Lennar Reviews in Charleston, SC

This is my second Lennar home and this experience is nothing like my first experience. There was and has been poor communication between us and Lennar for the entire process. This includes warranty people and construction managers. I have been living in my house for over a month and the landscape is still not completed. There is always an excuse for why it’s not completed. We send emails that go unanswered and seems like everyone is always pointing the finger at someone else. They make it where you can’t walk away but if I could have walked away from this house I would have. The market will take care of us in the end and it will end up being a good investment but I will NEVER buy a Lennar home again after this experience ... More

Since I've moved in, calls are not returned.

We love the design of our house. We have been in our house for several month and have noticed a lot of things that were not up to a great standard.

Make sure you do a thorough walk through. Have all items done before you close

The quality of workmanship exhibited by the "trades" who worked on our home was NOT of a level I expected from a company like Lennar. There did not appear to be adequate/consistent on site supervision/control by the subcontractors utilized in the construction process. While there was a Lennar representative tasked with overseeing the various phases of construction; it appears he had little or no authority to enforce the correction of any discrepancies identified during his site inspections. Our closing was delayed by over a week due to the lack of attention on the part of a sub to a MAJOR problem which had been identified and documented by the Lennar representative well in advance of the expected date. ...

Would like to have seen better material in the trim work and carpeting and better quality with the drywall. Also, they're is 0 flexibility when you come into an on process home.

During our home buying process we were met with nothing but difficulties in communication. My wife was due to deliver our first child and we needed the closing date moved to a later date. Every request was denied. Only after reminding the sales team of federal protections around medical conditions did they move the date….. one week back. During the walk-through, we found many issues with Sheetrock finish work, and even one wall was 4 inches out of plumb. The work quality on the construction displays the lack of care from the builders. After one full month of being in the home we have found more than a dozen nail pops that we have been told they will not repair. We’ve had a plumbing failure that took a week to repair. We a number of floor squeaks that have been assessed but no one has come to make repairs. Customer service comes second to making a profit. Poor, poor, poor customer service. I would not recommend Lennar to anyone. The only reason we did not back out of the purchase was because we were old have lost our deposit. ... More

House looks great. Quality lacks in many aspects from poor electrical wiring, poor workmanship for ejecutivas outlets, poor workmanship for nailing especially in garage, painting lacks quality, and so on. Then to get things fixed you wait for several weeks, if they get fixed at all. You also get offered things in the community that never happen. Just don’t believe what Lennar states.

well the quality of home is good but NOT great hat carries Lennar and signifies name. also responsiveness towards issues report after moving is pathetic .

We do love our new home. However, the communication during the build process was less than ideal. And, when closing day came, we never received a proper walk through or warranty explanation. The Contractors were here and the Lead was here but they were too busy trying to finish the house that they forgot to actually speak to us. We still have a few outstanding issues. Our current "Director of Construction" has been by the house to see what he can do to finish up. Hopefully this works... I do have an issue with the driveway and the area between the garage and the house. - The driveway is WAY too narrow for a two car garage. I am going to have to pay to have it widened. I really wish you had done it right the first time. - The area between the house and the garage should have been a walkway, not a line of shrubs. There is a door from the house and a door to the Garage/Frog and there is a row of shrubs between them. This make no sense. Now I will have to pay for concrete here as well. - This are also hold water for days after a rain. The landscaper cam and installed a drain. However, they did not put it in on a slope. So the drain never empties. Plus, they ripped up the sod and killed it. Now I have to pay to have new sod put down. Speaking of which, they never rolled the yard after installing the sod. It is so rough in the back yard that our child is constantly tripping and falling. This really should be addressed. ... More

The house is very nice and overall has good craftsmanship, that said, I think it is over priced. The buying process was very painful and the sales staff disappear as soon as you are under contract. Good luck getting any issues addressed after closing.

Do not expect quality when you buy from Lennar.

Quality of materials and workmanship is subpar. There seems little quality control at all stages of the building process. The subcontractors did a poor job and no one called them on it or made them fix it before closing. The closing punch list disappeared after closing day. For example…..Driveway (cement) is two toned because they cracked it and just patched it. Our walkway (cement) is all spotted because they poured it in heavy rain. Now Lennar says it’s not under warranty immediately after closing. We ran two months behind schedule. That is consistent throughout our neighborhood. Other builders in the neighborhood did not have these issues. The lack of choices is frustrating and Lennar’s favorite word is NO. It appears Lennar can not provide what a customer really wants at this $800k-1 million dollar price point. Or meet customers quality expectations at this price point. They’re just taking advantage of a strong sellers market in our area. They’re idea is “take it or leave it” because we can sell it to someone else. ... More

If you want a quick build with tons of issues and half butt work? Go with Lennar! Fit and finish is embarrassingly bad. Having Lennar fix the grout in the master because the workers stained it with moody shoes. At first they weren’t going to fix but thank God for the amazing people in warrenty. That’s about all that’s good with Lennar is their warranty department. Guess they needed a good one with all the issues they have. Walls aren’t straight, base boards are wavy and/or chipped with paint just put over top, paint everywhere on everything. Looks like a Jackson Pollock painting until I had to clean it. Floors can’t let water stand because the seams will swell (cheap), interior doors are all splitting on the sides, appliances...guess what? Cheap as cheap gets. Had to have them come blow more insulation above a 2nd floor room because it literally had none! Framing lumber used is #2 lumber (cheap). I would ask the builder questions as to why the rafters were crooked, he would literally shrug his shoulders and not respond. Weird response from the guy who’s building my home possibly? 0/10 would not buy again or recommend. I will be moving out of this house before 10 years because I know this house will have structural issues. First big hurricane we get, house may not be here. Take some pride in your work Lennar! If you do the right thing the first time you won’t have to come fix the errors. Again probably why they have good warranty department. ... More

No attention to detail on the finishes of the house and low motivation to find and fix problems.

Alot of things went wrong during the move in process like no mail boxes were established for almost a month and once our mailboxes were assigned the only communication was made on facebook? this is a retirement community and many do not have social media accts the work in the house is sloppy due to timeframes set forth

Experience with sales was great. Our construction manager below average. Home wasn’t ready for our New Home Orientation with 4 painters working and sanding dust everywhere made finding issues next to impossible. Our experience with Customer Care so far has been poor.

Terrible quality and finishes. Would not recommend

The loan officers and sales representatives were very helpful. The second construction manager, Chris, DID NOT follow through on the items he promised would be fixed and they still are not fixed. This puts unnecessary stress on the buyer.

Bad bad bad. Issues with cement and grading of property. I can’t even walk between my house and neighbors. I lost a sneaker in the mud and lawn mower gets stuck. This was brought up at the last walkthrough and said it would be addressed. Never was and now it might cost me thousands to make right. I have 8 kids that are all adults and home buying. I have told them all to look elsewhere

After I moved In I started to see things I did not see in my walk through, like paint issues cracks, the flat paint is terrible and the color is not great. I now have a window that water comes In through and ruined my window sill and wall they can’t come fix it for 2 weeks.

Buying experience was great and easy, got update calls every other week from builder. Lennar severely lacks in skilled labor, many issues with craftsmanship, month and a half in to our new home and still a long list of items to address.

Nice home, but many issues and no response on the issues. Still waiting for the back door lock to be repaired. Not very safe without it! And can still see outside front door when closed

Disappointed to discover that our new home needs so many fixes/has so many deficiencies (including code violations). Would think that, for the price we paid, quality of materials and workmanship would have been better.

The overall quality of the workmanship and warranty repairs are a joke. Dealing with the constant repairs and all too familiar "no call no shows" are a full time job. I've lost count of the number of repair tickets I submitted and I've burned through all of my vacation time rescheduling appointments because it is almost guaranteed that there's going to be a no show. I regret this purchase and I will never purchase another Lennar.
