Worse build ever!!

  • Kevin G.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • June 22, 2021
  • Summerville, SC

So not sure where to start. Bought house with down payment, Lennar waited 3 months to start building, we went through 3 Construction managers, the 3rd one quit 2 weeks after we closed. Craftmanship is awful!! walls are wavy, paint is extremely cheap. Calking throughout home is bad. DO NOT BUY LENNAR HOMES. When we did our walk through we found issues, they told us that these issues would not hold off closing, I asked for all issues to be taken care of prior to closing. We found out during final walk through only a few were taken care of, the 3rd CM didn't even care about the issues. Now 4 ...

Right from the beginning my experience was positive. Matt B was knowledgeable and forthcoming. My timeline was pretty much adhered to. And since moving into the home a response of the warranty people has been very positive. I would recommend Lennar homes to my friends.

Lennar - Get everything in writing.

Get everything in writing. Don’t trust your sales person as they are not always told what the corporate decisions are and seem to be the last to know.

Lennar - The nail pops, tape and spackling job leave much to be desired.

  • Brian C.

The nail pops, tape and spackling job leave much to be desired. Of course, the builder only wants to make these repairs once in the whole house after a year has transpired. The job is very unsightly! Otherwise, we are happy with our house and community.

Very poor workmanship, we felt some of the contractors did not take pride in their work (ceiling with flat spots, tape joints visible, paint on carpet, crooked walls, door trim that doesn't align, all trim nail holes are very visible, crooked fireplace stones, and more. There are multiple issues that need to be fixed, replaced or redone. Also poor communication between sales team and us, were told different closing date and pushed out two months.

Low quality of craftsmanship

  • John D.

  • June 19, 2021
  • Mt Pleasant, SC

Let’s start off with the good. Jennifer in the sales team, was great to work with. Everything else has not been a good experience. The craftsmanship of the house is not of the quality you would expect from Lennar or any home builder. There are so many issues with the home. Once we submit a ticket the team try and take the easy way out of fixing the problem and then it looks worse than it did originally. The team have to fix it numerous times and it fix is not of the quality you would want for a brand new home. Another issue is the lack of responsiveness to getting open tickets done. We have ...

IT STARTED OUT AS AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE TO LOOK FORWARD TOO. LENNAR HAD A GOOD REPUTATION BACK IN THE DAY.BOUGHT VILLA ON LAKE WITH A LARGER LOT FOR THE PURPOSE TO PUT UP SMALL FENCE FOR MY TINY ELDERLY DOG. TURNS OUT HOA WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY PLANS FENCE COMPANY SUBMITTED BECAUSE OF HOA SET BACKS (NOT CITY), THEN UNDERGROUND UTILITIES WERE USED UNDER THAT EXTRA 3 FEET OF PROPERTY I BOUGHT INSTEAD OF SOMEWHERE ELSE MAKING THE SIDE YARD NOT USEABLE. I DID CHECK WITH CITY BEFORE I PURCHASED AND THEY LOOKED UP PROPERTY AND TOLD ME I HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO MEET REQUIREMENTS…THAT A SMALL LAKE IS NO ...

Had a good experience with Purchasing my home at Heritage Lake. The building process went smoothly. Would not recommend the builders lender, they are non-responsive. Save yourself the stress and use an outside lender. But the home is good value.

know you will have to spend lots of time calling and waiting for your issues to get resolved, and some will never get resolved even after they acknowledge there is a problem.

Make sure your yard is level and the sod is weed free before you close. The landscaping company (sub-contractor) did a terrible job, knows it, and doesn't care about fixing it.

Horrible new home buying experience.

I bought a new home from Lennar at Sendero in Sparks NV and I have had nothing but problems since the house was in the construction phase. I noticed some of the work done was below standards and I addressed it with the superintendent of the job-site which got most of the issues resolved. When we did our walkthrough we spotted several issues with paint scratches and broken tiles but the customer service representative Ron would say “oh we’ll take care of that” and not mark it in the list of issues, now 5 months living in this house there is still issues that need to be fixed and I called the ...
