Lennar Reviews

Build quality and attention to detail was lacking. Be certain to make sure your house is completely finished before closing as they will attempt to rush it off the books. Once closed everything has to go through warranty. Interior painting option of very low quality. Save yourself money and have someone do it right the first time. They give you a credit to buy a gallon of paint but this will not match properly. I could go on but I’m sure other comments will address other issues.

We purchased a new build Lennar home. We loved the layout of the house and the community is just what we were looking for. So, put up with the months of construction delays (not all of Lennar's fault) which forced us to live in a campground for 3 months. We moved into a very dirty house, It was not cleaned well after construction. Dust on all the walls, showers, counters and cabinets. The floor tile was not cleaned either. (paint and left over grout everywhere) So, our first few days in our brand new home was spent cleaning. We then started noticing several poor construction issues. Door frames not installed correctly and the floor tile is a disaster. The hot water to then kitchen sink does not work properly. Base boards defective. Poor job done by painters. Driveway looks terrible. Tons of drywall issues. We have had three different customer care reps already in the past 4 months. They do stay in communication with us and try to have all the issues corrected. I feel they are just as frustrated as we are. Unfortunately. we have had to spend most of our days off at home waiting for repairs to be done. We are still fighting with Lennar and the flooring company on fixing the tile which is painful to walk on. The carpet was laid on top of construction debris, Not going to worry about that since we plan on installing upgraded carpet soon. It is just upsetting that we found a house we really liked after two years of looking and we walk into one problem after another. If I could have a do over, I would look for a different builder. But we don't have that option and will have to live with what we got. ... More

We've had nothing but problems since the day of closing when we walked in for final review and none of the issues had been corrected. I could give a whole list of issues and problems that almost 5 months in we are still trying to get taken care of. Seems like every time we get one resolved, another issue shows up. I wouldn't recommend them.

Once the agreement was signed it has been nothing but a hassle with Lennar. Homes are delivered with a “it’s good enough” standard. Communication is close to nonexistent and it’s a tough and long process to get them to do anything. I guess they are hoping people would give up and deal with things. Lennar is all about the quick turnover and sales. Not quality and customer service. Won’t recommend or buy a Lennar home ever again.

I have popping drywall throughout home. Lennar came in to fix 1st room and rate fix 2 out of ten. Did not report for rest of house based on this 1st fix. Granite on island has bad joint that is visible. Another bad fix! This is my 3rd build and absolutely not a good value for the quality.

Builders rush instead of ensuring quality products. The level of professionalism is below standard. Communication between all parties in the process is poor. If you have a new build, expect significant delays from the original move in date. I could go on, but basically expect to be disappointed and don’t set your expectations high.

4 months in new home and things are falling apart already. Cheap products were used.

Still trying to get home issues cleared. Corrections are made but require additional follow up that has to be requested. Don't feel any urgency or pride in workmanship

Don't expect your house to be built of the same quality as purchasing from single person or smaller company. You can end up with a good home as long as you're willing to go through the battle of dealing with warranty work. We had a good experience with our second sales rep and our warranty service.

Sales Person and Warranty Rep were good and professional. Overall it was a mediocre to poor experience. I think Lennar's extremely inflexible polices along with their "anything to gouge out a buck" corporate greed mentality make it hard to rate it a good or great experience.

Low quality company

We were very excited to have Lennar build our new home. However, we encountered many obstacles and were pretty much told deal with it or find another location to build. Warranty items take time to rectify. In the end, we have a beautiful new house that we hope to enjoy for years to come.

Communication and response time is horrible for any warranty work needed. We were promised several things from first warranty guy then he was switched to different property and new guy has no idea about anything. Wait time to get items addressed and taken care of is ridiculous. We have asked to speak with supervisor verbally, through text, and via emails. No response on that yet either.

Everything is falling apart! Too many issues to have only been here 4 months!!!!

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.
