Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

The sod was laid wet and then the workers walked all over it creating very dangerous pot holes in the shape of foot prints. I hurt my right knee the first time I walked on it. I have to regrade it of course. The electrician has been out twice. Drawers had to be repaired. Had to have gutters in immediately. Lost power twice the first week so I put in a generator. The kitchen cabinets are useless. Having drawers installed. Tore out all the low grade carpeting. Put in a matching floor. The driveway is all pitted with extra cement globs everywhere. They had replaced 1 section but really the whole thing needed to be redone like most of the neighbors. I wasn’t as smart. In my contract. I was promised things that took a month of nagging to happen. Everyone was nice on face value with no follow through. A little less cutting corners for some quality assurance is worth a lot of good will and publicity. ... More

My overall experience purchasing a Lennar home was not the best it could’ve been but not terrible either. There were items that I asked if were included and was told yes to only be told later it’s not included with the collection. I didn’t get an apology of incorrect information only an unfortunately which is not an apology. Nothing offered because of the incorrect info either. You have to continuously stay on everyone from beginning to any individuals in between to closing. I even received a phone call from the VP of Lennar mortgage in regards to a survey I left. I missed the call and returned it 30 mins later to not get an answer and I’m still waiting on my return phone call. Lennar has to do more than just checking a box. ... More

It was a pretty tough experience. Our sales girl quit in the middle of building. Bounced around to a couple others that didn't help much before being handled by the manager. First walk through was scheduled when work wasn't complete yet. Final walk through when there was still workers working on the house. Was promised issues we found would be taken care of. Here we are a month and half later and we still have tape on our walls from the walk through that haven't been addressed. Even add ins we paid for in the contract weren't done. Crooked walls and bad drywall in multiple places and the 2nd story floor is very uneven after pointed out multiple times during the build. Lennar has some stepping up to do to make this experience right. ... More

House quality and workmanship is acceptable for this kind of budget houses, but the financial and title teams sucks. Even though there was plenty of time to get ready for the closing day, as the house was being constructed, they were still asking for info to get the loan just around a week before the closing. Consequently the closing final amount keep changing up to the day of closing creating some unexpected hassles that day. Very disappointing feeling for a well known company as Lennar.

My house did not appraise for the sale price and that effected my down payment and interest. It was a fiasco. Since I moved in I’ve submitted several work orders and had slow response for each.

The good: I like the floorplan and love the neighborhood we moved into. Enjoyed working with the sales person that helped us buy the house. The rest: The finish quality in the home and the materials used are appalling. The kitchen cabinets are the cheapest cabinets I've ever seen. The ready made cabinets at Lowes or Home Depot are better than these. The electrical work scares me. I had to install a couple of new fans and it looks like a high school shop class put the electrical in. Our water coming out of the faucet in the Texas summer is beyond warm, it is downright hot. I recently found why, the water line runs directly over the garage with a minimum of pipe insulation. This is something that is going to have to get revisited. Overall I like the house, but am very disappointed in the build and finish quality. ... More

No keys day of closing had to wait 5 days later to get keys and move in still no mailbox need some touch up no lites in backyard

Lennars goal is to close business and there is so much room for improvement. I told my sales guy I could not meet at a certain date since I locked in the house. I never meet with customer service, I was sent another builder supervisor instead. When we spent TWICE time to call out cosmetic things that needed to be repaired, only a very few were taken care of and the rest... well they just peeled off the orange stickers. Most of the paint jobs are leaky and full of paint buggers. Love the location, and the size of the land, but I would need to see lots of improvement before buying another home by this builder. ...

We are enjoying our new home and neighborhood and did have some positive experiences with Lennar. However, since we moved in 3 months ago we have noticed some problems with the workmanship. The paint job was especially sloppy. We also had problems with the Lennar Title Company giving us incorrect information at closing, and they would not respond to our emails requesting assistance concerning this incorrect information. These are some of the reasons that our overall rating is just average.

Since moving into my home , there’s been some concerns that occurred from what I believe to be a rushed job and therefore affected the quality of the house

Not happy due to the lack of follow ups

My biggest problem was during the walk I was blue taping a lot. Mike, who no longer is with y’all said, “don’t worry about taping everything right now, you won’t see it all so we’ll come back in 2 months to fix whatever else you see.” Nikki, who is awesome! Told me that wasn’t the case. All the baseboards in the house look like they were found in the trash, pieces missing in them, nails not all the way in, or holes from the nails. The painters also did a horrible job caulking the baseboards to the ground. They probably costed you guys a lot of money how much extra caulking they got all over our tile. These things will probably make me not recommend lennar to any friends or family, and not ever buy a lennar home again. Unless of course you guys actually care about those 2 issues and come fix them. ... More

Initial purchase process was smoother, design and options selection were easy to go through with sales person, construction manager was less responsive during the build, many issues found at final inspection and during final move-in. How would you describe the quality and value of your new home? Construction was ok, found many issues after 3 months period. Builder promised many items and delivered accordingly. For example, Amazon products give away. Ring, echo dot etc. What would you most like potential home buyers to know about this builder? Always do proper research about builder and quality of products they are using. Ask questions and expect details. This will be worthwhile after closing. ... More

Just barely three stars.

As it was a new house, There is a lot of details they I as a customer did not see on the walk dates, as soon as i wanted to inform about the issues, Lennar team was not helpful to attend or fix these issues, not only myself. some neighbors have had many issues as well, it looks like they wanted to build fast and not taking care of the quality. I'm sorry for myself that I already purchased and not have the chance to buy somewhere else.

The overall experience was not bad, my frustration with this experience was lack of communication. After you sign you basically have to pull teeth to get responses. After you close its even worse... ive asked for the paint code for our walls from the construction manager like 30 times and he just ignores me. Once you buy they dont care.

It did not go well at closing. I had a tough time with Ashley's teammate. I finally had to escalate the situation to their boss, so I could close on the day matthew said after calling me when I was on the way there. Ashley was honest and said it may not happen, but Matthew said otherwise. I would never want anyone to go through what I experienced. I also have noticed some things that wasn't actually handled well but I signed off on the 2nd walkthrough.

Make sure you double check everything on your final walk through. Builders don’t care about craftsmanship.

Several problems in the house since I arrive first time. No answer at all from sales representative and from Lennar customer service to my requests. Problems still pending after 5 weeks from closing.

At first it was exciting, lizz was great she always responded to our emails and check in every once in a while. She then moved and we were stuck with Nancy. When doing the tape walk thru we weren't able to hold the tape and things we wanted fixed we would get “it’s reasonably crooked” or “I’ll tape it but I don’t know if it’ll be fixed” as we walked through the house we had to be far from the wall and could not use our flashlight for dark areas. I understand it will not be perfect but if I’m going to be purchasing a new home and paying all that money I would like the house to be satisfactory. A lot of things we marked didn’t get fixed so the day of closing we only brought up the main concerns from our home inspector. Day of closing we had our realtor come in with us and Nancy started getting aggressive to where it got extremely uncomfortable. We wanted to make sure major issues were resolved before signing the iPad where we receive the house the way it is, but she would tell us we have to sign because she has more showings. When asking her about the workmanship she would tell us “I don’t know anything y’all need to sign here. That’s a question for the builder” overall workmanship is bad, not all reps are bad but I would suggest to stay away from Nancy from my experience, houses are built on a reasonable time frame but still I don’t think I’d buy a Lennar home again. ...

There really doesn’t seem to be quality control. The contractors review their own work and the construction managers take them at their word until the perspective owner comes and looks at the work. The toilet wasn’t level, the stairs were out of plumb, a few walls weren’t square, and they missed the electrical outlet needed on the island, the decking where the AC unit was installed wasn’t not level and the AC unit was installed anyway. The AC unit was installed anyway and actually was missing a recirculating valve. This cause the unit to sweat immensely and water to run off into the insulation and back of the sheet rock. There were other small issues like paint missing, trim was missing or poorly installed. ... More

I purchased my home 2 months ago and I fell in love but there were steps taken to make sure I would continue being happy in the home and those were not completed. Walkthrough items never touched and ignored and here we are 2 months later and I can not even operate master bedroom blinds from a walkthrough item unacceptable I work hard to make sure I could afford a nice new home.

Their inability to give us a choice in many things in our home. From interior paint color, to external brick, the choice was made for us. Never in my experience of buying a home did the sales guy have to say, "I'm sorry, no" so many times. If it weren't that Lennar had the floor plan we wanted (Next Gen home) we would have built with someone else.

I love my home but it has so many little things there were some issues to he fixed after my last walkthrough that just weren’t fixed. I submitted the warranty since they said thats how I had to claim them. They’re parts of the inside of my home that isn’t painted. The outside of my home paint was peeling and was supposed to be fixed that was just never taken care of. They promised me some stuff that they didn’t make it happen. It’s the little things that add up.

If it was not nadia and josie i wud not buy this and rather wait and buy some other house but this two people worked hard for me but i m not really happy of the service and response.
