Lennar Reviews

We brought to Vincent & Joey's attention in December that the soffitt beam on the back porch is unlevel and has gaps at the column. We've submitted this issue several times along with a crack in the mortar at our dining room window. Still not happy with a driveway issue that has been addressed but not sure what else can be done. Also have submitted a new issue weeks ago pertaining to the bathroom door going into the toilet that was put on swinging in instead of out. This should have been caught early on. When leaving the toilet room you literally back your butt into the toilet paper to get the door open to get out. First thought this was a major design flaw until I went into a couple of new Chorals on our street and saw the error. Touching up paint has not been completed. We understand the coved virus has caused delays however we've completed these requests afain recently with no response...only radio silence. We have a couple of new issues, i.e front door sticking and deadbolt on backdoor is catching that we'll submit and see if any follow up occurs. ... More

I understand the time crunch of getting a home done. Just seemed rushed. Paint in bathrooms are very thin. Most likely spray instead of rolled out. Other little things were noticed too but just an average job.

I'll provide the negatives. If it's not in the negative, then it's positive 1. Lennar person handling my mortgage was the biggest dissapointment. Not very knowledgeable. Put the wrong insurance company in the closing. Apologized at closing but couldn't do anything about on the day of closing. Promised to help with paperwork to make the change to insurance company that I picked, which happened to be Lennar home insurance. She added reminder to her calendar to reach out to me. Never heard from her. Not too bright of an individual. She provided numbers to me for closing that didn't match the actual numbers. Mortgage rate that she quoted prior to actually filling out application was inline with other mortgage rates. When time came to fill out application and lock the rate 30 days prior to closing, somehow lennar mortgage rates were higher than most banks. At that point you're stuck with Lennar. I paid for points to lower the rate. Now construction. The usual builder special. Some important items are overlooked. Air-conditioning unit is right next to master bedroom window. And it's not as quiet as you're told. You hear it and it will wake you up at night. Appliances are cheap. Bottom of the pick. Dishwasher doesn't dry dishes. Inside walls are even wet after a normal cycle. Lennar is aware, because people complained. But they haven't done anything about it. Good luck cleaning oven. There's no vent to outside. So when you turn on auto clean cycle on the oven, your fire alarms will go off. Microwave vent does nothing except blow the smoke into the main room. The returns and air vents are next to each other in the ceiling. Gets chilly inside the house closer to the floor. Warm air doesn't reach there. Insulation is minimal. Closing went smooth and fast. Lots of paperwork. You're asked to provide support documentation at the beginning, when you apply for mortgage. Then 4-5 months later, when your house is ready and you want to lock the rate, you have to provide same documentation again. The good part, all can be done online. ... 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.

The house is full of flaws and uneven or misaligned floors and walls. HVAC unit makes too much noise. Materials used are of low quality and durability. Overall, very poor workmanship.

Being as though we’re a small family of 4, in our early/mid twenties, we were very excited to buy our first home! We’re on the bottom of the condos and it’s the worst! We can hear EVERY footstep from the top condo. We had to get a new garbage disposal installed two days ago (we just moved in Dec 30, 2020). We’ve noticed paint chipping on multiple walls and somewhat of a messy caulk work done in the shower. The garages are extremely small and tight. I don’t appreciate the fact that we’re not “allowed” to place the garbage and recycling bins outside. I hate the fact that neighbors complain about parking in the back, when in fact, a lot of us around here have 2 cars and should be able to park anywhere without complaints. Other than that, this home and community is great for first time home buyers (like us). ... More

Finishing work is dissapointing, there is paint on the floors, scratches on doors and cabinets, a hole on the wood floor, nails sticking out of some doors, walls and carpets. Kitchen counters polish are rough.

Responsiveness: Not Lennar's fault but we have items outstanding for repair and due to the Covid-19 crisis Lennar is not doing any in-home repairs. Hopefully when this virus thing blows over the repairs needed will be completed. Lennar continues to build and sell houses so the number of repairs people will need continues to grow. Materials seem to be a good value relative to the price paid but workmanship could have been better. To Lennar's credit they repaired or committed to repair the things we could see.

No medicine cabinets in each bathroom is very inconvenient and will just need to be added, not good. Interior paint appears watered down or just very cheap. So thin any touch leaves a mark

With as many push backs to the move in date that we had we expected better quality. Our cement in the back and front porch are stained with paint, the paint in itself was not done well either. There are dark paint splotches from the trim all over the lighter paint on the exterior. Once moved in the interior was not very clean either. We were told we could just purchase cleaners to get stains out, if we wanted them out.

To many things built wrong , unfinish paint,light fixture failing out of ceiling, windows installed not straight, bad grass planted, cracks in walls, not enough dirt in yard a round foundation, fence posts. Loose, cheap paint can't ripe spot off without paint coming off, edges around the roof. looks unfinish etc. dips in back yard cant walk without stumbling, please. respond

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 ..

Poor drywall finishing, stained carpets, unfinished and missing caulk, appliance cosmetic damage, window openings not even close to being square making blind install difficult, basement finished building columns twisted and not squared, stained interior window, ceiling electrical light fixture loose,

Mediocre at best.

Seems the subs are very questionable. I have seen 4 homes in addition to mine that had major plumbing problems, including flooding and having to replace flooring. The plumbing contractor must be a very cheap company because the quality is not there. I worry what will happen in 1-5 years based on the issues I have seen so far. Also, landscape work has been awful and they put down dead grass and don't bother to replace it. All they care about is covering the ground. Not how it looks or fills in.

My review is still incomplete at this time. The quality of the driveway is completely unacceptable and is the reason for my low rating on quality of workmanship. The driveway was poured at 26 degrees on November 13th and I believe that it froze before concrete had cured to achieve a necessary strength. Overall we had a mild fall and there numerous days the concrete could have been poured at a much warmer temperature. It has numerous cracks, chips, pock marks, smears and is very off colored. No other driveway in the neighborhood has an appearance that is even close to my driveway. I currently have a work order submitted for the driveway and am waiting to hear what the next steps are. If the driveway is replaced I would definitely change my rating as the quality for the rest of the house appears to be generally quite good. ... More

While we are happy with the house and community, the promises made were not kept. We were told that things that are standard (Everything Included) were actually things that we would have to pay.

The quality of the workmanship was subpar. Some issues are too large to be resolved, like drywall texture on most walls of the house. Overall lower quality product.

Average Quality of workmanship & materials. Average responsiveness to issues. Construction quality not up to the mark.

Some departments are faster to act and reply than others. We had a very large issue with fibre cable connection below ground that took over a month to resolve resulting in losing several bookings.

I should've spent more time looking at details, like door bell, roof gutters, and garage outside lights. Little things that make a home more beautiful. Staff was great though.

My wife and I were looking for a quick move in the North East area and found an inventory home that met mostly all of our needs. In general, we are pleased with the home - there are a few areas of the home that look like they were an after thought in terms of quality of workmanship. The previous home we owned was a Ryland, and we never had issues with workmanship/cosmetic fixes. We've only been in our new home a few months and they are plenty workmanship issues that we are not happy with. For the price we paid, there shouldn't be as many small issues as we have been finding (sloppy Job with trimming, paint, calking, etc). We did however have a great experience with the Lennar sales team walking us through that process. As for the final walk through and first 30 day time period, there were some hiccups but there was always an effort made to correct or make up for those hiccups. ... More

We love our home but the painting, caulking, grouting and finishing is done very poorly. You would expect more skilled workers to be part of a home that’s valued at over a half million dollars. We’ve been trying to get attention for it for a few months. Will hope for resolution once the COVID mania is over. The quality of fixtures (shower heads, lighting, fans) are more reflective of homes in the $400k range so Lennar has surely skimped on these things. That will be an additional project we’ll need to take on ourselves. The warranty team is great though; it’s just unfortunate how many things we’ve had to request corrections on in a short span of time. Happy to update my review once Lennar gets our concerns addressed. ... More

The sales representative has been great, responsive and helpful. The contractor materials were good but his QA/QC was poor. Too many punch list items and issues that are still not resolved. He continues to construct new houses and puts off punch list work 4 months after closing. I did not want to close with some of these issues outstanding but "the builder" insisted and had the upper hand based on the contract. The rating is lowered due to contractor QA/QC and responsiveness.

I should get reimbursed the $125 that I paid to get doors shaved off from the bottom. I was told that they will not do it. Then was told that they would after I paid for it.
