Lennar Reviews

Sorry to say but..It was shocking when it came to our knowledge that their are no towel hangers in any of the restrooms and no light outlet above the bathing tub in one the rest room.. is these are all upgrades included in Lennar planning/construction I think these are basic needs to be provided in the new homes. I have seen so many Lennar constructions but never like these..there are so many cut offs in the upgrades..I think it’s better to give options to the customers rather than saying everything included at least we can have some choices. And more over there are no bar top counter lights outlets where we can replace by our selves. I think the plan we got is a basic plan not the upgraded version of the Lennar. Very disappointed. ...

Overall we are happy with the whole process of moving. There are some issues with the responsiveness and accountability of the team. We feel like there are too many people involved in the process and no point person to whom to direct complaints. Not very happy with the coordination of the project.

Once I closed, it became almost impossible to get the construction team out to complete the home, all items found and documented before closing. While I like my home, it doesn’t feel like home with all of the pending, incomplete items (including missing trim and tape on drywall/paint issues).

Don’t buy here! My home was not cleaned and there were 19 items that needed to be repaired or were issues. The light over my shower was missing. There was a light switch but no light. The place was dirty. Contractor work was sloppy , paint spills, door sills, missing bolts in cabinet, no sill on granite countertops, I’ve had houses built before in Maryland, but I’ve never experienced anything like this before. They rushed to get the houses up too fast and did not pay attention to detail. I love this model, I just wish the construction was better.

Overall, nice home and amenities in Millbridge. Finish work could use improvement with more options for kitchen cabinets.

trouble with multiple areas of purchasing this home. Still waiting for some warranty issues to be fixed after weeks of communicating and waiting. Communication is not the greatest. Overall, it’s a beautiful home. We are grateful overall. But there have been multiple issues.

They were really helpful in person but communication online was rough and the house workmanship had a lot of issues

Lennar only cares about closings. Our house was not even close to being ready to close, but Lennar insisted that it was going to close. It took three weeks after closing before the house was clean enough to occupy. Paint, drywall compound and grout were all over the tile. Paint and stains were in the carpet. Installer cut lines and marks were and still are in the tile. Gas was not turned on for the dryer; hot water was not connected to the dish washer. The overall filth in the house was just unbelievable. Very poor drywall and painting work. If not for the cooperation of Wllma, our construction manager, this review would be much lower. Wilma took over in the middle of the construction when many of the problems were already present. Lennar prides itself on many of its features but whoever heard of a house with no drawers in the bathroom vanities. The list of issues are really too numerous to detail. ... More

Some were very professional and helpful; Austin our construction manager and Will our mortgage rep. Others not some much and when our home didnt appraise it became my problem with no help whatsoever. I expected some construction issues and there have been, some have been resolved promptly and we are still waiting on others.

Make sure when you walk through , you take your time.

While we are overall fairly happy with our finished home, the overall fit and finish for the price of the home is substandard. We have purchased 8 other new construction homes over the past 30+ years so we know what we should be getting in terms of quality of workmanship. While Lennar advertises "Everything's Included" we found that not to be the case and there was very little we could customize throughout the process. We purchased the house about 8 months ahead of it being completed and had a relative watch the progress. I only wish I was here when it was being built and finished out to challenge Lennar on the workmanship. Now it appears I will have to pay other contractors to fix and bring the house up to my standards. For that it is disappointing but not much that can be done at this point. We will attempt to have some things fixed during the 1 year warranty but I am not going to hold my breath. To do it over again I might not choose Lennar but I think we can make this house viable in terms of a home we want to live in. ... More

It seems like there was a rush to build these homes and to sell them as quickly as possible. Doors are rough and not smooth from bad spray paint job. Trim and molding are rough and bumpy from poor paint job. Wood chips in doors, window sills, and trim that looks like were patched up and painted over without primer so easily distinguishable from the original paint. Dried up paint on glass windows and hardware. Cabinets had scratches and chips. Dried up paint spots on carpet. Just poor attention to detail for a home that costs over half a million dollars.

We really like our house overall. As with any large builder, we continue to find examples of shoddy workmanship and sloppy trim work. Our biggest issue was the fact we specifically asked about hardwoods on the entire first floor of the house and were told the house we were looking at would have hardwoods on the entire first floor. Upon flooring being installed carpet was placed in the guest bedroom, and the builder said that was the spec for the house. This is a small room and would have been a very simple and cheap fix for Lennar, but they simply do not care.

Lack of communication and closed on house with a lot of issues!!!

Just make sure when you do your final walk thru, you have an extra person with a good eye to catch the imperfections that you do not see.

Our project manager was great! However, the quality of craftsmanship by the trades, attention to detail, incomplete punch list even two months after closing, integrity, and timeliness of communication were unsatisfactory. We have a front door that needs to be replaced, a few broken cabinets, and a few other aesthetic things that need to still be fixed.

House quality and workmanship is acceptable for this kind of budget houses, but the financial and title teams sucks. Even though there was plenty of time to get ready for the closing day, as the house was being constructed, they were still asking for info to get the loan just around a week before the closing. Consequently the closing final amount keep changing up to the day of closing creating some unexpected hassles that day. Very disappointing feeling for a well known company as Lennar.

Mortgage is one department that needs to be more open, consistent and concern about us, customers. Having our mortgage internally helped us to be on track with our timelines though. We moved with incomplete parts of the house, supply issues were noted from the builder. Overall, we still love our location and we had a smooth turnover and closing.

I wish I could have chosen some of the options myself rather than the sales agent picking everything. I also feel some of the finishes in the home could have been a better quality. I do like the layout of the house but there are things I would have done differently:, lighting, location of outlets, added towel bars, medicine cabinet etc. Short on amenities. Love the location and convenience!

My new home is very basic for what the cost was. I did not have any options I had to take whatever they offered due to "COVID"? The best thing about my purchase is the location of my home, that is priceless. I am not impressed with this Lennar home, finishes feel really cheap.

5-10 experience in over all

Three words. L. O. L.

The house is ok. The obnoxious process of not offering people options in their homes has to change. For this reason alone, I would not buy from Lennar again.

Lennar has nice front team. realtor team is great though there was no clarity on when you will be getting your home built. they communicated at times, could be bit better. Construction Cordinator and team is the worse team of Lennar. they don't do any coordination on work , no follow up on their unfinished work after sell, even they promised multiple time.It feels like they don't value your time, money and experience. Five star experience just tuned to 2 star with Construction project Manager negligence.

My experience with sales was okay, Robin. The construction manager had promise to fix my problems at closing , still waiting .
