Lennar Reviews

We are enjoying our new home and neighborhood and did have some positive experiences with Lennar. However, since we moved in 3 months ago we have noticed some problems with the workmanship. The paint job was especially sloppy. We also had problems with the Lennar Title Company giving us incorrect information at closing, and they would not respond to our emails requesting assistance concerning this incorrect information. These are some of the reasons that our overall rating is just average.

They make a lot of promises they don’t deliver! It took me 4 months to get our ice maker and dispenser to work after 3 service calls. It finally works. I still have blue tape on 3 of my cupboard that have not been addressed, after several emails and text. They sell your home as a “smart home”. However nothing is set up in your home so you have to do the leg work to make it a smart home that you purchased. Garage floor is bubbling up, painter never returns your text to schedule. Washer has had issues spinning. Waiting for warranty work January 5.

In good faith, I wouldn’t use Lennar as my home builder again. I’ve been in my home for four months and I’m still waiting to have construction issues resolved. Too stressful.

I think the workmanship is very poor quality I have had way to many problems to be in a brand new home it’s a nightmare but I can say that everything is being taken care of but if it was built right from start I would not have to be writing about it I came to Lennar for quality and I am disappointed.

Make sure you follow through when you receive work orders. This builder does not follow through, warrenties managers give you lots of lip. They don’t care. We still have several items in our 5 month old house not complete and or fixed. So far no one follows through. They don’t care.

Beware! If issues aren't addressed prior to closing, they may never get resolved! We have outdoor faucets that don't function, garage outlets that can't be used, and a front window that was cracked by flying construction site debry that we can't get fixed!!!

It was exciting watching our house be built.

Poor build quality and craftsmanship

Not a pleasant experience with Sales and quality in construction and addressing the issue not good either.

Lennar is building too many homes too fast and utterly lacking in quality control. All the homeowners in our neighborhood are having to chase after them for multiple items with the homes. Warranty response can be very uneven. Four months into the home and I’m still waiting for a replacement cabinet doors owed us from prior to close. Paint on floors, dings and walls, crappy paint job in places, their installers put the wrong cabinets in the wrong bathrooms ( one is bigger one is smaller and they had them swapped Impacting use of the toilet in one of them ). Lennar’s‘s move-in ready campaign, things like blinds on the windows are one nice point but their connected home package is left to you to install and figure out. We didn’t even get our full package and had to chase after Lennar for a few months now to get all the pieces that were promised. One hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. World not buy Lennar again ... More

Workmanship and quality is terrible for the price.

I was disappointed in the overall workmanship in this house. At one screw in every hinge was stripped and was told you don't fix that. You can see seems in the crown molding but was told that is a homeowner's problem. All interior doorknobs were loose. Poor paint job.

Responsive to warranty issues, however, not responsive to living conditions in the neighborhood. Previous construction manager John made sure issues in the neighborhood were addressed immediately. That is no longer the case since he left. Construction trash, early construction noise on the weekend by subcontractors ( before sunrise) is completely unacceptable and construction workers and subs race out the streets at a very high speed.

I have had a number of issues with extremely low response time. Anything from 6 weeks for garage remotes, missing support clips in the panty, paint touch up, ring and flo don't work, etc! The latest is the pump in the washer broke 10 days ago! The service person came yesterday and it needs to be ordered. Probably looking at another 2 weeks without a washer!

So many things don’t work or break so quickly. I’ve been waiting forever to get my front door fixed because I can’t unlock it so I can’t even open my front door. It’s ridiculous.

Sadly I spend more of my time discovering things around the house that need to be fixed rather then simply enjoying the house itself

I was so excited to buy another Lennar home. I had a gorgeous 3 story home in Charleston SC. After closing on this house I was highly disappointed. Everything is cheap looking except granite. Cabinets cheap, carpet cheap, roof cheap! Would not let me change anything. Even if I paid cash up front. No lights on front porch. Cheap stick tree in front yard. This house was $360,000!! They forgot a linen closet upstairs until I told them. Then busted out the ceiling downstairs to reroute A/C ducts. Vents put on backwards and no caulking or thin caulking throughout the house. My doorbell already broke have had electrical issues. Rushed work to make more money at the buyers cost. Quantity does not equal quality!! ... More

Careless workmanship and lennar is unresponsive to the issues once title is turned over.

Reasonable, but expect delays in the response time on warranty repairs

The steps leading up to closing were great. The staff was engaged and responsive. Since closing, I have had several quality control issues with the home that have not been fixed despite being raised to Lennar for resolution. I think there is a clear gap in how they deliver continuous support after closing and it leaves a bad mark on the experience. The subcontractor interaction does not feel properly managed by lennar and becomes an almost home owner responsibility to manage the subcontractors. There has been high turnover in our after closing lennar support staff that may play a part but that should be handled better by lennar so the homebuyer doesn’t pay the price. The people at lennar have been very nice and are trying to be helpful but the larger processes at play seem to be broken in post purchase support. There isn’t even a way to see the status of requests without calling a lennar rep. This feels like a service desk 101 feature to allow the user to see their status. ... More

Margaret & Danny were great. Danny accepted another position and Norm took over for him. Norm has not been very responsive and I had to call the office and ask for his manager before he came to do our 30 day walk through (over 60 days later). We are still waiting for the cabinets that were scratched and broken before we closed to be replaced. They had the HVAC company come out and check our heater because it is not working and the house gets cold. They did not check the furnace, but claimed the thermostat was defective and replaced it. The house is still cold. Even when I have it set at 72 it drops as low as 63 in the house when it is cold outside. We have sent pictures to Norm and over 2 weeks later still waiting for someone to fix this. ... More

The workmanship quality overall is very poor. Attention to detail is simply not there. I detected many issues with my home. Honestly, it feels like they rushed production of these homes and whoever "supervised" the different tradesmen working on these homes did a poor job. The one saving grace about Lennar is that they do stand by their one year warranty and get whatever problem you have fixed eventually.

Make certain everything is done right before you sign off with the quality assurance person. Once you sign that and then you close, you have warranty to deal with. Warranty has been horrible to deal with. They can only complete one item at a time. I wish my Home buying experience would have been better.

I have been attempting to get resolution regarding grading issues with my lot. I have experienced standing water for greater than 24 hours after a normal rain within 10 feet of my home's foundation. This is an issue with the standard noted under the warranty. The warranty states the builder is responsible for at least one attempt to correct this issue. I have only been in my home since July 2021 and have attempted to communicate with customer care for the past 3 months. I have been told several times that a landscaper will come to assess the grading; however, this has not happened to date. I leave voicemails and get no response from the Customer Relation Specialist or Director. This is such a large investment and I figured my concerns would be addressed in a more professional manner. It was my hope to have this issue resolved without having to obtain legal representation but the builder is leaving me with no choice in order to get this concern addressed appropriately. This is a very distressing and disappointing situation. ... More

The workmanship of the contractors is absolutely horrible. It seems like things are just thrown together. We had entire trim areas not painted, holes behind bathroom hardware, nails missing in shower drain and outdoor shutters...etc. This is the second home that we have built, and the final product's quality has been devastating to say the least. It is my hope that future homebuyers experience contractors who want to do their best for every homebuyer and that the building/project manager communicates and evaluates employees in such a way that a culture of excellence is created.
