Lennar Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

Great

Tony our contractor was THE BEST!!! He responded quickly to questions and concerns. He was friendly, professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with! Have not had any issues since the purchase about 6 months ago...knock on wood... Very happy so far!

Overall experience has been below average.

I went with Lennar thought I had few other options, based on my first home experience which was positive. This time the house got into series of repairs in first month. Now, I’m following up for reimbursement but the response is very slow

To begin with, we picked the house and lot so not a spec home. We were told we had time to add options so the day after signing we asked to add a laundry sink but was told we were too late for this request. Same thing for laundry cabinets! I blame this on the on-site agent giving wrong info. Apparently once you sign, you can’t make any changes so know what you want beforehand. Our house had a roof and almost to drywall before we had a single meeting with construction manager. I made them pause until we had a predrywall inspection done. It was given to the construction manager right afterwards and we asked to confirm receipt. A week later we have drywall now. So after MANY calls, emails, texts, he finally said he “completed” all the items on the report. Come to find out 2 months later, he admitted he never did anything with the report. Lennar’s way of fixing this situation was to give us our money back for the inspection. This did not make the displaced trusses or framing issues right!! After the final inspection, he said he would take care of everything on that report. We get to a week before closing and none of it was done so he had to delay our celebration meeting to 3 days before closing, which still a ton of items to be fixed. He asked if we were going to do a final walk which originally we did not have time for before closing but glad we made time because he did nothing on the list at that point. They scrambled to get them done before we recorded but did not. In hindsight we should have delayed closing!! He was the worst project manager and took zero ownership for his mistakes. Not sure how he still has a job!! Once we finally moved in, we found out our microwave did not work. Lights came on and seemed like it worked until you tried to heat something up. They made us go through appliance company to get fixed instead of taking care of it themselves. So for 2 months we did not have a working microwave. In short, I think a different construction manager would have made this experience better but Lennar should have taken some responsibility for his mistakes as he is an employee and representative of Lennar. ...

Really good . So far everything seems to be good so far

I think I will come direct to the issue. Tony, who was previous construction mgr, was understanding and able to make myself and wife comfortable with the home given its newly constructed and with followup issues which are understandable. However, Tom who took over wasn't customer focused or neither informative. I need to call him almost 10 times to have the same issue addressed, as each time they would fix it temporarily. And now I am still having issues with my doors and he seems to have his own explanation on how those specific doors should work vs rest of the doors.

We moved in to the house 3 months back and the drive way concrete had multiple wide cracks, when approached with the problem, the builder is not ready to fix because the external concrete is not covered in the warranty items. So we are not happy with the response.

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

The townhouses seem to be good quality, new technologies, and at a fair price.

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.

I loved my whole experience!!

Difficult to contact to resolve issues. Poor landscaping prior to moving in, was told it would get fixed however, I have been waiting 3-4 months for new sod I was promised.

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.

I was made to feel that I shouldn’t call with any complaints about interior and exterior construction.

I put a Warranty request 2 weeks ago NO response!

When we purchased in October of 2018 we were told community amenity would be completed by November 2019. Now we are told that Lennar is negotiating to re-purchase the development company which they sold last October because new developer now says they will not complete community. Stalemate has been going on for at least three months. No date provided for amenity completion or even a commitment to build at this point. Unacceptable performance by Lennar.

Nice home; alot of repairs needed to be done; Lennar was responsive; they always tried the cheap way first but when that didn't work they always fixed it correctly.

They won't listen. They don't have any respect for customer.

Onsite Builder - Superb Customer Care!

Great work.

Great quality, great company, would recommend to anyone!

I purchased the model home, it was in a good shape but I don’t like the fact that there no warranty on the house.

I was very hesitant to buy a new home in a planned community but I’m very happy with my decision we chose the value of the Lennar home over a smaller home with more attention to detail however for the most part we have not been disappointed. There have been a few issues with workmanship however Lennar is insanely fast to communicate and fix any issues that have taken place which is about as good as you can get on non-custom built homes.
