Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

After a month, I am still cleaning Grout and painting on the tile.

Happy to be a lennar family in connerton

Issues from start to finish. Deadline was off by 6 weeks, major incomplete projects after closing, NO timely responses, several points have to be deducted for quality of craftsmanship and supplies.

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.

Lennar was a great builder back in the day. The process was lengthy but that was expected. The wall paint is awful. The trim needs work and no one fixed the issues, which is unacceptable. No one will fix the issue since me and my wife signed the dotted line. Lennar knew of the issues. Tiles are not correct, the floor squeaks and they say it was done correctly. The rug isn't professional. My feet sink in the carpet to where I feel the hard floor. The lights on the ceiling fell and this is a new build, nothing should be giving me issues. The trim doesn’t meet together…..another issue that was brought to their attention; however it was not addressed. If I could rate responsiveness to the issues outlined in the wall through….. I rate a zero or negative 1. For a first time homebuyer, Lennar isn’t the ones to go to. Folks, do research prior to choosing a company to build your home. Sorry for the poor review but it’s my honest observations. The build happened so quick. With so many issues. Lights falling from the ceiling on a new build is poor building…… I’m not a builder but anyone that sees the quickness of this build say it’s terrible quality. Paying over 200k, I expect better quality. ... More

Be prepared to pay more than advertised. Option costs are not included in web pricing and every house gets option adds. Be prepared to pay more the day you sign a contract. Our home went up mysteriously $10K the night before we were scheduled to sign a contract. Dishonest business practice. Fit and finish is something to be desired. If you are OK with no screens on patio doors, no gutters, permanently mounted toilet paper holders too small to hold toilet paper rolls, poor concrete work, lowest grade carpet and padding you can find, no outside lighting over the garage door, a garage too small for most SUVs and pickups, a two-car garage that can really only handle one car, no storage whatsoever, crammed into 5 feet of separation between you and your neighbor on both sides, narrow driveways, and narrow streets, then this is the perfect home for you. Once you move in, you just start noticing these things. ... More

When we did the inspection few days before closing, the irrigation system broke. So Lennar turned it off. This killed our lawn because no water for the grass. Lennar promised us that they will take care of the lawn and irrigation system. What they did was let the irrigation water the grass everyday and the running time was very long. The front and back yard turned to paddle, wasted a lot water. The water bill for the first month was more than 600 with no one live in the house. And the house was very dirty, some construction waste left inside the garage. We have to hire the cleaner to clean the house before move in. We send email to Lennar and don’t get any response. ...

Everything was fast, easy, well-explained. Builder's team was knowledgeable, responsive. Thank you

My house was dirty when we moved in. The paint look like a child had painted the ininsideCabinets in my bathroom have glue all over them glue on the main bathroom floor. The light fixture in the main bathroom is falling down and no one seems to care. I can't walk on either side of my yard because there is a really bad slope

Day of closing home was not ready, all the issues get transferred to Home Warranty, it takes a long time and you buy a new home with things damaged or not finished and now you have to take care of it, make the calls then wait for a video call, then take time off work. I expected to have my home ready but sadly it was not, promised things were going to get done before we came back from our closing and it was not done. The people that work for Lennar are very nice but they are overwhelmed and over worked.

I feel the workmanship and some of the materials were shoddy and paint was not done properly. The excuse of having to paint in the dark was an embarrassing statement.

Just don’t do it. They totally took away from our first home buying experience and continue to do so as we speak.

I will speak of my home experience only. When I did my walk I notice on even doors closet door’s needed adjustment.kitchen cabinets are not self closing looks cheap. Had to add 1 extra light in the guest bathroom was to dark. Kitchen patio-doors. Needed to buy a screen for the doors separate did not come with the doors.. I believe Lennar homes needs improvements ..in for that they get 3 stars .thank you I hope everyone does a walk around before purchasing they home..

During the process of building the home there was no communication. We did the walkthrough and everything was in a hurry as we were closing in few days . The detail terminations of the house was done also at last minute . I think quality is always the key in building a home ! Thanks

Truly Amazing experience throughout the entire process

Too much hidden information that you must frantically discover with no help. Attempts at contacting help always fail with no assistance. Most assistance comes from neighbors.

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.

Moving into your first home is supposed to be a great experience.A month in sewage backing up into showers ,kitchen ceiling is leaking and causing damage to kitchen.Doors either only shut with force,won't stay closed or can be opened from outside even when its locked.For a week or 2 I slept with my children at my parents because of the door that could be opened from outside while in locked position.I know new home will have issues but this is ridiculous.I report and told will continue to bug the individual that can take care of it.I don't see it as bugging when my hard earned money goes into this home,a place for my kids to lay their head,I call it a dwelling can't call it home because we were rushed to close just to be living in it and areas taped off for repairs .Just not what was expected and if I could turn back hands of time. ...

Lennar provided excellent services.

Lennar is a poor builder that is full of excuses. They contract with cheap trades who do not respect that this is someone’s home nor do they care about their workmanship. Many of the trades have cut corners and did shotty work, including crooked doors, ceilings, and general crappy cover ups. Lennar should be ashamed of themselves.

Our realtor was fantastic and was the best part of the experience. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout the process. However the attention to detail was not as fantastic. Paint on the tiles, appliances not hooked up, missing ceiling fan because they just “forgot “ to install and no bath mirrors. I definitely think more attention to detail is important. They did correct the issues we had over the first 3 weeks it just takes a lot of phone calls and time.

Megan is the best she processed my loan other than her my experience the 2nd home purchase with Lennar was horrible he closing walk thru along with the new home orientation things were requested to be fixed and here we are o we a mother in our home and things are just being attempted to be fixed I would never buy form lennar again and hey forced a $10k on me for granite only in the kitchen and stainless steel appliances with I had no option on never again!

The expected construction time was way off time (almost 4 months earlier). I had to pay over $4,500 as penalty to my previous renters/realtor. I rented based on initial estimate giving by Lennar. I felt I was rushed to close the house. Even when I asked, I never was invited to see house while constructed (most of my neighbors where able to see and experience along their hose construction). I was only given pictures of the process. Houses in the neighborhood were received with welcome balloons, congratulation signs as well as a welcome gift which I never received. Now I been living here for a month or so, absolutely love it but my sidewalk is constantly flooded with dirt, sand and water making it very frustrating because it seems that all the neighbors water gets stuck in front of my house. It is very annoyed when you want to enjoy your front house with small children's and a dog. I am very concern about them playing safety as well as all the bugs population growing drastically in that area. The house sidewalks is and looks dirty an uninviting. This is my first and forever home and I am very disappointed on my experience. ... More

In my experience, buying the home was not the issue, it's been the follow up. Things like purchasing the home were explained clearly and upfront. Things like follow up about who to pay for the mortgage through Lennar the first month, how to pay the HOA, and how to get the key fob for the clubhouse or even where to get my mail from have been like pulling teeth!

My family and I had an awesome experience, we couldn’t be happier.
