Lennar Reviews in Charleston, SC

The staff is great. The quality of work by the contractors on the finish work (paint, baseboards, alignments, etc) was not up to par!

We love the floor plan. Was disappointed in 2 x 4 vs 2 x 6 studs. The build should have more insulation included. No major issues at this 3 months in. Closing was seamless. We hope to live here for many years.

Overall we were happy with Lennar's homebuild and process. Our pre-drywall inspection according to our 3rd party was "well above average" - meaning it was done fairly well and only maintained a few critical issues. Getting these resolved required some follow-up but our construction managers were communicative and helpful to get the job done. Slight delays outside of Lennar's control caused rushing toward the end but no key items remained unresolved by closing. Again, I would recommend walking the site and staying on top of every step of the build. Some finishes could be nicer for the cost, specifically the builder-grade closet racks, mirrors, and cheap paint/unfinished garage. Would also love to see Lennar include more things in new-build purchases like towel racks/toilet paper holders; really simple and functional things are not included. ... More

Workmanship on the home is marginal. I keep saying "is it cost/time effective to do it correct the first time?" that to keep coming back to repair the issue. Also, we've had experiences with warranty matters when we've been told the trade is scheduled to come out, they don't show or communicate.

in general, house is ok. service is ok. but just ok. Lennar can do it even better to become great. but you cannot expect that. because of Lennar build massive houses at the same time and want control cost as much as they can according to Lennar. the warranty team is good. always have quick response. most warranty issue are very minor things which they can avoid before house close if they want, you have to escalate and prove it according to the process steps over and over again which make you feel a little bit annoyed.

The process was seamless and schedule well.

Wish there was a bit higher quality of construction (I.E. 2X6 vice 2X4 framing). Also there are simply not enough outlets installed nor utility sink plumbing in the garage. All of which I would have been happy to pay for if that was an option!

The process was very smooth from beginning to end everyone from Lennar was always there when I had a question very helpful

We purchased our home while living in New England. The CM Chip, was truly our long distance eyes. He walked us through the process and helped us understand the South Carolina and Berkeley County building codes which had an impact on the timeline. We put our trust in Chip, and he never let us down.

Had an amazing experience in purchasing our new Lennar home. Everyone on the sales and marketing teams were awesome to work with. Would recommend Lennar to anyone.

Jason kept us updated continuously through build.

Good experience. I just wish there was more communication on status of process. Need better quality control of homes. Felt the need to inspect every week to make sure there weren't oversights. Without a third party inspection many issues would have occurred.

Lennar has built a solid and well appointed home, the workmanship of the house itself is excellent and I’m very pleased.

Our experience with Lennar financial staff was absolutely great, thank you for making things so smoothly, The building team was great as well thank you for everything and all the work. We love our new home..

Take more time with home technology review..

They were cool an helpful

I love my new house

The entire staff was wonderful. The only thing that I had a problem with was the Mortgage company. I was ask to present multiple documents multiple times by different agents.

Our Sales Representative was awesome. He was thorough, patient, and responsive. We looked at a mortgage loan, and our mortgage Representative was also outstanding. The process can seem annoying at times, but understandable. The home build has not been as stellar, and somewhat disappointing. Mudding, caulking, and paint priming has been the source of frustration. Cabinetry quality is satisfactory, at best. Still moving in.

We are mostly happy with our new home. We have been disappointed in some of the low quality of the final workmanship of the home. Doors that have huge gaps on the sides or rub against the frame. Poor job of caulking. Stains on the countertops. Baseboards that are not tight. Walls that are not square. All things that we were not able to notice at the time of the final walkthrough. Things that as you live in a home, you find over a period of time. Generally speaking though, we are overall pleased with what we got.

My construction manager Matty, did a good job with our walk through and touching up / repairing anything. Replaced my grass after an army worm infestation, the only criticism I have is that some the remains sod after replacing the dead patches; there were still some sod patches that had partially dead grass.

The open floor plans are great , but there is no consideration of any power outlets on the floor for table lights or anything else for the couch in the middle of floor. All outlets are along the wall so if you have electric couch features you’ll need to run a line across the floor. Other wise there is plenty of bright lighting led lights in the ceilings all over. They seem to use good materials for the most part. Not sure how great the craftsmanship is due to the amount of homes they are building so fast. Attention to quality could be better. Issues are passable, but could easily have looked better if a little concern and an extra minute might have been taken. Overall a nice floor plan and a pretty good package for the money. Lennar has it down to a well thought out plan when it comes to mass building houses since they’ve been doing it so long. A little frustrating trying to get some issues ironed out when the construction manager told you one thing and a month later nothing has been done and you can’t get a hold of him anymore. With a bit more effort you may have to track someone down at the office to hopefully address the issue. All this is probably typical of new home buying, too bad it is. Still to say, it’s a good product and a pretty good deal. I would recommend anyone to take the opportunity to look at Lennar homes as an option when buying a home. ... More

Sales rep, lending team and customer service people were great. Could use better insulation so you don't hear everything outside while you're inside

The workers didn’t seem very concern about building the house. It had lots of issues.

My experience has been overall positive and I’m happy with my home. I’ve had other builder experiences with past homes and Lennar has been above those. They strive to ensure you’re happy and I was impressed with my closing to an extent. They made some minor adjustments day of closing to my cabinet that was too low for my fridge. Several jobs were not completed in which I was promised completion after closing for which no one came back. For the most part, I’m satisfied with my purchase and going with Lennar as I’ve found the craftsmanship for my neighborhood was above others in the area. I purchased in Carnes Crossroads in Summerville, SC and the neighborhood stands out as one of the top locations for the area. My realtor did a great job helping me keep the contractor on schedule and ensuring most items were completed prior to closing. My recommendation would be not to fall to the peer pressure of closing with items left to do. They will drop you like a bad habit once you close so be ready for that. ... More
