Lennar Reviews

After my experience, I would never buy or recommend anyone buy a Lennar product. From a distance it looks great, but when you actually look closely, the workmanship is horrible. In the 4 months of living in my new construction home I've had a flood, ceiling leaks, and a loss of hot water due to a gas regulator issue. While most of these issues have been fixed, it was a battle and shouldn't happen to begin with in a new construction home.

Lack of communication throughout the home building process from the Construction Manager and Salesperson. Many things missed or shortcuts taken that I had to ask to go back and address. Flooring options are subpar, as we have already had to replace the cheap engineered hardwoods they use. I will think twice in the future prior to using Lennar.

Sales guy who originally sold us the home- fantastic! Everything else from there- terrible. Lennar lending is terrible I would not recommend them to my pets! Lots of shady backdoor stuff going on with them. The build of the house is ok, lots of little things they don't do which are basic things in my opinion- sealing granite and floors, just to name a few. Once home is purchased and need ur repairs done- ha! Good luck with that. Our building manager was NEVER anywhere to be found. Took 3 months to complete punch list... which by the way was supposed to be done BEFORE closing. If I had to do it over again I wouldn't look into a Lennar sorry. ... More

I would never recommend a Lennar home. We had to buy from them because we wanted to be in the neighborhood where they were the only builder. Within one week of closing, shingles were blowing off the roof and within 3 weeks we were catching buckets of water from the leaks in the roof/ bathroom vents. I could go on for a long time but hopefully you get the idea. They are responsive to issues because thats how they manage their business, by never doing things right the first time.

I quite disappointed in what I'm learning about the vacation home part of the community. Very noisy, crime, etc.

It is clear that the point was to complete our house as soon as possible and cut corners. We were given the run around on everything and all involved Lennar employees were more interested in other things than helping us. It takes forever for things under warranty to get replaced and have someone come out to do so. Th Customer Warranty Rep said multiple times "thats all you can do" on things link the staining of the railing, the crappy wood used for our front step, and pretty much everything else. Also, the contractors they used are not very good and they do not care and stonewall to avoid fixing things. ... More

See above review regarding punch list and warranties.

Not bad for price

get a closing date included in contract if possible and penalties if possible. These people should be more responsive to people spending their money. No reason for these major delays that cost me in excess of $5000 . for temp housing. Im sure that this survay will go no where, and nothing done for me or the next person,

That their buying/building process excludes updates and input from the buyer. Other similar developer/builders in the area DEEPLY INVOLVE the buyer...to make the new home experience a joy....NOT what we stepped into

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

I have had nothing but problems since buying. There have been numerous issues with warranty work that is very unreliable. Upon move in we were told the house would be cleaned. Not o LT were there con webs in the corners but there is still paint on the floors that I, myself, am cleaning over time. There has not been a time that warranty work has been scheduled and kept. They are always late or don’t show at all. I would not recommend anyone to buy from Lennar as it stands now. I know that I myself would hate to go through this experience again.

Poor materials used and sloppy craftsmanship.

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

If I didn't have an amazing Realtor this would have been an even worse experience. My best advice is really do your research on materials because the options they provide (carpet,tile etc)never look the same once installed. I will be having many things replaced (windows and doors) some things were just thrown together in the build. Better communication with their lender would also improve the process

The houses are nice, but the materials used are low quality.

Trying to get a closing date was a nightmare and all amenities which we are paying thousands for are not be completed for more than a year later. People have been in here 2 years and receiving nothing but paying high HOA and taxes.

Monitor the work throughout the process. Many of the trades do subpar work and the construction manager failed to do to his job. If you can be here everyday to check on the progress than you might be ok. If you're forced to rely on the construction manager...well good luck.

There have been several Recent issues/defects, each of which are covered under Warranty. These defects Have Not been addressed and Homeowners are being told there is NO ETA. I may have to hire someone for a temporary fix, which is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Lennar is behaving in a very Unprofessional manner. I'm Disappointed.

Once the deal is signed - all promised support disappears.

Quality issue - Construction & Landscaping, Paint, Wooden, Garage & appliances not up to the mark Completely disappointed in quality of material used in construction work. Landscaping not done in good way. Wooden work , Door Locks , Garage door & Paint issue -(Not up to mark) Appliances - Gas Stove & Microwave In house materials not properly fitted - Racks,Towel & Paper hanger

I the space and the layout of the house. I hate the quality of the workmanship, from the paint work to the interior door (all of them rattle), and the loose downspouts that drive me crazy at night time, the creaking floor and falling recess lights those are few examples of the list of disappointment. We did have a good experience with our sells person.

For a first time buyer I was so excited on buying my first house and spend time with family and friends. But now that the time passes by I get to notice a lot of stuff that isn’t right and that the contractors and builders let it slide under the rug so they could sell, sell and sell ,not focusing on quality and safety of the people that it’s planning to stay in the new house for the rest of their lives. Per example crooked wall in the kitchen and door of living room swings by itself because of that. Roof trusses, 2x4’s cheap and a lot of pieces look like a dog chewed on them and they installed them like that anyway.(Are they supposed to be 2x6’s anyway ?!) I just really hope that my house is going to last and not a regular wind or something simple is going to take the roof down and crush us ..! After 3 attempts of telling Robert, about my back yard and my neighbor telling to him about water holding between our houses, no one hasn’t come by and see or say anything about putting dirt or a French drain . Which that what we need instead of a eye balled trench. Well I hope someone read this and reply or get back with me with a solution at least with my water issue . Thank you ... More

follow-up on outstanding issues has been horrible

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