Lennar Reviews in Naples, FL

The whole experience was terrible. It was supposed to be a happy experience. We paid a lot but yet the quality was sub-par. It was a fight to have them get anything done and things were promised to get done that still haven’t. We will never buy from Lennar again.

Our home was not delivered on time not anywhere near the date that was told to us when we purchased it. When we did close and moved in we found at least 40 plus items that needed to be addressed which we have submitted tickets for repairs. Our construction manager promised he would deal with them and disappeared then we were given another contact and they disappeared. We have lived in our home for over a month and still do not have mirrors. When you submit tickets for repairs the contractor just shows up without scheduling with us and we have to work we can’t just sit around every day waiting. We have been threatened by Mike B. that he is going to cancel our submitted work tickets because we are not able to be here every day when they show up. These items should have completed before we moved in not after when we have to miss work, I can not be home every day waiting for contractors. Not a sole cares about the situation they all pass the buck and Lennar is just about $ not customer service. Their workmanship is appalling and they should be embarrassed. ... More

In the four homes we have had built in our lifetimes, this was the worst experience from start to finish with having a new home built. It took over 15 months to complete the home. This was a subdivision 1 level 1850sf cookie cutter home nothing custom. It became very apparent that Lennar was overcommitted and had to much WIP (work in progress) open which basically paralyzed productivity. For the entire duration, we had to be the ones to prod and ask for updates, which were vague and usually a bunch of excuses. Lennar has many issues but it’s biggest issue is zero ownership of anything. I’ve never in my career seen so much lack of ownership and quick to blame others and not just address/correct the issue. When it was finally getting close to the finish line after blowing four “it will be done in a month” guesstimates, we were finally told that the home is ready for walk through. We flew across the US for the walkthrough only to be insulted by it being completely undone and trashed. We arrived and the homes doors and windows were all wide open to the elements. It was dirty and filthy throughout. Missing doors and damage to the finishes everywhere. It was a complete waste of our time and money to even come down. We ended up closing about 3 weeks later and although they did a couple things, when we moved in the floors were filthy and had caulk and paint all over them. Tile floors had chips and scratches, the trim was chipped and dented, doors had holes in them, closet doors were not even hung just leaning against the walls in the halls, the garage floor was dirty and had to be sprayed down due to a blue chemical on the floor, the garbage disposal was not connected but rather a live wire where the switch would be was exposed under the sink. Basically we bought a used resale home and not a new home. There’s no way you could call this a new home when you look at the finish work…it is so dented and beat up it looks like a lived in 10-20 year old home. Then to top it all off the first day of move in we had a roof leak. This was the first time we got to see Lennar quickly jump into action. They came out and started with dry out equipment and tarped the roof. After about 4 days of dry out, which was very loud by the way, they had the roofing contractor come and fix the leak. Turns out the leak was due to shoddy waterproofing work at the ridge vent, after talking with the remediation folks and neighbors this seems to be a common everyday thing….no biggie for Lennar. Again not very new house Feeling. Two months into owning the home, Lennar is actioning the items on our initial 25+ item list, which my expectations are so low of Lennar that I’m actually pleasantly surprised that they are jumping into trying to address the issues. Still have a nice big ceiling stain in the home along with missing trim from the roof leak, which again doesn’t make you feel like you bought a new home, but hopefully in the coming weeks they will fix and hopefully they fix it like new and not just more amateur hour finish work workmanship. If I were consulting Lennar, and they should pay me for this consult, I would tell them their biggest issues are extreme lack of ownership from bottom to top and at every level of management, extremely poorly managed job sites, opening up too much WIP and not being able to effectively and efficiently complete the work, and some of the poorest quality finish work ever, which in the end that’s the biggest thing most of their customers are going to see and judge on. I truly am amazed that this is a publicly traded $12 billion a year in revenue builder. I work for a pathetic $1 billion a year in revenue company and they would never allow this level of incompetence and lack of ownership management. They would fire everyone from bottom to top until the issues were rectified. This is also a company, which serves the electric utility industry, that will send one of their private jets and engineers and equipment if the customer has an issue immediately. They actually care about their customers because as they say, our customers never have to buy from us ever again. I feel like that is a motto Lennar should adopt to attempt to strive to something better than where they are today. ... More

Lennar turned what should have a been pleasant experience into a nightmare! If I had known then what I know now about the Lennar process and the agonizing efforts to get things fixed, I would never have bought a Lennar home in this community. I only hope that once the community is completed my experience becomes more positive.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail has been poor. Many sloppy errors and work left unfinished. Follow-up has been terrible. I am two months past closing date and nothing has been resolved. Appointments made and not fulfilled.

These has been a nightmare for me. The apartment was not ready at the time of close but under threat of losing money they forced me to close. 60 days after not a single Lennar employee has come to fix the 26 issue that I have in the apartment. Do not trust Lennar Sales team or you will pay the consequences.

We were and are excited about moving into the community of Ave Maria. Our purchase of the Ariaballa not so much! The quality and workmanship of this build has alot to be desired. Lennar was quick to take our money and when we notified them of the several issues it seems to have landed on deaf ears. From garage overhead doors that don't function, to missing trim, missing shower doors, several damaged and marked cabinets, and a long list of other items. Our suggestion would be to run as fast and far away from Lennar as possible!

Builder is not at all responsible. Very slow to address issues.

Quality of workmanship is horrible. Materials used are cheap and very low quality. Every issue I have brought to their attention to be fixed has been answered with a response of " that's just how it is" or "there's nothing we can do about that now" or "if we fix it, it could create even more problems or make it worse". Would not recommend Lennar as a builder to anyone.

Bottom of the line appliances; no insulation; thin walls, cheap fixtures.
