Lennar Reviews

I have had several issues with the home that have made me unhappy with the experience. All the breakers in the kitchen blew right away and had to be replaced. Told quality of breakers not good. Also major gaps in garage door that they want a two visit process for. Make it easy for home owners!!! Too difficult to resolve issues.

Customer facing staff try to resolve issues but number of issues and quality of workmanship does not meet expectations.

Quality control must inspect the house before buyers do a walk through. And also make sure all appliances are working properly. And show them how to operated.

Lennar is a poor builder that is full of excuses. They contract with cheap trades who do not respect that this is someone’s home nor do they care about their workmanship. Many of the trades have cut corners and did shotty work, including crooked doors, ceilings, and general crappy cover ups. Lennar should be ashamed of themselves.

The price that I paid for the house that I got doesn't match. The quality of workmanship is very poor. It's not just one area, it's everywhere. Foundation concrete has stains, colors on the porch (from and back) both are single coats that can last one year. The second floor is uneven, the walls are not perfect at 90 degrees. It's been two months since we moved in but already there are cracks in the concrete. Cleaning (inside and outside) was not properly done. Even after raising the service requests, no one looked at it. Lennar was focused on closing the house rather than giving a quality product. The same issue was there with my neighbor. The final quality checks by the supervisor or responsible team were mediocre. I don't think this review will make any difference. Once the house is sold then it's done for them. Then it's all with the customers to fix those issues. Thanks to Lennar! ... More

Unfortunately, the items that we pointed out through out our building process were not addressed and then during our NHO and final walk thru all items were still not addressed and now we are 45 days since closing and we are still having to work thru these issues. Overall the quality of the contractors you contract with is below subpar and the fit and finish on the house is just not good. We would not recommend Lennar to our friends and family.

The house is beautiful, but I have to place about 10 service request to fix different kind of issues like drywall holes in the bathroom, celling and others areas, electrical connections, stucco issues around the house, paint issues inside and outside of the house, cabinets, celling, about 30 broken paver’s. The inside house are very dirt. When we do the walk trough one week before closing Lennar bring me promise to fix the issues before they bring me the house and nothing happens I have to place the service request because they don’t do anything.

I have toured numerous Lennar model homes in the past and decided to purchase a new construction home with them. I signed the contract in 2021 and they unfortunately transitioned to an inventory system where you have no choice in a lot of the main features. This includes the front elevation type and color scheme. This applies to a lot of the other options as well. During the celebration and the early days after moving in, we noticed a lot of quality issues. Almost all of the door handles, some of the light switch plates, some of the floor vents were crooked. The installers did not even use a level. One side of the fireplace had the stones stacked in glaringly crooked manner. One of the front porch pillars had a large dent the size of a grapefruit. The garage door frames have a lot of dings and scratches. An electrical outlet was not working in the basement bathroom. The electrician admitted to an error in wiring which was not noticed during installation. The central vertical wooden corbel in the front of the house has a large crack. I don't know why it was installed in this condition. When we moved in, I was given the wrong garage door code. The garage itself was dusty and had dried grass and debris along the sides. There was not sod yet and it took a month for Lennar to clear the front yard area of construction debris and trash. It is unfortunate that when it was my turn to buy a Lennar home, I did not get the quality I expected. I was told the exterior issues will be addressed when the weather gets warmer. I hope Lennar follows through and redeems itself. If not, then I will not be surprised. ... More

My overall buying experience was fine from getting prequalified, to getting my conditional approval, to ensuring all the necessary paperwork was submitted on time. It was pretty straight forward with no issues. Securing the mortgage went well. Now the home itself is where I feel the ball was dropped. There was a lot of issues/ things not completed within my house prior to moving in. I am a very understanding person and I know the pandemic has done a number on getting supplies which can delay the home building process, but that’s just that, instead of delaying closing. I felt as though Lennar was more concerned with closing the house before February 28th, by any means necessary because it was the close of their 1st financial quarter (so I heard multiple times during the process). So In short let’s just say a lot of corners where cut and things were not done properly. Within the first week of moving in, our a/c stopped working and it took two weeks and MULTIPLE angry calls to Lennar for the issue to be repaired. It’s about to be almost 2 months since I’ve closed and I’m still waiting on things to be fixed. So overall as my first home buying experience it was average at best it could’ve been better if the builder was more so concerned about the quality of work being provided rather than quantity. ...

Poor communication. Changed CSR reps 3 times. Multiple delays mixed with the horrible communication required multiple moves and overlapping rent on multiple locations. Then gave estimate of 6 months, so we signed a 7 month lease, just to find out 2 weeks later they wanted to rush the close within a month so they could hit financial targets for the quarter. Several issues due to rushed close causing dealings with about a dozen contractors post closing. Various issues around the house still unresolved. Too many to go into detail, but a few; garage door misaligned, bathtub badly damaged, crack in cabinet molding, missing pool automation box. Escalated to management multiple times with poor excuses and not a single apology for issues and financial impact caused by their team. Love the house, but would never buy from Lennar again. ...

I would not recommend Lennar. Closing was such a hassle. They pushed my closing date four times. When I closed the house still wasn’t fully complete. They did a horrible job communicating to keep myself abreast throughout the process.

Lack of communication and make sure you get a thorough inspection of the property.

The overall workmanship was poor, final product was rushed with many gaps from broken cabinets, sloppy paint job. Insurance premium through HIPPO (subsidiary of Lennar) was not paid forcing lapse in homeowner's policy and issuance of multiple dunning notices.

Lennar has great potential however unfortunately my experience has been subpar and least satisfactory. The workmanship is not great and customer service needs a ton of work. As a millennial I can appreciate Lennar moving towards a “one stop shop” approach, as that did make things simpler in the home buying process. However, there a still lot of areas that need work for a streamlined process to succeed and Lennar does not have that. For that reason I have not and will not recommend them as a builder. I would not trust them with another new build in the future.

Be cautious in using this builder. Haven’t proven themselves trustworthy.

Difficultly in getting anyone to show up on time

The material is very cheap, the work was done quickly and is falling apart. They take so long to fix the stuff they have messed up on. I would pay abit more next time and get a better builder.

I would never recommend this builder to anyone because they sacrifice quality for quantity. I’ve never experienced anything like I have with Lennar. It’s sad that no one even seems to care.

Still having issues. Poor response

I would rather not comment. If I had it to do all over again, there will be things that I would’ve done differently. It seems that I was set aside because I do not use the preferred lender or realtors on site.

Unfortunately, we had lots of issues with our home that we feel could’ve been avoided if we had a good construction manager supervising all its people. We did not have a refrigerator for a month, we had a water damage with a storm for improper window installation, moisture in a closet and many drywal/painting repairs. Not to mention the home was delivered without door handles upstairs, our kitchen and bathroom cabinets were a mess they had to reorder some of them and they are still on schedule to re-do our master bath shower as they did a TERRIBLE job installing it. We have a wonderful person helping us (Alexis Saber), thanks to her we have been able to repair everything promptly. She has been so attentive and wonderful to us. She and Natalia Morales have been the best experience we’ve had with Lennar, other than that I definitely wouldn’t recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More

Quality is not great. “Everything’s Included” but low quality. Appliances and gadgets installed are outdated.

Not flexible to any design changes. Every house is built to existing plans which cannot be changed anywhere. You must ask which plan has most of the features you want and go with it realizing you are missing a couple of features you want. Poor aspects of design and workmanship can be easily identified. The finishing of the baseboards, window sills, and doors were so bad we made them do over. The repainting the trim was worse than the original so we ended up sanding everything down and we repainted ourselves. All door casings were so close to the door frames that the tongue of the door latch hit the casing before the Lip Strike which removed the paint quickly. We had to order and install 17 extended lip strikes to protect the door casings. The outside hose connection on the garage side is at the rear corner of the house which requires you to purchase a 200 foot hose if you want to wash your car in the driveway. What were they thinking? A large window frame was so crooked we had them tear it out and reframe it plumb so it didn't stand out forever. And the Supervisor said he inspected the work completed every day. Communication between staff was very little or last minute. We complained about so many items that the Supervisor told us in early March to no longer contact him, but to submit a customer care request on the Lennar website. We did that and three of the five items were addressed today, April 12. Two of the three items still need finished. The face of our fireplace is flat black on the side and the hearth is flat black. Them someone painted the top face of the fireplace satin black which stands out quickly to anyone who looks at it. This was mentioned to the Supervisor during the walk through and nothing was ever done about it. The 110v wall outlets were purposely installed 12 feet apart, per code, to keep costs low. No common sense was applied such as putting a outlet on each side of where the beds would be for each nightstand so one side of the bed has exposed wires extending from an outlet on a adjacent wall to one of the two nightstands in every bedroom. The cable TV connections in all three bedrooms were located close to the baseboards and not positioned next to a 110v outlet. Many homeowners, like myself, prefer to mount the their TVs up on the wall because they don't have a long piece of furniture, or the room, to sit it on. Nobody considered putting the cable connection up on the wall with a 110v outlet next to it so wires and cable would not need to be extended from the connections near the floor. Again, no evidence of common sense, only totally focused on low costs and high profits. Please be warned by these comments before considering purchasing a home built by Lennar. Let the buyer beware. Those at Lennar who are faced to deal with this review are welcome to visit me and I will personally provide you with a guided tour of the poor design and common sense decisions made by your design team. I would rather you use all your energy not to visit, but to make decisions to make changes to prevent reviews like this going forward and improve customer satisfaction. ... More

I did not have a good experience with this company. It started out great. Danielle, Doug and Alex was awesome. I had a huge problem with Amy my loan processor. I was starting to think I was discriminated against. Overall, we finally got the kinks worked out. I would not recommend Lennar Mortgage to anyone. I am missing 2 of my cabinet drawers. My outlets in bathrooms do not work. I will reach out to Alex about this problem. My floor baseboard in Master bedroom is still noisy after my home inspector noted it in the report. They were supposed to fix it.

The house quality is very different with the model homes. I spoke directly with the site building manager and he said this is Lennar standard quality. He said that just to not wanting to make corrections to poor built quality workmanship and not wanted to hear from the buyer. It seems like Lennar hired a group of builders off the streets and gave them the projects. I have seen many Lennar model homes but none look like the one that i purchased. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I would never advice/suggest/recommend the people around me to go with Lennar. I am willing to speak directly with the officials in the cooperate regarding to my homebuying experience with Lennar. Please contact me. ... More
