purchase and loan process went smoothly for the most part, but when the house was being completed and after we have moved in, we have been very disappointed in the quality as well as the team that filled in for David when he was sick. John (I believe his name was) was very dismissive of actual issues, didn’t actually tag the house prior to close, and said things that were frankly untrue about home building, and missed the most basic things, like leaving filthy filters in the home at close. I hate to be this person, but as someone who has built a lot of homes, and been in construction for several years, it has been disappointed to be BS’ed on several occasions. Because of this, I couldn’t recommend Lennar to anyone else. ... More

-Buying process was painful and the price on the contract didn’t match the verbal price we were told. -Early on during a scheduled visit, I noticed the wrong bathtub and shower was installed. It took a month of nagging to get someone to confirm that the wrong shower was installed. This ended up causing a 3 month, last minute delay of our home being built. -the sheathing on my roof has about a 5 inch gap on it. I assumed a vented roof cap was going to be installed. That is not the case and I have a 5 inch gap just covered by shingles. Lennar claims it’s per manufacturer standards, but I’m pretty sure that’s against local code. -Lennar was very strict that my 3rd party inspection was “structural only” and needed to be 1 week prior to the initial walk through. Well my dishwasher wasn’t installed yet so it didn’t get tested. The day I move in, I open my door to a flooded floor. It’s been 6 weeks since I have moved in and the repairs are still not done. The fact that the dishwasher wasn’t tested after installation is ridiculous. -My backyard is filled with soccer ball size rocks and easily 50 cigarette butts, I have been promised a final grade for about 6 weeks now. -my front yard was covered in construction debris and cigarette butts. This is simply unprofessional and unacceptable. Ultimately I cleaned this up myself. -the tac strip is poking out of the carpet nearly everywhere, my kids have hurt themselves on this multiple times. -the concrete on my back patio has a crack in it, I noted it on my initial inspection but nothing has been done about it - My drive way has a massive red chalk stain, power washing was unsuccessful, and it appears Lennar has given up on fixing it -the landscaping in the front is a joke. No landscape paper under the half inch of mulch that was placed. My drip system for the front is on the same valve/zone as the main rotary heads. -to be fair, it seems that Lennar has good intentions, It is just apparent that they don’t have control of their subs and are clearly disorganized. -The warranty team has been decent to work with, but the disconnect between warranty and construction team is apparent. -Ultimately working with Lennar has been a nightmare and I currently would not recommend them as a builder. The floor plans and locations are great, but the whole process has been terrible ... More

The details of our home were constantly overlooked, and issues we tried to bring attention to were consistently dismissed before they would eventually be addressed.

The people we worked with have been great, the process of getting into the house was smooth. Then we moved in and discovered very poor workmanship throughout myriad details in the house, details that will ultimately cost us a lot of money and time to fix and/ or affect our resale value down the line. We had a few things addressed in the beginning and then have been ignored. Our neighbors have communicated similar issues. You cannot spend what we did and then be given a house like this with poor customer service. This is not tolerable. Lennar, either do it right the first time, or do it again until it's done right. ... More

Lennar has cut costs on so many fronts, as cheap as failing to give garage door opener keypad. Windows Sil, cap/trim for half wall, opener for third car garage, window in the stair area, cover for patio, retaining wall for slopy backyard, soft close for the kitchen cabinet doors & drawers are all missing. The quality of workmanship & materials is very poor. Response to issues takes months!

Buying from Lennar was like being bullied into a deal. When we bought the house they shortcut a lot of things. The sub contractors were not caring at all about their craft. Lennar forced us to stick to the contract even though they were weeks behind on their work. The final walkthrough was scheduled after the closing date. They refused to budge on adjusting time frames and owning up to the work that needed to get done. By the time final walkthrough happened. They needed to touch up all the baseboards in the house and repaint/repair a lot of areas. Lennar also refused to follow specs. Not giving us closets and grass with sprinklers as promised. Throwing $5 bag of mulch down and calling it done. We have constant leaks and flooding in the garage because the house was built wrong. Customer service promise to resolve issues but schedule weeks out. I will look into legal actions but buyer beware!!! ... More

It’s been 2 months and there’s no scheduled time for my touch up painting to be done and they are now no longer working with the painter they used and don’t have a new one

As a former licensed realtor and third time homeowner, this is by far the most awful home buying experience I’ve ever not only personally experienced but seen in the industry. Lennar is not well established in Idaho and is unable to find decent contractors to build their homes. While these homes have nice layouts and they buy decent materials to put in the homes, they are built horribly. Our home’s floor was never leveled and there are large gaps between the floors and baseboards and our floors bubble in places and our back sliding door is difficult to close because it’s uneven. The siding on the outside wasn’t installed correctly and has been buckling and cracking since we moved in a month ago. The HVAC system also wasn’t done correctly and the return air vent sounds like a jet engine when the AC kicks on- we can’t even have a conversation in the living room when it’s on. Our neighbors are all experiencing similar issues and nobody at Lennar is taking action to fix these structural problems that are causing safety hazards in our homes. Their warranty team seems highly unorganized and is having trouble keeping track of service tickets- everyone claims they are new and not sure what to do. We bought a Lennar home because we wanted a more unique home layout and nicer quality than CBH and love the location, but if we had known this is what we were getting into we would have stayed far away. Please learn from our mistake and run. ... More
