Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

I closed on a house in a Lennar community 6 months ago. The building process was ridiculously stressful. Zac, the building manager over my home, was hard to communicate with, did not follow through on requests, left my build sitting with unfixed issues for months. Even untouched the week between my initial walkthrough and my final one. I ended up coming to my FINAL walkthrough, with several trades people actively working to fix problems WHILE I WAS WALKING THROUGH. I was asked to give them a couple of hours and come back to walk again. Zac’s lack of attention to issues, left me dealing with NUMEROUS warranty issues from the moment I moved into the home. Brooklyn, our warranty contact, has been helpful and responsive. However, the companies that Lennar are contracted with are horrendous at following through on their trades. The companies either don’t show up when scheduled, or don’t repair things as expected. Now, something that our community was promised as an incentive for living in our neighborhood (4 season-passes to the water park next door, annually) because we don’t have any pool amenities, the HOA is saying is not correct information. Why are the sales people promising buyers something if the HOA for our neighborhood is not backing that information? None of this even touches the issues I encountered with the incompetent mortgage team. Lost files, incorrect numbers, missing credits, TERRIBLE communication, and a whole slew of other problems. At this point I cannot, in good conscience, recommend LENNAR to anyone. This company seems to revolve on words of smoke and mirrors. What a terrible way to do business. ... More

This has been the worst experience of my life. I honestly would not encourage, suggest, or promote anyone I like, know or trust to purchase a Lennar home. The quality is subpar, the responsiveness to issues is next to never as far as the repair persons actually showing up. There is no flexibility with scheduling, I had to keep taking off work trying to get things repaired in a BRAND NEW HOUSE. NIGHTMARE.....RUN! I gave 1 stars to submit the review

Bad quality , even the paint and the floor .

Very bad all departments.

I would never recommend Lennar to any home buyer. The overall experience was so poor and this is my 4th home purchase. So many things went wrong with this home purchase from day one up until the closing day. I will NEVER buy a home with Lennar again and I would NEVER recommend them.

Low quality materials used and left the finishing work undone and promised to be taken care of at time of closing but later they don't care. Keep putting work orders and they ask for phone appointments and virtual appointments but work not done and they close the tickets without completing it. Even the area manager don't respond to email sent. Really disappointed.

Every step of the home buying process was horrible. From the agent, to the contractor and now customer service won’t respond to us for a month. Every single person I come into contact with from this point on I will stir away from Lennar. Between the several realtors and businesses in our realm, we should be able to reach many of your potential customers to insure they do not make the same mistake we did by choosing Lennar as our home builder.

Requested my preconstruction meeting 4 times, IN WRITING, never happened. Was not able to do a pre-sheetrock inspection despite asking for one, they put the sheetrock up anyways. Had I known timelines, hence wanting a preconstruction meeting, I could have planned better. I did not meet A SINGLE person from the construction team until TWO WEEKS before I closed. Workmanship was described by A LENNAR TEAM MEMBER and my realtor as "embarrassing". They PUT THE WRONG BRICK ON MY HOME and told me, "We will give you your earnest money back but we are not fixing it.". I was one of the first to put a contract on a home in my section and the price increased significantly. If I would have taken my earnest money back I would have been doing them a huge favor, they would have sold it to someone else for $50K more than I paid. What was communicated to me from sales and what construction delivered was completely different. Do not get my started on the Construction Area Manager, I do not understand how this person even has a job. The only piece of my experience that has been decent is with Warranty repair. It would serve Lennar well to remember that buying a home is an emotional purchase and the market is not always this good. I will forever strongly discourage buying a Lennar home to anyone and everyone. What I listed here just scratches the surface of this horrible experience. ... More

If at all possible DO NOT buy a house from Lennar. If at all possible they will take advantage of price increases on your contracted home to selectively cancel your contract and force you to re-contract on the same house at a higher price. They will do this the day before closing forcing your hand to fork over more money. The quality of the house is terrible. Our floor tiles buckle, the kitchen island is not level do food rolls off, the HVAC cannot maintain safe humidity levels, there are a number of mis-wired switches and missing GFCI and or AFCI breakers. Our master bath sink is cracked. Cracked kitchen cabinets. The WiFi they include with the house crawls like a snail, yard is not graded properly. Ductwork is not sealed properly. Windows were not caulked, Shower glass is damaged. Interior doors are warped. The list goes on and on. ... More

Asked several times to the office manager, who is not responsible for any warranty service call and has never returned or suggested where to call for the warranty repairs!

I am still waiting to hear back from lennarhoustoncustomercare@lennar.com. My air conditioning has been broke for THREE days now and nobody has gotten back with me!! Very frustrating!!

Quality of materials used is poor, property seems to have gone up quickly with a lack a quality control, when issues arise, there is a delay in response, appointments for repairs were made and no call/no show. Neighbors have expressed discord regarding quality as well.

Lennar should be embarrassed to close on a home in this poor condition. There is no quality control. From door knobs falling off to plumbing fixtures detaching. The list is long. I feel they threw my home together and they are taking their sweet time fixing all the problems. I do not recommend nor will I ever buy a Lennar.

Its always great when I contact the warranty department, get a date scheduled, and then nobody shows up or contacts me to reschedule.

Extremely sloppy work done. Most workers are so creepy and scary, you don't want them to come back to fix anything. Many, many holes inside and out, unfinished work, dents, paper or plastic painted over on walls. Not even cleaned before move in. Construction dust, dirt left behind. Dead plants. Just a disgrace.
