Lennar Reviews

Overall, not a pleasant experience once deposit was made. Workmanship is below average; response time is not good and will not use Lennar on any future builds

What's the sense of doing a walk through if the issues weren't addressed? I should have not believe the builder that they would be addressed after closing. It was also disappointing that Lennar did not provide a welcome or after closing packet with instructions. I will never buy another Lennar home.

Part of our floor was damaged and needs taken care of.Paint on doors and door frames wrong color-not fixed yet.Some drywall work needs to be done. touch up.Sliding doors need to be replaced.stove needs to be leveled.windows and screens need to be cleaned.Irrigation hasn’t been on in awhile.Might be more so I’ll have to look.Thank you.

Lennar was very pushy to use their mortgage company from the start, making the process super difficult when we decided to use our outside lender. We moved in in early August and different color cabinets were installed in the kitchen, still hasn’t been replaced. There’s rebar sticking straight out of the foundation above the grass. The sod next to our AC unit that we were told was going to be put in was never done. The AC didn’t work correctly for the first two weeks. I had to pay 500 dollars out of pocket to have an electrician come tell me the ground and neutral in my dryer power outlet we’re shorting together because the neutral insulation was sliced. There are holes popping up in our ceiling now throughout the house and inside the holes are rusty nails. Seems like there’s moisture getting onto the nails and it’s making holes in the ceiling. Seems like the cheapest materials were used in the house. The back of the island in the middle of the kitchen isn’t made out of wood, it’s a cheap flimsy almost cardboard material. I leaned against it one day and almost fell through it. Overall not a good experience. ... More

Horrible experience. If it wasn't for the good Floorplan we would have walked away! Very very poor workmanship. There isn't a wall straight in the house. No craftsmanship. Don't buy Lennar!

We moved hoping to have a peaceful retirement home. While our Salesperson was very knowledgeable and did her best with purchasing, Construction was terrible. Our cabinets were installed crooked, cracked, broken due to lack of skill which caused our Stone to be unlevel. Our hood vent never showed up so they borrowed one from a different model that didn't fit. Our light fixtures were cracked and broken along with our bathroom mirror and we had a broken window for 4 months. Our Ring Doorbell was installed broken, our Pentair Motherboard for our pool was installed broken, our AC condensor fan was installed broken, our garage doors were crooked and wouldn't close or lock, our tree in front yard was planted with broken support and leaning, we had a hole in our lanai. Our construction mgr Tim was suppose to handle alot of these items but he lied, didn't return phone calls, and avoided us. We've been in our house 2 months and still have unresolved issues. I will say Warranty is the only thing that's keeping us SANE ! ... More

AC was replaced first week. Interior doors wrong size, warped and/or installed wrong. "LVP" that came with the home is NOT LVP...it's simply linoleum cut into strips...3mm thickness, and peeling up in areas. Corner of gutters leak. Landscaping never finished...sprinklers are laying on top of the grass shooting into the street or trees....weve been in the house 2 months. Garage door keeps popping when it opens, because it likely was installed wrong... wire reel assembling came unhooked so it would not close. Large patches in the walls where looks like the electrician or plumber had to go in to make repairs after walls were up...then they used the cheap cannister texture to cover it up so you can see every patch. Granite countertops are badly pitted due to cheap cutting/polishing method. Many more issues i could list and everyone on our street has the same complaints/issues, so this is the norm for Lennar. This is what you get for $354k when you buy a home from Lennar....a house that feels like a renovated rental property...and good luck getting anyone to respond to problems. We'll be battling with then for the next year to get all this fixed, and likely will end up doing it ourselves just to make sure it's done right. ... More

Slow to no follow up to correct or repair issues Very poor instruction on appliances,thermostat,irrigation system,ring alarm system Most items are not high end and workmanship is below par

Aaron was phenomenal and has done all that he can to try and make the best of an unpleasant experience; he has truly been the only Lennar representative who values customer service and should be moved into a position of higher responsibility. The remainder of our experience has been wrought with nothing but frustration with Lennar blaming trade partners, the market, etc. I would never recommend a Lennar home and we have purchased two in here last year with a similar experience.

The people we worked with have been great, the process of getting into the house was smooth. Then we moved in and discovered very poor workmanship throughout myriad details in the house, details that will ultimately cost us a lot of money and time to fix and/ or affect our resale value down the line. We had a few things addressed in the beginning and then have been ignored. Our neighbors have communicated similar issues. You cannot spend what we did and then be given a house like this with poor customer service. This is not tolerable. Lennar, either do it right the first time, or do it again until it's done right. ... More

I’m very disappointed in the way they handle homebuyers .

The quality of materials and workmanship is not that good. The construction was mostly rushed to finish up in the last 2 weeks with lot of open issues. 2 months after closing, we are still chasing the warranty team to help fix items that were open during closing. Compared with other builders (like Richmond or Toll Brothers), quality of home and service is inferior.

The only good experience from working with Lennar was our salesman Jarrett. Any time we had a question he would respond immediately respond. Our build was delayed by 5 months which I do not blame Lennar…that was Covid. A week before we moved in we had so many issues and were told by Eddie and the contractor Ming would be fixed before we moved in….a month in new house and nothing was done..had to do warranty claims. Cheap appliances, poor customer service.

In the beginning Lennar was very helpful obviously trying to earn our business and sell us a house however after moving in all the trouble started. Poor workmanship in the house, getting issues resolved took weeks, it is sometimes impossible to get someone to help you schedule repairs. Community is poorly managed, Lennar literally sells to anyone community is heavy investor properties which has led to many issues with compliance. It was clear to us that Lennar only cares about making money. The support we received has been terrible since we moved in. The house has many problems clearly from the poor work and cheap materials used. Unfortunately I am not happy with my purchase with Lennar and would not recommend to family or friends. ... More

The paint job that was done in the kitchen and restrooms were of poor quality. Paint was splattered all over the floor and globs of paint were dropping on the wall. The construction didn't seal holes from the deck causing a lot of bugs to come inside the house, especially a huge trail of ants the first 2 weeks we moved in. When we did the inspection of the home prior to moving in to fix any mistakes, they missed it of what we marked off. They were supposed to fix all the mistakes but only did about 70% of them. The information we received from our agent was inaccurate as well. Overall, for the new construction, and price being paid, we still had to spend 3 days painting the entire house because it came with flat paint which no one wants to live in a house with flat paint due to stain and scuff marks, and the quality of mistakes made, it was a really disappointing experience and purchase. ...

Over 100 items that need repairs on a brand new home, painting, replacement windows, holes in bathtub, etc. I've been in the new house for months and can't get any traction on getting repairs done. I will never work with Lennar again and will never recommend Lennar to anyone. Very poor workmanship. Quality of work is a zero out of ten.

This is our second Lennar home and all I can say is I will never do this again. Home buyers - If you can, please look for other trustworthy builder.

Needs to do better

In the seven weeks since closing, have had an electrician in the home three times fixing an obvious mis-wiring issue (no lights can come on in one room unless lights on in another room) and two electrical boxes that were backyard-rigged with no to code. Have also had support out to fix the water heater, fix property drainage issues, for windows that needed fixing, and still waiting on doors to be fixed (on a month long waiting list). Additionally, one section of the irrigation system was installed without sprinkler heads, and that issue I've been promised would be fixed three times, but... Other issues I've found that I've not yet submitted for warranty repair: Front door doesn't seal (can see daylight through >1/4" gaps), more than thirty nail pops (so far), and one full wall that has significant waves in it plus an obvious sloppy repair on the bottom of it that looks like something heavy hit and broke through the wall and was hastily repaired. Not my first new build. I expect some issues with a new build, but...the quality Lennar put forward here is terrible. On the bright side, Lennar support and our project manager are incredibly nice people. ... More

Be prepared to move into a house that has not been cleaned and is missing things like window screens, screen doors, garage doors, garage door openers, alarm system, smart home system, etc. Workmanship is very poor and most everyone has paint over-sprays everywhere with many things that need to be fixed. Warranty repairs are extremely slow, communication poor and repairs very sloppy - the company discounts any concerns and typically respond with reasons the home owner doesn't really have a problem

Where do I start... We purchased a new home by Lennar while it was still under construction and there's been countless issues. They are non-negotiable on closing dates. We were out of the country on their proposed closing date and they did not care and did nothing to help us out to get the closing date moved by a few days. We have only been in our house for a month and a half and have had to put in multiple work orders for loose floor tiles, a tub being clogged from construction materials, our closet shelving literally falling off of the wall, etc. They work with companies that don't show up on their scheduled days and that will not work around the homeowners schedule AT ALL for warranty repairs, causing us to have to take time off of work as if it is our fault that our brand new house is falling apart. Time will tell how the house ultimately ages, but this many problems so soon tells me we are in for an expensive future. I will definitely not ever even consider another Lennar home in the future. ... More

Where do I start. I bought my house in January got the keys in July. 1 week before closing Lennar decided that they were going to send off my loan to another loan company without even calling me first to notify me that I didn’t qualify. I was never even told that I wasn’t qualifying for my house loan so I was blind sided when I got a call from another lender. We did a walk through of the house to mark things that needed to be fixed. Couple weeks later We did the final walk through and nothing repaired. The contractor told me with an attitude that we weren’t there to find new flaws. Cracked paint in the closets, missing paint. Windows missing caulking and paint, carpet cut to short from the wall, vynol cut too short at the door and FIXED with caulking instead of being reinstalled correctly. Door trim with a huge gap from the door. Hole in the baseboard fixed with grout instead of being replaced. Fixtures installed on the wall with stuff stuck behind them so they are not flat on the wall. Hole in the cement floor in the garage. Bath tubs with stains and cracks. When I set up appointments for repairs they repair everything with caulking. No replacing and fixing everything correctly they just patch it all up. Crazy how you buy a brand new house and when you call to complaint about ants being all over the house they state they can’t do anything about it. You would think that the house would be sprayed for insects before keys are given to you. Ants are under the carpet as if coming from the foundation. We have had so many issues with this house that idk if the house is worth what we paid. The contractor didn’t care about fixing anything before handing over the keys, I don’t get how he’s not embarrassed of the workmanship provided by the people they contract. The only person that helped us was our sales rep that went to bat for us when the loan officer couldn’t do her job. He helped us from day 1 when we picked the lot and helped us until the very end and gave us our keys. Honestly I don’t know if I would ever purchase a Lennar home ever again. Buying a new home should be a stress free and repair free experience since we didn’t purchase a fixer upper but at the end it feels like we did which is pretty sad. ... More

The financing expirence was horrible, the walk through is a joke get the builder to fix issues is like pulling teeth and once you move-in good luck getting them to finish what they promised is a nightmare. They ensure quality and explain that is what you are paying for and it has all been a complete mess

I’ve contacted the builders multiple times about a hanging vent and also putting a front door prep hole and nothing just the run around about I’ll get to it and nothing I regret purchasing from y’all everything is cheaply made and designed

Promises were made....but not carried out. Fit&finish very poor. Did anyone care? Pretty much no. I would not accept any service people to come in and finish what was promised as I don't feel anything would be any better than now. No faith in your labor.
