Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

We moved in on January 23,2021 and on the 24th we had a major flood in the main bathroom. The water when under the sink and out into the hallway and hallway closet and underneath the wall into the living room. We immediately notified Robin, she came out and looked at the damage and said she would replace everything that was water damaged. That was January 25, 2021. As of today May 25, 2021 nothing and I mean nothing has been done. The baseboards moved away from the wall and I am worried about mold in the walls. I would like to have this fixed ASAP..

My advice to new home owners is to read the fine lines of the contract as well as have it independently evaluated. Home was contracted to be delivered in December and did not receive until January therefore delayed in homestead and could not qualify for homestead until 2022. Also had to have pods for furniture storage that cost additional storing expenses as well as labor expenses. Being a first time home owner from out of state found that lot of things were not done properly. Floors were of poor quality. Never have a vinyl floor installed as it is extremely difficult to clean and never given an option to chose the floor; No towel rack in master shower room or medicine cabinets in any bathroom or safety grab bar either. shower pan in master bedroom does not drain properly as it has to be squeegeed as pool of water retains, lawns are not properly sod as there is a lot of uneven ground; even the valves do not drain properly and had to be fixed. My suggestion is to have a good experienced quality check done by the builder and not get brushed off by their coordinators for the area as they don't like to do and that makes home owners not happy. Builders do try to get things done but unfortunately it is not handled to home owners satisfaction. Too early to tell about the quality as time will tell. ... More

Lennar has a solid but average process and quality. I have purchased a few homes in the last few years and they don't do anything to set themselves apart and have some questionable procedures that really need to be updated.

Lennar offered great designs, indeed beautiful houses, but not really impressed with details. From cleanliness to items not ready @ delivery, to customer support, many items were left unplug, uninstalled, open access to controls, lack of explanation on upgrades, the list is long. In my experience, there was lack of communication, customers deserve RESPECT for our commitment to our biggest investments of our lives, please DO BETTER for future home owners. Despite all complaints, I still love Tavola and my home elevation.

If you are buying a home from Lennar, just know that there might be better options and more expensive. I like the house, the only thing right now is that we’ve asked to come and repair a couple of issues and we haven’t gotten a response back… it’s been about two months since we put the request and nothing.

I paid a good price for this home but I see many of the materials us3d to construct my home are poor or low quality that will not last more than 4 to 5 years like the exterior siding made out of compressed wood not cement hardy bia4ds. I also see loopholes to avoid some warranty repairs like trees that died 2 weeks after purchase date etc. Overall, good price but I will not buy a lennar home again. Thank you for the survey

the floors in this home are so hard that have been in excruciating pain since moving in and I consider this house unlivable! if I could trade it in I would it. I cannot recommend anyone buy a home from lennar if this is the type of flooring that will be in your home. the pain I am in out weighs any good. I will say that responsiveness has been quick but no avail. The overall home buying experience besides a few delays was pretty good the salesperson James was very helpful and patient, and I felt Diana who did the walk through was trustworthy, but again, the flooring is so awful I would have to give it a zero on quality of workmanship and materials is substandard and I would see inhumane and criminal. I do not think the value is worth what I paid and after 8 months of looking for a home and moving over 1,000 and all of the obstacles I faced to get here, I am looking to get out in less than one month of moving in ...

Sloppy work during final walk through. Missed a lot that we flagged. Has taken 3 weeks and counting to fix issues reported to them.

The office people are all very pleasant, very helpful. The quality of work done on my house is poor. The sloppiness of the painters, lack of caulk, paint on the floor, chunks on the light switches, grit all over the tub, shower doesn't drain. My windows and walls and door frame is crooked. Some flooring has already been replaced as well. I've had issues with the water, electric and gas, just to name a few. I've had new homes built in the past, all I had were nail pops after a year....I've had all these issues within a months time. I'm working with a pleasant girl in the office, and she has been helping me make appointments and getting people out to repair the issues, which is frustrating. It took 5 people and 3 hours to flag the visual issues on my first walk through. I love the size and layout of my home, it's just sad that it's not a happy, joyful experience that I expected in moving into my new home. ... More

Our walkway was left messy and I was told the developers supposed to fix it. I have sent several emails to get someone to fix our walkway, still no one is taking responsibility for it. A new community walkway shouldn’t be looking a mess.

So the walls feel like primer not paint. The kitchen and bathroom drawer slides are not centered.Not the craftsmanship that we expected in a new home. Overall, just a lack of craftsmanship.

The quality of these homes are horrendous considering how much they cost. The materials used are horribly cheap and the finish carpentry is ugly. The attention to detail is nonexistent.

Interested in selling but lennar buil quality is poor

So much problems with the house.

Next house I buy I will de looking for Lennar.

I am a Senior and this is my first new constructed home always bought and remodeled. The buying and completion of the sale for me being a senior was extremely difficult and so very confusing. So many many people emailing and requesting verifications and do's and dont's my head was spinning. Also some mistakes on their end when items were summitted and kept requesting same items finally I discovered why... someone at Lennar set me up to different portals for submission and they were not checking other portal. Sorry I like the old fashion way because I am not savvy on technology and the whole process was a nightmare. I had to have my children help me on most of it AND after all that the closing online ???? which was easy for certain but just did not have the WOW factor of going in person to sign and walk out with the key. It was actually blah. All the staff at Lennar were great and very nice but I did struggle for the first time in my life buying a property. With that said ....I see that with a new house the workmanship is lacking and also the details of purchasing a listed 389,000 home leaves so much for the owner to then supply the little details one would expect. Like cabinet pulls.....towel racks and rings....fans especially for those of us in Houston Texas area....gutters where a must need...also the trim throughout the home...really ??? cheap painted regular boards. I know with economy and especially since pandemic I am certain builders I guess have issues keeping the cost down...but with Lennar being a major builder owning everything from home building to the mortgage lender and everything in between sorry I am just disappointed at least for some of these things should be included. Also when a buyer does a walk thru and then workers come in to do the issues for goodness sakes they like when building the house come in and do their responsibility but do not respect the home so they bump or dent or damage other parts of the house in their process of working in your brand new home. Then you move in and see the dirty hand prints and the knocks that were made while they were in the house because this is just a job with thousands of others waiting to be worked on as well. But this is MY HOME I signed up to pay dearly for the rest of my life and I have waited a lifetime to be able to have....Lastly for goodness sakes why why why do builders use the cheapest white paint that is like powder and can not be cleaned ? I know it is the cost but has anyone asked if they would like to upgrade the paint as the buyer expense. I had to pay close to 3000 to just get the walls painted (not closets or utility room) before I ever moved in because the walls were so fragile and the fear if they are touched in anyway BOOM you have issues. Just roll in the cost of quality durable paint the first go round when house is built. I know at this price point your buyers would absolutely appreciate and willing to pay the upcharge for the better paint that Lennar would use and that would even be a FANTASTIC selling point ESPECIALLY if Lennar got out front first to offer. I have spoken .....as well as my own children that have purchased new homes and yes they were Lennar....How awful and terrible contractors paint is and impossible to keep clean and damage free even without children in ln the home. They all within just a few years of constantly touching up opted to have everything whole house inside repainted. Sorry but I feel you want my honest response ...so that is what I have given. There are so many details I love about the home...the floorplan inside and out...that mine did come with a sprinkler system...the fabulous use of space as well as most of the finishes and the community I purchased. As I said exciting event in life but as the owner I do want Lennar to have a honest review of what my experience was and is ....A lot of good with some bad. Such as life goes in all things. ... More

Muy buen diseño y tamaño de lote apropiado. Algunos materiales podrían ser mejores para lograr mejores acabados. Excelente la tasa de interés que dieron con relación a otros Builders. La única queja fue el proceso del préstamo!, muy ineficientes y poca comunicación.

Good value overall, but lots of cracking on walls and paint spills on floor.

Love the home! But the process wasn’t all that great. No one told me the area didn’t have lights/gas so my closing was pushed back 4 months because of it. My Loan officer was GREAT!

We love our home, it’s great. We are old, retired and are very technologically challenged. That was our problem .I’m sure others would not have the same issues. When supplying required information to Lennar we were ask to provide that by computer formats we didn’t know or understand. We informed all of this and were told help would be given. Some was, but we perceived to be a problem to them instead. Much time was wasted and we became very frustrated. The process of buying a new home became very unpleasant. I’m sure others more savvy would fair much better than us.

Our sales person Kacey was amazing. She communicated with me and was just short of being our loan officer as well because I could not get any communication during the loan process. Communication with our loan officer was little to none. He would not answer or return phone calls and the only emails he would respond to were the ones our sales person confronted him on. What even more frustrating is when we reached out to our loan officer to lock in our internet rate we got no response and then the interest rates went up. Super frustrating. Luckily the last 3 weeks before we closed on our home we got a new loan officer who was super helpful and took up the slack from the old officer but too little too late I guess when it comes to locking in the lower internet rate. The house is great with the exception of the trim around the doors. The trim around the doors is all cut a half inch above the ground and the caulk isn’t put in well enough to hide it. The response to fixing things after the closing of the home has been fast and efficient. ... More

Underwriting is tough but trust your getting a good home build! A home with good bones, & good materials. Lennar is excellent at responding to issues. They make sure you love your home! They guide you virtually every step of the way! If you choose lennar like we did you will not regret it just be diligent and don’t overpay!

Still trying to get some warranty issues resolved, has taken over 2 months and still not satisfied with results.

For the most part was happy, my upgraded tile floor still looks very poorly done. Problem was not addressed properly and lennar refused to fix it properly

The process could have been better… Looks like shortcuts were taken with some issues… A week of being in the home we had no heat, the garage door needed to be repainted, and brick was coming off the house. Nonetheless, all issues were handled immediately. Our cable was cut twice by the trades building behind the house. The closing was streamlined and efficient.
