Lennar Reviews

Only good experience with Lennar was our salesman. Quality and responsive to issues is a nightmare!

The choice of material and poor craftsmanship for the amount of money paid is poor. Everyday we find more and more issues with our home. It takes very long to get responses.

Poor workmanship, poor quality, do not trust to be fixed

The workmanship in our home is that of random people doing random tasks they are not competent in. So many little things all over the home. The floors have gaps in some slats and non in the other. The trim work could have been done better by my 8 year old son and he has absolutely no carpentry skills. The answer to every and all mistakes was smearing caulking all over the home. Our back yard constantly floods and holds water from the rain and or neighbors sprinklers. The lack of proper runoff and drainage is ridiculous. If I could rate zero stars I would especially on workmanship and quality.

The worst materials used, drywall and flooring…clearly emphasized on plug n play model for profit. Flooring has no proper insulation…4 months in and still waiting for repair to damages. LENNAR is terrible. I am looking forward to selling as home appreciate. I will never ever go with Lennar again. Took 3 months to finally get garbage receptacles, however it’s been 5 weeks since trash pickup, I still haven’t gotten my trash picked up and have escalated. HOA should be covering this and I sure am paying 2 HOA’s..at a loss right now and super frustrated. I also almost forgot about the misinformation initially with regards to internet and that whole ordeal….the list goes on and on and on…. ... More

For $400,000 you expect a certain quality in a home. This does not live up to the expectations. Very poor quality paint, sheet rock, tile work, workmanship and appliances. When we moved in the oven didn’t work, the dryer outlet didn’t work, the dishwasher leaves the dishes unclean and wet, paint feels like sandpaper, paint peels off the doors if you try to clean the glass or they get wet, crack in ceiling about 6 feet long in the kitchen. The Sheetrock is a very cheap quality and very thin. You have to be very careful when you try to mount towel bars or toilet paper holders. The grout is crumbling on the backsplash in the kitchen. The tile in the master shower is unlevel and water puddles in the floor about a quarter inch in spots. When asked to repair the crack we were told that it is a common problem in this floor plan and we should wait until the year end inspection because they will only fix it once and if we do it now the house will continue to settle and it will crack again. The same was said for the nail and screw heads that are popping through the paint already. They wish they could do it more than once but if they do it for us they have to do it for everyone. Top row of rock on the front of the house was installed wrong and they were told when it was first done but they said we would have to wait until the final walkthrough to address it and other issues. Then they said the contractor told them that it was the correct way to be installed and they wouldn’t change it. Therefore the grout on the top row of rock wouldn’t seal to the siding because they tried to use a clear silicon and it wouldn’t fill the gaps. They then tried to fill the gaps with mortar and it looks awful. Paint on the outside of the house is of a poor quality and so thin you can see the strips where the paint was applied. Interior walls feel like sand paper because the primer was sprayed on before the walls were cleaned and the paint adheres to the dust making it rough. The paint quality feels like rough chalk. Molding all through the house feels like it has sand on it and has never been sanded. The yards were sodded with dead grass and we were told it would grow back, it hasn’t. The sod was not rolled properly so the yard is rough and the grass didn’t root the way it should. There are bald spots all over. The side yards were not graded properly so they don’t drain the way they should leaving wet, boggy, muddy areas which are conducive to mosquitos. We love the area and the people that live here. At first glance the homes are pretty but when you move in you find the materials and workmanship to be lacking. ... More

Lennar rushed to close us despite not everything being finished. Last minute work was done and rushed to meet the Lennar business quarter close.

I will never recommend Lennar to anyone until my issues are resolved. I was rushed to closing with many things to still be resolved and many more that I have found afterwards. No response or fixing on most work orders. I’ve decided to now take legal action.

The concept is good but the poor quality and poor responsiveness of the construction crew is frustrating. I have I have been in the house for approximately 4 months and still need work done.

There are still issues with the home that there have not been fixed, that were there once I closed and moved in. Poor workmanship, cutting corners in finishing.

Builder was okay to work with. Lack of organization when it came to my closing date due to not having my CO which caused closing to be moved several times. Because I signed a materials shortage addendum some of the materials did not seem to be of equal value as to what was in the model. Mostly pertaining to the showers in the home. Also did not like my new home orientation advisor who was at my walk throughs. He was rude and argumentative throughout the whole process. He would argue about things such as how my elevation should look, which the builder did fix . Then in order to get me to sign off on repairs he sent pictures to me but did not include full pictures disclosing the items were fixed. I refused to sign and he proceeded to tell me to “take it or leave it”. If that wasn’t enough the new home orientation advisor proceeded to tell other homeowners at their orientations about me and our disagreements. The sales associates and builder were nice to work with. But the new home advisor makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it. Really did make me reconsider moving in to a different property. ... More

Cheap material for the price paid. My stairs has crack from the neighbors garage, another wall has a crack from the other neighbors garage.

If this is your first NEW home don't expect a WOW after settlement, The appliance upgrade is not worth the $$, secure a credit and buy your own. Customer care on a local level is great but they are over whelmed due to lack of supervision on the construction end. Job sites are hazardous and an eyesore.

After this experience with Lennar I would not choose this builder again nor recommend it to another person. I love the neighborhood and the area, but the overall quality of my home and the overall experience has been terrible. It all started with the sales person and then to construction. The only easy part was with finance. I have been here since August 2021 and I am still dealing with work tickets on incomplete or damage items within the home. If more time was spent on workmanship of the home then I would definitely not feel this way. The two CCR people have been nice and friendly, but they are to overwhelmed with their caseload therefore that has also prolonged this whole experience. ... More

House material are cheap. And there’s no good customer service.

Lennar builds a poor quality home.

It’s unfortunate I sold my home prior to closing with Lennar - otherwise I would have never bought and built with Lennar. If you’re interested in spending your money that follows absolutely none of their core values - be my guest. If your are interested in sub-par quality and a horrible customer service this is the builder for you.

Confusion about close dates resulted in lost $$, lost items, lost sanity and lost time. Would not recommend to people we like.

I wish I have better review

I closed escrow in July 2021. I expected quality for the price of the house and for having Lennar as the builder. But staying in the house for few months now brought me a lot of disappointments. The granite in our kitchen countertop absorbs water and now stained with oil after it was claimed to be sealed by Brandon from quality control dept., and even after I sealed it before use. I spoke to Brandon about the issue, and I was told that it will be adressed, but I have not heard anything yet until now. Brandon said that maybe because the granite has been stored for a long period of time before it was used is the reason why it absorbs water easily and is already stained. But I don’t think that there is any excuse for not assuring the quality of anything before putting everything together in this house. The shelves and brackets in master’s closet also fell apart after we hanged clothes. As per Brandon, there should only be maximum weight to be placed, which was never mentioned ever. And I don’t think that good quality will break easily. I wish IBrandon said that it is how they make standard closet and I can always upgrade using another company if I want a better quality. Too bad, I thought Lennar has the quality I was looking for. For the repaint and drywall touch ups, I was scheduled for a certain day and when I was making sure to get it done by the scheduled date, Adrianne from builder’s choice snapped at me and told me that I am not the only client. Then the appointment should be more than a day and was managed prior, for me to plan my days as well. Now, for the repaint of my front door and doorstep, the door should have been painted entirely, but it appears that there is no touch up in the bottom area. which is very obvious and frustrating to look at. and for the doorstep, the paint dripped underneath, and now stained the stucko. Which i need to call quality again for. In my backyard, the planter looks weird. It wasn’t straight all the way and the sprinkler switch is the in the middle of nowhere. Brandon said that it was how it was disigned and approved by the builder. Which is confusing because both of my neighbors doesn’t have a planter. Anyway, I got the planter corrected on my own since quality dept will not do it for me in order to show quality. ... More

I was originally told my closing would be June 8th when I put a contract on the house. Almost every other week my closing kept being put out. There would actually be weeks gone buy that no construction work was done on my house. I finally closed on July 23rd. This was an extreme inconvenience because I had sold my house and had to stay in a motel. I have numerous text messages in my phone to verify the above information. Also the landscaping is terrible. I pointed it out to the Lennar agent and at walk through. I did a work order on it and was told that landscaping is no covered. You can barely walk on my sod and it has sunken drastically since I have taken possession of my home. ... More

Loan processor asked for the same docs over and over again. The worst materials used. I’m still having issues and currently I’m without heating and AC.

I had a great experience with our Lennar realtor but unfortunately did not have a good experience with the loan officer we used by Lennar. We do love our house and understand things happen while building BUT Lennar should do a better job with communicating. We have been contacting them for months to have our block wall fixed (which is detached from the wall and is becoming a hazard) and we’re promised the company would call…months later nothing still. We have had to put in two orders to get it fixed and text the manager in charge and have not received a response. The lack of communication with this company is pretty disappointing. ... More

Lennar doesn't seem to care after the purchase.

Since moving into my second Lennar home, I have lost all confidence in your workmanship and follow-up to building deficiencies. It took about six weeks to finally get a dishwasher that worked after being given a model that was no longer even sold by GE and they couldn’t find a replacement part; I’ve had multiple doors actually falling off because the screws used are too small (I’m afraid to let my 8 year old near them in fear of them falling on her head!) and these are still unrepaired (4 months and still waiting). The one bright light has been your head maintenance person, who has gone well beyond her responsibilities to correct the many defects. There are many more things I could report, but I have lost faith in your ability to follow-up on things. ... More
