Lennar Reviews

We love the layout of the home which is why we picked it. The Workmanship is poor. We have paint runs down the banister, all across the baseboards, the subfloor wasn't installed properly in the bathroom creating tile cracks. Had that fixed and now the grout is cracked. It takes forever for someone to come out and fix anything. The outside cleaning that was supposed to be completed in November had yet to be done and it is currently March. The paint job is horrible! The banister received 1 coat, the wood is showing through, there is building dust painted into the banister. Its horrible. For a brand new house the quality it the worst. Our 20 year old home was built and had better quality than our new house. ... More

Let me start by saying Rich and Aaron are very great and helpful with issues. I appreciate all their help. They are the only good experience I have had with lennar. I am not to happy at this point with everything else. There is a lot of sloppy work done. Carpet and drywall feels very cheap. Floor boards are creeping everywhere. I feel this house was rushed being built. I was rushed to pick my colors and was refused a small changes. When my brick went up I informed salesman I felt that wasn’t the right brick color I choose before moving in. I was told it still needed to be washed and would lighten up and brushed aside. I will I’ll and could it fight at the time. After unnoticed it was still not lighting up I started doing some research. After doing some research month later and fighting I have now found out they put defective brick on my home and still in the process of trying to get this fix. No one listen to my concerns at the beginning. We Really wanted brick paid a lot of money for that brick. Now we have to worry if they replace it will they do it correctly and not do more damage to our home? This is very stressful and frustrating. I am extremely disappointed!!!!!! we are out 5200.00 and have defective brick and still trying to get Then to admit it and get this fixed. Lennar should be giving us a FULL refund and correcting the issue!!!!!!I had a issue with our floor it has been replaced twice and still not correct. I am finding so much I have to keep calling about. The brick and floor is a mess. I still don’t have a full resolution with the brick issue. No one should have to go through this. Beyond stressful . We looked at new home builders for years and went with lennar. Upset We did. At this point I would not send a friend or family member to purchase at lennar. Putting defective brick on a home is not a minor issue and now I have to keep fighting to get this corrected. I am disgusted with this situation I felt lennar home felt more quality then RYAN and some other builders and now I am not so sure. Also the price we paid for this home ... More

Poor quality workmanship. No pride in work very sloppy. House is not level, flooring poorly laid, poor paint job. Paint splattered all over the tile floor, poor quality concrete. No lighting in home except for bathroom and kitchen.

the quality of the construction materials as well as the finishes are of very poor quality as well as the personnel used in the "guarantee" period does not comply with the orders, nor with the appropriate professionalism.

I am new owner of a Lennar home, but I'm having a hard time enjoying it. Besides (1) issues during the build, (2) a large (and still-growing) list of poor craftsmanship/building issues throughout the house, and (3) horrific customer service and responsiveness, Lennar made two particularly egregious mistakes while rushing to sell me a house by the end of their fiscal year. 1. Lennar sold me a house in the winter without heat on the top floor (bedrooms). The home inspection noticed that the heat pump wasn't operating, but Lennar failed to address the issue and sold the house anyways. 2. It took over two months after settlement to get internet service. This is because Lennar, the developer and builder, sold me a house without ensuring the street infrastructure was in place. In short, I strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere. Lennar will rarely deliver on their promises, and even your basic expectations will not be met. ... More

I was excited to be buying a lennar home but i was disappointed with not being able to choose the elevation of the home. our house was a moonlight skye series and its all white it makes no sense that lennar would do this the house looks unfinished. Also during the walkthrough there were so many things wrong with the house due to the construction team building these houses too fast and sloppy. the sale agents were awesome though very nice and helpful its just the craftsmanship of lennar thats quite horrible and now my family has to live with these flaws for a long time.

They have a lot of problems with floor But warranty is good

I wish I'd known about the builder. We would've bought an existing house and not had to deal with the disappointments. Inspect your home thoroughly!!! Huge gaps between the floors and the walls. We've had major repairs for things in the first month that couldn't have actually been inspected, let alone pass inspection!?!

Sub-par engineering, construction supervision and quality of workmanship. Lack of diligent workmanship is a reflection of the builder's rush to complete home construction without paying attention to detail and pride in work quality. Customer service is wanting and repeated subcontractor visits are required to rectify mistakes/blunders.

Lights missing where there should be lights to

In the 5 short months that I have lived in my home I have had to have several contractors back out to fix things that I feel you should not have to fix in less than 5 months. My hardwood floors have a gab that can easily be seen and collects crumbs and other debris that im told is an acceptable gab but looks horrible. And now I have a second location just not as bad as the first. I have an doorway that meets with the ceramic tile that hurts your feet if you step on it that does not get a transition plate due to the house not being DESIGNED with one. Getting the contractors back out to fix things has been an issue in itself. I have had several not show up even though they were scheduled. I have had contractors say they came out but had not. I have had to play Project Manager and provide update and statuses on the work to be done because there has not been much follow up on the jobs the contractor was assigned to do. I have been asked several times to sign off on work that was not done. To find out the customer service POC had no idea of the status. I spent a lot of money on this house and some areas look like I have lived in this house for years. I expected a much better product and experience than I have had with Lennar and that is from start to finish. ... More

Had a prior Lennar home, felt would be similar in good built quality , not impressed , have had issues with cabinets, cracks , poor built quality and over all fair !

During our building process, the sales team repeatedly gave us misinformation and took long * 2 answer questions. Since we have moved into our house the warranty department is slow to respond and lets things linger 4 a long time. After our first warranty appointment and claim, they sent two people out to work on some of the issues, but the rest is still left undone.

Shoddy craftsmanship all over. Trying to get the house is built and sold for the bottom line and not really caring about the finished product.

New is not always better. I have purchased several homes in my life time being prior military. This last purchased property is questionable.

We moved in 7 months ago and have had workers here over 10 times. Rude office staff, subfloor issues, flooring issues, broken dryer, issue with kitchen sink, broken raucouses, broken doorbell, hole in floor, broken tread on staircase, etc. Had we known Lennar had poor craftsmanship, we would never have purchased this home. Do not recommend this builder.

We built the new “everything’s included” home. Sounded like such a great thing. In order to get and “everything’s included” home, they cheat everywhere they can. Downstairs cabinets have soft close hardware. Get upstairs, not included. Plastic faucet upstairs on an upgraded laundry room. Only one hearing/air vent for the entire kitchen, living room, entryway. Upstairs is so hot and downstairs is freezing. Workmanship is poor. So many thing have had to be fixed already. Carpet is so cheap. We’ve been in the home 4 months and the carpet looks like it is 10 years old. Terrible, terrible quality. ... More

I really had higher expectations from Lennar but I feel it fell short on several fronts...not going to recommend to any one. ..I would probably advice to stay away from Lennar given the price of the house and poor material and workmanship...sad !!

I love my home and it’s expected to have a few issues that need to be ironed out. With that being said, it shouldn’t take 6 months to replace pavers and the rear door lock is stripped and has an issue with the locking mechanism. Those are two of the major issues we have that refuse to be addressed.

Just weeks after moving in all nine upper kitchen cabinets came loose from wall and exploded when they hit the floor.....glass flew to every corner of lower level. All dishes shattered!!! Small grandkids had just finished making breakfast on counter below cabinets and would have been seriously insured or worse! Lennar found that all cabinets were screwed into wallboard/paper only!

We and 50-60 of our neighbors were all promised beautiful finished green spaces and a tot lot when we were in the sales process. Lennar never finished these and apparently has no plan to. Other neighborhoods have beautiful amenities for the same HOA cost we do. Different builders who keep their promises. We will have to hire legal council and go through mitigation for breach of the sales agreement as we were all told the same things and our neighborhood is not up to par. Items take FOREVER to be fixed on my home. We have had 3-4 people who are supposed to fix things. Why so many? Can Lennar not keep employees? Still waiting over 7 months to get our roof fixed. It's disappointing. No one expected perfection, but the take the money and run without finishing what was committed to leaves a lasting impression of Lennar as a builder. I would not buy in a Lennar community again until all of the green spaces and amenities promised were already put in. It's sad. We love our home, but our community is disappointed with Lennar's commitment to what they promised. ... More

I completed a scathing review of Lennar 5 months ago. I will summarize. I consider Lennar the worst home builder I have ever worked with and I have moved 39 times. Your prime motivator is speed , not quality. Your workers take no pride in their work and do not respect the work of others. I did not rate you in trustworthiness as I have no way to measure this, and of course your survey required an answer to submit.

Very disappointed with workmanship.

We just recently bought a home in Rosena Ranch from a Lennar community. Since we've moved in, we have had to call service quite a few times for issues that should not be happening in a new home. For example, our handrail on the stairs are already having separation from the wall. It is under warranty and will get fixed, but it is very inconvenient especially because the contractors have to schedule so far out. These things should not be happening in a new home. I don't know if I trust Lennar's workmanship. The backyard was done very cheaply as well and all the neighbors complain about the amount of mulch that was put in. ... More

Our advisor was very knowledgeable but unfortunately, he had a family emergency during our home buying process from the very beginning and was told to contact 2 other Lennar reps if we had any questions. They were no help at all. Never let us know what was going on and never returned calls. This was the most crucial time as we were in the actual home buying process. When we moved in, we had quite a few issues with things around the house and to get those things fixed it was just a nightmare. For example, as we did our walk through, we noticed that the paint on the outside of the house did not match the majority of the wall and were told they accidentally painted it the wrong color. It took about a month or so to get anybody out there to fix it and we were told that the painters came out and fixed it, twice! Really? Because it was the exact same as when we did our walkthrough. It was never fixed. I could go on and on about all the issues we had. We were and are still very disappointed at this new home buying experience. This wasn’t our first home we purchased, but it was our first brand new home and we expected much better than what we got. After our experience, we probably won’t buy another Lennar home. Lennar builds in volume, and with that comes really bad quality, unfortunately. ... More
