Lennar Reviews

I've been in since Christmas. Still have issues that need to be addressed

The layout of the home is very nice as is the exterior, However, some materials used on the interior are very cheap. The carpet is very thin and padding is lumpy. There were lots of paint touch ups needed, which Lennar has been very responsive to correct. We discover new cracks or nail pops every now and then, which we know will be repaired by Lennar, but it's still disheartening. Gutters were not included, which caused serious icing issues during winter.

Slow to respond to critical warranty issues Customer Service and Customer Representatives needs improvement with communication, reliability, completing jobs/repairs and ownership to resolving warranty issues.

I have had multiple issues and most have been resolved. My garage floor is making me extremely upset because there are multiple cracks in the cement floor. They extend outside of garage and stop at pavers. I was told that do to coronavirus I would have to wait for them to take a look at it. When I bought a house from Pulte the garage floor was so perfect I was able to put epoxy and sprinkles that made it beautiful.

The purchase process was as advertised. It's a house in a box, and they were going to build it whether we bought it or not. The staff was super helpful throughout the process and flexible with our schedules. The home itself is beautiful on the surface, but the quality and craftsmanship have us seriously doubting that we'd ever buy another. Simple things like sloppily painting over debris instead of clearing it first have been extremely disappointing. And it's not just spot issues, this stuff is in every room. It's not just cosmetic issues either. We have a vaulted ceiling and about 60 lf of functional railing that's just not sturdy. It wobbles with the slightest touch. We don't trust it and we have a small child in the home. Things like that are unacceptable in a new build of this price point. We've also been disappointed with the post construction cleanup on our roof, gutters and yard. Lennar posts a sign in every community about their cleanup policy "Every Trade, Every Day" or something like that. It couldn't be farther from the truth. There was always a massive mess of trash, beer bottles, nails, screws, scrap metal, etc. At closing we saw entire magazines of nails in our yard. To this day we have rusty nails, scrap metal, etc. littered throughout our yard and all over our roof and gutters. It's basic cleanup work that we shouldn't have to do to move into a safe home. ...

Problems with the home after move in affect the ratings. Customer service unable to correct problems.

I closed on the property 11/30/2019 but did not move in until 03/21/2020. I had heard from owners who had moved in before me that the quality of the water was awful. It smelled like rotten eggs. I expected this issue to be resolved by the time I moved in but it hasn't and I have to boil my water before I can use it. There are more issues but I don't have enough space to continue.

Quality is cheap and house is price too high. Everything is definitely minimum standard only.

I love my home, the layout, and functionality. What I do not appreciate is the poor finishing work. The paint, caulk and general finishing work is very poor. We had construction mgrs change and that coupled with the close our year-end for the builder made the process for the walk thru etc. challenging.

Although construction was completed in a rapid pace, the final build was not of the highest quality or workmanship. Even the little details were missed, for example, light switches were not wired correctly, lights were not centered, etc. Standard building code items were not included, like rain gutters. Landscaping was very poorly put in.

Too many issues for a new home. Need to improve the inspection process

During the building process, Lennar sales worked with us in a complex situation where we needed to sell our home in order to purchase the new one. In that regard, they were great. However, the walkthroughs were a joke as we had two individuals who did not know our specific home and could not answer questions about our specific build, just Lennar homes in general. Additionally, during the walkthrough the day of closing, we noticed additional items that we wanted taken care of and the individual conducting the walkthrough (the builder manager) was unwilling to fix anything that we identified, just to verify that other things were taken care of (i.e. workers had messed something else up like the grout and cabinets when trying to fix something else). Additionally, there was a lot of garbage in the yard from the building process in the neighborhood, and Lennar said they would send someone out, however, no one ever came and we had to clean it up. While we are happy with the home itself, outside of a few relatively minor warranty repairs, the empty promises made during the walkthrough had a lasting impression on us and I would definitely look at other builders. Additionally, at closing, the closing manager (associated with Lennar) was rude and treated us like he didn't have time for us. I didn't feel like a customer at closing, just a cog in their daily routine. ... More

People prepared to sell, however, do not finish reviewing the house after closing. A struggle to complete internal problems. 4 months and I still have blue tapes in my kitchen.

Sales office is awful to work with. There were several items that were suppose to be addressed prior to move in, but did not get completed. Once everything was finally address, which took some time, everything has been good.

We recently purchased a Lennar home. We were very excited about the purchase. Salesperson and mortgage broker were easy to deal with and they made the process happen very quickly. Once the sale was complete we felt as if we no longer mattered. The zero defects was a joke. We spent hours walking through the home marking areas for repair. 70% of repairs were not completed, the tape was just removed as if it were. We had difficulties entering the home for more than one week. Emails have been slow to receive responses. Although we like our home, we're not sure that we would purchase another Lennar home in the further. ... More

Be on top of every thing

Our buying experience was not the best as we had to travel over an hour twice just to our in our offer. This practice is very inconvenient if you do not live close and almost deterred our interest in the home. If it was not for the excellent sales agent who kept us abreast and was very responsive to our concerns and frustration, we would have looked elsewhere. The warranty offered is questionable too. Just make sure everything is up to par quality-wise before signing on the dotted line. Otherwise, be prepared for the warranty denials once you are in the house. We are highly doubtful about recommending others at this point. ... More

Learning flaws from home by the day, whether it’s minor cracking, water connection to the dish washer not connected properly, and having to break a part of my wall to be able to connect

Not happy due to the lack of follow ups

We bought a model and Lennar doesn't warranty past 30 past days and we see why. Little things continue to emerge such as leaking faucets and poor craftsmanship around the house. The Lennar warranty team won't even respond with recommended resolutions, they just ignore the inquiries. To their credit they were very responsive and friendly the first 30 days but won't even respond with recommended resolutions any more. Unfortunate that we've already had to go out of pocket for handy work on a house that's never been lived in 2-3 months after moving in.

Overall im happy with the purchase, but the quality and materials used could of been way better. For example, the driveway to everyone's property are sinking in. The Paver company used does not do good work and cuts corners.

My biggest problem was during the walk I was blue taping a lot. Mike, who no longer is with y’all said, “don’t worry about taping everything right now, you won’t see it all so we’ll come back in 2 months to fix whatever else you see.” Nikki, who is awesome! Told me that wasn’t the case. All the baseboards in the house look like they were found in the trash, pieces missing in them, nails not all the way in, or holes from the nails. The painters also did a horrible job caulking the baseboards to the ground. They probably costed you guys a lot of money how much extra caulking they got all over our tile. These things will probably make me not recommend lennar to any friends or family, and not ever buy a lennar home again. Unless of course you guys actually care about those 2 issues and come fix them. ... More

Lack of detail to the finishing touches

We've been in the house for about 5 months and love it. Unfortunately we have an ongoing problem with customer support and warranty "after move-in" communications and scheduling. We have a laundry list of things that have either broke or need finishing work and communication with the Lennar project manager and our sales contact has been very poor. They rarely respond to my texts or calls and in the rare instances when contractors do show up they appear at my door with no warning of arrival so some are missed because we're not home. I've repeatedly requested getting the schedule in advance and have had no response from anyone about it. One of our neighbors has been waiting more than 6 months for follow-up work so apparently this is an issue with more than just us. Extremely unsatisfied. Caveat emptor -- let the buyer beware. ...

When looking for a new home, I specifically looked at homes built by Lennar because of your reputation for quality and design. My home and our neighborhood has been a big disappointment in quality to say the least. Clearly, quantity and time were the priority when building and I have been disappointed since the day I moved in. Crooked walls and windows, paint on the carpets, exposed carpet tacks, etc.
