Lennar Reviews

Landscaping is poor. No weed barrier on mow hill. Garage completed without a primmer coat, which is horrible. Trouble matching interior paints. Response time to have issues completed is sub-par. Sales team was amazing, huge props to Rosalie and Kathy.

Although the home is beautiful, you can tell the work is rushed. Lots of things that arent done correctly because Lennar just wants to make their money as quickly as possible. The issues we did get fixed took months to get done. It's really sad because it could be better if they took the time to try.

Clearly, the construction trades are not what they used to be. The quality of workmanship is hit or miss. Take it from someone who has built several homes. For us, the drywall work is horrible. No sense in pride for the work being done as there ceiling job in the main areas lacks quality. Additionally, the quality of material is poor but since the contract, which you cannot change, gives Lennar the ability to change material, clearly means giving you an inferior product. Our wood floors are cheap garbage. While the price is good, the quality of work and products are below average.

Don’t close on your home until your issues are fixed! They make you jump through hoops to get simple things fixed that should have been done right the first time and send contractors that have been drinking to your home with children in it. They make you feel like the bad person for wanting things done right when purchasing a brand new home. They tell you things will be fixed after closing but that isn’t true. We had to wash splattered paint off every surface of our new home and had to paint walls ourselves because the painters had been there 3 times and only made things worse by rushing through the job. We should only have to customize our home when moving in, we should not have to fix things in a brand new home. ... More

Average home builder

I have lived in my Lennar home for almost six months now. I have come to find out that pretty much all the materials used in the building of my townhome are the cheapest product available. If given a choice I wouldn't buy a home from this company again.

Quality of finishes, subcontractors, and oversight is lacking

Initial purchase process was smoother, design and options selection were easy to go through with sales person, construction manager was less responsive during the build, many issues found at final inspection and during final move-in. How would you describe the quality and value of your new home? Construction was ok, found many issues after 3 months period. Builder promised many items and delivered accordingly. For example, Amazon products give away. Ring, echo dot etc. What would you most like potential home buyers to know about this builder? Always do proper research about builder and quality of products they are using. Ask questions and expect details. This will be worthwhile after closing. ... More

Number of times took off from work to accommodate repaired makes it feel like a brand new fixer upper. Very disappointed I was not told that every time I refinanced my home, I have to pay $250 to have Sunstreet do subordination paperwork. Why is Sunstreet even on my title . Unhappy

Too many issues with workmanship and response to repairs.

Subcontractors don’t show to do warranty work when scheduled and need to return more than one time to complete the simplest correction.

I closed on my new Lennar home at the end of May, 2019. Shortly after I moved in, there were several problems discovered, one being a water leak inside the home, most of the other issues were relatively minor. The customer relations team member assigned to me, Rick, has been amazing at responding to my tickets and working to get the problems corrected. However, the contractors that come out to fix the issues have been my biggest problem. They do not want to be flexible and only want to come M-F from 8-3, that is when a vast majority of customers are working. Since I have started a new job, I am not able to take PTO or leave work early to be home. It has been a major inconvenience!! A couple of times, the contractors have been scheduled to come out to correct a problem and they just don’t show up at all! They have no care or consideration for us as the customer!!! My recommendations to Lennar: first, get better contractors in the beginning to do the work right the first time. I have had a new build before (different company) and didn’t have nearly the amount of problems. Secondly, have better quality controls in place so that most of the issues can be caught and corrected BEFORE the homeowner moves in! Third, when your customers do have problems, find contractors who are willing to meet the demand of the customers and can work more flexible schedules! While it costs Lennar a lot of money to build homes and correct mistakes, there is still a huge profit margin (if not, why stay in business?). Lennar - you need to take care of your customers and provide quality homes, not a home that is slapped together in a couple months with very little quality control checks! I do love my home but this process has been painful and frustrating. And honestly, if I had to do it again, I am not sure I would. ... More

The buying process was okay, the only person that was incredibly responsive was the sales agent, and he had already secured the sale. Construction Manager changed 3 times in less that 4 months, and quite a few items we asked weren’t done. It could have certainly been worse but absolutely could have been better.

there were too many details incomplete, their work has so many fault

They quickly build and move on without a care about quality of craftsmanship and a pain to get to come fix things.

Countless items left to be fixed at a later time. Warranty work takes forever

I love my house and the development, but the issues I have submitted to Lennar, which includes water coming in under my garage door, loose front door lock system and cracked board where my 2 car garage door is attached have not been addressed and I contacted Lennar customer service over a month ago. With a few days, a representative came out and took pictures of the areas of concern and now will not respond to emails, etc. and nothing has been corrected. Other issues right after my house purchase have given me a big lack of trust in Lennar.

Just barely three stars.

The exterior siding and trims are not good quality as well as the cabinets and doors are cheap and low quality.

Hope to see it in a few months

Have an inspection done before Lennar 1 year warranty is up. Lots of things to have corrected.

Wish they have more transparency in the process of buying and selling and working with their associates is not easy.

We love the house itself. We were disappointed that Lennar only installed 1 outside hose spigot in the middle of the enclosed patio and also 1 "inside" of the garage. Both are difficult to use. We had to spend a lot of money to trench the side yard to install water to the back yard. The grading in the back was terrible and we, again, had to pay quite a bit to grade it before landscaping. Lots of small things were wrong and at first the response to fix them were quick, and now we just wait and wait until someone corrects other issues. There were problems in front parkway where water lines burst twice. The workers ripped out all the plants and as of yet have not replaced them. We've asked several times to have that taken care of, but no help there. Our air conditioner slipped out of housing in attic because it wasn't fastened correctly and had to be reattached, then the repair man noted that a lot of the ducts were not even sealed and he taped those for us. We have had several damaged windows and some have been replaced. Now have noticed a cut in the slider door. Also plaster is cracking around family room window and no response yet. Seems like a lot of small problems considering the amount of money charged for this home. We are a bit disappointed with overall quality. ... More

Quality of workmanship is the worst I’ve seen. This is the third house I’ve built in last 8 yrs and the worst. They try to fix it but they just don’t know how

A few things to list 1) Paint contractors miss many spots and the exterior paint has weak spots where they spaced the spraying 2) Faucets in downstairs bedroom and master bedroom leak onto counter if left at a lower valve setting. Lennar stated that this was within spec. Having to buy faucets that actually are long enough to not flood bathrooms. Should not be buying things to fix Lennars issues. 3) Floors are starting to gap and flex quite a bit. Downstairs laminate floors. 4) Biggest issue: Front driveway was poured before a deep freeze in the winter. Contractor did not adequately cover the driveway (used plastic as opposed to a large insulated blanket) Driveway has been flaking away and dissolving due to improper pour. Have been working with Lennar for more than 4 months to resolve issue. I'm certain they will do nothing. ... More
