Lennar Reviews

We purchased a 6-year-old model in bad shape, Lennar didn't correct every warranty item, just a few of them. They refused provide information and keys to the home. Therefore, we needed to locksmith and get new lock and keys for $340.00, and same the pavers we did them for $250,00 in Nov. 2024. But Lennar never repaid us.

Don not rely on homebuilder or workers as you have to watch and inspect everything they build or try and correct.

To be perfectly honest, I feel as though Lennar does not want to have any direct contact with the buyer. The entire experience has left us underwhelmed. Buying the home was rush rush and we had no time to hire an inspector which has created many problems for us as I believe most issues would have been found or we wouldn’t have bought the home. Constant ongoing issues with heating system that is completely inadequate. Poor Workmanship, quality of materials is ever before us. Trying to get things repaired is difficult and the customer service system is set up so customers get frustrated and give up and call a local professional to repair their home. The home was not inexpensive so we expected more. We have only ourselves to blame as the reviews are out there. Lennar has been given a “D” among the home builders throughout the country. ... More

I would not recommend anyone to Lennar. Quality issues and an electric water heater that sounds like a compressor. Electricity bill 4xs the amount of my neighbors. Ridiculous experience.

Mediocre workmanship, fast finish to meet their deadline, which meant even more corners were cut. Painting over light switches, bad wood stain on the railings. Overall pretty cheap looking. Plus the closing experience with Lennar Mortgage was a disaster. I would not buy another Lennar home.

make sure you have everything on paper they say or will denied it

Lenner drives to be a builder who cares about buyer experiences and this has hired buyer concierge and new home celebrations etc, but in really it doesn’t matter and the same old working model and vendor management is in place. Construction Manager pushes things to vendors and don’t follow up properly to ensure the issues are taken care off. New home celebration guy just shows up to make paint touch ups. People put hard earned money into these investments - do you think it is a joke?

After I started the process of buying my home I could not get in contact with my agent. The loan processor told me different terms than I was told by the agent. My realtor was instrumental in helping me because the concierge wasn't much help either. I thought I got a good price for my home, but I didn't get a lot of things that are standard in most homes. The windows do not open and close, there are no blinds, no towel bars, and no backsplash. The oven is not self cleaning and the cabinets in the kitchen were not installed properly and there are no ceiling fans. I did not get an orientation on the HOA or utilities and I still haven't. The drain in the master bath backed up and it was full of trash. There is a serious leak in the wall behind the master sink. The positive is I love the tile in the bathrooms. I like the location of my home and I have a large backyard. The service technician, Dominic has been awesome. If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have but I did not get good customer service. ... More

Our recent purchase of a home from Lennar, unfortunately, was far from smooth experience. While the house itself is okay, though we had to point a few things to repair in 2 external inspections and 2 walks we did before closing; the whole process of buying was frustrating. Lennar offered no flexibility on anything — from minor adjustments to deadlines, there was little room for negotiation or understanding. To make matters worse, management was practically impossible to reach. It was difficult to get answers to even the most basic questions. I expected a more customer-focused approach, especially for such a significant purchase. Not the smooth experience I had hoped for. Even our real estate agents expressed that in their decades of working in industry, they never had any of their clients or for themselves see a bad customer service at the level Lennar showed. ...

They were incredibly convincing until we passed the time with our earnest money. They stated that Lennar cared, and even though they generally don’t install radon mitigation systems, they would take care of their customers. They didn’t. The level on our home was the equivalent of smoking 80 cigarettes per day And we have two children, and children are 10 to 12 times more likely to develop cancer due to radon exposure. Materials are cheap, if you wipe the wall with a napkin, white paint comes off of the wall and that’s not even with a chemical on the napkin. The caulking in the bathroom separated from the tub within the first week of moving in. You can feel tack strips throughout the carpet of the home, even though we asked multiple times for it to be fixed. It even cut my daughters toe. One of the walls was crooked, they fixed the wall, but never came back to paint it, so it’s just left the color of the putty or whatever they use which is not the color of the home even though we have requested it to be fixed. Honestly, it’s been horrible for a brand new home. Not the best experience by far, especially for how expensive these houses are. It’s more expensive to live in Utah than it is in California. ...

I should have stayed at Oltoff builders in Clover grove! First walk through problems not taken care of, second walk through problems still not taken care of. Once you close no one seems to care All the big electric boxes and the AT&T bic should have been put in the backyards. Looks terrible out front. Bad Bad Bad!!

Lots of nice promises, but a complete failure in following through with those promises. Assigned a "concierge" to help with the closing process who was completely useless. Closing process was delayed due to Lennar's failure to have the paperwork ready. Pre-closing inspection seemed to go well except that very little of the inspection faults were actually resolved. Installed dead sod, breaking multiple sprinkler heads in the process, failed to respond to a work order for a faulty circuit breaker that tripped every time the refrigerator compressor kicked on, installed a fence with severely warped lumber, and the list goes on. Bottom line = I would never recommend a Lennar built home to anyone. ... More

This is our 5th new home build. The care and attention to detail is by far far and away the worst in this home. If I were a trades person, I would be embarrassed to leave a job that looked like many of the "finished" work in this house. I think this could be a beautiful home if attention to detail and some care was used.

my wife and i thought the materials were very poor. we were told we are getting a certain package, but it was not explained that it would be at the very bottom of the packages. the kitchen has 2 drawers and that's it. we are very disappointed in what we bought. i would never ever buy a Lennar home again. people ask me what i think of these homes and all i can tell them is they are cheap.

We paid for shutters which were not measured and ordered prior to close of escrow, as we were somehow missed in the process. Nearly 2 months after close and providing data repeatedly, we have not received any response or updates on activation status for solar from Sunnova. Subcontractors are below standard. Welcome orientation did not explain the walkthrough process well, and customer service rep did not show up to introduce himself. We had to find out who is our rep, although he has been pretty helpful since. Affiliated Lennar Insurance wasted our time reaching out to us to offer us a quote which was invalid, and we scrambled to find other insurance alternatives. Quality of the house is yet to be determined. Cannot say we will recommend Lennar. ... More

Rushed through walk thru. Was lied to about numbers were placed on house. It was never done. Took 2 months after closing to have house numbers put on house.

We were rushed through our final walkthrough. Jonathan was the individual who did our walkthrough with us. There were numerous issues that were not corrected. The drywall around one of the heater vents was horrible and they tried to fixed it by slapping drywall mud all over it when the damage was something that would require the drywall around it to be cut out and replaced.This was brought to Jonathan’s attention. There was a huge void in the center of one of the bedroom floors where it was evident there was no pad under the carpet. The carpet was not tacked down and was brought to Jonathan’s attention, but not corrected by the time we were finished with closing. I explained to Jonathan that we were moving things into the house and they would have to move furniture in order to re-tack the carpet. Jonathan told me this would be my responsibility. The plug for the refrigerator in the Nexgen did not work. I notified Jonathan of this on the day of closing and he told me to submit a warranty request. The A/C units were leveled out with a few clumps of dried clay; there is no solid base under them. A rain storm eroded much of the steep incline on both sides of the house. Jonathan said they would not fix it. At closing, the Lennar Title representative said they would have to regrade the slope. Also, the north side yard is VERY STEEP and Jonathan said they would not install a retaining wall. This is a fall hazard. After closing, Jonathan was informed of what was told to us at closing. He said he would let the superintendent know and get back with us. It has been almost 2 months and I have not heard a word from Jonathan or the superintendent. There is dirt and debris, to include trash from workers in the heater vents, hard lumps under the carpet, as well as under the tile in the laundry room (probably drywall mud that was not scraped off). The wall in the living room of the Nexgen bows out significantly and Jonathan said nothing could be done about it as all of the Superhomes are like that around the air vent. I met with the neighbors, who also have a Superhome, and their wall does not bow out. Jonathan just did not want to fix this like so many other things. The wood used for the railings is TOTAL JUNK!! Super rough, warped, and cracking. SPLINTER HAZARD!! I did try to submit a warranty request but it would not allow me to log in. I then tried about 2 weeks later and it kicked me out of the request before I had completed all of the issues. We let our sales rep know about the issues we were having and still no response from Lennar. We’ll see if anybody really reads though this and tries to reach out! ... More

This is my first time buying with Lennar, would I do it again ? NO the quality of materials used are the cheapest they can find. As I watch the new builds down the street, I see unskilled day labor being used. They break a door and toss it. No care is given to the quality of work or workers! To be honest, they really need to find good at least half skilled labor. Mostly I see unskilled illegals working. Brought in by the truckload daily, no lie they work, but have no idea what they are doing. My low voltage electric to doorbell was put in as a 16volt and should have been a 24 voltage, the "best" electrician was sent out with a sidekick that didn't speak English. We were told there was no problem and we just didn't know what we were doing. A week later I was right and the Ring doorbell was burnt out by the wrong voltage being used!! Had to call them out for an electric short in the bedroom and the ceiling fan blowing the fuse. The box in the ceiling was broken, but added anyway then painted over in an attempt to hide it! Again the "best" electrician was sent. He blamed us and said we caused it. When my husband attempted to show him the problem (a pinched wire in the wall) he again said we must have caused it and then ran out the door with his minion. Honestly, if I knew all this, I would have skipped over this builder all together! It's a nightmare. The ceramic floor was floated and grouted correctly.. kind of.. but never sealed ! We were told in a year they will check it, regrout and then WE have to seal it??? Um, I've never heard of such a thing! The garage is supposed to be a 2 car, but only if you do not have any extra stuff to store there. We have to park in the driveway because you cannot get 2 cars in it and get out without a can opener. Again, who builds a house like that.??? Also, no storage ANYWHERE! The attic area was insulated wrong and most areas of the house inside and out were not sealed with caulk correctly. Ants and other things get in and we had to finish the work correctly. Unbelievable- i will sell as soon as i can to find something more livable. ... More

Bought a show home Was told by the sales person that we walk the home and mark anything that needs to be taken care of.went to a walk through with a couple of Lennar representatives and was told that I bought my home as is they did help with a few things. Me as a homeowner when I sold my house the new buyers walked my home and marked a few things that they wanted repaired as I thought Lennar would do. Also I bough the furniture in the show home a peace of furniture was missing For two months now I have tried to get this replaced but no one at Lennar wants to help! Danny M

My Lennar loan officer lied about the incentive. It left a sour taste in our mouth. It was too late to walk away so we had already wrapped up at our previous place. It was not until we asked for final number (the breakdown for cash to close was not provided until we pressed for it) where the lie came out. It explained why they did not want to provide us with the number until the last second.

My experience so far with Lennar Triple Creek 50 QR, has been very negative. Mainly since moving into the home there has been a strong (methane/sulfur) odor problem in the house that has not yet been resolved. A work order submitted via the Lennar Home Warranty Portal, only to have it denied stating "not covered under warranty" Workmanship, materials and appliances are of poor quality, The home is not worth the price paid. I regret making this Lennar at Triple Creek 50 QR home purchase.

I am think about sell house reson no heater and warming house nothing only air blew itt...... where warm we did try headter turn on not work .. we did reproter office where we buy it ... why bother buy fix service we have warning house not old only one week and two week never fix ... very poor your company more like sucks ...

I had to have 3 blue tapes, using more than 1 roll each time, these issues for the most part are still not fixed. The process is very difficult for someone who lives in an area where the internet is not available. Supposedly I was supposed to be provided with a packet at closing, which I did not receive. Also, another packet was supposed to be emailed to me, which I did not receive. So I'm having a hard time finding out who to contact for different issues. I thought I would have internet when I moved in, but the line was clogged, I finally have it after 4 weeks of living here. I had a water leak, they think it's fixed but there is still a big hole out front. Interior grade, non keyed locks were installed on exterior doors and the front door one has already fallen off. ...

I feel there has been way to many issues for being here less than 40 days, especially what we paid for this house. To start, 30 days prior to close water was pouring into the basement from a fitting that came loose the week they introduced water to the house. Surprisingly nobody was there or pressure tested the system. Just turn the water on and leave. If we wouldn't of come to the house to check like we did every weekend who knows how long the water would of been spraying. Upon move in 75% of the sod was dead from lack of watering by lennar. Housekeeping and cleaning of the house was horrible, basement still had mud splatterd all over the walls from power washing the floor, which is ridiculous for paying 500,000 for a house. Should be spotless. We have had windows that would barley open, problem with the sliding glass door, poor quality cuts on the siding in numerous spots. Never watered the blanket seed in the back yard. 2nd floor squeeks very bad. Crack on the front porch concrete that goes under a beam for the roof and a crack on the sidewalk in front of the driveway which after a winter those cracks will open up. Sump pump and incoming water meter were leaking, basement window is off track. Poor workmanship on trim going up the stairs. Even the window guy that showed up to address the windows said alot of the problems was poor cleaning and house keeping during construction. There was drywall mud and dust in the tracks. On the 7 day walk trough the outside trim was still not painted, and the gutter were up so when they painted they never removed down spouts and just painted around the gutters so you can still see bare trim. It is very hard to get ahold of Hayden our neighborhood rep, I called corporate and they said the project manager would call me to adress the lack of response and he never called. No wonder the people under him don't care, leadership reflects. None the less to say this is pretty disappointing for something we were excited for. The quality of craftsmanship is horrible and the lennar reps could care less. Many neighbors I've spoke with have been experiencing the same issues, and again for what we are paying we should not be experiencing these kind of problems so soon. I have many pictures during the build showing poor quality and poor workmanship throughout the build. It clearly shows lennar only cares about building these house as quick as they can, and quality falls at the waistline. They follow up is horrible from lennar and they make appointment to correct stuff and the crafts never show, my wife moved her work schedule to be here for they appointment Hayden set and only one person showed. I am concerned with all these problems we've experienced in 2 months what else is going to happen or how structurally sound this house is. I would appreciate if someone from corporate would contact me as we can discuss this in person as I've called numerous lennar numbers and have gotten nowhere past Hayden. ... More

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of construction in my brand-new home from Lennar. The HVAC system is not working properly and fails to provide adequate air circulation to the second floor, making it uncomfortably warm and nearly uninhabitable. This is a basic issue that should have been addressed before the home was handed over. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue, the builder has not provided a satisfactory solution. I expected much better quality and service for a new home and am very frustrated with this experience. I do not recommend this builder to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable home. ... More
