Lennar Reviews in Fort Myers, FL

Damage to window glass and other issues. Also electrical outlets not installed properly. Requiring calling warranty to repair.

Buyer beware. Read the contracts carefully, do a thorough walk through and list each and every needed repair or replacement. Do a follow-up walk thru before taking title. Contractor's repairs are made at their convenience, not yours.

Unbelievably difficult to get anything fixed. Will NEVER buy another Lennar product

Changes are made to the house without telling the buyer.

A few staff made the after purchase activities a traumatic and stressful situation. The house is okay but know the model houses are upgraded and made very nicely. Your house will not look the same and the quality of the work does not compare to the one provided to the model houses.

Not good on helping with warranty items

The builder had three heads (Sales/Construction/Closing). Ryan (Sales) did a good job. Sadly Construction and Closing were generally poor. Unnecessary pressure was applied by Closing whilst Construction obviously could not achieve the completion dates given. Completion delayed by three weeks due to poor workmanship, mainly damaged doors. The Construction guys are OK when you find out who they are. From a Purchaser's perspective, the completion and closing process could be much improved by using a single point of contact.

The workmanship on the interior walls is very bad, when doing the walk through there were no lights in the home, so we could not see how bad it really was, but now that we have lights, the walls are terrible. The dryer was not installed incorrectly because the set screw was not tightened on the cord and that caused smoke and arcing, we have not had a dryer in 3 weeks. The tree in the backyard has been leaning almost to the ground since we moved in and looks terrible. Overall, I am very disappointed in the quality of work for a 2036 square foot home that we paid $441,000, I expected more from Lennar and could not possibly recommend them to friends or family. ...

We moved in April 22 and from the we still waiting for our ICE MAKER. Details door paint with different white, area unfinished still open. From Lennar care they want to close all WO immediate even it’s no complete and open another (no agree)

Building a home is very difficult, but building during a pandemic is extraordinarily stressful. supplies are always limited and timelines are completely disregarded. there needs to be teams working with the buyers in order to keep communication flowing. It seems that materials that arrive or not going to the homes that have been waiting the longest, but being distributed randomly. I am sure this is wasteful and costly for the builder, but frustrating for the buyer who waits months for supplies to arrive at their home only to see that other homes that were purchased much later were completed much faster. The entire build process needs to be reevaluated so that buyers are not left during a very busy season to be scrambling to find somewhere to stay because of all the delays. Once we were assigned a new project manager, the communication did improve. Donald did a great job trying to relay problems to us; however, his hands were tied with being able to resolve issues in a reasonable amount of time. Once our home was completed, there were multiple issues with the construction and cosmetic appearance of the home. Many items were damaged or not done at all, and here we are two months later still trying to get things repaired. I would definitely not do this again. I believe that Lennar could be much greater than they are, but they are completely focused on money instead of quality. ... More

I have had a number of issues with extremely low response time. Anything from 6 weeks for garage remotes, missing support clips in the panty, paint touch up, ring and flo don't work, etc! The latest is the pump in the washer broke 10 days ago! The service person came yesterday and it needs to be ordered. Probably looking at another 2 weeks without a washer!

Careless workmanship and lennar is unresponsive to the issues once title is turned over.

When purchasing my new home at Lennar what was presented to me was not what was delivered

We closed 4 months ago and I'm still waiting for items to be repaired/replaced. I've made numerous inquires and all I get is stalling. Some of the finishes aren't the best and after you close you have to spend a small fortune to customize the home. Lennar doesn't allow you to do it during construction when it would be cheaper and easier. Next time I will use a true custom builder.

Feel that Lennar is more concerned about the quantity of houses rather than the quality.

I'll never buy from Lennar again.

Very misleading sales experience. Average warranty follow up. Average workmanship on overall build. Warranty items are bound to happen, but some of it stems from poor workmanship in the start. Community is very nice. The layout makes it esthetically pleasing. Amenities are nice. Gated community, not so much due to on going construction.

Punch list not finished before closing, promises made never kept. Appliances were stolen and replaced with stored ones that were dented and not working properly, was told that it was a “Ge” issue. Had to go to BBB to get fridge that was not working replaced less then 90 days from closing. Had to go to headquarters to get any help With having house punch list finished.

The responsiveness of the Lennar team post closing has been unacceptable. This was compounded by many issues of poor quality materials and poor workmanship.

Overall the buying experience was your typical one…Nothing special. However I would not recommend Lennar Homes as their workmanship and quality of materials used are extremely poor. I have found holes where they didn’t bother fixing because they covered it up with equipment or other items. Homes are built so fast that there is no possible way to have it deemed even sub-par. The electrical wiring is not copper…It’s just wrapped with copper such that when a wire is pulled it simply snaps. Lennar uses the most cheapest material they can find from the quartz countertop (and it’s a mix of quartz and a less quality material) to their wiring and equipment. Even the shower tiles look like they’re from the 1990s! 12”x12” tiles ugly beige tiles! Really??? Don’t recommend buying a Lennar Home. ... More

Lennar quality in work is not up to par for what you pay for. Cheap cabinets, driveway done incorrectly and answering back with concerns is awful.

The workmanship is lacking and responding to fix things is awful

Had to place best and final bid offer for home. You'll never know if you overbid or not. No customizing your new build, which is not what was communicated to us until it was too late (would have to give up deposit). They rush you to make your deposits and closing on your home, but are slow to respond when issues arise. They also don't give you timelines on how your home is progressing in the building phase. Not sure I would recommend them at this time. This makes me think twice about buying a new construction home in the future.

Poor quality, workmanship, and materials

This is our second and last lennar home. The Constructon quality has gone down from the drywall finish, paint, trim ect. Every punch item is pushed back and you fight to get every repair done. We are not happy with any part of this long process.
