Lennar Reviews

Definitely lots of issues closing, things to correct and fix after the purchase, some things what were done via a shortcut and we still haven’t gotten our touch up paint kit. The style and layout of the house is great and the color scheme is what we wanted. The size of the lot and location is why we went with Lennar.

We had multiple issues with cracks in the wall as well as the counter tops cracking. The floor not sealing right, the nail gun staples for the carpet poking through the floor. During the new home orientation I felt very rushed when there was multiple issues that needed to be corrected.

I would recommend having a home inspector inspect the home prior to closing

Purchased home after a huge fiasco regarding pricing. Felt like I was dealing with a fly by night home consultant. Had to make a deal with the finance department after the quoted price jumped $40K in two days. Bumps along the building process, mistakes fixed. The kitchen island support and other walls are so crooked, hanging pictures is challenging. We finally have a home warranty rep who appears to be getting the ball moving on several repairs. If the house did not have a spectacular view, we would have bought elsewhere. A production home is a production home.

Building quality is not the best.

Purchasing a home for $660k I would expect the home to at least be ready and for the workmanship to be perfect. There was a lot of things that were done incorrectly and I had to get corrected after closing as well as things that look half finished with little effort done to it. Again not what I expected after spending so much money on a home and with the caliber name of Lennar.

Buying process was not transparent

For the price, you’d be better off buying an old house and renovating it to your personal standards.

Nice brand new home but you'll notice quickly that the materials used are not high quality!

We feel that Lennar homes are built quickly but often times speed gives up good quality.

The employees are very helpful and the customer service is great. The actual materials used to build the home are not the best...Cabinetry is very flimsy, lighting is minimal and poorly laid out as well as the wall switches.

If they would just do what they eventually do, in a more timely manner, they would be a much better company. You must keep pushing them to get them to do the things they should do without repeatedly asking them.

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

The finish work is not that great and when you in your work order and they come out to fix their mistakes they make it worse and so you just end up giving up. Most of them do not speak English so you can't communicate with them.

Lennar was fairly decent to purchase a home with.

Overall I am pleased with my new home. We have had some issues that have been addressed extremely fast so no complaints there. My one issue I do have is the quality of the products used. For example; the paint, appliances, sink fixtures, construction materials in general are “cheaper than I expected. A lot of the “quality” was exposed after closing unfortunately.

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.

Decent construction overall for the price. Instead of spending money on "smart home" items use dollars for better materials,better trim workers, 16" centers on studs instead of 24". Use a better company than Interior Logic for important work. I was shown a model home that mine was supposed to look like with separate master vanities,separate closets, but then when I moved in I had none of those. Worst trim carpenter work I have ever seen. Dirt and sand painted right over on base trim.

Lennar is always quick to respond to an issue, how ever I have had to contact you for the some of the same issues ore than once because it isn't getting done properly the first time. I expected top notch done right the first time kind of work from Lennar.

The house is nice but trying to get any issues corrected is nearly impossible. Not sure I’d go with Lennar again.

We have known issues from the final walk through that have yet to be addressed. Reported issues after the sale are still sitting in a pending status 3 months later

Overall satisfaction of the home is good the overall satisfaction of the construction going in around the home is terrible. I understand the consequences of living in an area with construction but didn’t realize it would be like living in a war zone. They take little to no pride in keeping the work areas and surrounding lots clean.

Buyer beware that the repair process after you own is not very good. Simple items take a while to correct. Often the customer care team communicates a repair date as a completed work, when actually nothing has been done and it may take several more weeks to resolve. My advice is get it all 100% prior to close and do a complete and through inspection to minimize issues. Don’t accept the sales line that it will all be completed, that will just lead to frustration on your part.

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.
