Lennar Reviews

Superintendent was amazing throughout the process, always responding to any issues we had during construction and post closing. The biggest issue we've had was as of just this week when I discovered 4-5 pieces of 4" long siding buried on the side of my yard along with a 5-7 10lb boulders in my backyard. I was curious why my grass wasn't growing so I started to dig and found those issues (siding crew didnt clean up, grating company did not notice the siding nor take the time to clear any rocks). Overall, a good experience but wish the yard detail would have met my expectations.

I a sense se are happy with our new home. The only issue we had is after you move and how responsive are the knolowgist. We have a lot of issues that still have not been taken care. For example our shower base in the bathroom we have on the master room came defective. A new shower base was put on but till this time have pass more than three weeks and we still not able to use it. The drywall and ceramic tile have not been installed yet. Our double blind was replace but the blind used was defective.

Disappointed in a few areas that you shouldn’t have to deal with in a new home. Still working to get many things fixed. Overall we love the home just not to thrilled about some of the issues we still have to fix on a brand new home.

finishing touches, like trim work, garage, doors very poor.

make sure you get everything in writing

The entire build process was great. Our sales rep kept us informed and although the lot we chose already had begun construction, Lennar allowed us to make several interior changes (floors, counters, and couple other items :) The one item Lennar MUST work on is their Closing procedure. On the day of close for our final walk thru/inspection, there were still 10 people inside working on the home! It is impossible to conduct a walk thru inspection to view potential deficiencies with construction still going on! Lennar should have pushed the Close by a day or two. Lennar robbed us of the new home experience on the day of close and left us with a bad taste. To their credit however, it did take a couple months, but Lennar did fix all the deficiencies in the home. The site manager unfortunately did not pick up on any of the clues about us being incredibly unhappy. During the final walk thru before Close, He arrived about 15 minutes late, on his phone and went right into his purpose of being there. He did not even introduce himself. I had to stop him, and introduce myself and my wife, and then once he finally made eye contact he realized that he was being unaware of his environment. He didn't do any of the basic fundamentals of an introduction to make us feel comfortable. After living there for a few months there are a couple of weird design flaws. For example, the exterior hose is on the wrong side of the house. It is away from the garage. How can you clean out the garage floor or wash your car? You need a 50/75 foot hose just to reach! With all that said, I do love my home. We have a Norwood Model and it really is awesome! I love coming home everyday, pulling in the driveway and can't help but smile, because this IS my home. ...

I absolutely love my home and have enjoyed working with Chad Aycock and John Faircloth. Matt from customer care has been helpful too. My main issue has been with my property. The yard was poorly graded and the yards are not 100% sodded. This is causing erosion on the back part of my property. The poor drainage was causing a lot of standing water on my property and it took a few months for it to be fixed. The issue has been addressed and a French drain was put in. It looked great at first but the dirt is starting to settle and you sink down into the ground where they dug the trench... the ground was not properly packed to avoid holes. It also took the landscapers 3-4 trips to complete the job. They kept coming out because it was not done properly. Overall the house is great. I love the neighborhood. I wish the whole property was sodded because I think moving forward sod is being provided on all of the properties. ... More

nice job

Love our new villa. Four months and still no answer on how to clean the stucco off sliding glass door tracks. Seven homeowners unhappy with same problem. Hope this gets a response. Super still trying to find an answer. Should have been fixed immediately.

Unhappy with grading and finishing yard work

The workmanship ,details final finish in out was very sloppy. Have someone inspect the work while in process and be more detail oriented.

Good with quality and delivery of building

We have a pair of defective double panel window install and found out after we close the sale. Garding and landscaping need to work on how to manage the water drainage system works for the long term of the house. Buying a house is long term investment perhaps and I hope the builder can focus more on quality control and extend customer care after the house is closed.

Lennar is a big company and will push you around if you let them. Don’t let them. Workmanship is ok, it’s goibg to depend on the contractors they hire. Just make sure you keep track of things and don’t let them get away with poor workmanship. Full disclosure: Our house was prebuilt so we didn’t get that chance and your mileage may vary.

So far I have really enjoyed living in McQueen Landing. The homes are very nice and the sales and construction staff are friendly. I am glad I moved to this community and I look forward to living here!

The workmanship of the home could be better. The home is settling really quickly, showing some work that could've been done better. There are no walk-out basements which was not disclosed and no porch or patio out back which also was not disclosed. There is water pouring outside the back of the home constantly and I don't know why. This "new" stuff is not all that great.

The home we bought from Lennar is perfect for us to downsize into. The floor plan is perfect for empty nesters. Lennar did provide a lot of extras for the price of the house. For the most part Lennar has responded to issues we have. One area that we have been ignored on is the grading in the back of the house. I feel there is a low area that needs attention but have not been able to get them to respond even after sending pictures of ponding. Nail popping on the walls is not considered a warranty item. I do wish builders would use screws to install sheetrock inside the house to avoid the issue of nails popping out in the walls. I believe most builders take the same approach. But that is a small issue and we experienced this in a custom built house ... More

They will build you a nice house, just make sure you get everything in writing and even then be prepared to either wait or have to go back and forth about it. They don't always do what they say they will do. I would avoid closing on a house in the winter as all the spring things they say they will comeback and do have not happened. And finally, I would suggest you just get the full sod package because if you don't you will regret what they do instead.

House is made of goof products but Lennar tends to rush some of the construction in which now warranty has to get involved and that is a never winning battle. Overall the house is good, the grading is bad, but we are happy overall.

I’m very happy with my house and where we are in the neighborhood, however, the HOA is non existent and something needs to be done about it.

The homes are presented wonderfully. However, after living here for a month, we noticed the Chatmanship is mediocre. The AC vents are loud, various portions of the house that are tucked away are missing paint, plumbing is mislabeled, electrical breaker keeps tripping, among other things.

There are a few things that county codes were not onserved

The quality of the appliance’s is terrible the cheapest on the market at least offer a upgrade??the finish work of the condo is not acceptable. Cement stains on the tile defects in the windows that should have never been allowed. No one is doing a good inspection to many issues with appliances issues with AC air handler issue’s with garage door opener and on and on Sloppy work and not a proper inspection by Lennar look up my calls to the warranty people .as a licensed Realtor I would have issues bringing my clients to a Lennar community. It’s way to much about making a good profit and leaving the customer to fend for themselves. Slow down hire better subs and don’t pay them u til all their work is accepted. Finally you collect $1000 Lennar fee for what ?? Use that money to hire a good inspection company I don’t like to complain but this is deserving. ... More

House is just ok. Builds cheap material and finish work is not that great. Final inspection finds weren’t fixed and never really were for a new house but that is Lennar’s standard on their builds. Our common area was all done and Lennar drives their construction trucks to drop off new material for new home building community next door tearing up the grass and making a mess.

Our experience with Lennar has been mixed. The buying process went smoothly, communication was good, and the home was finished on time. Overall, the purchase experience was positive and the quality of the home appears solid so far. After moving in, we noticed a few issues. There are some grading concerns around the property that we will be requesting to have addressed. These seem fixable, but based on our experience so far, I am not very confident in how they will be handled. The biggest frustration has been with the appliances. Within the first few weeks, we discovered that one appliance already had a known issue and an open case with Samsung before we even took possession. We were never informed of this ahead of time. We then ran into another appliance issue shortly after moving in. For a brand new home, this was very disappointing and time consuming to deal with. The Lennar warranty representative, Harold, was also not helpful. I raised concerns about having multiple appliance issues so soon after move in and did not receive a response addressing those concerns. That lack of communication made the situation even more frustrating. We expected everything to be fully functional in a new construction home. While the buying experience was good and the home appears well built, the early warranty experience has lowered our confidence. Hoping things improve, but so far the warranty support has been the weakest part of the experience. ... More
