Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

I bought my house at the highest value and two months later I see other houses that look exactly like mine decrease by almost 20k. I understand it’s all about the market but that was drastic. The craftsmanship is ok but I notice the very small details that aren’t up to par. None of the air vent squares are straight and are slanted awkwardly. The sprinklers don’t work and I already called to put in an order and it was very bad customer service. The paint is chipped in some places. The layout is horrible. Yes it’s updated counters but the counters are so small it’s quite pointless. The driveway is the worst! Two car garage (barely) 1 car driveway which is horrible horrible horrible!!!! Love the idea, the style, just horrible layout and attention to details. ... More

I wish I would read the reviews about Lennar before buying my home from this company.

We purchased a new build Lennar home. We loved the layout of the house and the community is just what we were looking for. So, put up with the months of construction delays (never being informed properly about the progress) which forced us to live in an AirBnB for two months. We moved into a very dirty and unfinished house, It was not cleaned well after construction and all the issues we have raised beforehand were not addressed . So, our first few weeks / months in our brand new home was spent chasing Lennar. Poor job done by the painters, bickers, gardeners and an overall poor supervision by the construction team of Lennar. We been in discussion daily with the customer care rep. She do stay in communication with us and try to have all the issues corrected. I feel she is just as frustrated as we are. Unfortunately. we have had to spend most of our days off at home waiting for repairs to be done. We are still fighting with Lennar. It is just upsetting that we found a house we really liked and we walk into one problem after another. If I could have a do over, I would look for a different builder. But we don't have that option and will have to live with what we got. ... More

Warranty items are not addressed in a timely manner and numerous quality issues.

Sales Person and Warranty Rep were good and professional. Overall it was a mediocre to poor experience. I think Lennar's extremely inflexible polices along with their "anything to gouge out a buck" corporate greed mentality make it hard to rate it a good or great experience.

I am very disappointed with the quality of the house.This is my worst experience with a builder.There are a lot of issues in the new house, uneven and squeaky floors, low quality materials, appliances that are not working, garden drainage bevels that are not draining water out of the compound after every rain etc.

Carpet got paint drops on in bedrooms! Doorlocks at front door and garage door were sticky, not smooth to lock! White paint smeared on the bottom boards most corners....cable ends stuck out in the foundations! One of the wood board on kitchen floor starts to peel off!

The house is nice, but since I’ve been in my home I have had to replace tankless heater, washer is not working well, a lot of calking is cracking, the tile is very cheap and cracking throughout the house. For the price the house is valued at , it should not be valued over 300k. The sod in the yard was put down poorly and the garage door is already messed up. Not too happy with all the things wrong but I am happy I have property and will most likely sell in a few years not what I was expecting at all.

If I could do it all over, I would have gone with a different builder. The quality of the home is not good. I continue to find issues and warranty reps are not helpful. I was told one thing during my walk and now I am being told something different as far as what is covered.

I am beyond frustrated with Lennar. Every time I submit a warranty request, they find a new excuse to deny coverage. I’ve been told repeatedly that the issues I report would be covered—but only in other states, not mine. How does that make any sense? A national builder should offer consistent service, but instead, Lennar hides behind technicalities and loopholes to avoid doing the right thing. They make empty promises just to close the sale, but once you’re in your home and problems arise, you’re on your own. Their warranty is nothing but a sales tactic—absolutely useless when you actually need help. As a first-time homeowner, this has been a nightmare. I expected professionalism, responsibility, and support, but Lennar has delivered none of that. I deeply regret buying from them, and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. Buyers beware—Lennar will leave you disappointed and stuck with repairs they should’ve handled. ... More

The house was left extremely dirty between my final walkthrough and closing. There were many corrections that need to be made even after pointing them out at the walkthrough. The house seems to be very cheaply made. I have lived in the house for a month and my fence is already falling apart. For a brand new build you would expect a higher quality product. The Lennar team also schedules all of your appointments before checking your availability which is extremely frustrating and leads to longer wait times.

Lennar is a very basic home builder whose quality comes in on the lower end for workmanship and materials. They invest heavily in "quality control" and "customer care" that is mostly a facade. That money would be better directed at increasing the quality of labor and adding a few basics like towel bars and shower curtain rods that they cut corners on. If they would adopt a "done right the first time" they would not need an entire multi-level team of "quality control" and "customer care" reps who are little more than dispatchers taught to placate homeowners with words but deliver little in terms of actual solutions. I have had issues with electrical (bad breaker), masonry (bad seals allowing water to trip my electrical), plumbing (low water pressure and random faucet drips), foundation (moisture cracks), flooring (lifted tile), and grading (grading set too high on slab, craters in yard) and have only been in my home 7 weeks. I have had two different contractors no show multiple times, or show up and not complete the work they came to do. The contractors arrive misinformed and underinformed about the problem they are there to fix, without proper tools or crews. I have to invest significant time into waiting on contractors, rescheduling contractors, etc. A Lennar rep does not meet the contractors at your home unless you insist on it, and you are left to attempt to communicate what is needed, often with crews who speak minimal English. It feels like living in a home that is not yet complete, or is undergoing significant renovation, and is very disruptive to your quality of life. ... More

I will not be buying another house from Lennar - ever again. The entire house buying process was stressful, which is to be expected, but our loan officer, Sandra, seemed to be especially quite incompetent. Throughout the process, there were various hiccups and even errors made in numbers. We did not trust Sandra at all and thankfully things were caught because we reviewed everything multiple times. The communication was even worse, whenever Lennar wants something they pressure you to have it done ASAP but when you have any questions you basically need to contact them/remind them every single day for an answer. Sandra didn't even have the right date of our closing. The day of closing, literally two hours before it was scheduled, we did not know if it was going to be virtual or in person. We were supposed to receive our closing documents at midnight and at 7am the day of we had to chase Sandra because nothing had been sent - she had miscommunication with the closing team and we did not get our closing documents till about 1.5hr before the closing appointment. The builder, Rodney, although very attentive and reassuring during our first walk throughs, dropped the ball for multiple things. Our concerns were often dismissed or conveyed as "not serious" and we really had to advocate for repairs. It has been two months since we closed and we still have not had the kitchen light cover replaced that was cracked - and like mentioned before, we have had to contact Rodney and Lennar multiple times the past two months for them to address it. Lizz, the home consultant, has been equally disappointing in this experience. Overall, we are grateful to have a new home but we are disappointed with the company and not completely satisfied with the quality of our home. The only positive thing I have to say about this experience, is that we are glad we finally closed and that we don't have to deal with them again. ... More

Had a bad experience with the sales guy. Felt like a military recruiter - made promises that I would get certain things included in the house and on the papers I had to sign, he purposefully left that out. Told me I had nothing in writing which was very sketchy. Talked to some neighbors and at least 4 others had a similar experience. I really did not want to give him the commission on this sale but I had to get the house. The finance team was also a nightmare. More times than I can count I was asked for docs that were supposedly due the next day and they would be sent to me at midnight (or later). My calls and emails were constantly ignore or I would receive an extremely delayed response. Overall, this was a really bad experience especially for it being my first house. There was a couple people on the construction team that made it better when doing walk throughs and such but other than that, I would not deal with the Lennar team again. I was hoping to have a much better first time homebuying experience. ... More

I didn’t care for the experience Lennar had to offer, from loan approval to buying. You guys talk a big talk to get us in, but I didn’t care for the final product, I’m not one to complain because I know how to fix anything. But truly Lennar if I could say sux, I would but I just can’t. Anyhoo, I will not recommend anyone to go through this experience said to say, I mean just ask my wife she has it all written down, all of Lennar’s mistakes

The sales manager was very hostile to me and showed zero human feeling to any challenges that the buyer has. His goal was just to get the property sold at the end of the month to preserve his bonus. This is the most inhuman treatment I have ever had from a seller of a home and I expected Lennar to do better.

It was difficult getting anyone when you needed answers to immediate questions, always had to leave messages and wait for responses. It was nerve wrecking to wait as needed answers to make informed decisions.

Terrible management yard looks terrible couldn’t answer any questions and walked out

Quality is very poor. finishes are substandard just and cheap. No pride in workmanship. Damages hidden and not even an even coat of paint.

Lennar representative explained everything as common and normal where poor quality of workmanship and bad materials were pointed. His name is Kurt. For example when I pointed a standing water he, said it is normal for drainage. There was a gap in the main door and frame and Kurt said he will block with the bubble gum he was chewing. This is not acceptable and he is very rude and disrespected to us.

The home buying process was a nightmare from having a processor who had been only been working for 2 weeks in his position to a lender who had only been working in hers for a month. Closing day I still didn’t know my closing costs, I’ve now been in my home a month. I’ve run into SEVERAL issues from a faulty breaker box, to a improperly installed garage door just to name a few. I’ve put in SEVERAL repair requests and not one of the items have been completed. The communication is horrible, if you need anything repaired be prepared to pay for it out of pocket because you will be completely ignored. I spoke with several neighbors who are all having the same issue with the breaker box and none of ours have been repaired it’s ridiculous! ... More

I'll say the sales member for Lennar was probably the best employee Lennar has. He was always returning calls and finding solutions for us if we had an issue. On the other hand, the builder was not. The builder/CM was always giving some excuse and or promising something and not coming through. We have since closing, realized how much he missed in the building process as well as didn't do something he said he would before close. Have heard rumors that he's just average in terms of CM and was not the best one on this development. I can certainly attest to that at this point.

Very poor customer service and difficult to get warranty work done. Lennar lacks ownership of responsibility and transparency. I would never recommend buying a home from Lennar.

If I could turn back the hands of times I would have never bought a home with this builder. My salesman David was to sum it up the worst if you get him run immediately. Tiffany my loan officer tried to get me to close on a house I wouldn't be able to take possession of just so they wouldn't have to redo paperwork. It's been a month my front lawn has fallen into the street my cabinet fronts are falling off, I have standing water in yard and they never relaid the sod so now its mud and weeds and they stripped it from the edges so the grass doesn't even meet the sidewalk. Byer Beware

Very dissatisfied with my yard. It has so many holes and bumps when it was laid. There are so many small things that wasn’t addressed after my walk and still waiting on materials to come in to fix them.
