Lennar Reviews

Terrible craftsmanship and faulty work

Don’t expect service after they have your money. We closed 1st week of Feb 2021 still waiting for them to complete work orders for repair or correction of items in build. Less then half have been completed or started. Items like door cracked, bad refrigerator, drywall repair. painting are just a few things. This is mid June 2021. Great place to live great lot. Extremely stressful when you paid for something you did not get and promises broken. Our Construction Manager was good then got overwhelmed with other new builds. Not enough help to take care of homeowners who already paid!

I did the walkthrough inspection in Nov. 2020 with issues of back door. I closed Jan 2021 and here I am end of May 2021 and back door STILL is not fixed by now needs to be replaced because of they’re 3 trips out they STILL cannot do right by me. The new homeowner of a NEW HOME. This has put a thorn in my home buying experience with Lennar

As a Experienced Homeowner I was Very disappointed with the builder’s team. Outside Financing, if at Possible regardless of the “Builders Incentive”it’s not worth it you will pay in the end. With a large down payment I still have a (PMI)! After you have finalized the purchase of your New Home your concerns will be slow with Repairs & Warranties. Not Timely! The concept of a NextGEN home is awesome, But the Quality of the building materials are Inexpensive and Cheap, (Cabinets). Small bedrooms and garage. Upgrades are sold to you as a packaged. No flexibility or choice. Very limited. Home buying is one of the Largest Purchase It should come with Longevity, Satiability of workmanship, and Quality! ... More

Our experience is anything than positive. What I find the most interesting is I’ve already filled out a review, and it was not positive, and yet I’ve never heard from anybody regarding that.

I am not very happy!!!!!!!!!

The process in the application was ok, however, information regarding what was covered and offered, was not clearly explained. The price for HOA dues were incorrectly quoated which caused some descrepiency with the HOA once moved in, HOA stating the price was higher. I have yet to speak to a HOA Rep. with a live voice, I only get e-mails, which some are just a paste and resend copy from a previous onversation. There were issues such as broken blind, structural repairs needed, paint issues, wiring issues, grass spots missing in yard which is still messed up and it has been 5 months. The insulation is weak. You can hear conversations throughout the house from upstairs to downstairs. During the WALK-Thru, we were informed by Construction Rep., all issues be taken care of after the closing, it is quite apparent it was not, and just a, if we get you to sign, our job is done. The house is a beautiful plan, but extremely "POORLY" built in construction. The Money that is spent to to purchase what we thought would be our "Dream Home" has been dampen by the issues, and the process in getting the issues corrected. In "Hind-Sight", I almost regret cancelling my Agreement with Taylor Morrison Homes, the construction and warranty of the home was "Elite". Lennar offered more features, but, is it worth the long-term hassels? I guess you would have to turn the old saying around, "You Don't Get What You Pay For" !! ... More

We closed on our house in September and there is still items from our walkthrough that have not been corrected. Lennar doesn’t care about us as customers AFTER we sign on the dotted line! The workers that they have working for them are horrible and do horrible work! Moving here from Atlanta, we always heard good things about Lennar but from this experience we will never buy a Lennar home again. We are active duty military and shared our experience with fellow service members as well.

Sales experience was great. The construction managers have been horrible, do not do what they say they are going to do and have zero follow up, I have over 15 hollow tiles in my house that I’ve been trying to get fixed for almost 6 months. I’m still missing parts to my cabinets. Worst construction management team I have ever dealt with.

I closed on my house in May of 2019, and I have had issues with the workmanship of the building. The punch list that was submitted isn't even half done and it is now November 21 2019. Be aware of the lack of urgency once you close.

Moved in and within 30 days, I noticed the driveway is cracking (not covered under their warranty, but they are ripping out and repouring the other driveways that haven't been sold.. So maybe you'll be lucky) Central Air was mis-wired and needed a service call to wire correctly, took three weeks to come out. Several electrical breakers continue to pop with any type of wind, other homes owners report the same issue. Already had to replace two of the LED hall/bedroom lights having them burnt out and they are not of a bulb replacement style. When they are burnt you'll need to replace the whole fixture. Several spots of poor finish work on the texture coating. Master Bath tile has an air pocket under it and it pops from time to time, reported before closing and never fixed. Still waiting on my kitchen cabinet door to be replaced from closing inspection still has the green inspection tape on it. Rust spots on the front stoop noticed before closing, so they scim coated the surface... now that coating is coming off in patches...since it's concrete it's most likely also not covered with their warranty. Several sprinklers are leaking from their heads up to an hour after shut off. Other homes have same issues. Water ain't cheap here folks.... ... More

Not worth the hassle. To many unresolved issues. No honest answer about anything.

Where to start...cheap cabinets with very poor installation (lots of exposed raw wood, drawers that don't close properly) poorly installed island countertop, cracks in drywall and cement, major ant problem, refrigerator circuit breaker flipped twice in first few months, and what makes it even worse is that Lennar does not follow through on repair requests. I get the feeling they hope I'll get tired of asking and just give up.

I just purchased the house in April 2025, and we moved in on May 1st. However, I’ve already noticed several issues. The exterior paint is fading, and there are cracks all over the outside walls. The existing flooring is covered in linoleum, so I replaced it. I also repainted the interior walls because the original paint was dull. The bottom of the kitchen cabinets is falling apart. On a positive note, the lighting in the is good.

I bought this home, thinking that it was a quality built home. However, after my walk-through and their repairs were done, they left paint speckles all throughout my floor in my home. When I called to let them know about these paint speckles all over the floor of my brand new home. I was told it was my problem now. 2) Wind storm came through less than a month after I bought my home. I was told they would not cover it because there was an excess of 70 mph wind gusts. However, after the insurance inspection and an inspection by a professional roofing company, I was told that the roof was improperly installed. There were overdriven nails, under driven nails, shingles that were placed upside down, shingles that are not straight aligned(they go down and up) and shingles where the plastic was not removed so they will not adhere properly. I have yet to hear anything back from Lennar. and being that it is the season of rain and hail and wind. I am now risking further damage to my brand new home. Lennar does not seem to care about this since they’ve already sold me the home. Getting them to honor their poor workmanship seems impossible. This experience has been horrible and I will never buy Lennar again. In fact, I encourage anyone else to steer clear from buying Lennar. In my experience, they do not back their workmanship on their brand new homes. ... More

I would not recommend anyone to Lennar. Quality issues and an electric water heater that sounds like a compressor. Electricity bill 4xs the amount of my neighbors. Ridiculous experience.

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of construction in my brand-new home from Lennar. The HVAC system is not working properly and fails to provide adequate air circulation to the second floor, making it uncomfortably warm and nearly uninhabitable. This is a basic issue that should have been addressed before the home was handed over. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue, the builder has not provided a satisfactory solution. I expected much better quality and service for a new home and am very frustrated with this experience. I do not recommend this builder to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable home. ... More

The homes are built as fast as they can with little care for quality work and it shows. They don't care about working with the buyers and threaten to charge them if the closing date has to be moved because we couldn't make the NHO even though they knew we couldn't make from the beginning. The flooring was put in and it is all wavy and covered in glue and has to be ripped out and redone. We showed up the day we closed and there was trash all over the place and after a month of requesting it get cleaned up I was told no one was going to clean it up so I had to clean it up. The construction manager stated a few times that code is one way but Lennar does it a different way so I don't even know how it passes inspection. The communication between the departments is horrible. They made a huge deal about how we can't move the NHO and then they didn't even let the Construction Manager know it was scheduled so we show up and the house wasn't even ready and was a complete mess. When we went under contract they stated SOD would be installed 5-7 days after closing. We closed 45 days after going under contract and then they say oh by the way you are not getting SOD for 2-3 months because your county is in a drought. Not a big deal but they knew that all along but waited until we closed to tell us. ... More

I knew that Lennar had problems because all builders do, but I didn't realize how bad it is. These lower rated reviews never get seen on the site. I checked. The only reason I gave two stars was because at least the "construction manger" gave me an online tour before purchase. Since then, it's been one problem after another- flooding, cupboards falling down, tile issues, electrical issues. dead palm tree,, half painted woodwork. just total crappy workmanship all around. Then, when a "warranty order" is submitted, it's one excuse after another. "It's cosmetic- we don't cover it". "We don't cover trees"- Well, YOU incorrectly planted the tree and it died. I paid for it and I want the tree I paid for. Leak in a bathroom light, major cracks in the concrete, I could go on. My advice, don't waste your life savings on a Lennar home. It's financially, physically and emotionally draining to have to go thru this. ... More

We do enjoy our house but the hassle and problems we have had in just the first weeks alone are worrisome. To start from the very beginning we never heard from our mortgage loan officer. We reached out multiple times and never heard anything until the day of our closing. He sent us an email only to say our mortgage lender was changing. We did our blue tape walk through a week before our closing date. They completely disregarded everything that was blue taped. When we went to our new home orientation the day we closed there was still blue tape everywhere. Mud on the carpet, cracked windows, paint scuffs, floor scratches, dust everywhere etc. I pointed out multiple times how trims and doors were cut uneven. Darryl said he would have it fixed... never did. They definitely never sent out a cleaning crew. The day of orientation Daryl had a cleaning crew come and all they had with them was fabulouso and a rag. No vacuum mop or anything to clean up from the builders. To make matters worse our basement had leaks that no one caught. Darryl said he would bring people over to fix everything… and again he never did. We thought he had our best interest by saying all the things would get fixed but as soon as he left our new home orientation we never heard from him again. After putting in a warranty ticket we were connected with Scott. While Scott did bring out a team of people over there is still so much that was missed after our blue tape walk through. We are still waiting on the replacement windows that were supposedly ordered by Darryl the day we closed. Our basement still has leaks that will need a crew to be sent out. A few days after we moved in we had a leak come through into our kitchen. Luckily Scott was responsive and had a team out to get everything fixed. After closing Darryl let us know that in 60 days he would contact us about a crew coming to address any concerns that came up with our first few months of living here. To no surprise still no contact with Darryl. Lennar builders took little pride in building our home. Very sloppy work. Very concerning for a new build home. ... More

Issues began the first day we moved in. Within the month we’ve lived here we have had a major water leak. Slow response times to fix the issue. The items we discussed in the walkthrough were not fixed and our move in day was awful because of it. We are even considering legal action at this point because the leak was brought up in the inspection and lennar breached its contract by lying to us and telling us it was fixed and addressed when it clearly wasn’t. Do not recommend this company to anyone and this seems to be a similar issue with our neighbors. Really disappointed wish we could take it back and go with another builder. ... More

My experience has being unbelievably horrifying. And that’s saying the least. 2nd day moving into the house, a major leak started from a less than par poor job done on the upstairs bathroom. Leak went into the kitchen. Then it went down from there, from broken leading faucet, landscape mishap, broken things everywhere. Just a disappointing experience that’s distasteful.

Lennar has cut costs on so many fronts, as cheap as failing to give garage door opener keypad. Windows Sil, cap/trim for half wall, opener for third car garage, window in the stair area, cover for patio, retaining wall for slopy backyard, soft close for the kitchen cabinet doors & drawers are all missing. The quality of workmanship & materials is very poor. Response to issues takes months!

Build Quality is a 2/10, and that’s being generous. They cut corners and use the cheapest options available. Communication is often short and their staff will not give you a concrete answer about any issues. The contractors leave out a lot of trash, food, and building materials, and when it blows into your yard or property area, they do not care and do not clean it up. The sod/grass they gave our entire community was dead upon arrival and it took them over a month to deliver it when it was supposed to be delivered 5-12 days after closing. Our home was not cleaned prior to our arrival; it had construction dust everywhere, sticky spots all over the floor, and stains in our carpet. These homes are way over priced for the quality they provide. Lennar also tried to deny me my right to a second inspection until my realtor fought with them and showed them the law. If you can, pick anyone other than Lennar! ... More

Can’t believe Lennar would want me to reiterate the nightmare of an experience home buying at Willow Springs has been. Fraudulent actions on so many levels, and a home that has had numerous issues within the first week of moving in. Non responsive customer service department. Love the location, but absolutely shocked at the multitude of issues upon move in, and the fact that they are still unresolved six weeks later!
