Lennar Reviews

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.

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
