Lennar Reviews

We just purchased April 2020 and sold April 2022 a new build Lennar townhome in Prior Lake, MN, that experience was great. The attention to detail, commitment to follow here in Punta Gorda, FL is horrible. I booked a flight and the Lennar team was completely aware that I was flying down for a scheduled walk thru August 22 so we could close by the end of August. I walk in and could not believe what I was seeing, no appliances, vents not installed, no weather stripping on front door, garage floor not done, closet doors not hung, closet shelves not hung, filthy dirty outside and in. I'm sure I'm missing several other issues. What was most amazing to me was that the Lennar construction managers said "this is all minor things, the structure is in good shape and will get the rest of it down so we can close in August as that is our "Lennar's" target date" If this was my company and crew I would have fired them all, a complete failure for a final walk thru. We did a video walk thru later that week after I had flown back home and was assured all was taken care of. We met the movers the week of September 12 and some of the issues had been addressed. Still no weather stripping on the front door, the gap was big enough to allow rain, bugs to come right on in. Many paint mars on closet doors that did get hung but looked like they have been thrown around before mounting, inside of the house we completely dirty, shelves not done in the bedroom closets, I called and asked if we could at least get the weather stripping on the front door done while we were here and was assured it would be taken care of, 7 days later it was not done. I was even forwarded a message from Dave that Grant told him he could not find weather stripping anywhere.................hard to believe with a Home Depot just a few miles away. ... More

Overall, not a pleasant experience once deposit was made. Workmanship is below average; response time is not good and will not use Lennar on any future builds

Lennar was very pushy to use their mortgage company from the start, making the process super difficult when we decided to use our outside lender. We moved in in early August and different color cabinets were installed in the kitchen, still hasn’t been replaced. There’s rebar sticking straight out of the foundation above the grass. The sod next to our AC unit that we were told was going to be put in was never done. The AC didn’t work correctly for the first two weeks. I had to pay 500 dollars out of pocket to have an electrician come tell me the ground and neutral in my dryer power outlet we’re shorting together because the neutral insulation was sliced. There are holes popping up in our ceiling now throughout the house and inside the holes are rusty nails. Seems like there’s moisture getting onto the nails and it’s making holes in the ceiling. Seems like the cheapest materials were used in the house. The back of the island in the middle of the kitchen isn’t made out of wood, it’s a cheap flimsy almost cardboard material. I leaned against it one day and almost fell through it. Overall not a good experience. ... More

Horrible experience. If it wasn't for the good Floorplan we would have walked away! Very very poor workmanship. There isn't a wall straight in the house. No craftsmanship. Don't buy Lennar!

We moved hoping to have a peaceful retirement home. While our Salesperson was very knowledgeable and did her best with purchasing, Construction was terrible. Our cabinets were installed crooked, cracked, broken due to lack of skill which caused our Stone to be unlevel. Our hood vent never showed up so they borrowed one from a different model that didn't fit. Our light fixtures were cracked and broken along with our bathroom mirror and we had a broken window for 4 months. Our Ring Doorbell was installed broken, our Pentair Motherboard for our pool was installed broken, our AC condensor fan was installed broken, our garage doors were crooked and wouldn't close or lock, our tree in front yard was planted with broken support and leaning, we had a hole in our lanai. Our construction mgr Tim was suppose to handle alot of these items but he lied, didn't return phone calls, and avoided us. We've been in our house 2 months and still have unresolved issues. I will say Warranty is the only thing that's keeping us SANE ! ... More

My mother said if you have noting nice to say don't say anything so I guess I have nothing to say.

Love our home but the workmanship and attention to detail is not good especially for the price we paid. Totally feel taken advantage of and Lennar has not been responsive at all. Our construction manager did not do a great job and was MIA with most of all of our problems during the process. Again, beautiful home but not a great experience at all.

Don’t want to say anything

The price that I paid for the house that I got doesn't match. The quality of workmanship is very poor. It's not just one area, it's everywhere. Foundation concrete has stains, colors on the porch (from and back) both are single coats that can last one year. The second floor is uneven, the walls are not perfect at 90 degrees. It's been two months since we moved in but already there are cracks in the concrete. Cleaning (inside and outside) was not properly done. Even after raising the service requests, no one looked at it. Lennar was focused on closing the house rather than giving a quality product. The same issue was there with my neighbor. The final quality checks by the supervisor or responsible team were mediocre. I don't think this review will make any difference. Once the house is sold then it's done for them. Then it's all with the customers to fix those issues. Thanks to Lennar! ... More

Difficultly in getting anyone to show up on time

I would rather not comment. If I had it to do all over again, there will be things that I would’ve done differently. It seems that I was set aside because I do not use the preferred lender or realtors on site.

Delay is build may be common for builder, but that cost buyer a higher mortgage rate. That is not it, if house is closed with pending lawn work money to be deposited to escrow is buyer responsibility if buyer don't go with builder recommended lender, so kind of CHEAP trap.

Built to fast, not everything was completed, still having issues and finding new things wrong! Issues slow to be resolved! Seems like no one cares about the issues at hand. No communication!

Dishwasher that won’t wash dishes, microwave already bad, handles come off refrigerator. On and on and on. Wow.

Horrible Craftsmanship. home was rushed. 1 week after close and we've had major leaks. Worse home buying experience. Will never buy nor recommend a Lennar home again.

Not the best experience for a new home buyer. The quality of the workmanship and resolution of issues was poor.

Poor floor quality no happy with first floor material

As soon as I moved in, a huge leak occurred in the master bedroom shower that caused a lot of damage and the response from Lennar customer service was horrific! The workmanship is terrible it looks like they just cut as many corners as they could. The paint job is horrible, it looks like they did one coat of paint and didn’t do it well you can see white spots everywhere. All of the toilet paper holders and towel holders are loose it looks like they drilled holes bigger than the anchors and just left it like that! The houses are so tight next to each other you can’t even get in and out of your house without almost hitting your neighbors cars. I am extremely disappointed with this builder! ... More

I’m 68 years old they are the worst and cheapest builders of anybody I have ever encountered

We thought highly of Lennar and it was our dream to buy a Lennar Home. The process started with great hopes, agents were really nice. But we face lot of disappointments during construction and post construction. The construction manager is rude, the issues that we reported during construction were denied to be fixed and we got bad treatment from the construction manager. When we moved into our new home, within weeks we started seeing several issues from water softener connection not connected to kitchen, heating connection was not accurately done, our refrigerator loses power every week with out we using any other appliances and many more. The material used in our homes is very poor quality. It's not just our experience, several of my neighbors have same concerns. We are very angry with the construction management and very disappointed in Lennar. Lennar has really degraded its reputation. ... More

The choice of material and poor craftsmanship for the amount of money paid is poor. Everyday we find more and more issues with our home. It takes very long to get responses.

Poor workmanship, poor quality, do not trust to be fixed

Builder was okay to work with. Lack of organization when it came to my closing date due to not having my CO which caused closing to be moved several times. Because I signed a materials shortage addendum some of the materials did not seem to be of equal value as to what was in the model. Mostly pertaining to the showers in the home. Also did not like my new home orientation advisor who was at my walk throughs. He was rude and argumentative throughout the whole process. He would argue about things such as how my elevation should look, which the builder did fix . Then in order to get me to sign off on repairs he sent pictures to me but did not include full pictures disclosing the items were fixed. I refused to sign and he proceeded to tell me to “take it or leave it”. If that wasn’t enough the new home orientation advisor proceeded to tell other homeowners at their orientations about me and our disagreements. The sales associates and builder were nice to work with. But the new home advisor makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it. Really did make me reconsider moving in to a different property. ... More

Lennar builds a poor quality home.

Since moving into my second Lennar home, I have lost all confidence in your workmanship and follow-up to building deficiencies. It took about six weeks to finally get a dishwasher that worked after being given a model that was no longer even sold by GE and they couldn’t find a replacement part; I’ve had multiple doors actually falling off because the screws used are too small (I’m afraid to let my 8 year old near them in fear of them falling on her head!) and these are still unrepaired (4 months and still waiting). The one bright light has been your head maintenance person, who has gone well beyond her responsibilities to correct the many defects. There are many more things I could report, but I have lost faith in your ability to follow-up on things. ... More
