Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

My experience so far with Lennar Triple Creek 50 QR, has been very negative. Mainly since moving into the home there has been a strong (methane/sulfur) odor problem in the house that has not yet been resolved. A work order submitted via the Lennar Home Warranty Portal, only to have it denied stating "not covered under warranty" Workmanship, materials and appliances are of poor quality, The home is not worth the price paid. I regret making this Lennar at Triple Creek 50 QR home purchase.

When looking at the home, we were told that ALL lawn and landscape maintenance was covered - lie. We were told that the gates would start to be closed for security - lie. We were told that the amenities we are paying for are for use of only residents - lie, because the gates are left open anyone can and do come in to user our sports courts, pool, and trespass fish. I have submitted two requests to get the swamp that is the drainage area on the side of my home - nothing. If anyone reading this is considering buying from Lennar, look elsewhere. You will be told anything to get you to buy only to find out that you have been lied to. ... More

On the day of closing I went to home to do another inspection and items like the cabinets that had scratches were not fixed. Was told that it will be done when I come back from closing. Never happened and it’s now been 2 months and I still haven’t gotten it fixed. So don’t sign until the items they need to fix is fix because then u will end up having to do the run around

Thought we made a good choice. Buying part was rough and a lot of bad information and uninformed people. Once moved in, if we communicate issues found, nobody cares or shows up to fix them. Really thought Lennar was better than this. Thought wrong.

Not a great experience.. no attention to details.. promise they would fix things when we went to closing on the way back nothing was done.. we owned a west bay home and a GL home and this was the worst ..

The experience has been an experience you do not want as a homeowner. It started with discouraging you from having a Realtor and getting a Lawyer. Get your home inspected as there are many flaws and some areas not completed to standards. You must take your time during the initial inspection of your home to include the outside landscaping area. I had dead trees and when request of replacement was done Lennar stated that landscaping is not included. Ensure your irrigation system works!!! Tiles in the home chipped and cracked not replaceable by the warranty, do not understand this!!! Check your electrical outlets. Last minute planted grass in the back of house was in horrible condition!!! Crown mouldings inconsistent with incomplete pieces in some areas in the house. Caulking not completed in bathroom areas!!! No peep hole on door!!! Ring doorbell didn’t work and I had to replace it on my own!!! Check that Ring light is spinning for set up. Check cabinets as some are misaligned and screws not completely screwed in, you can see gaps in the kitchen cabinets doors. Bricks pavers were loosed and cracked outside!!! Cracked tiles on roof!!! There are too many things to list as we have been discovering them after moving in!!! Just take your time when inspecting the home!!! ... More

So, there were multiple cracks on the masonry of our Lanai, it was hard to ignore. The construction manager kept saying it was within code. We had to put up quite the fuss, including consulting a lawyer to get them to fix the cracked Lanai on our supposed new house. Since moving in, one of our house numbers fell off. 3 out of the 4 house numbers were glued on instead of being nailed down. It's still not fixed. First, we needed to put in a service request online. Then we had to set up a virtual appointment to show them the issue ( only available during weekdays during work hours mind you) and then will need to schedule the actual appointment to get the work done. So yeah, they don't make it easy to get help to fix their mistakes. ... More

Poor craftsmanship and low budget materials and design decisions. The sales team only cares about one thing; taking your money and the construction / install team do not take any pride in their work. The communication between all departments was terrible. They are all reactive and not proactive in more ways than one. If I had to do it all over again I would not buy a home with Lennar. I do not recommend this company and if know anyone considering in purchasing a home with Lennar I would advise them to reconsider.

Not worth the price. Workmanship and quality are poor, and customer service after closing is terrible. Find another builder.

The house was not cleaned at all prior to closing, and we were promised that things would be fixed in the days after our closing. We still have not had anyone come to our house to touch up the damaged walls and paint issues. The concrete driveway has FOOTPRINTS on it from the construction workers, but Lennar says 'its within tolerance' so nothing will be done about PERMANENT FOOTPRINTS in our concrete driveway. Horrible experience and will never buy Lennar again. Also the sales agent Yatsi is among the worst sales agents we have ever dealth with. Totally clueless.

Too many problems throughout the process. Starting out with many misinformation while dealing with the selling consultant. A significant amount of builder fee had not been told until after the down payment was made. Slow responses to requests throughout the entire process. Finance advisor was the worst, not being responsive, giving high mortgage rate and manipulating the closing disclosure to keep it high. I ended up paying a much higher closing cost than expected even after seller incentive. Lack of communication among different groups within Lennar, between Construction and Closing, Consultant, etc. My closing date was delayed 3 times. As the results, I have to put my furnitures and belongings in storage because the house was not ready as planned. That cost me extra money for pay for storage and a second move from there to the new home. I asked Lennar to help out with a small compensation, but was refused despite the fact that they caused these delays from not having the home available for closing in three scheduled closing dates. The final inspection was carried out despite the tiles was not even installed on the roof. At one time, one day before the scheduled closing, I drove to the site to verify if everything is ready for the home to be occupied, and found out the tiles were not even installed. But, no one from Lennar let me know about that. I found out myself because I did not trust them after being given misinformation and empty promises many times. Now, after moving in for more than a month, many issues found during the Orientation/final inspection still haven’t been taken care of. The saga continues. It’s felt like Lennar Management here may be out of touch or possibly don’t even care about providing and maintaining a reasonable customer service! It has been a terrible experience for us that leaves us a bad impression of this builder’s reputation from their mismanagement and bad customer services! ... More

The experience we had was too much to put in writing but would be open to discuss.

The sales person was awesome to deal with through the whole process and is the only person that helped me resolved major construction issues. The Lennar Construction Rep was not knowledgeable and lacked insight and dedication to resolve issues identified by me or a 3rd party inspector. Now I’m dealing with major and minor construction warranty issues with no follow up by a new Lennar Warranty rep. Seems like it’s a common thing.

Overall, the buyer needs to provide significant oversight to the quality product. We had over 96 items on the original punch list which happened approximately four weeks prior to closing. On the day of closing there still over 25 items not taken care of. Lennar needs to implement better quality control procedures.

The was a huge pressing for closing. Townhome was delivered with several issues. Two months after the closing, there are issues open yet. Do not recommend.

We purchased our Lennar home in May, and when we did our final walk through a number of items were still not finished or were finished with poor workmanship. We were assured the items would be finished before our celebratory walk and they weren’t. I have found over 90 items that need to be addressed, some as serious as bad wiring, no electrical throughout the home, broken appliances, water heater not properly installed and the list unfortunately goes on and on. The house was left filthy after the build (debris left in the home, drywall dust on everything, dead bugs etc). We were once again assured at the final walk through that our home would be deep cleaned to address our concerns. Of course nothing was done. We asked several times and we’re told it would be addressed but instead we had to hire and pay a cleaning company to have it move in ready clean. When we tried to be reimbursed we were denied. We didn’t expect to have to pay hundreds of dollars to do their job for them. This is not our first new build but this is our first time dealing with this level of issues straight out the gate. We are not impressed with our experience with Lennars customer service/work order maintenance. Be prepared to spend your first year in your home addressing an insane amount of “finishes” issues. They flew through putting these houses up and missed numerous big and little details to the build. I’ve already reported 20 issues and we’ve lived in our home 1 week!!! Lennar needs to step their game up! ... More

The home wasn’t completed when it was supposed to be. They then rushed through getting everything done and the quality really suffered. The home was not at all clean when I moved in and the construction manager’s response was that his cleaning crew didn’t like him. If that’s the case find a new cleaning crew. I’m still waiting for them to get the excess paint off the windows and carpet and clean the concrete from my kitchen baseboards. They also had some sort of film on my oven that was never removed. The construction manager assured me everything would be done by closing and pretty much none of it was and it’s over a month later and it still hasn’t been. ... More

On day 1 we had a water leak because a pipe from the AC unit burst inside the house. Weeks of inconvenience and worry. The paint is already peeling. Issues with the washing machine and windows. Very sloppy workmanship with little or no supervision. There is more I could add.

Lennar was very attentive and friendly UNTIL we closed . Since then nothing . Promises made and thus far not kept . This is a beautiful development and nice homes . It is a shame we can not get any one from Lennar to respond . There are finish details to fix , still no mailbox key . We are very disappointed .

I had tenant moved into my new house with lots of issues, unfinished drywall paintings, big issue AC is still NOT working after moving into the house for more than a month, glad our tenant was tolerant. Tenants started complaining about noises on the pipes, glad it turned out be something small. This was my worst experience and appreciate if you can look into the issues, this is my fourth home, I am owning and never had any serious experiences like this with any other builder. Hopefully someone can focus on these issues and come up with a resolution soon

Terrible. Have not been fixed. Nothing. No response.

Everything was shiny and painted very pretty in the beginning. Unfortunately that was not the case. My move in date was pushed back multiple times, I was asked to close on the home prior to having the keys to the home. I found many errors during the walk through and was told the errors would be completed prior to my celebration. On celebration day the errors were not completed and I continued to find more defects, and was told to submit warranty tickets. My kitchen is still missing cabinet doors. Lennar gave me the keys to my house knowing the house was not ready and not build to standard. This is an extremely overpriced house and they sell it has if you are getting high-end finished and appliances and that is not the case. Very disappointed and upset. ... More

I'd love to share photos of the subpar workmanship throughout the entire home. From cracked drywall and ceilings, uneven and poorly installed crown moldings and baseboards, sloppy painting, unfinished lanai patio and concrete areas, cracked garage floors, doors installed incorrectly, missing towel and toilet paper holders, chipped tiles, and the list goes on and on. Check your included options on your contracts and make sure you get everything on that list before you close. This will be my first and last Lennar home. Lesson learned!!!

This was my second time buying with Lennar, and I was very disappointed. My first property/purchase was very smooth and good quality, but this time around things were subpar. I understand that construction has become more difficult since the pandemic due to supply chain issues, but the quality of the work doesn't also have to suffer. There were many careless errors that happened during the construction process; it was obvious that very little care was taken by the construction team. The number of issues noted during the walkthroughs was very high and very disappointing. I did not get the keys until almost 3 weeks after closing due to the construction team addressing some of the issues noted but almost half of the issues still remain. Furthermore, I was also disappointed by the buying process. My sales agent was only responsive when it was convenient for him; when I had questions or concerns that weren't urgent, he ignored me. The closing process was also a debacle. Lennar title and the construction manager did a horrible job of obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy. The title company should not have scheduled closing prior to obtaining it since we could not close without it. Since there was a delay in obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy, the closing had to be postponed several times. Once we finally had the certificate, Lennar title obligated myself and my co-signer to complete the closing in a very short timeframe and on very short notice. It was a very stressful process buying with Lennar, and I don't think I will continue to recommend Lennar like I used to. ... More

It’s all peaches and cream during the initial buying process. You get the sales pitch. You view the model homes. They are meticulous from ceiling to floor. You choose your home. The build begins. 5 months later your new home is ready to view for the first time. The New Home Orientation begins. The excitement builds. You arrive to see your driveway ripped up. Roof unfinished. Nothing mechanical working in the home. A/C. Hot water. Thermostat missing. 100 degrees inside. I could go on but it’s been exhausting reliving that day. Lennar blew it on making a great first impression. It’s been over 2 months and there’s still deficiencies waiting to get addressed. Lennar….do it right the first time…would be a building philosophy to adhere to. I thought my issues were a one of however mine are just added to the pile as many other residents have the same or worse. We’re trying hard to keep calm, carry on and be positive. Life’s too short to worry. Lennar don’t give a darn once they have your cash. I’ve sent 2 other reviews to Lennar as glowing as this one. I’ve yet to hear from anyone from that Company. ... More
