Lennar Reviews in Charlotte, SC

Lennar's salesman sold us a different floorplan then the one he represented to us. His mistake was our loss. Lennar refused to make us whole. They simply offered our deposit back on the home but offered no other recourse.

The houses are built quickly. The 8’ wood doors and 10’ ceilings are very nice. The trim is wide with an updated look. The house has lots of quality windows with windowsills. Lennar kitchens are roomy with a big islands and lots of counter space. The downside of Lennar homes is the drywall finishing and painting in certain areas. Quality paint is not used and some areas need repainting.

1. Need better communication about construction timelines. Mortgage rates fluctuate and the buyer bears the risk 2.

The sales staff made the process seamless and the warranty staff handled issues quickly and completely.

The agent was amazing and she worked out a fantastic price. Worked with us on our time table to sell old house and was just an overall great person. The neighborhood is top notch and is the primary reason to move here. However!! The workmanship on the model home shows they rushed it and cut many corners. Flooring is uneven, ceiling dry walking was poorly done, Ethernet runs are bad, rokus access points are pointless, base boards already coming off and random holes where dry wall should meet in tiny corners. We knew what we were getting and accepted it. They just should have never built it this rushed. I would have Lennar build next time. ... More

Whoever put up the drywall on our home is terrible. Pop up nails everywhere. We can see the repairs on the ceiling. Bad cover up job.

The Quality of House is great, but when it is thrown together in minimal time it loses it's Luster. We're continuously finding major/minor defects. Crooked walls, creaking floors that seem as if not completely nailed down, sink stopper that won't stay connected... In the yard multiply holes and ridges from unsuitable rolling of the grass, regularly finding pieces of metal and rocks under the non growing grass. Responsiveness to issues maybe prompt, but a better or additional title would be "Accomplishment of Issues in a Timely Manner". The spokesperson is always available, but as the middle voice has no authority to getting anything done. Just an opportunity to separate, pause and create an allusion of things could possibly being accomplished. Love the House and Area, but Sadden & Disappointed in the Lack of Attention to Detail & Quality, over a focus of Quantity in the Quickest of time. ... More

Timeline to closing was excellent. Great overall value! Felt house construction was rushed causing multiple tickets for resolution over the last 5 months. Take your time during the walk thru would be my only suggestion.

1st: The sales process is excellent. Lennar and the sales team kept us informed throughout the build. Always available to answer to question. Access to the home during the build is excellent. 2nd: The floorplan, pictures, and model representation may not be exactly what you get. Make sure you ask specific questions about what is and is not included in the home. Don’t assume because it is in the floorplans, pictures, and model it will be in your home. 3rd: Lennar does not offer much in the way of options. You can’t get additional lighting in the house, you can’t get an additional gas line run to the backyard for a fire pit or grill, you can’t get additional electrical outlets installed in the house or outside (for outside lighting). It is easier to install these during construction than after. These are all extras I would have been willing to pay for, but wasn’t given an option. With that said, the house does come with a lot of standard features that most new builds don’t come with, and you would probably have to pay for with other builders. 4th : The house is structurally sound according to our independent house inspector we hired to inspect the home during the build. (Strongly recommend you do this with any home you buy) However, we found a lot of issues during our walk through that should have been addressed prior to the walk through. (This is not our first home purchase so we knew what to expect) We found cracked concrete, paint splatters inside and outside the house (walls, ceilings, floors, and fixtures), dryer and oven not installed correctly, fan vent cover missing or not installed, window seal cracked, weather stripping coming off. In my opinion, I think there is so much building going on that the builders are having a hard time finding enough qualified people in the trades to do the work. So, they are rushing to complete homes. And that can lead to sloppy work. There is a lack of attention to detail. 5th: Landscaping is poorly installed. The good thing is that the whole yard is soded. It is not seed and straw like some of the other builders. However, they laid the sod over everything, (trash, nails, pipes, rocks). They didn’t go through and regrade and clean up the lot prior to laying the sod. 6th: Trying to get things fixed after the sale can be difficult. All service requests must be made through the web site. And that is not easy to navigate. Our first requests took more that three weeks before we got any action. And some items took longer to fix. Again, I think it’s because the builders are having a hard time finding qualified people to do the work. 7th: The current HOA is slow to respond. Getting things approved takes way to long. Getting a response from the HOA takes a while. The landscaping of the common areas (except for the pool is poor). Hopefully this will improve when the homeowners take it over. Currently the builder controls the HOA. 8th: While I understand there are several homes under construction. Lennar could have the sub-contractors do a better job of cleaning up trash they leave around the community. The least they could do is have the dumpsters emptied more frequently. That would fix 90% of the trash issue. ... More

All okay, not happy or satisfied I would say okay

Had to reach out multiple times for answere

We are happy to be in our new home! The community and surroundings are beautiful. There were several issues in the building process that needed immediate attention to fix. The customer is not in the loop. Our construction manager was helpful in resolving issues. The process to address home owners questions and concerns needs fixed. We will submit tickets to address our current issues. Providing home owner with touch up paint is a must. I’m bothered by paint issues every time I clean.

Mediocre quality appliances, materials and workmanship; does not paint the garage walls & floor; charges premium prices; extras add up quickly; terrible workmanship installing sod; Laundry room and pantry are too small;

Constant staff turnover and poor communications.

What you see (model home) is not what you get. Have a professional home inspector look into the quality of home before you sign closing docs and get issues resolved.

Check every detail before accepting the house. Everything is NOT included. Many problems with the subcontractors' quality and workmanship. Lawns are especially rough.

The customer representative have been good. But there still opportunities where it could be imp like keeping marketing documents up to date so that customers know what will they be getting post closing.

Very average home buying experience.

Trades need to do better a better job, too many things done poorly. Issues with windows, siding, stove, dishwasher, shower head, deck, painting, flooring, gutters, concrete, masonry, landscaping, sod placement, grading of soil, etc. etc. Sad most things should have been caught and fixed well before we closed. Many things I will end up doing/fixing myself.

Bare minimum upgrades in spec homes Phase one of the neighborhood has better upgrades/options.....their motto is Its all included And that was not the case- there were no window treatments, refrigerator or washer and dryer included.

Mediocre at best.

Nice brand new home but you'll notice quickly that the materials used are not high quality!

Promises were made to repair the hill behind our house and they have not followed through

Not the highest standards on quality.

Overall, our experience with Lennar was subpar. The number of issues found during our inspection was alarming, but the worst part was the pushback from Lennar when it came to fixing or addressing these issues. I had to create a punch list and consistently follow up with the construction manager to ensure things were getting done. During the final walkthrough, numerous issues were discovered, yet I was assured that Lennar’s QA process would leave the house practically turn-key. Unfortunately, this was far from the truth. I even had to argue for a large section of drywall exposing the strike plate to be fixed and went around the neighborhood to gather proof that my house was the only one with this issue. Outlets were not installed at the same height, and I’m not sure there’s a single 90-degree corner in the entire house. Under the carpet, you can feel nails and debris as you walk. Every door’s trim is chewed up but simply covered with paint to hide the blemishes. The overall craftsmanship definitely needs to be reviewed. The only positive experience I’ve had in this entire process was with the sales agent, Mike, who unfortunately no longer works in this neighborhood, and my warranty representative, Martina. Martina has been working tirelessly to make things right when issues arise, and it’s clear she’s advocating for the homeowner rather than Lennar, which is a relief. I would not recommend Lennar to my family or friends. If you want to review some of the issues mentioned in this review, feel free to come by and I can point them out. Bring a level, laser, and speed square. ... More
