Lennar Reviews

If I could do it all over, I would have gone with a different builder. The quality of the home is not good. I continue to find issues and warranty reps are not helpful. I was told one thing during my walk and now I am being told something different as far as what is covered.

The quality and work done is poor. The responsiveness to issues is also not good. I would not recommend.

Our brand new home, built in 2025, was built without internet connectivity. Today, nearly two months following our closing, we still have a fiber cable running through our driveway in order to have internet/cable services. Lennar hasn’t lent even a single phone call in helping us get it resolved. Additionally, every time we use the oven we blow a breaker. We’ve put in warranty requests and for 3+ weeks we’ve been waiting for somebody to contact us to address the issue. Crickets….

Still waiting for original repairs to be done, but all I get is silence. Can’t wait for the future promises to be broken.

We were so thrilled to purchase our new home with Lennar. We had a lot of issues and the construction manager at the time was not truthful with us. We had over an inch of water standing in our basement after the drywall was installed and he said we only had a few puddles. It ended up that Lennar had to hire a restoration company to come in and found a lot of mold in our walls. It was eventually taken care of. Then when we moved in and the craftsmanship of the house is sub par. Door frames are not level and poor quality with walls. I could go on but this experience has been not stellar and this has been our 4th house we have built. ... More

My experience with Lennar revealed serious issues in both their lending partner process and the quality of the home’s construction, and buyers deserve to be aware of these problems. Lending Experience: Lennar’s preferred lender made repeated and unacceptable errors during my loan process. They entered my name wrong and my address wrong on multiple documents—basic information that shouldn’t be difficult for any competent mortgage professional. After seeing several mistakes on fundamental paperwork, I lost all confidence in their ability to handle a home loan accurately or securely. I had to switch to an outside lender at the last minute because Lennar’s own lending team could not meet a basic standard of care. Construction/Design Defect: After closing, I discovered that Lennar installed a refrigerator that is physically incompatible with the kitchen layout they built. The refrigerator handle hits the wall, the door cannot open fully, and the bottom drawers cannot be pulled out because they collide with the door. This is not a matter of preference—it is an obvious and preventable design and workmanship defect. Instead of taking responsibility, Lennar’s proposed “solutions” were: Remove the fridge drawers (so the appliance becomes partially unusable), or Charge me $500–$750 to replace the fridge with one that actually fits the space. Charging the homeowner to fix a construction error that Lennar created is unacceptable, unprofessional, and legally questionable. Under South Carolina’s implied warranty of workmanlike construction, Lennar is required to deliver a home built in a reasonably workmanlike manner, free of design defects, and suitable for normal use. A refrigerator that cannot function in its assigned space violates this warranty. Additionally, forcing a buyer to pay extra to correct a defect caused by the builder can fall under the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act (SCUTPA), which prohibits deceptive or unfair business practices. Requiring an upgrade fee to make a brand-new home functional is the definition of an unfair practice. I purchased a new home with the expectation that the kitchen—and its included appliance package—would operate as intended. Instead, I received a layout that literally prevents the refrigerator from opening. Lennar needs to correct this defect at their cost, not mine. Until Lennar steps up and addresses this issue according to South Carolina law and basic professional standards, I cannot recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable builder or mortgage experience. ...

There were several areas that need attention in my home buying experience. 1- I noted to the seller representative that the address was wrong on official documents. They stated that it was only on their documents and not an issue. I repeated that my concern was that the address was registered wrong with the city. I was repeatedly told this was not the case. In the end, it was the car and the seller had to reach out to the city to correct the address. 2-the kitchen cabinets where damaged on approximately 50% of the doors. Lennar attempted to repair the damage using an abrasive pad. When I saw the repair, I told the site superintendent that it was unacceptable technique for repair. They informed me that was the best they could be done. I filed a warranty claim and the cabinet manufacturer came out and made professional repairs. Now the cabinet doors look new, as they should’ve to begin with. 3-The mater bathroom sink splashes water all over the place. I’m being told that it’s not something Lennar will address. They know there is an issue but son not think they need to take care of it ... More

I’m having bad experiences with Lennar. Take forever to fix the master shower room. And now, they excuses that the guys come to fix the shower room don’t have enough training. If he don’t, how come Lennar didn’t hiring someone have full training? Or all your employees have no license to build the home? I’m very upset when they told us they if willing to accept the money and they will not come to fix the shower room that broken!

The material used for house are very low level.

Overall experience was unsatisfactory. Lack of communication, misinformation given, cheap building materials, poor workmanship. I could go on and on. I would not purchase another home from this builder again.

If you want to pay high dollar for a cheap build with corners cut everywhere you look - buy a Lennar home. They don’t even paint (or prime) the ceilings. The things we’ve discovered after it was too late have continued to pile up and cost us over $10,000 in upgrades that should have been standard for a home of this price within the first 2 months. Stay away.

The home itself is okay. Clearly the construction crews do not take great pride in their work or craftsmanship, as we had a leak in the roof within 2 weeks of closing. It took almost a month to get that fixed, but alas, it is squared away. Getting responses from folks can be difficult, too. On one occasion after we closed, we had the construction crew for a different property using our external faucet for some reason (have it on our security cameras). Closing itself was a nightmare as they did not get the certificate of occupancy in time. It seems this is probably par for the course in terms of things waiting until the last minute, which is surprising, considering the number of homes they put up. All in all, we like the house; there are some minor attention-to-detail things that aren't the greatest, but the home itself is fine. Working with folks at Lennar can be a large PITA, and it moves very slowly to have things remedied. ... More

I asked questions along the way and was told let me find out and I will get back to you. {Never happened} one guy told me it's not like we have a check making machine here. Didn't care for that answer now they tell us it could be a year before we start getting our mail here at Mize Meadows

Very disappointed in the quality of the workmanship and of communication.Would not recommend buying a Lennar home, unfortunately.

Build is cheap, not worth what I paid for, ongoing issues since I have moved into the home.

Very poor workmanship! Still waiting on some problems to be fixed! Took the reps word for final walk through….wish I could have been there personally! Very sloppy clean & patch up job!

Your Problems encountered after moving into a new Lennar home when bringing it to the attention of the Warranty dept. that says they Guarantee your new home for 1 Full Year are Ignored & they could care less if you are Not Happy with your new home & having Basic home comforts, such as a Front door with 2 door locks, a Wall switch that should be on the wall on the right side when entering a Bathroom when the door opens to the left to turn on the ceiling light.A Shower door that is properly installed, so water does not spray past the Gaps in the door, because there are NO Door Seal Strips to block the 1/2 gaps at the Top & Bottom of the Door. ...

This is my seventh house I bought and it was the worst experience in everything from home selection, loan process, delays in moving into the home, discovering poor workmanship and a losing battle with fire ants.

The builder rushed everything and uses trades that have no honor or pride in their work. The laziest finishes I’ve ever seen. We had them re caulk three times and are still finding areas where they would only caulk trim on one side of the door.

Still have blue tape from QA/QC department all ovef my walls. CM never took notes during final walk-through and failed to do any of the punchlist items. Window clips were thrown on my counter and not installed (told me they were a courtesy and not required). Lied to my sales rep about insulation over garage. Outlets don't work. Paint overspray everywhere. Weather stripping I can see day light through. Metal Studs, vs wood. Copper clad aluminum wiring. $500mm for a cheaply built.

I bought my 1st home from Lennar. Considering my experience I went with Lennar again and that was my blunder mistake I must have ever done. I don't have any issue with the sales, but the Lender gave me a tough time due to Quality of work and STILL I HAVE a problem which is not properly responded. Secondly, response to my problem was not taken properly.

I regret buying this home. Every single day, I regret it. There are so many hidden poor craftsman issues that I find. From ceiling light covers randomly falling, to ethernet ports being installed the wrong way, to THE worst floors I have ever had the displeasure of having. There really is no end to how poor quality of the home this is. Its a shame, because the floorplan is fantastic. But the corner cutting to save every penny, or in some cases just poor craftsmanship is where the regret comes in. Need customer service BEFORE you buy? LENNAR has you covered. But AFTER??? You're own your own. You will never catch me signing on another LENNAR home again. ... More

I am dealing over 10 problems because of the quality of the materials. I wish Lennar should look at the quality of the materials closely!!! Because of that it creates even more headaches for everyone. Customer service people on the phone are very rude as well. Lennar building homes look nice for a week. Lennar management team… please be mindful. This is people’s home and they are going to live there quite some time. Not only a week!!! Please please look at your work that you have done.

There is little attention to detail which leaves the final product looking shabby. Many issues that were identified during the walkthrough were never addressed despite several reminders. Electrical issues were not corrected - let's see what happens when I submit a warranty claim. To be fair, this is my second Lennar house, and the first purchase was a lot smoother although attention to detail was not there either.

My experience with Lennar has been very disappointing from the very beginning. The construction manager has refused to acknowledge or address the issues I raised during the construction period. He has not been willing to fix or even properly consider the problems. The landscaping is extremely poor, making my backyard completely unusable. The yard is sloped badly, and water does not drain for more than a week after rain. Despite raising this concern multiple times, Lennar handed over the house in this condition and has done nothing to improve it—not even simple fixes. I am paying a significant amount of money for this home, yet my concerns are ignored. The construction team only does what they decide, regardless of the customer’s experience or satisfaction. I am deeply disappointed with the construction manager, the team, and especially with the landscaping quality. ... More
