Lennar Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

Overall a great experience and no more snow!!!!

The house was not nearly ready for closing. The windows won’t shut, smoke detectors and lights hanging from the wall, concrete cracked, and I was threatened if I didn’t close by end of November, they would keep my deposit. They skipped the final walk through and were still laying carpet while I was at closing. I would not have closed, if I was not being threatened, they would keep my security deposit.

Responsiveness to issues has been a problem.

Lennar doesn't care about their customer's

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

The Salesperson that sold us this house and our last home was excellent. GC was great goes out of his way to solve problems, but he shouldn’t have to deal with a lot of these issues as the subcontractors should do a better job. The materials and workmanship leave a lot on the table. I have sheet rock issues, walls have waves in them, ceiling where HVAC Vent is has seem cracking . Finish sanding work is horrible. The home was spray painted and many areas weren’t finish sanded but we’re still painted. Didn’t clean the floors or walls before painting and dirt in paint on finished walls. Some of the door moldings have small chunks out of them. Door sills had over spray with dirt in them. Silicone sealing is messy .Concrete floor under bathroom linoleum has a hump in it. Couldn’t hook up dryer vent as piping wasn’t installed right in wall. As purchasing a Smart home I have a big utility box in my Master bedroom . There are wires in the closet that seem to go no where as they are not hook up. As well as a orange tube hanging in it with nothing in it. Why have a huge utility cabinet for a smart home with nothing hookedup in it but 2 cable wires. Toilets were not siliconed to the floor and wound up with ants coming into house from under both toilets. We love are home and the people associated with the sale process and the GC goes above and beyond. But the materials and workmanship quality in this home are not what we expected. Will be contacting warranty rep shortly to try and get some of these issues addressed. ... More

There are some “punch list “ issues that still have not been addressed. There are a few areas with workmanship. Some corners were cut, but overall we’re very happy with our new home

Slow down at walk through and make sure paint and dry wall is finished properly.

For the price we paid for the home some of the options they offer should have been included in the price.

Good house for the money

The buying experience was great. The product needs some improvement. Some of this is your design people's issue; 1. Exterior wall mounted light fixture design is too low. Hit your head when you walk out the door, turn to the driveway. I'm only 6'-0" tall. 2. Tankless water heater (aside from it's questionable functioning) is mounted on the opposite side of the house and father to the front away from where the bathrooms are located... so it takes a long time for hot water to get to the usage point. Finishes: Perhaps the manner in which things are done is the problem,. There is no need for quarter-round floor molding if the flooring is installed before the baseboard. The finish work on the baseboard and quarter-round is wretched. There is pain on the flooring almost through out the house because painting the trim was the last thing that was done. The landscaping at the front of the house is horrible for a number of reasons: plant choice and placement. Rain water does not drain away from the house at the back of the house. The area at the juncture of our neighbor's property in the front has a conglomeration of stuff (street light (which has never worked) transformer, two water meters and a six inch plastic pipe stick out of the ground three feet high) that was never finished once the sod was in. Looks like crap. I fully realize labor is tough to get and due to the massive amount of construction going on in the area getting the trades to take care of these things properly is a tough Job. But ... this house was listed at $248K last June. We bought it at $305 with no upgrades in July. I expected a much better job on the finishes for that amount. ... More

Great development but much you can customize.

Brad the construction manager represents Lennar well. Hes been very responsive to this point with issues I've had with the home. There's a couple more issues left to get fixed.

It seems that these homes are being built too fast and the workmanship is suffering for it. When you report a problem, it seems everyone is too busy building more homes and you have to wait to have your problems taken care of.

Brad was great! Love the house

Aaron saw to it that my dead sod was replaced. Jamon did good to get a plumber to fix some things BUT, my front door does not close correctly and they said they would replace it. No communication from Jamon and no action so far in over 6 weeks. Contacted Jamon again a week later. He apologized…but still no action on my door. Please be honest, timely and forthright and don’t just shine people. It’s insulting.

The person who oversaw the housing development was knowledgeable and worked hard to make sure things went well. When there was a problem, he would address it and make sure it was corrected in a timely manner. He truly cared about the project and made sure it was right.

House is well built and has plenty of smart technology representatives for Lennar we're knowledgable and professional.

All around I have not found that this has been a very good experience

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!!!

Great first home (bc first time homebuyers don't know better). If you're thinking of buying a Lennar home as your 2nd, 3rd or forever home.. forget about it, you will drive yourself crazy noticing all of the shoddy workmanship and fighting with them to get things corrected in a timely fashion. Their lender is not for the faint of heart either, prepare to be bullied into submission and have your queries go unanswered.

Overall a good experience. Subcontractor attention to detail could be improved.

The Home is nice with nice appliances, and appears quality hvac and such. Poor finishing on drywall, painting and appears rushed. Lennar was pushing by trying to get me to use their financing and rushed my closing because I did not go with them. Aka rushed finishing. Cabinet doors fell off upon moving in. Garage door still squeaks, dishwasher wasn't installed correctly and plumber left caulk in the drain. Poor response on fixing issues. Have furnace had a loose hose and had to come fix. Sloppy work.

Gutters! Hvac that works ?? Cabinets cheaply made ! Paint ? More like water color ! Cracking concrete ! Poor garage door openers ! Gas lines ! You want to bbq you have to change your gas lines ! The saddles to each doorway coming up ! Kitchen cabinets not lined up to par ! No you don’t get a move in ready home cause your to busy adding and fixing what they gave you ! Oh we forget to tell you you must sell your other home first !! Huh I had $$$ for this but on paper after paper after paper to prove I could buy this one ! Never again ! No communication once you sign the contract ! Oops we made a mistake and put your fireplace in the wrong spot !! Oh come on I find this out one week before closing ... More

If there are any issues its quickly resolved
