Lennar Reviews

The quality of EVERYTHING in my home is garbage. My experience with Lennar has not been a good one.

I knew I felt hesitant about closing on the house the day of closing, and now I regret choosing Lennar. At this point, I can confidently say that I would not recommend to family or friends. We completed a walkthrough on the house and spent hours putting blue tape on poor quality issues, only to have a small amount of it fixed by day of closing. When this was expressed, warranty rep and supervisor probably worried we would back out, called people out ASAP to fix issues on the spot while we drove to our closing appointment. To my surprise, everyone left with all the work untouched and at that point it was too late because closing was finalized. Since that moment, I felt that fixing my house would become an issue as they can't schedule till weeks out and I did not realize what a waste of time it would become. I tried to be patient over the many issues I faced; MULTIPLE missed appointments, they give you a 8am-12pm appointment time slot, then sometimes don't show up. I spent many of my days off, waking up early and waiting on people to come. People even show up without an appointment on random days when I'm not home. Poor communication. Flooring people missed two appointments..but then on the third one they were able to fix the floors which was great. I did not use my main shower for the first 3 weeks after closing due to poor quality and holes in shower tiles. Painters don't take off shoes when entering home to go upstairs on carpet. I had electricians come fix my outlets and I asked painters to take covers off before painting and they ignored my request and painted over it, making it very unsightly. When I asked them why they didn't take the covers off, he laughed at me and said "its never going to be perfect". I don't expect perfect but I would hope for BASIC quality for the price of the house, not a giant outlet with goopy paint. I would honestly do it myself if Jake brought over the can of paint he said he would give me but never did due to a family emergency. I try to appreciate all the work they've done so far, but I wonder how things would've been different with better quality, efficiency, and communication. Cabinets are all dented/scratched, they touch it up and they still look bad.. still in the process of replacing some doors. The list goes on. Jake was excellent at addressing most of my concerns and responded in a timely manner, but he had a family matter with time off work and I had to resubmit all my claims which further delayed the whole process. What got me to write this review today? Another missed appointment and no communication about it. I always see bad reviews about Lennar online, but I was hoping this community would have been different, very disappointed. ... More

Flat white paint on walls! Really No light fixtures or fans? Really You call yourself a quality builder? Terrible customer service. No updates on status. Treat customers very poorly.

Communication was absolutely horrible through the home buying process. My close date was changed more than half a dozen times and we were over 1 yr delayed, I received a house with many issues that are still being resolved including exposed electrical wires, unfinished kitchen cabinets, etc. The warranty team takes quite a long time to resolve problems when something is submitted. Lots of corners were cut and it was a very unpleasant experience overall.

Do not buy, run away. Sales team made false promises, they are just looking for your money. No quality and construction issues left and right. Tile issues, plumbing issues, poor worksmanship, cutting corners everywhere. They want to save on everything.just expect atleast 4walls.

I closed on a townhouse on Dec. 30 and there were many problems (interior bifold doors missing, missing bath vanity, missing trim pieces, ants and spiders everywhere, etc) Plus, the overall job was extremely sloppy and unacceptable. I have spent the last two months trying to get the multitude of issues corrected so I can rent out the house. To date I have lost 2 months of rent. I had a guy come over to fix the weather strip on my front door and the door fell off because the two screws he used in each hinge (instead of 5 screws) were only half an inch long. I had a guy come over to fix a large gap in the front porch paver stones - he did a horrendous job and there is still a gap. I had a guy come over to look at the main floor bathroom pedestal sink which has a brown streak that is under the ceramic coat and he agreed that it its under the glaze and can't be removed....yesterday I got a call from another guy who said the first guy is new so he wants to try to get the brown streak out. Unbelievable.....How many guys need to look at it before they realize it's not removable - its part of the sink. The toilet installers used grout around the base of the toilets instead of caulking them, there's paint dripped all over the carpet because the painters don't use drop cloths, paint on the light fixtures in the bathrooms, paint on the switch plates, etc, etc. We've bought and sold many houses and have never seen such shoddy work. Im really disappointed that Lennar is continuing to put up townhouses all around my unit at a rapid rate yet can't find people to take care of their customers who have already paid for their home. P.S. There are bifold doors in boxes at my house for several weeks now and no one has come to paint them so they can be installed. ... More

I am a single mom of two who lived with family for many years in order to save to be able to buy a home. I shopped for a house for a solid year before deciding on one. Lennar took what should have been an exciting and happy event and turned it into the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! From a botched initial closing that I literally wasted an entire day off from work for to a rushed closing 2 weeks later with no New Home Orientation (and still haven't gotten one even though I've requested it several times). Drywall work throughout the house is aweful, the wrong cabinets were installed in part of my kitchen and the wrong vanity in my guest bath... which I had to figure out for myself by looking at neighbors with same floorplan. I also had to discover myself via neighbors that they completely forgot to install my attic access in my garage. Trim work throughout the home is crappy with dents and nails left sticking out. Absolutely no attention to detail in a house that was $$$$. My CM had the tactics of a used car salesman. I wish I could say the warranty side performed better but that's been aweful as well. Almost 4 weeks since turning in items and not a single thing fixed to date nor even scheduled. My advice - DONT BUY LENNAR UNLESS YOU HAVE TO FOR LOCATION REASONS (like myself). If you do, make sure you don't sign anything until everything is complete and 100% happy ... no matter what they promise you! ... More

Lazy and did the bare minimum when it came to supervision of subcontractors. It definitely shows in the final product. Quality and schedule both suffered. The quality is a C- at best and the schedule was non existent. Lennars best quality is the community that’s all, as far as a builder the peopl from start to finish do no justice for the brand. I would not recommend

Owner, in Babcock Ranch

Bad quality construction, cheap products. Lennar has very customer service and zero post-sale commitment. There is no SLA for the resolution of the issues. Uneven flooring, lousy painting, cracks on the walls.

Lennar is TERRIBLE. They would say anything just to get your foot in the door and the contract signed. Then they delay and delay. They even take away promised features just to get the unit “completed” quickly. They promised the Flo water shut off, then didn’t install it because “they ran out”. On the day of closing, I pointed out that my roof is missing ALL circulation vents, and they responded “oh we must have ran out” but I forced them to install it. Warranty team doesn’t want to fix anything, and are not nice. Overall experience was terrible. No communication, and terrible build quality. During our walkthrough, Christine the fat agent kept trying to deter me from pointing out faults. She kept blaming issues and missing features on “HOA wont allow us to do this and that” but other homes had those features she stated were not allowed. A bunch of misleading greedy lazy employees. I would never go with a Lennar home again. If I can go back in time, I would have picked a different builder. Thanks for nothing, Lennar! ... More

The worst company to deal with I would never recommend anyone to buy from Lennar Lennar is garbage worst ones

Worst experience ever, they don’t even deserve one star. Stay away from Lennar DO NOT buy a house from this builder

I bought my 1st house in 2018 and that was from Lennar Construction. We liked a lot and that quality of construction and service made us to go again with Lennar for my 2nd house too. From the the beginning till closing, started facing issues both from Sales and Construction Manager (CM) and they were very arrogant in not responding in addressing our concerns/clarifications. CM gave us false promises and made us hurry during final walkthrough and promised in addressing few concerns but never responded later. Not only me, but even my neighbors are also victims in facing the similar issues. And this will definitely let Lennar down to move from a premium builder grade to lower grade and Lennar is not going to be a 1st choice for home buyers. ... More

What an absolute nightmare of a home, DO NOT BUY! This is hands down the worst home I’ve ever been in. From the terrible experience with their mortgage team, to getting left high and dry on terrible workmanship, I absolutely do not suggest you buy a Lennar home. Everything on my house was done last minute slapped together and I’ve just taken the beating because it looked good for a solid second. Giant moat in backward won’t get fixed so I’m stuck with a huge landscaping bill. Entire house covered in huge cracks, trim separations, and nail pops which won’t be fixed because it’s “cosmetic.” Roof line has serious sags and they won’t fix the sod in the front yard that was destroyed during our walk through with one of their trucks. I’ll be selling this dumpster as soon as I fix all this mess. STAY AWAY! ... More

The quality is very poor, and it has not been repaired until now

The house is supposed to be new and without problems, on December 9 I did the closing and there were some things to fix. The engineer in charge of the house promised that he would fix the house in a matter of weeks, as of today, January 31, the house remains the same and both the engineer and the customer service person are still missing without letting me know when they are going to fix it. the problems that the house has. The treatment that my wife and I have received in a matter of the house is incredible. It is unacceptable that they have a group of people working without caring about the things they do. This will be the last time I buy a house with Lennar. ... More

I would not suggest a Lennar home to anyone. There is no quality in our Lennar home. The shoddy work, incompleted work, no attention to detail, horrible mistakes that were left, horrible painting job, etc. I can go on and on. #donotbuyLennar is what I plan to go viral with. I have nails coming out of the stairs (that I stepped on), nails coming through cabinets (that I've cut my finger on). The lack of attention to detail is horrible. I need to put a sign in my front yard to warn potential buyers to stay away from Lennar. Everyone I speak with who are looking for a new construction, I advise them of the horrible home I am dealing with. I absolutely would not recommend a Lennar home to anyone; and Lennar should be ashamed of themselves for allowing contractors to do the shoddy work. I am definitely going to use my new as a resource for others to NOT buy Lennar. It's sad that I have crooked walls, places where the structure does not even meet, poor quality of painting, work left incomplete, the sloppiness, cutting corners, using bad products - again, I can go on and on. I will be reaching out to an investigative reporter to move forward with my issues; I will have this builder exposed for the lack of quality & bad work that contractors are able to get away with. ...

Lennars home buying experience is horrific. From the lies that the manipulative realtors spew, to the horrible workmanship. Their goal of Lennar is to only complete a house to 90%before closing. Punch lists are never completed. Extremely manipulative to women. Take total advantage of. Do not buy a Lennar home.

Quality and Customer service Sucks. Wish i could Rate NEGATIVE

Too many negative things to list them all. Constant delays and lies. Quality is so bad I would never buy a Lennar home again.

Dont buy from Lennar, EVER! They are cheapskates who cant do anything right, force you into closing early with promises of fixing things, but do not deliver. The material is cheap, the labor is crap, the multiple mistakes due to their cheap laborers is absolutely horrible. The home is not worth the price they charge AT ALL! I could have done a better job than their day laborers. Their construction manager Derrick clearly has no idea how to do his job or how to manage his workers to make sure they do it right. We have had nothing, but issues and we have only been in the home a month. The padding between townhomes walls is not enough, the padding under the carpet is none existent. We can hear everything! There is no sound proofing whatsoever, its like living in an apt again. The paint mistakes, the caulking missed, the leaking windows, tile floors installed incorrectly, the broken cabinets, and these are some of the issues we have that have yet to be fixed, The sales people have no idea what they are selling. No one in this organization communicates with anyone else. Sales people promise one thing, but that is clearly not what is done. From top to bottom this is the worst construction company in the Bay Area. ... More

Lennar has been a nightmare from day one. I was threatened with taking my retirement to a large fine if I didn't close when Lennar wanted to close. On the day of closing Lennar was not ready and the unit was certainly not completed. I closed on Dec 5, 2022 and as of today Jan 25,2023 I still cannot move my belongings in because the doors and windows still will not lock/open. I have contacted and have been promised by many of Lennar people and still no resolution. I have had to pay an additional $1000 for storage because I cannot move in my condo. I have other issues such as the front entrance floods due to sidewalk not slanted properly, my vanity doors are damaged. I would not refer Lennar to anyone and if something isn't done soon I may consider calling the media. This is ridiculous and shameful that a company can operate in this manner. ... More

House was a mess when we moved in. Walls needed repainting and when they repainted the workers got paint on carpet, tile, everything and it is not cleaned up yet. Our A/C has gone out 3 times and is still not fixed. No one from Lennar follows up when work order is put in. Finally, the HOA is charging us a late fee because Lennars title company sent them a faded check that HOA could not cash and cannot get a hold of the title company to cut a new check. I would not recommend to anyone to deal with Lennar.

Lennar couldn’t get our house done by closing on Dec.28 so they pushed it to Jan16. Home is still not finished! We settled for a Lennar home in a different area of town. The experience has been horrible. We can’t even get the warranty people out to patch up the things that were pointed out on our walkthrough before closing. I don’t recommend buying.
