Lennar Reviews

contractors doing the work were terrible. way too many things needed to be fixed after closing

I feel like the materials were cheap. Like the paint. It’s horrible. It stains super easy and when you try to clean it up, the whole paint comes off the wall. The washer and dryer are so basic that the washer makes a very loud noise while washing and the dryer leaves all the lint in the clothes. When you put in a ticket for something to be looked at, they take weeks and weeks to respond and then you have to wait again weeks to have someone come out.

Slow responsiveness, challenging process to get issues resolved

Make sure you have a Realtor BEFORE visiting model homes!!

The sales agent Tina is great! Tom the customer care specialist is responsive and helpful. Well, my closing was pushed out several times and lennar wanted me to pay to lock my rate in which I thought wasn't very cool since they were the ones that kept pushing my date out. Secondly, Once I do get into my home the Furnance wasn't working, which Tom addressed quickly, however as the weather warmed I find my AC isn't working to which I submitted a ticket through the lennar portal, but all I've heard so far is crickets. Certain little shortcuts that I notice after the final walk through, once I got moved in, kind of show a lack of quality, but hey I guess you get what you pay for. Wait, not really! ... More

Quality of materials and workmanship is subpar. There seems little quality control at all stages of the building process. The subcontractors did a poor job and no one called them on it or made them fix it before closing. The closing punch list disappeared after closing day. For example…..Driveway (cement) is two toned because they cracked it and just patched it. Our walkway (cement) is all spotted because they poured it in heavy rain. Now Lennar says it’s not under warranty immediately after closing. We ran two months behind schedule. That is consistent throughout our neighborhood. Other builders in the neighborhood did not have these issues. The lack of choices is frustrating and Lennar’s favorite word is NO. It appears Lennar can not provide what a customer really wants at this $800k-1 million dollar price point. Or meet customers quality expectations at this price point. They’re just taking advantage of a strong sellers market in our area. They’re idea is “take it or leave it” because we can sell it to someone else. ... More

Fridge didn’t work, washer and dryer had to be fixed, the stove top fan was broken! There was so many issues it was crazy

While Lennar may be fairly easy to work with to resolve problems, I feel there shouldn't be as many as I've encountered. Unfortunately I bought rather late in this community and it seems as though the builders were in a rush to get done. This shows in some of the sloppy work that was done and things that were caught in the final walkthrough. Some of these weren't corrected before closing and some seem to have fallen off that list altogether. Now I'll have to deal with them under the warranty.

If you want a quick build with tons of issues and half butt work? Go with Lennar! Fit and finish is embarrassingly bad. Having Lennar fix the grout in the master because the workers stained it with moody shoes. At first they weren’t going to fix but thank God for the amazing people in warrenty. That’s about all that’s good with Lennar is their warranty department. Guess they needed a good one with all the issues they have. Walls aren’t straight, base boards are wavy and/or chipped with paint just put over top, paint everywhere on everything. Looks like a Jackson Pollock painting until I had to clean it. Floors can’t let water stand because the seams will swell (cheap), interior doors are all splitting on the sides, appliances...guess what? Cheap as cheap gets. Had to have them come blow more insulation above a 2nd floor room because it literally had none! Framing lumber used is #2 lumber (cheap). I would ask the builder questions as to why the rafters were crooked, he would literally shrug his shoulders and not respond. Weird response from the guy who’s building my home possibly? 0/10 would not buy again or recommend. I will be moving out of this house before 10 years because I know this house will have structural issues. First big hurricane we get, house may not be here. Take some pride in your work Lennar! If you do the right thing the first time you won’t have to come fix the errors. Again probably why they have good warranty department. ... More

The Carpet in my master bedroom has paint stains on it and is very dirty from all the construction workers. Lennar should have it professionally cleaned, after all I bought a brand new condo with a brand new carpet, it should look like one, and it doesn't ! I feel cheated !

The way the house is built, you’d think you were getting a $150k home but it costs you $300k+. Unfortunately the people doing the work do not care about their quality of work and unfortunately the Managers who are supposed to oversee the work are either not here or don’t have the experience to understand what’s wrong. We didn’t know the questions to ask but now that we know, we wouldn’t build with this builder again.

The buying experience with the realter and loan officers was by far the best. After that, the issues we continue to notice....workmanship is horrible.

Disappointed in grade of materials including Quality Control & Quality Assurance during the construction phase.

Build quality of the home is fine, and dealing with the local Lennar employees is very good and they work very hard to make it a good experience. Policies directed down from corporate are based on what is best for corporate and for the experience of the home buyer.

Disappointed in end quality and finish materials…

Home builder has defects, that take many visits from their contractors to repair, over the course of several months. Our counter has been repaired over 6 times, and still needs more work as they can never get it right on the first visit. Damaged closet hardware has been months to get repaired, still waiting on parts for over three months. Front door still is beat up from construction, and still waiting on a replacement. Upon move in, our keys weren't even there, and then weren't the right keys, and have to get it rekeyed. Attention to detail isn't there, they just wait to see what you find and want to argue to death to get fixed. ... More

Make sure you know what you are getting into !!!!

Would not recommend them , I sign a contract then they voided because they had to many sales for that quarter when resigned the contract they charged me more money for the , has done nothing to fix the problem not even an apology

Quality of material , paint and workmanship is very poor. If you touch the wall you will get that in your clothes. Walls are not properly aligned. What you see in the model home is not what you get even after those extra packages. Promised verbally that Fridge with washer and dryer will be included but later on denied. Should have that in writing. You can hear the water going down through the lines. For the money it could be better quality.

I would encourage any other home owner to get a pre-dry wall inspection and a final inspection. Also, don't move in until things are complete. There are alot of quality issues regarding the quality of the materials especailly the cabinets. The Customer Service Rep and Sales Person was the greatest experience of our purchase.

My 3rd time building second time building a Lennar home, this has been the worst one by far. From the lack of communication, to the 9 week closing delay, the quality of work, missing items, incomplete items, no walk through etc. I would not recommend Lennar as a builder.

I have too much repairs left in my new home and I reported so many times but no one responds

Builder dodnt use the quality materials

Very poor communication from our sales person, always evasive about when our home was going to be released for purchase as it was a model. We were forced to put reservation on home after we were told it was available to purchase. The day it was being released for sale we suddenly had another reservation, we then had to offer more money to get the home. All a game to get more money. We felt we were not treated as a valued customer but more like an inconvenience.

Still waiting on front steps to be replaced due to incorrect way they were installed. Had my final walk thru postponed 2 and wasn't notified, pushed my closing to December 3 and that cost me $450 in rent money. House is built good, alot of inconveniences since house wasn't completely ready on closing date...
