Lennar Reviews

Cheap materials and sloppy work done by all contracted vendors. Lots of rework and projects to be done by Lennar after move in.we had to each take so much time off of work well into two months to accommodate for things that should have been done. Not exactly turn key experience we had hoped for. Might as well have flipped an older home, saved money and had more space between homes. For the money paid, one would expect better quality work.

We bought our home less than 6 months ago and we had several serious issues that could have been prevented with proper supervision and workmanship. Without going into details, we have dealt with issues from flooding garage, improperly built shower (water behind tiles and on sill), to cracks and bumps on the ceiling. We had to place multiple work orders for new and existing issues. We must take time off from work to get these issues resolved and have had contractors not show up at all. When the work is not up to standards contractors point fingers at each other and customer service ends up denying the claim and leaving you stranded to pay for the repair out of packet. We dealt with deceiving contractors that say they fix something when we aren’t home, but the issue remains, and our security system shows them being on site for less than 12 minutes. We have also dealt with contractors that do not speak English and get frustrated if you don’t understand what they are saying. Same contractors that incorrectly make repairs are sent to your home again to fix issues. There are a few contractors we have dealt with that are qualified and get the job done right, but we have unfortunately mostly dealt with the opposite. We are disappointed with Lennar to say the least and should have probably “bought a better-quality custom home” as suggested by the customer service rep. ... More

I bought the house before construction. After paid deposit, it turned out the house was very not as good as expectation. The quality is bad and warranty team is bad.

I was initially pleased with watching our home being built from the ground up however as it came time to close on the property things started going Awry. We picked out a corner lot and was advised by the agent this would all be our land. As they lay the sod we began to notice they weren’t filling in the corner side of the home. As we did our first walk through blue taping things that would need to be completed before move in the house was covered with blue tape. When we came back to complete our final walk through we noticed hardly anything was completed. Our home was still covered in blue tape with we met with the head guy who apologized for the work not being done no excuse this happened to be our closing day. While going over the unfinished items I asked about the side of the home not being completed with sod it was then after paying an additional $2500 for a corner lot we were advised it didn’t belong to us and they couldn’t rezone the area. My neighbor owns the same amount of land that I do but $2500 less to not have a neighbor on side of them?? After informing them this was the reason we purchased the corner lot because we have a small child and would be throwing birthday parties and family gatherings. I was then told I could still use the property for those things. Needless to say about a month later they put all kind of landscaping making it impossible to use the land. Not to mention other things that were wrong with the home like cabinets, paint, uneven windows, first floor isn’t cool as second floor just to name a few. With a promise and handshake we were assured all things would be taken care of and we could close on the home with no worries. We did just that only to come back after hours and find out the work wasn’t completed. I will not purchase another Lennar home!!! ... More

We had a wonderful experience with the sales staff and this review is not for our rating of them. We have had a very poor experience with getting home warranty work taken care of and have found the quality of the workmanship to be poor. We feel like some of the trades just slapped the house together and do not take any pride in their work. The tile and cabinet trades have been no-shows 4 times now. Extremely irritating as our time is valuable and it’s seems like after they have our money, we just aren’t important.

Window sills are crooked, doors had to be replaced, WiFi is slow, front door lock has to have new batteries every week or it will not work and you may come home and find your house unlocked, ring doorbell doesn’t work most of the time, and the list could go on.

I closed on my house in May of 2019, and I have had issues with the workmanship of the building. The punch list that was submitted isn't even half done and it is now November 21 2019. Be aware of the lack of urgency once you close.

The process of buying a house in itself is scary. So you think that buying a newly built home would be better. Wrong. Lennar used the cheapest materials, multiple issues ready. And later we get blamed for the issues so they dont have to fix it. If i could go back I would’ve approached this whole situation very differently, been more assertive with Lennar, and not have accepted things to be “fixed after move in”. What a disappointment. A few months in and already have a list of repairs that I have to pay for. Including changing the new floor which was done terribly but the company thinks they did it all right and Lennar sides with them. Shingles keep flying off. When you have a whole community talking how bad of a job they did, you realize the problem is not you but Lennar itself. ... More

Seems value for money but actually built quality is bad. Finishing looks nice while delivery, but quality is bad. Fed up with flooring issues all over, hardwood floor or carpet flooring squeaks a lot. Does not feel solid. May be they use cheaper vendors and also bad pre-delivery inspection on Lennar part. Did not expect from this largest builder in the country.

When it compares to other homes in the area, you get more square footage for less with Lennar, but the quality is much poorer. There are obvious design flaws throughout the home (we were told they were drawn into the plan that way so there is nothing they can do), and the sub-contractors for the most part took several short cuts. Occasionally, the Customer Care team responds to Warranty items, but not all the time. And when they do, they set a date and time for a sub to come repair the issue, and then the sub never shows up. They don't even give a courtesy call to let you know. The sales process was mostly easy and straight forward. I used my own lender and Lennar didn't like that, but I saved a TON of money. They said if I used their lender they would rebate me 2% of the home value (and that seems tempting), but trust me, they make up for that in other fees, etc. ... More

Beginning with so much promises and still waiting for them to be fulfilled. So much stuff that is not done ✅ correctly done without care nor Quality there’s some stuff so bad that are already falling apart and we haven’t even being in the home for 5 months, starting from bad finishing job on cabinets, walls with horrible cracks, caulking and pain horribly done throughout the home, ships in shower bath floor. There’s lots of things that could being done right the first time before is given to the homeowner and run a right and good inspection, so Quality of products and workmanship they use is horrible very poor, inexperience who do not care about providing decent quality or good quality; horrible job in lots of stuff that every homeowner expects to be good quality. Builder claims top Quality, best and biggest throughout the US, but after this they prove otherwise very poor customer service, horrible materials and workmanship “very poor quality, ” Home not turn in or given to standard. ...

We were very happy with our experience with Lennar until it came time to close on our home. There were several things not completed but we were told that as long as the house was structurally sound we needed to close even though we wished to wait till everything was done. Once we closed it was almost impossible to get them to come back and fix things even though we were told these would all be taken care of right away. We were continually given dates and times that trades would be coming to work on things, paint, cupboards, carpet, tile, windows, only to have them not show up or bother to call to say they would not be coming. I should also note that often when trades came they did an awful job and repeat visits were needed to resolve the issues. We literally had to texted our customer service rep every day in order to get the things done that needed to be. We also contacted a supervisor who promised to come see our issues and get them resolved as soon as possible. This supervisor never showed up and we were never able to get in touch with him again. It has taken almost six months to get the majority of our issues completed and we still have minor little things that still require adjusting. This is our third new house build and we have never had issues like this before. We love our home but we would not recommend working with Lennar until they can work on their lack of follow through and customer service. Getting a new home is suppose to be a fun and joyful experience but when you move into a brand new unfinished home that you need to fight with the builder to get completed it becomes very stressful and anything but joyful. ...

The two areas i find poor is the height of the microwave. It is so high to be unusable. The master shower is beautiful but poor design. It has subway tile on floor which is slick. I almost fell. I love my home. Great floorplan.

We are now almost 5 months after our close and still have multiple issues which need to be addressed. We have tried to have a door replaced for months but either the door is delivered damaged, the hardware is not correct, the painter comes with the wrong color, etc. We have had the entire electric box replaced, the slider was a problem before and after the closing. The air conditioner was wired incorrectly and we have had a multitude of other issues. It has been exhausting and ruined our experience of buying a new home. The subcontractors lack quality in their work and often make things worse when they "fix" something. Why did we pay full price? ... More

Lennar has poor sub contractors and their follow up is horrible.

Poor quality cabinets, poor quality paint in the walls and cabinets.

The house showed very well but follow through is so poor. Once we moved in and issues arose their team put us in the back burner. The construction manager has very little resources and escrow items needed take forever. Get as many issues as possible squared away before you buy and give them your money

The overall experience was far from a positive one. Our front door was hung backwards. SEVERAL doors were not level and wouldn't close correctly / lock. The electrician they selected to do our home was HORRIBLE. He made too many mistakes. SEVERAL light switches were installed in the wrong places. Smoke detectors and light fixtures falling from the walls / ceilings. DOZENS of nail pops on day of move-in, yet we were told to wait for more to pop-up before having them repaired. Roof installed incorrectly. Bath drain not sealed resulted in water leaking through the ceiling. Wrong shower installed and refused to correct it. Outside window frame busted upon move-in. Drywalled over the attic access. Busted cabinets found during move-in. Cracks / holes in walls. There were so many things wrong during our pre-closing walkthrough. It seemed as though they rushed to the finish line and the GC didn't oversee the project well enough. Perhaps too many homes being built all at once? We spent our first three months in our home dealing with "warranty repairs" and still had to do a great deal of work ourselves to fix what was done wrong. We're putting a lot of work into making this the home we should've received as a new build. The term "turn key ready" does not describe Lennar. ... More

We closed on our home on March 27 and still have outstanding ticket items that have not been rectified. When we contact lennar reps it’s a constant blame game. For our home we have atleast 10 outstanding ticket items that have not been fixed on of them from our original punch list before we closed. I would NEVER build with lennar again and would NEVER refer to friends and family due to the headaches you have caused us.

had to be on top of 5 different people to understand delays and work to be done. House looks nice, but I see a lot of issues in terms of quality and workmanship

I put in a service call for the countertops to be fixed and the first company agreed that the countertops were cracked then the lennar construction manager came and said that he would take a look at it and see what lennar wanted to do about it. I later received a letter to sign that they address the issue and that the countertop was not cracked. You can see it crystal clear that is not a natural crack. I am very upset about this problem and I don't know if I will ever buy another home with the lennar. Or recommend to anyone unless this issue is resolved. In addition one part of the living room hallway is hollow and makes noice every time we walk through it and two doors don't shut well. My suite bathroom door. And my sons room door. ... More

Location was awesome. It was a lot cheaper than a custom home. It was painful to be ripped off and know only recourse was to walk away from a nice house. Fixtures standard low budget builder grade items. Workmanship adequate to substandard. No choices or deviations from master plan. Understand have bought a “house in a box”, meaning the absentee builder or franchise operator purchased plans and hired local labor to execute. Local labor seemed to be inexperienced subcontractor or day laborers, or sketchy bottom feeder companies. Little attention to detail or focus on quality. So far, most obvious errors have been redone by professionals at warranty company. Buyer beware. ... More

The house is nice don’t get me wrong it’s a nice neighbor hood but the house seems to be falling apart in the past couple months i had more then a few things break for example my ceiling fan mounts broke with in the first 5 minutes of operation the biggest thing is my Air condition went out it’s the middle of summer in Florida i have a new born baby little things like that are concerning

Quality of workmanship poor. Attention to detail poor.

Once you’ve purchased and closed you are dead to Lennar and they move on to the next homebuyer. The sales staff is phenomenal, but past that it goes downhill.
