Lennar Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

We bought at 60% completion and lived locally. We visited every day. Lots of substandard work from the start. The construction manager was responsive but a lot of the crews are independent so he was at their mercy to get them to show up. Two major issues: the concrete patio pad was left off when the foundation was originally poured. They poured a pad but it was not the 4” at each side. There was a hole at one edge that you could put a stick under up to a foot and you could see that it was thin on that side. It was supposed to be handled. Before it got any repair, the grader got that area with the bobcat and broke out a piece. It was patched. We have asked for repair again but the warranty supervisor said they don’t guarantee concrete match (?). How about a correctly poured slab?? Problem #2- our front entry wall began to bow out. We were told to report it to warranty and later found out this person was depending on the construction manager to schedule the work. We did get a carpentry crew in that removed the garage side wall and we discovered 2x4s that were bowing and twisted. They replaced all of these, replaced the OSB and now we are waiting for trim to remove the trim and then the sheetrock crew to remove the entire wall to replace it. This has been ongoing for a month minimally. We have no key to our mailbox so we have to flag down the mailman. The keys were lost in the mail to Lennar. There are other issues that we have dealt with and several that they are now putting off to the 11th month warranty inspection. We love the location, have great neighbors but have had a very poor experience with Lennar in general. We have been unable to get above the local level to talk with someone about these issues. All of our neighbors are having the same lack of response. ... More

Would not recommend them , I sign a contract then they voided because they had to many sales for that quarter when resigned the contract they charged me more money for the , has done nothing to fix the problem not even an apology

Be sure to have a home inspection prior to closing. Lennar as a company is not the main issues relating to the overall build. They need to oversee the sub-contracting as the quality is not there.

Our experience with the Lennar representative as wonderful. If it were not for Laura , I believe , the builder would not release the home. We were committed to buy and the PRICE WENT UP THOUSANDS! This is downright criminal. The construction manager Reese was also a pleasure to work with concerning repair issues. The problem is the craftsmanship of these workers who are hired to build and repair and address all kinds of issues. I have one serious remaining issue with drainage that I have contacted to address the problem. My wife and I are basically happy with the home and area. There is a lot to say and would be better served in a fluid conversation. ... More

Back up to the beginning the features listed on the liatature and what the sample houses had is not what we received. You cannot show crown molding, Waynes coating, Perfect thresholds quality paint, paint colors outside of the stock colors and not make them available. Also we do not get a response from the warranty person. And we still have outstanding issues to be addressed after 45 days and counting. On the final walk thru so many major items were not working that we did not see the simple things like hinges pins missing from doors. Our needs repainting and not one has showed up the fix it it. Also our thresholds were built with scrap lumber. There is not enough insulation in the attic. Also we were told that our cracked and stepped on sidewalk would not be fixed. We will not recommend Lennar Builders to any perspective home buyers. We will recommend Lennard to any of our friends or persecutive home buyer. ... More

Beware! If issues aren't addressed prior to closing, they may never get resolved! We have outdoor faucets that don't function, garage outlets that can't be used, and a front window that was cracked by flying construction site debry that we can't get fixed!!!

We suggest Lennar revise their marketing information. Lennar says everything is included, they definitely do not include everything not even a fridge. The builder also should hire experienced subs so that they will fix the problem once and be done with it vs. having them come over and over and over again and the last sub we had made the problem even worse than the prior sub.

I had a house from Lennar in Tampa that the construction, finishes and the features were top. Came to Myrtle Beach expecting the same…..what a disappointment. The quality of the work and the finishes are probably the most cheapest. The lights, rugs, paint, cabinets. Bathroom……the worst quality. I had an issue with the grading of my soil prior to closing and the Construction Manager indicated that it was due to rain. A month and a half passed by and the area did not improve. Worked with the warranty department and they involved others to solve my issue. As of today the issue has not been solved. This was my 3rd house with Lennar and probably the last one…., what a disappointment. I will be happy once I put a For Sale sign on the house. ... More

Subcontractors never get back to you when you need answers to questions about what was done on the house for example the irrigation system was put in at the beginning of the build I have no idea where the heads are I have no idea what type of system they're using and when I try to get information nobody bothers to call me back secondly when you asked first things from the DC after your house is closed he never gets back to you or he tells you he will get in but he never does trying to get information about the build of this house is like pulling

Everything was delayed. The quality is pathetic. The responsiveness of the team is so below par. Overall I would not recommend Lennar at all.

The entire experience has been poor. Issues do not get addressed and even when they are they are only half addressed. There are issues we have had since our one and only walk through before closing that still have not been addressed. We were also promised multiple walk throughs, throughout the process and did not receive them.

Ronnie our realtor is Amazing! Ian our contractor is also Amazing. We love our home and we have great neighbors. However most of the neighbors agree that gutters should have already been installed plus hardware for bathrooms. Light fixtures are antiquated. Lots of caulking in bathroom and shower was not completed. Front door lock is hard to lock. HOA is very difficult to work with, they control everything about your home. You can’t even change your mulch or bark without asking for approval not to mention buying a tree or a bush.All the neighbors complain about HOA.

There were a few items that did not appear to be installed correctly when we moved into our home. However, Lennar customer service is probably the best we experienced. Their reps are very polite, responsive and professional taking care of any little detail that comes up.

Poor communication throughout entire process.

Never again! EVERYTHING was purchased at the lowest grade. I'm waiting to see how long things last. No upgrades available? No gutters? Not painting the garage? The cheapest landscaping? No front doorknob lock? No ceiling fans? the cheapest can lights available, 2 already burned out. No keypad for the garage door? the garage door doesn't automatically close after a period of time? There are a lot of little things that added up. Everyone that I speak with is spending money to bring their house up to a level that this area deserves. The construction manager, Daniel, did a great job. that's the only reason for the 4-star ratings. He was responsive, and did what he could do to make the house presentable. ... More

I would NOT recommend Lennar's mortgage. I was unable to use Lennar's mortgage company due to their inexperience and I lost out on all incentives in addition I never received all the information at closing regarding who to contact, association information ect... The tile in my master bath had to be redone multiple times. Holly was amazing she was the bright spot in this experience without her I would have walked away from this home purchase.

**Report on Building Project Experience from THE PINES **Overview:** Effective communication is essential in any construction project. Louis, our site manager, demonstrated commendable communication skills, facilitating as much as possible a smoother process throughout the build and considering what and who he had to work with. **Positive Aspects:** - **Site Management:** Louis effectively managed the site, ensuring that communication flowed well between the buyer, contractors and stakeholders. His approach likely contributed to a more organized building process along with our detailed assistance. - **Quality of Materials:** There have been noticeable issues regarding the materials used, raising concerns about their durability and overall quality things used were very cheep and low grade end products. - **Contractor Cleanliness:** The cleanliness of the contractors on-site was lacking at best and substandard, which may have impacted the working environment and aesthetic of the project. - **Discrepancies in Fixtures:** Inconsistencies with fixtures was an issue it was extremely obvious from a contractors perspective that they bought their fixtures in bulk and used what they had not what would actually go with the home or at the very least match. this car is just to have to replace fixtures in order to create continuity in our bathrooms. The overall finish of the home was frustrating, particularly given the investment made was for a new build. **Recommendations:** - **Professional Inspection:** it would be highly recommended engaging a professional inspector for a future Lennar Home build. Having someone knowledgeable accompany you during ALL the walk-throughs can help identify potential issues before final acceptance. it was very notable that Lennar homes will try and push you through the process in order to simply check a box for another sale without regard of customer satisfaction. **Conclusion:** My diligence exhibited throughout the project was instrumental in my wife and I achieving a satisfactory outcome, despite concerns about overpayment. The product we received in the end was definitely not worth the money we paid for it. We hope that by sharing this experience can provide valuable insights for others considering a Lennar home. I could not understate the importance of highlighting the necessity of a would be buyer being proactive and vigilant during the building process. Remember out of sight out of mind and a lot of things can get covered up behind sheetrock. **Final Note:** The final project was OK however, the effort I put into it was more in line with a custom build, but without any decision-making or upgrading decision-making ability. Do not expect for them to waiver and floor color, down to blocking in the walls literally, they will do nothing other than build you a shell, and that will look the same as the demo. ... More

The Builder needs to slow down and get the home’s completed with more time spent on Quality. Standard building practices like installing gutters Having a new Home With a microwave vented by a filter internally makes no sense whatsoever when it can simply vented out the wall. These are just two samples of what we now have to pay for which should be standard features. Concrete workmanship very poor. Fresh air ventilation and damper was never connected. Do it right the first time.

I knew going in the house for the money is good workmeship not so good moldings sloppy doors don't fit properly, hoa rules to many restriction neighborhood is very nice.

We received our home about two months after the initial close date that we were told. We were told that our initial close date was possible because they already had the materials, therefore there wouldn't be a setback due to materials. About one month before we were set to close and after questioning the time frame, we were told that we misunderstood them having the materials - what they meant was they had the "purchasing power" to buy the materials. At this point it was 3 months after I signed the contract and price homes had gone up 20-30k so it made no sense to bail out and buy elsewhere - I was stuck and they knew it. My family and I were displaced while waiting on them. Fast forward to closing day, the house was extremely dirty inside. Dust everywhere, dirty mirrors... so they sent the cleaners back out the next day. Same result! Awful attention to detail - that's the project manager's responsibility to ensure their contractors are doing their job right because it's FOR THEIR CUSTOMER. As slow as the houses are being built there should be plenty of time to review the quality of the work being done. Problem is that the PM is too busy dealing with problems that the contractors are causing because the labor is cheap and cheap is what you get. Oh... they didn't paint the inside of the garage because "it's considered an exterior surface". So they use drywall on exterior surfaces? Yup, awful! ... More

Poor tile work. Cheap paint and carpet. Fit and finish work awful. The smart home features are nice, however I've been informed that they are not included anymore.

Its about what you would expect from a new build these days. They rush and hire whatever subs are cheapest for the budget. people get paid by working fast, not better. and so theres lots of errors or crappy workmanship garage still had dent in it. they painted front door because it had a dent, but in doing so got some paint on the door handle. Staples in the carpet sticking up everywhere. sharpie on the slab beneath rising to the top of our cheap flooring as blue marks. Floor had some scratches we missed. the cheap flooring also bubbled up some or wasnt stuck down good in some spots. nail pops everywhere. they closed doors while paint was still wet and so you can imagine how that played out. the railing in the stairway is not sturdy bc they screwed up and had to move it a couple times. think thats it. family is happy here, but its what you get with these big builders. they skip on quality to get productivity. its makes them money, i get it. i would just have more pride in my craft if it were me. ...

Purchased a brand new home recently. My wife and I moved in and had a list of things that were not finished on the home after closing. Took a month a several phone calls to resolve. Refunds took weeks to issue and several phone calls! Then the biggest issue of all my property was damaged by construction next door after I took possession. No regard for my property at all! Again several phone calls several warranty requests. Even a phone call to horry county police to make sure no one else will be allowed to damage any more of my property. Not miner damage!!!! Also we closed on our house and had to sit in our driveway because nobody meant us there as stated to give us the keys! Had to make several calls and wait two hours!!! The list could go on. I love my home and the community but not who I purchased it from ... More

Really a 2.5-2.75 star rating for me. I want to start by saying I really love the community and my home. I have found some of the materials and initial painting to only be so-so. There was some patch work done in our master bathroom that wasn't painted over just before we moved in. Not a huge deal, but as a brand new build you expect perfection and don't expect small projects with your home right out of the gate. I have also noticed the paint on the walls is very easy to scuff and when cleaning seems to strip away very easily. Almost as if their wasn't good priming done first. Same with the baseboards. That brings me to my second point.The fact that the garage door opener was not included, neither was the attic space ladder/closure in the garage. It wasn't disclosed to us before purchasing the home, so be aware you'll have to put in some additional money for that when purchasing one of these new build homes. Not the end of the world, but a bit annoying. The biggest thing that rubbed me the wrong way was how pressured I felt to opt for Lennar financing. I found and went through my own mortgage broker, but looked into the Lennar financing just to see my options. When I decided to stay with my broker I got calls and texts flirting on the line of threats and harassment that my loan might not go through but that their team could secure it. That doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth. As I said nothing was straight out threatened but heavily implied. Definitely walking a gray line of my legal rights of freedom to choose financing. Luckily, I moved forward with my broker and had no issues- just as my broker reassured me there wouldn't be. Beware of these tactics as well! Again, I do love the house overall and my community. Just wish a few things had gone a little differently. It will make me cautious on who I purchase from in the future.... ... More

House is a good value for the money, but the issue is that nothing in the house was functional of done correct. Light fixtures don't work, I have to hire an electrician to correct them. No crown molding, all exterior light fixtures are loose. Nothing was ready on time. Water main broke on the side of my house and toilets overflowed all over my floors. I am very disappointed. House looks good on outside but beware of how things are put together on the inside. Shoddy craftmanship.
