Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

In my opinion, lennar rushes through walk through and there is a lack of supervision while the house is being built. A house should only be allowed to be sold if perfect. Total lack of crafmanship....

My experience with sales was okay, Robin. The construction manager had promise to fix my problems at closing , still waiting .

We like our home a lot but somethings were done poorly, We had a broken cabinet when we moved in and called customer service someone said they would come fix it but never did and frankly we shouldn't have anything broken in a brand new home. We had a few other hiccups but overall we like our home and our community.

Painting was terrible on the doors. Drips everywhere. Paint overspray on fixtures, paint on every hinge. Excess caulk around entire floor. Still fixing issues.

Buying home from Lennar was easy but the quality of workmanship is not good. Had to go through Warrenty to get many things fixed. Very poor carpenter work, lose cabinets, door which doesn’t latch. Electric work also not great many switches were not fitted properly. Horrible pain job and even after getting the re paint the entire house is not looks patchy lol. I would never buy anything from Lennar.

Overall it was an okay experience. Unfortunately the excitement that comes with buying a home for the first time was deflated a bit when arrived to our home. It was painfully clear that sub-contractors were not held to any sort of standard resulting very poor craftsmanship. QA/QC was not conducted to standard by Lennar’s construction manager. Interior paint barely qualifies as single coat, tiles uneven, large portion of kitchen and bathroom floors were not caulked, nails left protruding through cement in garage, gaps in drywall in utility room, sprinkler system barely covered by dirt in places….the list goes on. We closed remotely making it difficult to assess quality through virtual means, I find it hard to believe the Lennar reps did not notice these issues. It seems as though the Lennar reps knowingly avoided correcting these obvious issues prior to the final inspection. Since moving into our home we have observed the conduct of contractors and Lennar reps during the weeks and days leading up to other virtual closings in our community which only reinforced my belief that most members of the Lennar team do not act in the best interest of the buyer. I have no doubt that I will discover more issues as time goes on; we have only lived in the home for a few weeks. To be fair, Lennar reps were fairly responsive to concerns when we pushed the issue but the quality of work performed to “correct issues” was just as poor as the original work. Tips: Do NOT close remotely, Lennar will take advantage of it. Hire a picky third party inspector and stay attached to his or her hip during by phase inspections. Make sure the inspection package includes a “Warranty Inspection” around the 11 month mark after your closing to fully capture warranties deficiencies. Use your own lender, Lennar’s incentives disappear through crazy math at closing and you’re still stuck with a higher interest rate. Be very thorough during your walk through and insist on re-inspecting prior to closing. ... More

I have over one month trying to fix cracked curbing in front of house. Watched as other homes still being built had their issues fixed while my request go ignored only because our home was already turned in to us. I have videos and pictures and will contact news outlets if necessary over this workmanship and lack of service.

Overall it was a below average buying experience with a few bright spots (personnel) alone the way. Home was delayed four months and quality was subpar. Upon completion, it seems lennar took many shortcuts on these homes. They didn’t provide basics for homes such as doorbells, lights in the front of the house and basic countertops. This is our second lennar home and our first was way better at a much lower price point. This will probably be our last.

My salesperson was very friendly and responsive. The communication as an out of state buyer was sufficient, but once she handed us off to the warranty people it’s all been downhill. Poor responsiveness, people leaving and now I don’t know who my contacts are. Outstanding work that should have been done prior to closing. A lackluster pre closing walk through, no explanation of systems. The grass laid down was dead when I closed but no one cares. The quality of workmanship and attention detail is severely underwhelming and not at all the condition I would expect a new home to be in. Would have a hard time recommending a Lennar home in this area to any of my real estate clients. ... More

My insurance lapsed because they didn’t pay the bill.

As far as my experience it’s been ok however, I feel like Lennar needs major improvement on their customer service/interaction with their customers, we need to provide better quality materials and do a better job on the cleanliness of a brand new home once completed. I wasn’t happy with my garage door / motor, as they promised it would be a good quality garage door/opener and I received the lowest possible garage door / motor. Lennar needs to give the customer more options and selections on picking colors and materials.

Communication was poor among the different professionals who I was working with during the home buying process (consultant, loan officer, construction manager, etc.). As soon as I closed, my consultant stopped responding to any emails for assistance with simple issues. There are a number of things that I have found after my initial walkthrough, within my first month of living her (i.e., cracked cabinets, paint flaws, grout flaws) that should have been done right in the first place that are frustrating to deal with now.

Sorry, I can't rate as long as the warranty claim hasn't been resolved!!! We wait 6 months for someone to come fix a warranty claim and....nothing, nobody....Lennar customer service ignores my email, sms or call !!!!

The only good thing about buying this home was the new home sales rep Brittney. She helped me with a lot of my concerns with Lennar customer service team and my issues with the community.

Overall happy with the house. Not happy with the process or our customer care agent.

This is a cookie cutter home. you are not allowed to change not even a light bulb. It is built very cheaply. Very few windows, no medicine cabinets or drawers in any bathrooms. all appliances are beginning level appliances. our dish washer wheels fell off 1 week after we moved in. The wash machine leaks, the faucet is already very loose. and I can go on. They promised us the lights for the garage and we are still waiting for them. We decided that we will just rebuild it as we go along.

Persistence is key when dealing with Lennar. Will receive push back if items are not on “List,” upon move in. If persistent, issues will be fixed. Patience is needed. Overall, love the home. Just wish Lennar handled things differently & utilized better quality materials.

Poor communication during construction process. Quality of home was subpar.

They build their houses fast and rely on the fact you have a 1 year warranty to fix the things they messed up on. That is only the things you find. The workers try to cover up mistakes even when some are obviously wrong. POOR integrity on the workers and PM building the house.

The builder's sales team did not respond to buyer needs and concerns. The construction manager was only interested in getting home to close, not in correcting any problems, raised by buyer. Attitude of sales staff was "take it or leave it, too bad."

The home is not up to the standard that I expected from Lennar. We have lived here for 3 months and are still waiting on things to be fixed that we told them about before we closed.

Not even 3 months owning the home and a leak from the upstairs vanity ran down through the downstairs ceiling and caused damage. Have been under repairs for over a month and still not completed.

Lack of communication and responsiveness. Poor workmanship.

Sales and finance team, Great job. The construction team/process is not so great - be aware: 1 - When performing the final walkthrough, many items (paint, drywall, windows, appliances, cabinets, etc...) were incomplete or damaged. Most of the things were addressed before and after closing, but some were not; we reached out to Lennar multiple times, and we have not heard from them.

I feel they rushed the preclosing inspection we marked a lot of items in the house thinking in a week when we do the closing day inspection everything would be done, we pulled up and there was a welcome home sign and balloons in the driveway. When we walked in very little was done so they have people coming and going to finish so we would close. It was totally rushed and mediocre job. The other upsetting thing was the backyard was not grades correctly and all around the back porch it floods. Still waiting for that to be corrected. They are building a house next to us and for 3 months there has been a 6 foot high mound of dirt in there backyard that we get to stare at when we are on the porch. We still have blue tape on kitchen cabinets where there are items that need attention. We called in September and the cabinet people said they are booked out till February. Although they are building homes that cabinets are going into everyday but they can’t take care of ours, Bottom line is Lennar needs to realize the customer deserves the attention of the builder till everything is completed. The follow up person was very good ( Edward) but they can only do so much seeing there are so many closings happening. ... More
