Lennar Reviews in Punta Gorda, FL

The bones of our house are great but the finish detail is awful. Our agent did a good job working with us but construction and communication regarding the construction was disappointing. There were months when are house just sat there and nothing was done. Then the hurricane hit and the hurricane became the reason for no or slow movement on the house. Once we finally closed and moved into the house, the disappointment continued! Paint and finish work on the house are awful. Multiple interior doors need repaired or replaced. Paint and flooring need to be repaired or cleaned. When you buy a few house, I realize touch ups are needed but it has been ridiculous. ... More

When we decided to build in this community, the primary appeal was the golf course and new amenity center. Both of these areas are superb. The building process was slow, the communication was poor between building crew and us, the home was not complete when we closed and not for the Lennar warranty team of exceptional workers/vendors, I'm not sure we would be staying here.

Our home’s construction mgr assured us at closing that we would have his personal services for 2 months to assure everything would be great after closing. After 3 weeks, he told us to contact Lennar Warranty for any issues. He was busy prepping other homes to close. Major issues like the wrong keys to our front door are still not corrected after 6 weeks!!!!

We're so happy to have a new property, but the experience was not as expected. With no options offered to upgrade anything, everything is really "builder grade" finishings. Communication during the pre/closing time was not acceptable, nor was the early efforts to address the many punch list (pre-closing findings) and post closing warranty items. If we're in the market for another property, while we may consider another Lennar property, we'd strongly consider a different builder. With Lennar, you have to be focused and unrelenting in what needs to be addressed.

the closing process seemed rushed...Lennar should allow small upgrades during construction...ie Noseeum screens...light fixtures etc

My biggest disappointment is very poor communication, slow or no response to issues. Workmanship and materials are both mediocre.

Very disappointed with Lennar and their ability to call back or even acknowledge emails/phone calls/texts. Also with whom they use for the HOA at this time. The construction manager however was very pleasant and forthcoming.

While we love our new coach home, we were disappointed in the construction. The quality of the work need to be upgraded. Paint sloppiness, busted front door, miter joints off, not cleaned before we moved in. Why install screens if you have to have them replaced with noseeum screens at a 750.00 cost? The staff is very friendly though. I do think they want to make things better.

I bought my condo and closed no problem, once I got in I have had multiple issues with the heat and then no ac, cracked window sill, and after one week the unit two floors above had a water leak due to a poor installation of the dish washer and damaged my unit, going on week three and it’s still not livable, not the experience I was hoping for

Some were very professional and helpful; Austin our construction manager and Will our mortgage rep. Others not some much and when our home didnt appraise it became my problem with no help whatsoever. I expected some construction issues and there have been, some have been resolved promptly and we are still waiting on others.

Our project manager was great! However, the quality of craftsmanship by the trades, attention to detail, incomplete punch list even two months after closing, integrity, and timeliness of communication were unsatisfactory. We have a front door that needs to be replaced, a few broken cabinets, and a few other aesthetic things that need to still be fixed.

Our new home certainly wasn’t ready to close on closing the date, but we we’re forced to close anyway to avoid penalties. Most of the issues were looked after eventually, but here we are 5 months later and we’re still missing cabinets. Ever day I shake my head at our situation. This is not the first new home I’ve purchased but it is the first time I’ve had these kind of issues. Buyers be aware

Communication is nonexistent. Say one thing do another.

This was the second place we purchased at Heritage. I was pleasantly surprised that the walk-thru was clean (unlike our coach home). However, during construction, someone failed to tighten/glue/affix the plumbing so the condo flooded. It was fixed quickly and timely and the rug was replaced but... it was clearly a big issue and something so easy to be done by the contractors.

1. The mortgage interest rate offered when I was ready to lock in was almost 7 tenths of a percent higher than the national a average. I was compelled to shop with another bank in the 11th hour. This was then used as a tool to negotiate the rate below the national average. I thought keeping the title services and financing under Lennar's domain would be worth a slight premium, but they swung for a greedy outcome. 2. The Closing process was completed in last minute style. A.Materials and labor shortages were certainly an ongoing problem nationally, and our new build had numerous milestones to complete with one week prior to closing. Since Lennar is publicly traded there appeared to be intense pressure among its staff to close our property and benefit their 10Q filing. Here it is nearly two months after closing and numerous punch list items remain uncompleted. Craftsmanship was rushed. B. The actual closing date to sign all the documents remotely was a extremely stressful. I supposed to receive instructions a day head. I ended up calling Lennar's title company an hour before the scheduled close to enable instruction access. Then logging in with the remote closer was a technical challenge ... More

A week prior to close out the mortgage agent lack of knowledge brought aggressiveness, anger, inconvenient and tears.

Many variances from house to house. Initial finishing work not to standard. Punch list process is confusing and not very efficient. The bones of the house are great. It's taken over 40 days to get the needed corrections taken care of.

When I'm told something is going to happen by the job supervisor and then make excuses that it is not happening on that date. BE HONEST HONEST HONEST.

People are nice, but poor quality workmanship and cheap materials.

Lennar is a large impersonal company. Information flows downhill from above and it appears to me that most employees are afraid to act on behalf of the customer because they are afraid of making waves. This is my second Lennar house in 3 years and I have experienced this phenomenon repeatedly. Also, they are VERY slow to respond to service issues, especially if you are misguided enough, as I was, to close before the house was actually complete. Once they have your money, they are even more unresponsive. Be aware the Lennar is nothing more than a "tract" builder who is always trying to cut costs. This second home, for example, was built with much cheaper materials than the one from a couple years ago, despite the fact that the new home was supposedly a level above the last one. Lennar builds a half way decent house, but don't expect to be buying anything like a custom house, despite the inflated pricing. ... More

Not unhappy, generally speaking, but Lennar is a production builder and they're not flexible with the product they deliver. It's "garden variety". You can't upgrade anything. You get what you get.

Very poor workmanship, I am still awaiting the clean and move in ready home as promised.

Home was a disaster at walk thru, I should have walked out. Just as bad at closing. No one cared to get any work completed. Felt pressured into closing and was told not to cancel furniture deliveries even though house was not ready. Manager and crews had no work ethic and promised to complete tasks, yet did not. Poor craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Great sales team. Soooo many routine building issues / defects that should not have been there and 3 months later are not fully corrected. Lennar should have their own in-house repair team as this seems to be endemic - or at least the 12-20 other new homeowners we have discussed with have the same issues.

You have to watch all the time about the building of their house. I was living just right around the corner from my house being built and it was very frustating
