Lennar Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

Bad experience so far.

The refrigerator and dishwasher were faulty by design

Covid shortages seemed to affect some of the quality. Shortages on certain building items have shown up with the make-ups not fitting properly etc. They attempt to correct but product shortages continue and have hampered them.

Repairs that needed to be completed prior to the "needed" review for the sales department were priority. Details that need correction post that review certainly take a back seat. Vendors do not like accountability

Didn't know you can't store anything above the garage in Lennar homes....at least not in our area. I was told it voids the warranty. This should not be allowed. Yard work(sodding) appears to be substandard. For 230/month, the water bill should be included. Lawn maintenance seems substandard.

cheap material and appliance used in home. not quick response to issues

This is my 4th month we found around 29 issues as of now

Responsiveness: Not Lennar's fault but we have items outstanding for repair and due to the Covid-19 crisis Lennar is not doing any in-home repairs. Hopefully when this virus thing blows over the repairs needed will be completed. Lennar continues to build and sell houses so the number of repairs people will need continues to grow. Materials seem to be a good value relative to the price paid but workmanship could have been better. To Lennar's credit they repaired or committed to repair the things we could see.

My review is still incomplete at this time. The quality of the driveway is completely unacceptable and is the reason for my low rating on quality of workmanship. The driveway was poured at 26 degrees on November 13th and I believe that it froze before concrete had cured to achieve a necessary strength. Overall we had a mild fall and there numerous days the concrete could have been poured at a much warmer temperature. It has numerous cracks, chips, pock marks, smears and is very off colored. No other driveway in the neighborhood has an appearance that is even close to my driveway. I currently have a work order submitted for the driveway and am waiting to hear what the next steps are. If the driveway is replaced I would definitely change my rating as the quality for the rest of the house appears to be generally quite good. ... More

Some of the details of work and/or the final touch up of the job needs more attention. Someone needs to check the work and be sure that it is done correctly.

For the price. The workmanship should have been perfect but small things like bowed walls and trim seams not lining up.

The colors on the spec sheet are not what is actually in house. We tried to go get more paint and more mulch to match and it what we bought, per the spec sheet, is NOT what was actually used. The exterior and interior was visible dirty when we moved in to the brand new home. The toilet still doesn't work right and we had a service call out within hours of closing on the new home.

Our house was not ready at closing. However, Lennar came back to fix the issues they promised. It just took a few follow ups. Happy with the end result.

Do not buy a slab. Multiple issues with drywall, paint, caulking and brick. All resolved except plumbing/sewage lines.

Lennar offers an all inclusive package with stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. While this package is convenient, and appliances are name brand, they are at the very low end of the product line. It's important to understand this because the appliances may prove to be impractical for some home owners. First, the stove has a gas operated oven which make cooking difficult. Even the most basic meals will not cook evenly. A dual fuel stove with electric oven would be much better. The refrigerator is a side by side style. The model selected has a very small freezer. Because space is limited large/excessive grocery shopping for holiday meals is impractical. Fitting a turkey or ribs in the freezer in preparation for feast proves to be a problem with this model refrigerator/freezer. The dish washer is very basic. It's louder than the average dishwasher which makes it's use in open space living complicated. Most materials use are satisfactory however workmanship in several areas is baseline acceptable. Specifically grout work is visibly bad. While I believe Lennar tries it's best to be clear and concise, there are always things homeowners discover after purchase. Lennar will not make any concession to modify even the most basic things in inventory homes, no matter if the buyer offers to pay. Buyers should be aware that Lennar does not use conduit when installing electric and internet cables and plans for the cabling in not available. Workers may puncture those unmarked, "open lines" within the walls during construction. Buyers should be sure validate all internet cabling and electrical things are active before closing on a home. Furthermore, be sure that windows are cleaned, and inspected for proper operation and damage. Over half of the 24 windows within my home were damaged. Buyers should also make sure door locks and water facets are installed correctly, i.e. hot is not marked cold and right key turns unlock doors vs left key turns. Lennar will respond to all matters quickly. Homeowners should double check/inspect corrected work. The value of the Lennar homes are normally comparable to others. All in all it's a good buy. ...

The framers did a very poor job and set everything behind. Multiple repairs were required to move to drywall. ”Leaner” was desperate for subs and the project manager was in over his head. Good guy, but he could not meet expectations and is no longer running jobs. We love our home, but we are now waiting for warrantee repairs requested months ago. We have had an overall good experience with the home after being in it for 6 months. If you buy, watch closely as any corner than can be cut, will be.

Very poor Electric placement cheap framing and we can’t get mail got to drive 6 miles to post office. So only get mail on Saturday garage door very narrow third one useless wouldn’t recommend to someone House across street same model week after we purchased dropped price 40000

The quality of the house is very poor, especially the painting work. Although I had many things corrected later, after moving in I still found many quality issues. My friend also bought a Lennar home, but their construction team did a great job, while the team that worked on my house was terrible. In addition, the paint quality is very bad. If I had been told at the time that I could choose better paint, I definitely would have paid extra for it.

The sales experience was very professional without pressure. Dominique was patient as we took almost a year to finalize a purchase. Customer service after the sale could be improved in response time.

We do like our house but throughout the process we’ve realized we will likely never use Lennar again. The lender we used (through Lennar-Sam) was horrible to say the least and obviously only had Lennar in mind throughout the process. Our appraisal was much lower than we paid and that component was very unsettling with how it was taken care of. Sam was pretty manipulative when speaking about it. I have a mortgage background so I found many errors however when brought to Sam he assured me I was wrong when in the end—I was right and our numbers were completely off. The fees for closing in itself was enough for me to never refer Lennar to anyone. We’ve been having issues with an excessive water bill and Lennar seems to not want to help. The issues brought to Lennar have been fixed ONLY if Lennar is not out any money. All in all, I wouldn’t do this again. ... More

I’m so disappointed with the workmanship and quality of materials used to build my home. There are so many obvious mistakes that were made and I still have issues that have not been resolved. The quality of the flooring, cabinets and countertops are horrible which will need to be replaced in a couple years. I would recommend a tape measure and level to be added to their toolbox.

Sales team is great. Project management team are nice people but allowed poor craftsmanship from some of the subcontractors. Several framing issues, including multiple small and large holes in the sheathing, sheathing that was not flush, missing king studs, bowed wall studs, etc. Trim carpentry is poor, including horrible joints in baseboards and crown molding, door gaps that are uneven, interior doors that were cut down crooked, etc. The stackable washer/dryer in the Next Gen suite was not installed properly (i.e. discharge hose was not installed into drain leading to water discharge all over the floor). Crack in the garage floor opened up two days after it was poured (no wire mesh or fiberglass fibers are use in the concrete). Sill seal was not properly installed in the garage. Bathroom wall light fixtures were installed too low (caught during celebration walk) and had to be raised prior to closing. Drywall repair in second bathroom completed poorly after light fixture was raised. The greatest error, however, is the fact the HVAC team did not install the separate zoned system in the Next Gen suite that we paid for. This will be corrected (hopefully) at some time in the future when the weather warms but this creates an incredible inconvenience and the potential for other damage caused then the HVAC contractor corrects this problem. ...

We've had an ongoing HVAC issue that has yet to be resolved, we keep getting the standard corporate run around. If you can't engineer a product right don't advertise it as such!

1) Initially we booked lot but they changed it to another plot saying layout issue. they didnt give us option. literally forced us to take a the home which we didnt want. 2) no modification request was accepted

Interaction with pre-sale representative was great. The experience went down hill from there. The house was not ready for inspection. Kitchen cabinet doors missing, range hood not installed, scratches on refrigerator. Window screen on the front porch was missing. Lawn care had been neglected and the entire yard was in horrible condition. A third party inspector identified and documented these issues along with others. Informed that it would all the issues would be resolved by the second walk through. Not all items were completed prior to closing and unfortunately, issues now have to be filed on-line. It is a hit or miss what and when will be addressed by Lennar. The responsibility for issues seems to to be passed from one person/dept. to another. It appears that customer satisfaction is not a part of the criteria. ... More
