Lennar Reviews

I completed a scathing review of Lennar 5 months ago. I will summarize. I consider Lennar the worst home builder I have ever worked with and I have moved 39 times. Your prime motivator is speed , not quality. Your workers take no pride in their work and do not respect the work of others. I did not rate you in trustworthiness as I have no way to measure this, and of course your survey required an answer to submit.

Alot of dings, scratches, cracks. Wish i was told before hand about my house being so much in an incline my drive way seems like im going up a hill...hopefully my transmission will be ok going from park to reverse, because it sounds like its about to give every time a shift during parked car. If my car breaks i will sue

Very disappointed with workmanship.

Sales person was outstanding. Construction manager was the big down fall. Would not fix what was promised.

I wish I would read the reviews about Lennar before buying my home from this company.

We just recently bought a home in Rosena Ranch from a Lennar community. Since we've moved in, we have had to call service quite a few times for issues that should not be happening in a new home. For example, our handrail on the stairs are already having separation from the wall. It is under warranty and will get fixed, but it is very inconvenient especially because the contractors have to schedule so far out. These things should not be happening in a new home. I don't know if I trust Lennar's workmanship. The backyard was done very cheaply as well and all the neighbors complain about the amount of mulch that was put in. ... More

There were many issues to be resolved, not all of which were completed to our satisfaction. The standard answer to our issues was “It meets code” even though we did not agree and could show it was different to plan. For new home buyers, make sure you watch every stage of the development and take someone who understands home construction with you on your walk through so that you pick up all the issues.

The paint and the painters they use are the cheapest possible, there are spots where there is barely any paint. We have had 2 major leaks. No pad and apartment grade carpet which for a house that is over $500k is very sad. They say they put your front and back yards in, ok yes they do but they are put in by people who know nothing about landscape. No soil under the sod, the wrong plants. They put trees too close to the houses that will grow way to tall, big and fast.

I love the floor plan for my home but the customer service after I moved into my home has been horrendous!! I've not seen nor heard from the person who walked me through my home since he asked for a five star rating while delivering 1 star service. They've not followed up to get all the items from the original list nor address the ones I've added since the move. The quality of the flooring and cabinets is not worth the money charged! Most of the workmanship and material are decent quality but not to the standards expected at this price point. The most offensive actions is the decision to change the size and value of the homes in the community. This decision has a great impact on my investment and the overall look of the community. I would not have purchased my home in this neighborhood had I known that this switch was coming. ... More

Just know that if something is broken or not working properly be prepared to wait a loooong time to have it fixed because of mishandled scheduling issues with subcontractors. Also, the repair work can only be done on week days forcing you to take days off from work only to have the workers not show up which is incredibly frustrating. It's been almost 6 months without a working master bedroom shower

Our advisor was very knowledgeable but unfortunately, he had a family emergency during our home buying process from the very beginning and was told to contact 2 other Lennar reps if we had any questions. They were no help at all. Never let us know what was going on and never returned calls. This was the most crucial time as we were in the actual home buying process. When we moved in, we had quite a few issues with things around the house and to get those things fixed it was just a nightmare. For example, as we did our walk through, we noticed that the paint on the outside of the house did not match the majority of the wall and were told they accidentally painted it the wrong color. It took about a month or so to get anybody out there to fix it and we were told that the painters came out and fixed it, twice! Really? Because it was the exact same as when we did our walkthrough. It was never fixed. I could go on and on about all the issues we had. We were and are still very disappointed at this new home buying experience. This wasn’t our first home we purchased, but it was our first brand new home and we expected much better than what we got. After our experience, we probably won’t buy another Lennar home. Lennar builds in volume, and with that comes really bad quality, unfortunately. ... More

Not very responsive to concerns

Lennar’s house plans are very well done for modern living. Materials are as advertised. Home care warranty is practically worthless. And their people can be spiteful if you get upset with their poor service.

asked to fix the light in june have not.they said that have no time.

The workmanship was poor. Lots of issues to attention to detail. When I complained, the construction managers response was that the brand new home was meant to be lived in. That response floored. I would not buy from Lennar again.

I’m extremely disappointed, with the price I’m paying for a house like this I expect small problems if any. I’ve had major construction done to an upstairs closet, missing paint in parts of my house, spots with no texture, water damage to a door, door hinges ripping from the walls. I’m beyond annoyed with how much time it takes to get these problems resolved. They try to do what they can to make it right but I am tired of construction, I’m tired of constantly having trades at my house fixing things that shouldn’t have been overlooked or assumed I as the homeowner wouldn’t notice. This is a serious problem! I don’t understand why it’s so hard for Lennar and the contractors to just slow down and do it right the first time so you don’t have to have 100 warranty calls on one home. It is not that hard to just slow down make sure you’re doing your best work because it saves a lot of hassle on both sides for the homeowner and for the company Lennar. The work that has been done to my home is less than satisfactory and I’m literally at my wits end of dealing with this company any longer. From buying this one home I WILL NOT EVER recommend Lennar to any of my friends or any people I know asking who they should purchase a home from. Consider me a lost customer that will never come back and buy a house with Lennar. ... More

During the contract phase of the purchase we inquired about the HOA documents. They were sent to us and we signed the contract based on those documents. We went to closing with the understanding that we could build a fence based on the styles offered in the HOA documents and found out that we were given the wrong HOA documents. Lennar offered no recourse to this issue. Had we been given the correct information prior to signing a contract we would have chosen a different community. On the other hand; the development is beautiful and will be an asset to the community. We have been in our home for 4 months now and have enjoyed meeting the new neighbors and have discovered we weren't the only ones to have this experience. All - in - All we feel that Lennar had misled us. In short; know what you’re looking for and ensure it is delivered prior to a contract. ... More

The quality of the home is subpar I have been in my residence for less than 6 months and I have already had to have major repairs to my HVAC unit and I am still looking for compensation from Lennar. The poor craftsmanship is a direct correlation to excessive billing.

I had a 1-2 week repair service in the bathroom. Due to systemic problems with the warranty department it took 4 months to complete. I had to file a BBB to get their attention.

Our yard wasn’t properly graded which caused flooding in our basement multiple times within the first two months. They crashed a bobcat into our house and took a long time and multiple requests to fix the damage. They didn’t put enough dirt down and sodded over straight rock in some areas... the list goes on. Apparently Lennar is too big of a company to take pride in doing the the job right.

I have reported Lennar that my street is missing lighting at night. They have not resolve it since them. It is Lennar responsibility to provide those at Windermere StoreyLake

Very poor quality of work has been done on house

The qualification process was completely redundant and stressful. Every step of my experience lacked communication by Lennar employees. I reached out to a district supervisor who did not even acknowledge my email nor concerns. Workmanship was not the quality I expected. I missed 8 days of work due to appointments with Lennar of which 6 were NO Shows. Video doorbell has been replaced twice.

We purchased a new build Lennar home. We loved the layout of the house and the community is just what we were looking for. So, put up with the months of construction delays (never being informed properly about the progress) which forced us to live in an AirBnB for two months. We moved into a very dirty and unfinished house, It was not cleaned well after construction and all the issues we have raised beforehand were not addressed . So, our first few weeks / months in our brand new home was spent chasing Lennar. Poor job done by the painters, bickers, gardeners and an overall poor supervision by the construction team of Lennar. We been in discussion daily with the customer care rep. She do stay in communication with us and try to have all the issues corrected. I feel she is just as frustrated as we are. Unfortunately. we have had to spend most of our days off at home waiting for repairs to be done. We are still fighting with Lennar. It is just upsetting that we found a house we really liked and we walk into one problem after another. If I could have a do over, I would look for a different builder. But we don't have that option and will have to live with what we got. ... More

We were misled multiple times during the buying process and throughout building process. We didn’t get the product we thought we were getting. We were forced to close with a 2 page list of unfinished issues and now I’m not even getting any responses to my issues that were left unfinished.
