Lennar Reviews

5 different managers..100 calls before response...then weeks before something is complete

I chose a house that was already built. They never did anything I asked on the final walk. After I moved in, I had a lot of issues. They had to replace the vinyl flooring in the house. That was a nightmare experience. I fence is falling apart after only 5 months. I have to have the structure evaluated for a possible foundation issue. I wish they would just take the house back.

VERY POOR COMMUNICATION WITH ON SITE SELLING STAFF. HAVE NOW BEEN INFORMED IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN THE GRASS ON THE PARKING AREA ON THE STREET NEXT TO MY HOME. NEVER TOLD THIS BY LENNAR. NO WATER SOURCE NEAR THE AREA IF I HAD BEEN TOLD THIS I WOULD HAVE NEVER BUILT ON THIS LOT. NOW I AM GETTING FINED AS THE GRASS IN DYING.

I had such high hopes when I put my downpayment on my new townhome. I loved the idea of something that was all mine and that no one had ever lived in before. Additionally, the fact that my home would be a smart home and Lennar's promise that Everything Is Included made it that much more exciting. Sadly, the reality was far from the dream. I'm typing this 5 months after moving into my home and I still have a laundry list of items that need to be addressed from my punch list. I've spoken to countless people with hopes of getting things done, and yet all that tends to happen is that trades people don't show up, do a poor job, or only fix one out of the list of things that need to be addressed. It is a neverending process, and I feel like I'm in the movie, Groundhog's Day. ... More

This isn't my first home with Lennar and I was very happy with my previous purchase but not so happy with my recent purchase. The home has had numerous problems including roof leak. I'm very unhappy and filled with buyer remorse. This will be my last Lennar home.

They won't listen. They don't have any respect for customer.

The purchase, closing and Walk Thru process was excellent. Amazing, smooth and professional experience. However EVERYTHING after has been a stressful, time consuming, unprofessional, unfair, disrespectful nightmare. If I am exaggerating, PLEASE I would welcome your feedback. I will not go into ALL the UNRESOLVED ISSUES at my new LENNAR Home; just going to give you a few examples. There is currently an OPEN Customer Care Ticket for LOTS of water leaking in our garage thru the Front Door pavers. I first reported this on the VERY FIRST DAY I actually moved in (JUNE 8, 2019). I sent a photo of the garage all full of water with the moving companies truck in the background. We could not unload most of our furniture because the garage was all wet. TODAY is SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 and you finally “sealed” the leak about 10 days ago, however the pavers directly infront of our entrance door STILL have not been replaced. However we have opened & closed SEVERAL tickets for this UNRESOLVED issue. Remember I 1st reported this 3 MONTHS AGO on June 8th. Would you call this great customer service for a brand new $450K home or unprofessional, pathetic and disrespectful? I still cannot install ceiling lights or fans because of ANOTHER OPEN TICKET well over two months old. There was water in the ceiling, which accumulated into the light fixtures. I was told it was condensation or the A/C might be leaking etc etc. I was also promised a mold inspection since water sat there for over two months without ANYONE even taking a look in the attic. Over a month ago, several members of your Maintanance team were at my home and we asked to go ahead and remove one of the ceiling fixture in order to see if I could finally install a ceiling fan. When one of your guys removed it, he got “SPLASHED” with water on his face. I believe Carlos Rodriguez, Teo, James and maybe Chris witnessed this. You can ask them if I am lying. TODAY 09/27/19 I still cannot instal a ceiling light or fan. You STILL haven’t done the Mold Inspection. And I am STILL paying $300 a month to have my stuff in storage. So how would you describe Lennar’s Custimer Care? 5-Excellent. 4-Pretty Good. 3-Average. 2-Below Average. Or 1-EMBARRASSING, PATHETIC and DISRESPECTFUL? I feel it it a (1) because there is not a (0). Thanks again for turning our new home buying dream into a nightmare. ... More

Lennar prides themselves as a production home builder to a point where their approach to a home is to build as many homes with the minimal quality and maximum profit that they can get away with legally. Where the buyer and/or potential home owner is simply writing the checks - without input and concern. They set closing dates for acceptance and turnover before the work is complete and/or inspected. They leave behind many conditions of Non-Conforming work like dead trees, code violations, grading problems and leaking roofs / insect infiltration to name just a few. There is nothing in their delivery model where they allow disclosure of their home package - inside and outside or where you can provide your expectations for your new home. You take it or you leave it! Buyer beware in any Lennar community if you value quality, partnership at a fair price. That does NOT exist with anyone at Lennar and their business culture of delivering a good product! ... More

I will never recommend to anyone to buy a Lennar home. The quality of the materials (drywall especially) is pathetic. The workmanship is below average. The trustworthiness is a zero (it wasn't an option). After purchasing the home, all Lennar has done is lie to us. Responsive to issues . . . got to be kidding me. Lennar doesn't respond to issues. Lennar is worthless.

They state they’re the leading builder of QUALITY homes, which demonstrate COMMITMENT to customers, OUTSTANDING construction, and dedication to EXCELLENCE in homebuying. In our experience, they do not practice what they promote or have written as their core priniples; Quality —- Value —- Integrity. From the beginning of our home buying experience (started June 2018), to our current new homeowner status (moved in late spring 2019), we do not find we’ve been given the quality, value or integrity we’ve been promised. As new homeowners we find the “Customer Care Representatives” to need a title change of “Lacking Care Consultants”... they respond ONCE with a “I forwarded the problem to another department”, but they don’t give any other information or solution to your concern/problem...THEN it becomes your job to follow-up, remind them of said issue, document EVERYTHING & include pictures, as well as continue to ask detailed, specific questions, because they respond with a “I haven’t heard anything yet, still waiting”... then give a reason (AN EXCUSE) of why it will take awhile & how we (the customer) need to be patient. Currently we are dealing with flooding issues, and after reaching out to multiple people in Customer Care, the Lennar sales office @ the welcome center, & our HOA, the QUALITY & COMMITMENT to us as customers, and our environmentally protected area (in which the flooding caused major run-off of construction debris & trash to go into the lake, let alone cause damage to our property) seems to be of little VALUE. We did receive ONE response saying they did something to help drain the water, however, the evidence of the clogged grates & TRASH (seriously, they LEFT the trash that is all over the grates), remains exactly the same, even after 5 days. But as Anthony, the Lennar sales guy said, (over a week ago after I HAD TO FOLLOW-UP) “he is doing his best”, ... so that should help to reassure us, as new homeowners, of Lennar’s core principles. ...

Do not close on your home until everything is move in ready. Very inconvenient to try to schedule warranty items.

Issues still not resolved , taking my experience to Washington post paper, npr radio and bbb

This house was put together it seems in a rush. You can see that they put up houses like crazy and not take the time to do things correct. I want a builder that does the job 100% not 60% just to hurry up and put up countless houses. It’s bull. We have had dozens of issues. Nails sticking up through the carpet that you won’t fix. The screen door is not right, the base boards were screwed up, the dry wall is done pisspoor, the threshold by the front door is loose even though they fixed it when it was loose from before. On a good many of the outlets they cut away too much for the socket to go in so there is a small gap, the caulking is horrible throughout the house. List goes on. I was told I can’t write or email or contact anyone who would care so I have to take what fixes you will do and take what things you won’t like the nails sticking through hurting my daughters making them bleed and tip toe on the carpet. That’s bull and I will let every one know not to buy from lennar because they care only for profit and not quality. I’m sure there is other builders that care more about quality then profit. And I will find one for my next house. But you got me tricks on me right. ... More

When I was told by the head of construction for Palm Beach County and also the GC license holder for Lennar, Scott, as well as the head construction supervisor Mack, countless customer service representatives, sales managers and sales people, the construction supervisor at Arden, Daryl (I may have missed a few but) being told that everything would be taken care of but yet waiting over 120 days for punch list items to be remedied as well as countless warranty items, I would say that this has got to be the worst construction company around. When I hand all these people a list with pictures! of well over 400 items that should of and could have been corrected prior to construction being completed, I was told it would all be taken care of and yet if I didnt close that day (March 28, 2019), I would lose my deposit and they would sell this home to someone elsehere so here I am 4 months later still unable to fully move in to my home in fear of damages to my personal property from the reckless sub contractors that are on site still needing to correct many many many many many things at my home. I would welcome the heads of construction for Florida or maybe even nationally to come look at this gem of a home and tell me they would accept this if that was their family that was mistreated like this. Please understand that I have well over 2000 photos as well as over a 100 videos of all the issues that happened with this home before during and after construction. I do have an initial 558 claim that our attorney drafted for us but for some silly reason, I am giving a little more time to this company to correct all of these errors before I commence with the legal activities. This was by for my worst investment and decision of my life and never would I do this again with Lennar. A new home purchase should be fun and exciting not miserable and devastating. ... More

Mistakes all over in what you asked for. . Looks nice until you uncover all the rushed poor workmanship all over the house.. Getting a response to issues is a nightmare with numerous requests needed, supervisors that do not respond, workmen that do not show up, and then you find what is "not covered" you were not told about. Regret purchasing a Lennar home,. .

We have had to file 7 claims to care in 3 months. Lennar refuses to do anything above the minimum to fix. Not something we ever anticipated with a brand new home. Continue to set high expectations and fail to deliver on them.

If you are going to purchase a Lennar home be sure you can be onsite everyday looking at the construction being done. The workmanship was not good on our house and we will be putting in rework tickets the entire year during our warranty period. You also need to do a thorough walk through before you accept the house and pack your patience for closing; just plan on a three hour ordeal. Good luck!

We purchased our house from Lennar about 5 months ago. We identified a lot of issues before the closing date. The builder was not able to fix all of them before the closing date. I signed a document to accept the house and did leave a note in the document that there were things in the punch list that were not completed before the closing date. They told us they were going to fix them after the closing date. For example, there were squeaks throughout the stair landing areas. It took them almost a month to send someone to my house. The contractor replaced several wood planks; however, they left the house without installing the trims, which I left a note in the work order. After 2 months, another contractor came to fix new squeaks identified during the "60-day" punch list and installed the trims in the stair landing areas without painting them. The quality of the wood planks installed in is horrible. You can see different colors and the floor is not leveled. Actually, the "NEW" stair landing areas look older than my previous 20-year old house. I would upload a picture if I can. Additionally, there were squeaks throughout the house. We were so angry to find out that the sub floor on the second floor hallway was not nailed and in fact there was not a single nail in some sub floors. To give you another example, after moving in the house, we noticed that the kitchen sink cabinet was flooded with water and we found that the sink were left unsealed at all. There are so many examples that I can list on and on (e.g., a leaking pipe for the sprinkle system, squeaks under bathroom tiles, giving us a dead tree, water erosion in the back yard etc.).The customer services were horrible as well. The first warranty manager left the company right after we purchased the house. There was no one assigned to us. So nobody came to house to record the 30 day punch list (hence the 60-day punch list before)and all our emails to the warranty manger were not answered. The second warranty manager was responsive hence the two-star rating for responsiveness. Looking back, I am deeply unsatisfied by the builder. They have very nice sales people but the quality of the house is so bad that I would not recommend the builder to my family and people I know. ... More

The construction team is a joke! They do not care about any of your concerns throughout the entire building process. It is only a matter of time before the economy catches up with the condescending attitude of everyone in upper management with Lennar. We pointed out basic failures in construction standards from warped boards in framing through unacceptable drywall finishes all the way to the day of closing. Construction spent more time redoing work than they did with the initial supervision. Job sites were trashed and disregarded by superintendents, every corner that could be cut was cut, and every concern was dismissed when brought to the attention of anyone in customer service. Good luck Lennar, you are going to need it to learn the basic lessons of customer service and trying to restore any value in the future of this home builder. ... More

Very upset at service, would not recommend a Lennar home, because of such low standards.

Everyone has been helpful however the grout in EVERY room is crumbling away and needs to be redone with a better product which is not covered on the warranty. My counter top is sagging and falling apart, I'm afraid to put anything on it. Like I said, everyone I dealt with to buy the house was great, but everything they used to build the house with is cheap and makes me feel like I over paid!

I’ve reported issues prior to moving in that still haven’t been fixed! They keep changing workers that don’t know the previous reported issues! They used recycled wood to rebuild the house which ive asked to be replaced now three times. The cement has a huge bulge in the backyard and they spray painted the ground around the whole house and stained the cement! Paint wasn’t done and they say i have to use my one time touch up to fix it even though it was never done in the first place as well as the grout in the master bathroom. Back slider door doesnt close properly, trim around the whole house not flush with the ground, furnace room door slams when it turns on, besroom door all bowed and asked to be replaced.ive reported all these items since day one with Wade. He promised to fix all these items 4 months ago. Im very disappointed with how this company waits months at a time to fix any problems then pretends they were never mentioned since the beginning before the walk thru. Making me feel All stressed and very unhappy with my new purchase. ... More

Terrible at following up with issues; way too many problems with house due to poor work by contractors and lack of attention to detail. This is the first home I have owned and I did a lot of research before purchasing from Lennar. I am so disappointed. They rushed to have everything done so they could have us in the house by the end of their quarter. I am reminded daily of their sloppy workmanship and how they cut corners to be done on time. Terrible experience and I deeply regret my purchase. Just one example—we have had a roof leak since January and as of today, 6/26/19, the issue has still not been fixed. I feel like since they have our money, they do not care about us any more and will continue to do the bare minimum to address our concerns and complaints until our 1 year home warranty is up and they can officially ignore us! ...

constructions is supper poor, Customer service worst. Sales person no knowledge of product is very minima. I will not recommend to any one to get Lennar property

Be sure to get a private inspector to report poor construction.
