Lennar Reviews in Minneapolis St. Paul, MN

The quality is not there as promised. At final walk through they are reluctant to fix issues and have excuses for everything. Others in our neighborhood are experiencing the same problems and disappointment.

It's been 4 months since we moved in, from multiple dishwasher leak to replacing floor in the kitchen, we've had multiple issues with the quality of construction. Especially the dry wall, sheet rock issues. Many corners are crooked & had to redo them. All the air vents had huge bulges which required cutting the dry wall & repairing them. It's been 4 months & the repairs continue & note that, all these were part of addendum during closing. Lack of communication & trust since the time we signed the PA. We were promised a full lot for $44700 lot premium, half of our lot is now covered in water. When we raised this issue during drywall meeting & closure, we were told nothing can be done. We have an written email stating our lot is full size justifying the lot premium & there's no pond water in our lot. However, that's not the case. We've escalated this issue 3 months ago, yet to hear back on this from Lennar. We decided to buy Lennar as many of our friends suggested the quality is good, however in the last year or so, the quality is going south is something we often hear in our community. We've paid $0.62M for a sub-standard quality & all the pains our family had to go through with no dishwasher for 3 months & no kitchen flooring for a month & yet we continue to wait to hear from Lennar on how they are going to compensate for this pain & make things right for us. Out of curiosity we've seen few other houses in our community, which is same model (including model house) which has lot better finish. We've had no construction manager monitoring the build due to attrition & seem like we are the only one in the community who's faced all these issues. I would request & great appreciate if Lennar can take this seriously & help rectify these going forward. Our celebration of closing on a house is far from being a celebration, rather a series of repair & pain in providing for my family with 2 young children. ... More

This home could have been beautiful. The layout, color scheme, location were all ideal. We have had nothing but trouble since we purchased. Water leaks, appliances that don’t work, landscaping is awful, poor workmanship throughout . Obvious that quality is not a top priority, but mass production is. My dream home has been a nightmare.

Very poor quality of work has been done on house

The responsiveness of repairing the front porch cement patio is still pending. It is the first thing people see when visiting. The pointing fingers and blaming us for not putting this on the initial list of things to repair is outrageous.

Make sure you get everything fixed before you buy and sign that dotted line. also, give it all a really good look and get your own professional to review your house. quality of certain materials like doors very cheap and can hear everything from room to room in through the wall, and every foot step in house.

My sales person was awful. Always on us for a signature, however, when I needed anything, the responses were few and far between.

I’ve been in construction 12 years never seen such poor workmanship and we moved in with promises of our driveway and being done by July 9th and still waiting on irrigation and sod its almost august

Not a good experience. Once they sold their home. They dont care about your issues. Built wrong foundation. Many many delays in completion.

12 items were promised to be done by closing date and we have been in house for over 3 months still about 6 things left to take care of. We were a priority until we actually bought.

Not at all whatsoever what we seen on the model home, I invite you to come and see the deference between the two….

Poor quality. Some of the cabinet doors didn't install properly, floors make a squeaky noise.

Very poor quality products and sloppy workmanship. I have a long list of complaints.

The people were great to work with. The actual house had many problems. Too many to list. Took months to actually have everything working properly! The contractors aren't worried about quality. They try to get everything done asap.

The purchase agreement process was the simple part in the buying process. After that everything was stressful. The home sales consultant was horrible to work with. Our home celebration walkthrough was not a celebration. Unfortunately our home was not ready to close. There was lack of quality work and the home was nothing compared to a model home. It has been 3.5 months since closing and some of the outstanding work is finally complete. The project manager is unresponsive and there is lack of communication between the sub companies and Lennar. We have also spot painted the house more than 3 time since closing because the quality of paint is awful. No one can touch the walls because that will cause marks. We will not consider Lennar new build ever again. ... More

We just purchased and moved in the end of November. We had things that we were told that they would come back right away to fix or finish and that still hasn't happened. For what we paid for the house, you would think that we would get better customer service and timely repairs. The fact that we were promised grass before we moved in and it didn't happen, very unfortunate. Everyone that I have spoken with has said they can't believe that gutters aren't a part of the home building package, which again is just sad. We are happy to be in our house but just wish that the things would just get done. ... More

We had so-called celebration two weeks before closing, we found about 10 items that needed to be addressed. Nothing were done during that two weeks. Day before closing they promised these were going to be fixed right away. Had to leave the house for one week for ceiling repair. Have to leave the house another two days for all the damages that have done to the floor. Part of the garage door needed to be redone which will be in couple weeks. No accountability to what they do. Workmanship is so bad, I thought project manager job is to supervising the project. After two months, our trash can still don't have handle, no gutter to the house, hopefully will be installed before cold weather. Widow sizes are diffrent but they use same size blind which is short on one window, I can add many small items which I am not going to. I was so excited about my house that I convinced my daughter to buy a house in my neighborhood. Her house will be ready on November and I am so stressed out about it. Most of the item go be done with a little supervising. Now Lennard has to spend more money to fix these and also buyers get lots of unwanted stress. ... More

I have toured numerous Lennar model homes in the past and decided to purchase a new construction home with them. I signed the contract in 2021 and they unfortunately transitioned to an inventory system where you have no choice in a lot of the main features. This includes the front elevation type and color scheme. This applies to a lot of the other options as well. During the celebration and the early days after moving in, we noticed a lot of quality issues. Almost all of the door handles, some of the light switch plates, some of the floor vents were crooked. The installers did not even use a level. One side of the fireplace had the stones stacked in glaringly crooked manner. One of the front porch pillars had a large dent the size of a grapefruit. The garage door frames have a lot of dings and scratches. An electrical outlet was not working in the basement bathroom. The electrician admitted to an error in wiring which was not noticed during installation. The central vertical wooden corbel in the front of the house has a large crack. I don't know why it was installed in this condition. When we moved in, I was given the wrong garage door code. The garage itself was dusty and had dried grass and debris along the sides. There was not sod yet and it took a month for Lennar to clear the front yard area of construction debris and trash. It is unfortunate that when it was my turn to buy a Lennar home, I did not get the quality I expected. I was told the exterior issues will be addressed when the weather gets warmer. I hope Lennar follows through and redeems itself. If not, then I will not be surprised. ... More

Look it is very cleaver to do a walk through and have us sign that we did so that way your not responsible for things missed. and then the workmanship on what was done was vey poor. the paint that was used holds stains almost instantly. and boy if you don't give some a perfect ten they turn on you like your the problem. We paid 415000.00 and it was our first new house and expected much better. they said someone would be in contact with us about all the modern Tech in the house so now our ring system does not work had to disconnect the alarm system because it would go off in the middle of the night and we have heard from no one and have no Idea who to talk to at one point we where told to call Amazon WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN. And to top it all off the water pressure sucks but don't you worry I expect you to sit there in silence like you did from the last survey I filled out. If we would have built from the ground up maybe things would be different but we bought a model home so you don't get the same treatment. ... More

The house showed very well but follow through is so poor. Once we moved in and issues arose their team put us in the back burner. The construction manager has very little resources and escrow items needed take forever. Get as many issues as possible squared away before you buy and give them your money

I put in a service call for the countertops to be fixed and the first company agreed that the countertops were cracked then the lennar construction manager came and said that he would take a look at it and see what lennar wanted to do about it. I later received a letter to sign that they address the issue and that the countertop was not cracked. You can see it crystal clear that is not a natural crack. I am very upset about this problem and I don't know if I will ever buy another home with the lennar. Or recommend to anyone unless this issue is resolved. In addition one part of the living room hallway is hollow and makes noice every time we walk through it and two doors don't shut well. My suite bathroom door. And my sons room door. ... More

This is our second Lennar home and all I can say is I will never do this again. Home buyers - If you can, please look for other trustworthy builder.

We have had a very poor experience with buying our new home. On our final walk through we still had significant issues with crooked walls, terrible paint/mud/taping. We walked through the house with the teams multiple times pointing out the issues, and they were attempted to be fixed multiple times but still the same bad quality. Finally the crews were changed but we still had to take matters into our own hands and attempt to repair problematic areas ourselves. This resulted in finding slanted framing and exposed electrical. To say that this was a terrible experience is an understatement. We have been waiting 8 weeks to move in after our close date. We hope to move in soon but just found some more issues. At least the ceilings match now and hopefully the paint colors on the walls match and they replaced our garbage disposal after they used our kitchen sink for cleaning their supplies. We will see what happens. Long story short: Would not recommend. Also, This system wouldn’t allow me to put zero stars for quality. ... More

Cheap materials, rushes craftsmanship, last minute downgraded materials with no money refunded, cracks in multiple seems in corners, squeaky floors prior to move in, cracked windows, sprinkle lines installed on neighbors property, sink hole in back yard due to graders "forgetting" hay bell. List goes on and on ask anyone on the FB group made just for this issues.

Some areas of the house had poor quality
