Lennar Reviews

Craftsmanship and finishing is poor.

Where to begin? When we started the process everything was on point and the communication with the seller was awesome. After we signed the contract in February they promised us the completion date was going to be between July and August. It wasn't until November that we finally got our home. The seller didn't even answer on time; sometimes I was ignored for days. Not even Lennar customer service was able to help me get the answers I wanted. No answer for the solar, the process, the delays... nothing. On top of that Lennar Mortgage was even worse; no communication at all!!! It was a painful experience from start to finish. Even at closing, my house didn't have all the doors in place. Caulkin, plumbing, painting, and flooring issues from day one. They even planted a dead tree in front of my house and it's still there. I have opened around 10 tickets since November and will keep doing it since every day there's a new minor issue with the home. I will never recommend anyone to buy from Lennar!!! ... More

Poor floor quality no happy with first floor material

I recently purchased a brand new everything is included lennar home unfortunately, i as well as many other homeowners in the community have had an avalanche of issues. Faulty/ low quality garage doors, low quality workmanship throughout house. A real disaster

Would not recommend to others

As soon as I moved in, a huge leak occurred in the master bedroom shower that caused a lot of damage and the response from Lennar customer service was horrific! The workmanship is terrible it looks like they just cut as many corners as they could. The paint job is horrible, it looks like they did one coat of paint and didn’t do it well you can see white spots everywhere. All of the toilet paper holders and towel holders are loose it looks like they drilled holes bigger than the anchors and just left it like that! The houses are so tight next to each other you can’t even get in and out of your house without almost hitting your neighbors cars. I am extremely disappointed with this builder! ... More

There are a lot of small problems. When I found the microwave vent was not even connected it made me wonder what other problems are here that I can’t see. There also was a water leak that took 6 weeks to repair even though it was reported immediately. Who ever installed some PVC pipe didn’t glue it correctly. We were told the water on the floor was from a pressure washer. The leak went uncorrected for 6 weeks causing mold under some carpet so it all had to be removed by a restoration company. Other problems with the quality of materials used. Seems like they will fix the issues, but they don’t seem to be in a rush nor do they seem to think the poor construction is abnormal. Disappointed. ... More

What happened to America’s best builder. We own 3 Lennar Homes and in 6 years they have fallen to a terrible level. We will not buy a Lennar hone in the future.

Check every nook and cranny before signing papers.

Do not close on the home until all issues are resolved! Also be aware about the patch jobs they do on driveways as they offer no warranty. We have issues with our driveway that where pointed out prior to closing on both inspections and Lennar now wants to try the same failed patch job again. The builder claims it is up to industry standard, but I have never seen a piece of foam siding imbedded in the concrete be considered industry standard. This is just one of 75 issues identified on the final inspection- the little things they will resolve fast, but the larger issues have large hurdles and even after multiple emails with pictures, we still receive pushback. If my wife wasn’t working from home the majority of issues would never have been resolved and would of forced us to take time of from work to get these issues handled. This experience has been disappointing and frustrating. The finish on the construction is also lacking. For example, in the garage there are gaps in the cinder blocks that are also considered industry standard apparently. All I can be thankful for is that apart from 2 leaky sinks and one wobbly toilet we haven’t had any serious plumbing issues. ... More

Don't buy New Builds from Lennar. The homes are not worth the price because the quality is not there. The materials that are used are low end and cheap especially in the interior of the home. The companies they hire to complete the inside of the homes have no repect for quality of workmanship. My house is terrible and I regret buying it!

Things were rushed and as results details missed. A new home should be almost flawless.

We closed on the house 2 months ago. We couldn't live in the house for most of the first month because AT&T, who is the only supplier of internet and TV for the subdivision, did not have service to our location. The builder should have known that. Also, we still have outstanding items from the pre-closing punch list that are not resolved. The Home Care people contact us every couple of weeks to say that they are having a meeting to make a plan to solve our issues, but we are still waiting for them to fix cabinets and install the correct garage door. Practically every day we identify other short-comings in the build, like there isn't any insulation above the morning room and all of the bathroom tile needs to be cleaned due to dried grout or other material on the surface. The crown molding was butted together, rather than overlapped, so gaps are starting to show between the pieces. We expected a much more positive experience buying a new home in this community but have been disappointed with all of the outstanding issues that we have to manage. ... More

I like the neighborhood, the area, and customer service for Lenar was alright. The quality of the home is below par. There are warped walls, our heater didn't work for the first 2 months, and contractors seemed upset when they had to come fix something.

Yeah…. Big let down. Stove so cheap you can feel heat outside of oven when on. Cheap oven controls. Tankless hot water may save electricity but waste tons of water daily waiting on hot water. Fan in laundry room continues to run 24/7. Even after switch changed out. Parking on both sides of streets makes where only one car can barely go down a street. Neighbor ghetto up by this.

Do not close on a home and believe that they will have things wrapped up when they say they will. Would not recommend.3 months in huge crack in ceiling doors won’t open on back of house. Lennar is production builder and it shows. Get them in and close.

I’m 68 years old they are the worst and cheapest builders of anybody I have ever encountered

When you’re spending this much money on a brand new home, you don’t expect to have to do 2-3 months of repairs right when you move in, but that’s what had happened with us, even though we have been discussing these issues, and bringing up issues as the house was being built. Not only was our home delayed and not done correctly, the craftsmanship was HORRIBLE, and no one showed up to our closing. Lennar did not follow their own schedule that they sent us for closing, did not communicate when they didn’t show up for their own set appointments, warranty never spoke to us, even after rescheduling twice. When we brought up issues after having our lawyer finally complete the move, they pushed us off to warranty, who had been ripping our brand new home apart, trying to fix the garbage work that’s been done through the home. They seem totally overwhelmed with the amount of work that it is taking just to bring the home up to Lennar standards, and don’t have warranty crews that have the know how to fix these issues. Some of the things we have had to fix are cracked tub, massive bubbles in the wall-ceiling joints, 6 screws sticking out of the carpet (that sliced my daughters foot wide open), the carpet has been ripped up and never reattached or replaced, the front door had a huge gap underneath it, they have redone the master toilet room 3 times because the framing was so bad and was also missing a window (!!), the kitchen faucet was not ever attached correctly so it spins around, attic access in the attic never had a cover, bathroom plumbing not to code and leaked, bathroom vanity was completely smashed in the back near the plumbing (they didn’t cut out a hole they just took a hammer and smashed a hole so that the incorrect plumbing could come through), concrete is stained in weird crazy patterns on every piece (porch, sidewalks, driveway, back patio), and believe it or not the list goes on and on with the horrible sheetrock job, all of the ceiling joints ripple throughout the house, the nail pops, the handrails had to be replaced because they were digging into the walls and not flush, every outlet was so loose and crooked that you couldn’t plug things in, doorknobs were loose and several doors wouldn’t even latch because they were hung incorrectly. It has truly been a disaster moving in to a house with such horrible craftsmanship. Our contractor didn’t know what he was doing, when we would try to discuss anything with him he would just say what he thought we wanted to hear, and then do nothing. I feel that warranty has done their best to try to rectify the situation, she has been working hard and really is the ONLY person that I feel has had our backs. Everyone else seems to act like we the homeowners are causing them stress and headache, but it is not us the homeowners that built this mess. And we paid a lot of money for a brand new home, we simply want it up to the Lennar standard. ... More

This is the 2nd home we have built in the past 3 years. The quality of Lennar is subpar. The walls are extremely rough and not square. The cabinets are all scratched up and boards broken along the floor. The banister has multiple spots that weren't stained. Doors off in frames, the wrong color front door and shutters were installed. They still have not been corrected. We will not be using Lennar for our next build.

We were rushed to close on Black Friday, a day that was not good for us, and the house still had a lot of things not completed. Today is January 12th and both of my garage doors are still not operational. The gentlemen that did our walk through was very nice and promised to have everything done within a week and he would help us out with having some pendant lights we bought installed if we gave him a good review, which we did, but after that he ghosted us and never answered the phone or text messages. I have blue tape marking several things in my house that need to be repaired. It’s literally been over six weeks since closing. Just frustrated ... More

Please do a lot of research on the property and the material used to build. I’m having a bug issue and no one wants to be accountable for it.

Cheap materials, rushes craftsmanship, last minute downgraded materials with no money refunded, cracks in multiple seems in corners, squeaky floors prior to move in, cracked windows, sprinkle lines installed on neighbors property, sink hole in back yard due to graders "forgetting" hay bell. List goes on and on ask anyone on the FB group made just for this issues.

built to fast home was not ready to be moved into

We thought highly of Lennar and it was our dream to buy a Lennar Home. The process started with great hopes, agents were really nice. But we face lot of disappointments during construction and post construction. The construction manager is rude, the issues that we reported during construction were denied to be fixed and we got bad treatment from the construction manager. When we moved into our new home, within weeks we started seeing several issues from water softener connection not connected to kitchen, heating connection was not accurately done, our refrigerator loses power every week with out we using any other appliances and many more. The material used in our homes is very poor quality. It's not just our experience, several of my neighbors have same concerns. We are very angry with the construction management and very disappointed in Lennar. Lennar has really degraded its reputation. ... More

The entire build process was a mess because the communication between the sales member and he construction manager was awful. The sales member had no interest in assisting us through out the process once we signed the contract. We are still finding several construction issues and fear there could be some major problems we are unaware of. Do not recommend Lennar to anyone.
