Lennar Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

Lennar sales and finance people were great to work with and buying a Lennar home was easy! Any time I have had an issue with my new house their warranty people have been kind and responsive. However, Lennar compromised on the quality of some of the materials. The quality of the interior paint is terrible! It picks up marks from simply touching it and cannot be cleaned without exposing the driwall. The carpet is also of very low quality picking up dirt and staining with normal use. It has gone from a light gray to a dingy tan with casual use. The exterior foundation is covered with a brittle sealant foam that breaks off with accidental contact. These low-quality items were disappointing. After purchasing a house, having to replace paint and carpet in the first year of ownership is financially challenging and irritating ... More

Lennar overall is a good company. The construction manager we had was awesome!

Everything is NOT included. Found out I had to buy appliances AFTER I put money down on the house. Also the lot grading was not made clear. The vacant lot was relatively flat and level, but the finished house is now sitting on quite an elevation (steep driveway)

Check the work constantly, every detail

In a volatile market Lennar offers a good value. Unfortunately the home you chose might as well have been already been built. No choice of upgrades, colors, etc. We liked the community, floor plan but wished we could have made it more to our personal taste. Ended up spending more money to make changes, color schemes to our taste, frustrating part of an otherwise exciting experience of building a new house.

Overall, we’re very happy with our home and the neighborhood that was created by Lennar. We are especially happy with the layout & design and the comfort of our home. However, some of the features describe to us during the purchasing process turned out not to be true, i.e., light fixtures and smart home support. The biggest disappointment is the landscape drainage and the grading of our lot which Lennar refuses to correct potentially leaving us with problems in the future.

I really like the layout of my house but was very disappointed in Lennar's lack of pride in the quality of workmanship. There were way too many punch list items. Most were taken care of but some will be addressed at the year review.

The process was smooth but there was always something missing in every step. lennar mortgage part was missing communication in all levels. The lender did not have patience and did not answer all our questions in timely manner and finally started to respond after i kept calling and bugging her. . The sales part was good and all but did not provide us with all details of the upgrade options. We wanted the back patio but he did not tell us that was even an option he only mentioned the screened porch. Later after we signed only then when we realized that the patio did not come with our screened porch. Then the HOA part. Weve been calling them to get more info on community restrictions but theyre not responding and on top of that from reading on their page its so sad to hear that were unable to have a vinyl fence. And only a metal fence is allowed. All in all lennar home is a good purchase but definitely many things to fix as far as customer satisfaction and customer service ... More

The style, floor plan and woodwork in the house are very nice. However, we have significant concerns about several major unresolved quality and workmanship issues dating back to before the home completed construction that we plan to address with Lennar directly. It is our intention to schedule a meeting with Lennar management representatives as soon as possible. We would be thrilled to hear from Lennar.

My Kitchen island countertop granite has crack , reached out for warranty and was told this is not warranty issue .. There is water disposing next to my driveway ..

Overall good value for money spent

Lennar could do better. In an effort to push out as many homes as possible, they missed the mark on quality and service. It’s unfortunate because it could be a great value, and many of the people involved want to provide a better product and experience.

The building process revealed many problems that came up - some still exist and can not be corrected .

The structure and neighbors are great. The process with the mortgage loan by Eagle was not good. Communications with the sales staff after signing the agreement to purchase essentially disappeared. Transparency from the corporate group is/was questionable regarding the status of the overall property transactions. Getting a straight answer regarding an estimated completion date for the amenities center continues to be a challenge.

The granite counter in the kitchen appears to be of second quality with chips along the edges and even in the center, it lacks that rich, smooth feel usually found on good quality granite. The kitchen and vanity cabinet doors were not properly adjusting banging into walls and other cabinets. A tremendous amount of drywall debris and dust in brand new duct work being sucked into the air handler in the attic and blown throughout the vents of the home. Cracks in cement driveway going from one side all the way over to the other side, sealed and then painted so as not to be noticed but instead it makes it even more noticeable. EVP flooring that is nothing more than cheap linoleum that dents and chips so easy that you become afraid to even walk on it and we never wear shoes indoors. Wood handrails get stained but then are not properly sealed leaving them very rough to the touch. I could go on but I think that you get the message. You need to be a mountain goat to mow the yard, when we picked our lot it was at the very beginning all of the land was gently sloping. Now they are terrible lots. Also the homes in this community seems to be all variations of blue/grey....it's like living in a housing project for section 8 occupancy. ... More

The inside paint job was poor. There are streaks & drips. Looks like it only has one coat of paint.

Overall experience has been below average.

Poor quality control of subcontractors. However, when the home owner identifies problems, they are quickly repaired.

Overall, very pleased with the total purchasing, building, and move-in support processes. We were a little disappointed in the inability to make "minor" changes to the building plan months prior to construction actually starting. Not real pleased with the way the property was final graded. The degree of slope and the drainage between the houses causes standing water/mud. Also, much of the foundation concrete slab is exposed with the slope starting immediately next to the house.

Punch List items not corrected at move in - couple were never addressed - had to fix myself. Sales team was awesome but construction manager not responsive to problems.

What can I say, it's new construction by a national builder that has to build quickly and cheaply. They boast their energy efficiency but use a construction grade electric hot water heater and there's no additional insulation in the attic. Cabinets are already chipping and we've only been here 5 months.

Before purchasing, I was made to feel important. The day after closing, major water issues surfaced. From that point, I no longer felt important to Lennar. It took 20 days for the water issue to be fixed. I was not compensated for being displaced during that time. My time nor delayed moving plans were not considered at all. My first month mortgage was not prorated. As a first time homebuyer, it was awful and traumatic! It was a nightmare! I closed on March 1st, and, I'm still awaiting a reply from Lennar management. Lennar has yet to rise to the occasion and make this situation right. At this point, I would not recommend Lennar. ... More

The sales team at my subdivision was wonderful. However, the building process and the quality of my home is not worth the price point. I had to spend more money to correct cracked floors, a broken truss and framing that included “organic growth” that the builder said wasn’t mold. I have barely been in my home 60days and it’s clear that there was no attention given to detail. The ceilings are already separating from crown molding, walls separating from baseboards, issues pointed out at the final walk-through have reappeared.and window sills separating. In my mind, some of that is to be expected within six months to a year, but less than three months? For the price point, the craftsmanship is disappointing to say the least. ... More

Overall construction is good but there are a few like Landscaping, and final cleaning which were worst. Things that are blue-tapped for repair are also not addressed before closing.

Overall quality is OK, but we had some bad experience with HVAC Furnace keep on troubling after closing and delivered bad quality of Landscaping while closing the home, no proper caring of the Landscaping by Lennar homes, and also observed some electrical ceiling lights design issues, even not addressed by Lennar, Lennar team is responding well before closing, once closed your home, construction team is not that much of responsiveness with home buyer. so i had mixed feeling of home buying experience with Lennar. Thanks!
