Lennar Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

The process started well. At the time of closing, the quality of the home "appeared" to be what we expected. We put a great deal of trust in the builder on delivering a house that was as advertised and a high quality of work. But within the first several days and weeks it became apparent there were a number of "quality" related issues that went beyond aesthetics and were fundamentally wrong. Issues ranging from faulty appliances to poorly designed/engineered duct work to improper placement of fire/smoke alarms. It has been over five months of taking two steps forward and two steps back working with Lennar and various service providers to try to correct the issues, but still to this day we have NO resolution on ANY of the original issues. At this point, we feel like we were sold a bill of goods and no one wants to take ownership or responsibility and correct the issues that should have never been issues to begin with. We have lost confidence in Lennar as a builder and would have a hard time recommending anyone using them unless you had no other choice. Like you see all too often, they talk the talk until the day of closing, and then no one has the time to do the right thing. ... More

follow-up on outstanding issues has been horrible

I love the floor plan for my home but the customer service after I moved into my home has been horrendous!! I've not seen nor heard from the person who walked me through my home since he asked for a five star rating while delivering 1 star service. They've not followed up to get all the items from the original list nor address the ones I've added since the move. The quality of the flooring and cabinets is not worth the money charged! Most of the workmanship and material are decent quality but not to the standards expected at this price point. The most offensive actions is the decision to change the size and value of the homes in the community. This decision has a great impact on my investment and the overall look of the community. I would not have purchased my home in this neighborhood had I known that this switch was coming. ... More

While the people that work at Lennar have been nice and ok to work with, the quality of the home simply is not there -- especially for the price. This is hands down the lowest quality home we have ever lived in despite it being the most expensive we have ever purchased. If there was a cheaper material to be purchased or a corner that could be cut, Lennar took it. Sadly we are not happy in our brand new home and do not recommend purchasing from Lennar.

Overall, the building experience was very unprofessional and done with poor quality. There were several damages on the bathtub, refrigerator, dirt that was not cleaned, almost all kitchen cabinet doors were damaged and poorly repainted. There had to be constant pressure on them for it to be done correctly. Poor craftsmanship was present. They pushed that they be paid even when the unit was not ready.

Got two issues with in 2 months. One of those issues fix is not satisfactory.

If I can’t give last names then this survey is a waste of your time and mine

Slow to no follow up to correct or repair issues Very poor instruction on appliances,thermostat,irrigation system,ring alarm system Most items are not high end and workmanship is below par

they make what they call and exceptions list. this to be fixed right away 1/2 the items are not on the list. non-responsive to fix anything. the worst builder we have felt with and had 6/7 new homes built . our building supervisor is terrible and non truthful. 0n a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the best lerrar is a 2

The overall experience was far from a positive one. Our front door was hung backwards. SEVERAL doors were not level and wouldn't close correctly / lock. The electrician they selected to do our home was HORRIBLE. He made too many mistakes. SEVERAL light switches were installed in the wrong places. Smoke detectors and light fixtures falling from the walls / ceilings. DOZENS of nail pops on day of move-in, yet we were told to wait for more to pop-up before having them repaired. Roof installed incorrectly. Bath drain not sealed resulted in water leaking through the ceiling. Wrong shower installed and refused to correct it. Outside window frame busted upon move-in. Drywalled over the attic access. Busted cabinets found during move-in. Cracks / holes in walls. There were so many things wrong during our pre-closing walkthrough. It seemed as though they rushed to the finish line and the GC didn't oversee the project well enough. Perhaps too many homes being built all at once? We spent our first three months in our home dealing with "warranty repairs" and still had to do a great deal of work ourselves to fix what was done wrong. We're putting a lot of work into making this the home we should've received as a new build. The term "turn key ready" does not describe Lennar. ... More

The person who sold us the home told us many false things to make the sale. There are a lot of things that were changed out during the process to a lower quality. However, our house price did not change. The quality is awful and we have had to spend the first 60 days reaching out to Airtron, GE, Lennar, etc. to get things fixed. Not very enjoyable when you’re trying to move into a house and unpack boxes. The sad thing is we have plenty more, that will be done at the 12 month mark. This is the third house that we have built and has been by far our worst experience.

Beautiful homes with terrible finishes! There is no attention to detail. The skill level of the workers working on these homes is not great, to say the least. The drywall, paint and trimwork are the worst finishes. Lennar should have a better oversight of their contractors/subcontractors/sub-subcontractors. I hope this helps a potential buyer decide.

What would I like other homebuyers to know about our experience... remove any emotion for the initial decision-making process and talk to the people that currently live in the development that you are looking at. If we would have done that, we probably would not have purchased the house that we did. Multiple people in our community have experienced or are experiencing what we are going through with the lack of workmanship, pride in their product, and responsiveness to issues. This was evident with the lack of communication and responsiveness through the building process, not having corrected any of the issues identified before closing, and lack of follow up after submitting repair tickets. ...

Dishwasher that won’t wash dishes, microwave already bad, handles come off refrigerator. On and on and on. Wow.

I am in awe of the materials I used. they are not of good quality for the price of the house. response time is not good. Every day new details come out and it is a new house.

Overall exterior and interior trim work was extremely poor massive amounts of caulk used to close poor craftsmanship / millwork. MI windows are falling a part - they will all need to be replaced within 12/15 years.

Our sales rep she was amazing. She did everything that she could do to help us and she was there no matter what time or day we emailed or called her. Now closing was the worst experience ever I had never built with people who were so rude and had no hearts and just wasn’t worth our time if we didn’t have so much time invested and money spent I wouldn’t have went through but the people in your closing office are very rude and inconsiderate, and I will wish to never deal with them again But overall, my experience with our club with our sales person she was amazing. She did her job very well but the people at your closing greet you and they are supposed to make this experience wonderful and it’s supposed to be a happy experience at that table, they made it very miserable , and sad to say you guys to build houses for other people, but I would not refer them to use you guys to close on their home ...

Sales person was terrible with unprofessional attitude and manner No update about the progress, never heard back from him the moment we paid the deposit.

Lennar has absolutely no control, whatsoever, over their subs who eat food and leave food scraps on the floor, ketchup on the new woodwork, and the paint sub dragged their muddy boots all over the brand new carpet at the most critical time just days before closing. Lennar, however, would not do a complete carpet replacement, even though those same boots made God only knows how many trips across the street to the disgusting disease-ridden port-a-let. The finish workmanship was the worst I have ever seen in 40 years of purchasing new homes. The finish workers (literally) nailed trim boards all over the house with chunks of dirt and mud on them, which no doubt got painted over by the paint sub. Unbelievably disappointing!!! My very first beginner home with Arbor all those years ago was better built and at least had subs who respected my new home. The region construction manager, Adam, was the only positive or bright spot, and he was very good to work with and did his best to try to make things right, otherwise my scores would be a “1” across the board (some “0” if that was a possible score). In the end, profit and dollars prevailed for Lennar and Adam was handcuffed with what he could offer to remedy the situation. ... More

I’m not happy with lennar’s policies. First they show me different color when house get ready then it’s color was totally different which I doesn’t like. Their designs I doesn’t like. Inside of the house is also very basic. And house construction material is very cheap. And my real estate agent is super rude, very unprofessional and very short tempered. I definitely will NOT RECOMMEND my real estate agent to anyone. Lennar people making fool to their clients specially first home buyers. Overall next time I will pay 5k-7k or 10k give extra but will choose good company, which making houses with good quality material and inside and out side good design and I will choose that company which not do fraud with client and not make fool to people first show different color and on final touch gave different color. And ONCE AGAINT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY REAL ESTATE AGENT. ... More

poor management and customer care

Quality of work and materials are poor, having issues with drafts coming thru outlets and told we just have to deal with it.

We moved here hoping we will have a great experience but having bad experience as of now. We are facing major issues in Owner's suite room. Though it was repaired couple of times again we are facing same issue again and again which is very bad and worst experience. They installed cracked bath tub and they repaiered it. First place they shouldn't have installed damaged item. Very bad construction and management have to take care of these things during construction phase itself instead of troubling us.

Our homebuying journey started in January 2022 with Lennar. With the market going crazy and labor/product shortages, Lennar suspended new sales of lots. The floor plan was what we fell in love with...and after being on the top of waitlist for 4 months, they raised the price 30k and rates rose from 3 to 6%... yet decided to sign and move forward. My wife and I got to choose everything we wanted in our home and were very excited. 2 weeks after signing, we found out we were pregnant after trying for about a year! Foundation was poured, and we have our initial building consultation where we were quoted 1 inch of fall for every 10 ft per the Construction Manager. Unfortunately, that 1 inch per 10 feet became closer to 10 -12 inches per 10 ft as the home progressed. For investment purposes and my families enjoyment of the yard, we decided the lot was not something we could live with. I was not about to spend $570,000 on an almost unusable backyard due to sloping. My wife and I decided to shift to another house already being built that also was scheduled to be completed prior to the birth of our first child. Our inspector found numerous items throughout the building process which coincided with a very dry fall. During the last 3 weeks of construction, the community warranty representative was on leave, the construction manager got COVID and the main carpenter parted ways with Lennar. This left quite a few items on the home finished poorly with few workers to repair in a timely fashion as our closing was between Christmas and New Years. One such item was a broken window that was supposedly ordered prior to closing....only to find out that the construction manager was not true to his word and we now had to submit a warranty claim. If you are looking for fast acting response times from a builder, Lennar is not that builder. It took 67 days to have a broken window pane repaired after reaching out to the company on 7 separate occasions, ultimately including a call to the Indianapolis Division President. We've had shingles blow off and have to be repaired 3 times, foundation leaking via cracks by both basement egress windows, a gas leak at our oven, siding VIOLENTLY rattling at multiple points throughout the home, concrete with negative sloping towards the home at the garage threshold and at front porch, bricks left in the kiln took long and installed on the home with large cracks (dozens), crooked kitchen cabinets and handles, a very crooked stair railing, and about 20 other smaller items. My favorite, though, has to be the 7 leaking windows. We are now 107 days post-closing and they still leak every time it rains. Recently, my wife and I came downstairs to a pool of water on our dining room floor. 107 days is almost a 3rd of the 1 year warranty, which Lennar has expressed they will not extend despite the unreasonable timeframe to repair this water intrusion...not to mention this major slipping hazard for my wife and baby girl. Being a real estate agent, the silver lining is that this horrendous experience has happened to me and not a client I am representing. I couldn't imagine the negative social media publicity I would get from someone complaining about this kind of outrageous experience. I will definitely be thinking twice when consulting a client who is interested in a Lennar home in the future. The only reason the responsiveness is not a 1 star is because of Wayne. The community warranty manager that came back from medical leave to clean up someone else's mess. This guy was behind the eight ball and has been nothing put polite and responsive to my wife and I. Unfortunately, not all Lennar employees are Wayne and he alone couldn't make up for the others' mistakes/communcation. ... More

I have been disappointed in the workmanship in my home as you can see I have not rated you, very highiy
