Lennar Reviews

The genex suite keeps tripping breakers. Substituted wooden drawers with plastic. Keep trying to get them replaced. Fireplace was not even connected properly. Still waiting.

On our first walk through, they showed us our house without a driveway, no running water, half of the electricity in the house did not work and we were told we couldn’t walk around outside because it’s “too dangerous”. It never should have been shown to us in that state. The second walk thru was better, however it was very dirty because they never cleaned it. They installed the wrong water heater. The wall above the fireplace heats up to over 200 degrees and we have a huge crack right up the front which we were told Lennar is not interested in finding a solution. Lennar installed one heater thermostat upstairs and the main suite downstairs is always freezing. They should have dual thermostats. The quality of our cabinets are so very poor with peeling and chips. These problems are found in almost every home in phase 1 and 2 and everyone on our block is complaining. There are many more problems not listed. We closed escrow on December 6, 2022 and our water heater was changed out on February 2, 2023. We are still waiting for the rest of the fixes. Lennar used to be a top quality builder, but after this experience, I would not recommend Lennar nor would I buy a Lennar build again. ... More

Unfortunately, when it came to our salesman it was a poor experience. When you re spending well over the amount the house is worth just do to the market you expect professionalism atleast. We had a wonderful experience with our project manager who really was attentive but when it came to customer service provided by sales contact it was extremely poor and unprofessional.

Our experience in buying our new home went south!! Starting with financing department, I thought putting 20% down would allow us to get a conventional loan, with, well it should, but our financial representative didn’t say anything about our loan, we were about to close and he comes up with leaving tax’s and insurance in the payment, which brought up our payment!!! We insisted that with 20% down we would pay our own taxes and insurance!!! Oh my goodness !!!!! I thought I said a bad word!!!! So I told him to rewrite our paperwork without insurance and taxes!!! What a difference!!!! This took about 2 days to rewrite, which we thought it would take about 1 hour especially using a computer!!! And plugging in different numbers for his clients. Finally done!!! His attitude changed with me, no longer friendly, done right not nice!!! He wouldn’t even call me by my name!!!! Unfortunate experience with Lennar Mortgage Second: Our brand new home was infested with RATS due to leaving the molding or foundation outside around the house had 5 holes that were never completed!!! The vent above the air conditioner never had a screen placed so rats had yet another entry into our brand new home!!! Behind the stove the dry wall was never finished!!!! We could see the pipes and gas line exposed so once again another entry for Rats to get in which they did!!! Crawling all over our stove!!! Leaving droppings all over our kitchen, under the sink!!!! How do you cook or eat in this house with infestation of Rats, We found our hallway entrance arch was crocked!!! The dishwasher baseboard was never placed, the base board and screws were left there on the floor as if they forgot to screw it in!!!! How did the McKinney department of buildings sign off to this house!!!’ We are still in the process of meeting with them I’m 70 years old and my husband 80, if those rats bite us we may never get to enjoy our home, we can’t move as quickly as we did 10! years ago, ...

Everything was shiny and painted very pretty in the beginning. Unfortunately that was not the case. My move in date was pushed back multiple times, I was asked to close on the home prior to having the keys to the home. I found many errors during the walk through and was told the errors would be completed prior to my celebration. On celebration day the errors were not completed and I continued to find more defects, and was told to submit warranty tickets. My kitchen is still missing cabinet doors. Lennar gave me the keys to my house knowing the house was not ready and not build to standard. This is an extremely overpriced house and they sell it has if you are getting high-end finished and appliances and that is not the case. Very disappointed and upset. ... More

I will never recommend or purchase another home from this company. These people are a joke unresponsive poor workmanship failure to perform repair, show up without materials. I had to remove my own tub and replace it because they failed to do that. Remove my own cracked tile and replace them, I would never recommend you to build a dog kennel for me or do anyone else

The house was delayed 3+ months with no satisfactory explanation. We scheduled closing, all processes started and then Lennar moved closing without notifying me. I learned through my insurance agent who got an email to hold the insurance policy. We didn't have CO until the morning of closing. Final walk through never happened, I signed things online for the sake of closing on this house. The sales team, construction and warranty team were so disconnected, it's unreal. Quality and especially craftsmanship, horrible for Lennar brand name. A handyman would do better and take more pride in their work. I've bought 7 homes, this is my first and last with Lennar. ...

Lennar does not care about the home buyer. Everything they do is based on what is good for them. Construction issues that should have been fixed were just covered up. Floors slope, doors don't close, holes not patched. They talk a good game but don't come through on anything. We've waited nearly 2 months to get items fixed, including a leaky shower that will cause more damage. There is no one who respond to requests. The "client service" person has disappeared.

I'd love to share photos of the subpar workmanship throughout the entire home. From cracked drywall and ceilings, uneven and poorly installed crown moldings and baseboards, sloppy painting, unfinished lanai patio and concrete areas, cracked garage floors, doors installed incorrectly, missing towel and toilet paper holders, chipped tiles, and the list goes on and on. Check your included options on your contracts and make sure you get everything on that list before you close. This will be my first and last Lennar home. Lesson learned!!!

The quality of our home is less than satisfactory. It seems Lennar chooses to use too many inexperienced craftsmen and ultimately cannot deliver the quality of home you pay for. Finish work is definitely an area where they need to use more experienced craftsmen. Drywall finish, trim, painters, tile and cabinetry installation are all areas that NEED better QC focus, And Caulking cannot be the answer to every crack and crevice. The paint used is just contractor grade and any little bump or touch leaves a mark than cannot be wiped off or out. Nice looking homes and good layout/designs - just wish Lennar would improve the Quality of their work and you got what you paid for. ... More

We are very disappointed in the quality of workmanship and the quality of materials and appliances used. We moved in six weeks ago and have had dozens of issues with defective appliances, broken items, missing mirrors, cabinets & other items. The response time has been very bad and we feel like we have been forgotten

The process of picking out and paying for the home was simple enough however the contact for using lennar mortgage and getting the unfinished work completed has been another story. Lennar pushes incentives to close quicker but did not use them, I ask to buy down the rate but all they did was 1/8 point leaving over $10k of incentive unused. The other item pushing the close was that the property was unfinished and I have yet to hear back on when it will be completed. Lennar needs to have better customer service!

Workmanship in every aspect poor quality. Poor response to the issues of the house before closing and after. Damage appliances were place in the house which Lennar has not taken care of. Exterior damage to appliances Frigidaire will not cover under the warranty

I have many outstanding items on my punch list--such as my deadbolts don't work. a cabinet door is damaged, poor shelving has left holes in the wall and the subs they want to send out only work Monday-Friday from 8-4 and are totally impossible to book. It is a nightmare. I took the day off work and the folks came to fix the deadbolts and they brought the wrong equipment-- meaning I have take another day off work with no consideration of my time and danger in living in a house with inoperable dead bolts. Do not sign the closing papers until everything is fixed. They DO NOT uphold their warranty. ... More

Very disappointed with Lennar. Everything in the house looks like low quality. The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything. Doors are extremely light weight. Only one internet port in the whole house. Sprinklers don’t work from day 1. When asked was told its not covered under warranty.

I would not recommend. Workmanship is poor quality, finding more and more issues as we get more settled- poor painting, lots of seal and caulk issues, cabinet colors don’t match, mouse infestation, the list goes on and on. Not all issues are covered which makes it more frustrating. Major issues with hot water, recently fixed after enormous gas bill. Working with Jonathan now on warranty items and he has been great thus far! Lennar should spend a bit more time in the details of the home prior to close and move-in. The walk through is very difficult as they are showing you all of the amenities and doing the walk through at the same time. Sharon was our walkthrough rep and she was good at making excuses for things that were clearly broken and needing a fix- example- gentleman was power washing our pack porch and a flood of water came under the door- I asked if that would be fixed and she attempted to convince me if was normal from water pressure and would not put it in the list for repair. During the 2nd walk through, construction manager- Juan- confirmed it did require weather stripping, after I asked about it. Doing the right thing the first is key in customer service and business especially on a $460K plus purchase! Right now, wouldn’t recommend to a friend and wouldn’t buy again with Lennar. ... More

From day one, you're on your own! NHCs are worthless. Male construction manager won't talk to you and ignores emails. Responsiveness is slim to none. Too many mistakes were made, and when you point them out, they get mad and ignore you even more. The only time you hear from Lennar is when they want money. Otherwise, you remain in limbo for the duration of construction. The most unfriendly builder (except for one concierge) in NV, and I've dealt with several over the last 30+ years. If not for the floor plan and location, I would have cancelled my contract and walked away. If you don't care about communication or workmanship, and plan to stay silent the entire time, they you'll be fine. If not, just know that you'll have to be your advocate by keeping an eye on things on a weekly basis, especially towards the end. And know that there are NO options. The entire experience was extremely frustrating and disheartening, especially for the price that you pay...and never know what's going on. ... More

The agent handling our purchase, Danette, was excellent. She was very responsive and handled our needs very professionally. The house has an excellent floor plan and lot. However, no quality assurance of the work was performed. The house should not have passed occupancy inspection due to no water to the kitchen through the hot water line. A closet door was a single, instead of a double door per the house plan. Cabinet doors were poorly aligned. Guest bath vanity drawers did not close due to improperly placed water line. Garage door did not align with pavement, resulting in a gap. Shrubs were planted poorly, 2 were close to dead when planted. Doorbell did not work. Shower glass did not get installed until 2 weeks after closing. Ground was not leveled prior to installation of sod; lack of completion of sod installation resulted in failure of initial occupancy inspection. Mailbox was not installed until a week after closing; USPS was not aware of address and mail that was forwarded from home was sent back. Had to close with all these items on an "exception list", no money withheld in escrow, We are one week shy of 2 months since closing and only the following corrections were completed: shower glass, hot water to kitchen (2 weeks after closing), and cabinet alignment. Bathroom waterline was corrected, but necessitated cutting a hole in adjoining bedroom; hole filled, waiting on painter (supposed to be here today). All corrections required daily calling of construction managers. There are many other items on the exception list, still awaiting action. Lennar defined the closing date, not the buyer, and without regard to time required to complete the work so that the house was ready for occupancy by the closing date. In fact, the letter from Lennar stated that the buyer should not plan on moving into the house on the date of closing. ... More

Not impressed at all. Leading up to our closing we had nothing but problems that weren't completely address by the time we closed and had to be addressed after moving in. Had a water leak within days of closing which has now caused a mold issue that is taking weeks to even address and our new home being torn apart. Build quality overall for the purchase price is not great in my personal opinion, for example we didn't even get a screen door included with a sliding patio door, cabinets are poor quality, majority of second floor has squeaky loose subfloor, cheap laminate floors and cheap carpet throughout. I would not buy another home from Lennar. ... More

If i didn't need to move i would not have closed on this home. Did the walk through and marked issues. Came back to check the work and they created more issues. Filled 1in gaps with caulk. Cut into siding above where the repair was. Pained over areas of repair outside and the paint does not match. Told us to wait 1 month to see if colors match after a month. Paint still does not match. They said if it didn't match they would repaint the house. Still waiting. Our sod sat on palets for 5 days before they installed. I have watered 2x day everyday as instructed but it is still dead. I WOULD NOT EVER RECOMMEND LENNAR. The model homes are beautiful but you do not get the same workmanship on your home. ... More

It was shared with us that our closing date was moved up due to Lennar’s goal to have 12 homes completed for the quarter. As a consequence, the home was not prepared for the final walk through due to incomplete or poorly completed work. Our realtor had to intervene on our behalf several times to ensure we were sold a home safe enough for occupancy. Paint was on the carpet, dirt from construction was everywhere in the home, the garage was not placed correctly on the track and still remains the same more than 30 days from time of closing, outlet coverings were missing, miscellaneous extra hardware was left in drawers, there were numerous holes in the walls with visible spider webs and ants crawling out. There is still construction underway and a worker threw the protective paint covering from the adjacent house onto our fence. We informed the on-site manager and more than a week later, the paint remains on our fence. This by far has been my most house buying experience. ... More

I was waiting for this review to come to my email because I have a lot to say about Lennar. First off, during the building process we noticed that there was a "water leak" that was seeping and noticeable in our drywall. Lennar said not to worry and did nothing but touch it up with paint. The craftsmanship around the edges on doors and walls is very poor especially with the fact that it is a BRAND NEW home for the price we are paying. During construction we were told that we were not allowed to come see the progress on our home without a lennar employee, We scheduled a visit 3 times with our sales person to come out with us and NOT a single time did they follow through with that and we walked our home alone. Lastly, we were just supposed to have our 30 day paint touch up meeting with the customer cares team. I had to take off of work for this day to make sure someone was home. No one ever showed up to my home and I was very disappointed in this because I made time for them, but they never have made time for me. I will do my paint touch ups myself. I would never buy a used or new lennar home again and will never reccomend lennar to a friend. If I could put 0 stars on some ratings, I would. ... More

Our Lennar home-buying experience can be summed up in two sentences… Lack of communication!!! Poor attention to construction detail!! From the moment we signed the agreement to purchase our new home build, to settlement, we felt like we were left in the dark and unvalued!!! NOT ONCE during the nine month construction did we hear from our sales person with a construction update. We felt fortunate that we lived close by so that we could stop and monitor the progress. Several times we stopped by and noticed issues. We brought the issues to the attention of the Project Manager only to fall on deaf ears. Now all those issues are being handled by the warranty department. I am happy to report that the warranty department has stepped up, listened and is addressing our issues. They are on task and handling the pre-settlement construction flaws (of which there are many). While Lennar chooses to do business this way is puzzling. One would think Lennar cared about their reputation and would handle the issues prior to settlement so that they had happy customers. I would be surprised if the CEO of Lennar would except such poor communication and construction standards on the build out of their home. My guess is that they would, like us, not feel valued and heads would roll if they receive such poor treatment. ... More

The quality of the house is very very low. It was my second home purchase and found very low quality material and definitely used unprofessional labor to construct these houses. During my orientation I put correction items, but guess how much additional correctional items they added. It was so frustrating dealing with all these and pushing further out to correct and looks like they will never get done. They missed a lot of items to install in the house. PAINTS ALL OVER CARPET, DOOR KNOB, Tiles, vent hood,

During the buying process we never received updates from the building manager, although we were promised that we would receive weekly updates. At the initial walk-through, there was a long list of punch items to be done. We were promised they would be done by the closing the following Wednesday, when we arrived at the closing walk-through 90% of items were still incomplete, including zero appliances. We agreed to close with the understanding that all issues would be completed by Friday. 2 months later we still have a long punch list of items that are not complete. We never met the construction manager, even though we asked multiple times to meet with him. I could go on but I have little confidence that this survey will receive any attention. ... More
