Lennar Reviews

House was left dirty. Dirt was left behind the washer cannot see. Dust on the window shelves Garage was dirty The edge was broken I have never seen this in any home I bought I bought 3 new homes in Chicago Never like this this was the worst experience

Lennar builds with cheap materials and labor. Their finish work is horrible. Regret being one their townhouses in Clovis.

Complete lack of communication. They clearly cut corners when they can in their workmanship. They also select cheep appliances and options for the house.

Very poor service and communication from the beginning to the end (sales including manager were horrible in every aspect of knowledge, service and follow through/follow up from the moment we put our deposit to take off the market to closing. We didn’t even get the mailbox key until almost a month after closing because we didn’t know who to get it from and where to pick up, construction manager Dave was the most incompetent person who didn’t oversee any of the contractors to ensure jobs were done well, make the contractors fix their sloppiness or even make sure they did their jobs at all. First, final and at closing inspections were completely horrible. Ceiling crack not fixed and slapped paint which was the length of the living room (still the ere 1 1/2 months after closing), cracked tiles, kitchen island and bathroom countertops not sealed so it was damaged upon move in and they won’t replace, large crack from top to bottom of other kitchen counter and passed Lennar inspection/manager, shower not level so about 2 inches of water sits and we have to manually push water down drain not to mention large gashes on the flooring of shower which were there before move in but not replaced, vents are loud to the point we can hear them in the living room (was told by AC folks it’s a roofing issue), electrical was not wired correctly on the outside of the garage and in some of the electrical outlets throughout the home, technician from GE came 3 times to attempt to fix the new dishwasher which was broken at the onset, holes in concrete in the garage was never fixed even when addressed during initial walk thru, tiles were not sealed, all walls are different shades of paint, bathroom lighting fixtures still crooked, all bedroom floors are uneven under carpet (Dave the construction manager and carpet owner from subcontractor) said it was no big deal but he would fix if Dave told him to. Well, that never happened. Hallway closet door and frame were broken due to wrong installation per the owner of the closet door subcontractor. He said he would fix if Dave out in the order. Well, Dave never did because when Dave came back after closing he said, “you want to replace the door? It’s just bent in a little and not a big deal.” Well it’s broken and the door is so obvious that whenever contractors come in, they point it out to me immediately. That’s the kind of construction managers Lennar hires and that oversaw this money pit and horrible new build. Gauges in walls, window panes are still not fixed after addressed during initial walk thru and via the report by our own home inspector. All panes are installed where it catches water and now has water damage because Dave never followed through. The master faucet shoots water so it goes everywhere. The dryer had a large dent by the controls upon closing. The “replacement” arrived yesterday (wasn’t informed about delivery day by Dave either) and it was worse than the first new one. It has large gashes and scratches on the bottom front, door and by the control knobs, no lighting fixtures for the garage were provided. The driveway has ripples throughout the entire driveway which is so obvious everyone that doesn’t even know us makes a comment about it including the Marion County inspector who told us it needs to get redone because it’s wrong of Lennar to force us to close and take all of our earnest money without doing the job properly. Some bedroom windows blinds did not fit in the allocated space and when they came back, they were angry to fix it and they cut it with a saw which left every single blind with jagged edges. Addressed it with Dave and he wasn’t interested in even seeing it. The list goes on…All of this were addressed during the initial walk through and still not done. Had we known what our experience would have been and what kind of slapped together job of a home (2,500 sq feet) we would get for the premium money we are paying at high interest rates, we would have taken our money elsewhere with no hesitation. We weren’t treated nicely right after we put the deposit down. And the realtor who put me in touch with a Lennar salesperson who never met me there or did nothing at all received the commission because the Lennar salesperson Austin put her name down as my realtor so he could push the sale. Definitely the most unprofessional company we have ever worked with not to mention the level of incompetence and/or uncaring of how they treat their clients. No follow up or follow through let alone never doing right by the paying customer. If your money is important to you, do not invest with Lennar. We lost everything in this home. Literally everything. ... More

Do not work with Lennar. Awful customer service and builder. Very deceitful and lied multiple times. Workers were under the influence while working on our house.

When I walk into my home I am sad every day. The poor quality of this home can be seen in every wall, ceiling and floor.

Would not recommend a Lennar home to anyone. Sales associate to building supervisor were absolutely horrid. I arrived to my house after closing with front door lock improperly installed so I was unable to lock my front door. Was asked to just stay with it unlocked for one night. Frame or door was full of holes from whoever tried to install previously. After hours of waiting lock was fixed by neighbor. Front door and sliding door left open so home was very dusty and dirty. Sales associate, angie, stated someone would come clean. Never did. Building supervisor stated that I was being untruthful per Angie as walk through was day prior. Pictures were taken as proof. No hot water was available in home day 1 and 2. Boiler went bad within a week. Grass was also dying due to sprinklers not being “hooked up” as stated that they would be during walk through. Blue tape was left in home where items should have been painted but were not. Electrical issues were present as lights flicker and power trips in varies rooms, electrician blames OUC, OUC blames electrician. Was told excuse by building supervisor that buying a new home is like buying an older home. Only positive is that items are addressed by Linette quickly. ... More

Apply your hard earned money somewhere else. Voss Farms Lennar is built on nothing but shortcuts, the contractors are not overseen. They do what and how they want. I would have though that Lennar would oversee someone building under their name. From start to finish everything was presented in a misleading way. You will not find out till after you close and do not even get me started on the homeowners association, or the solar contractor that you are forced to use.. BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE

Lennar takes no pride in assuring craftsmanship in their home building. During my NHO walk through, in every room throughout the home, there was drywall, painting, and baseboards that were damaged, in need of repairs/repaint and/or replaced. Closet doors are stained with dirty hand prints from installers not wearing cloves or washing their hands. Floor grout was not cleaned properly, making the floors appear to look dirty and dingy, not to mention poorly grouted with holes or gaps throughout. The drywall throughout the home, was poorly cut and installed leaving gaps of almost a 1/4" along windows and doors. Baseboards throughout the house, has either cracks, chips, unpatched nail holes, and appears to have been painted where there was lots of sand/dirt making the appearance look very rough and dirty. The worst of it all, was the framing of the front door entrance, it was so badly done, I was in utter disbelief, that words just can't begin to explained the sloppy work that was done. The installation of the was not properly sealed causing a bug issue, and the microwave is missing air vent filters. It's been 2 months I've been living in my home and none of these repairs/replacements have yet to be made. I'm constantly having to contact the construction manager badgering him as to when this work is to be completed. The kicker of this horrible buying experience with Lennar, is they build these homes so poorly with no pride in their craftsmanship, but then have the audacity to sell these home for top $$ knowing these homes are built with no pride, which only leaves unsatisfied home owners and bad reviews; therefore ruining their reputation and company branding. ...

Our experience with Lennar has been terrible. There was very poor communication throughout the entire building process. When issues would come up, blame would be cast on other members within Lennar with no sense of accountability. The work within the house was lazy. Our walkthrough with the warranty manager was the worst customer service we have ever had to deal with. We received many excuses that any issues were not real problems. We were told "well this is not a million dollar house." We continue to have to fight with Lennar for standing water and drainage issues in our yard that is being blown off and excused away just as was attempted on our walkthrough. Do not build with Lennar, they do not care about their customers and we continue to deal with their poor craftsmanship, our neighbors have all had similar issues within our community. A very disappointing experience. ... More

Looking for the right adjective here. To say my wife and I are Disappointed just doesn’t describe how defeated we feel after waiting 10 months for our home to be built. From the lip service we received from our sales Rep (Les), who did not represent our interest at all. which led to my closing date being delayed sixty days and homes that started construction after our being finished before ours. To the poor craftsmanship that after closing 60 days ago, we are still waiting for resolution on issues to include replacing my flooring that was not square and kitchen cabinets that are damaged and drawers throughout the house that are missing parts. Trying to think of something positive to say about this build and i honestly cannot. I have built five homes over the past 30 years and this home is absolutely the worst. All I asked when we started was that you build the home like you were building it for yourself. Obviously that did not happen and the only explanation is that those doing to work just didn’t care. Everything in this house was done as cheaply as possible and definitely not worth the $381,000. ... More

Very bad especially sales person and construction manager. They need professional trainings how to deal and satisfy customers.

Yes, their warranty service is fairly quick to respond, but we have severe water damage every time it rains. We have torn the drywall apart in the front room three different times. The seams of the house were not sealed, there was a fist in the block wall about the size of my fist. This is rental property and we haven’t been able to put a single renter in after three months. I will not buy another Lennar home, the workmanship and quality are just not there.

I don’t even think there’s enough space here for me to tell you guys how horrible the experience was buying a Lennar home from the mortgage people that I am ashamed have access to my Social Security number to the workmanship that I am now living in a home that Hass to be redone. There was paint on the carpet. Things were not done complete walls were crooked. This house is been a nightmare And two months and I’m still waiting to have things done and planned to be fixed because I’m last on the list because I’ve already signed the closing documents.

From delays all the way through the entire build. The The craftsmanship is terrible they’ve had to replace a couple of doors four times inside my house still haven’t got it right the trim work is uneven there’s painting is terrible the ceiling looks terrible all the way through have failed on this entire build on top of that The project manager/corporate lennar I don’t know who can’t figure out how to get mail to our mailbox post office says they have no idea which mailbox is ours so it’s just a terrible terrible experience I will tell everyone to never buy lennar

The whole process was a mess, things that were promised on walk through still not done. I’m currently being ignored by the guy who did my walk through and I put everything into the system and with Lennar to fix not one thing has been done. Haven’t had a functional garage door since move in either and a leak in my sprinkler that was promised to be repaired before move in… still not done.

Many issues, not the quality you would expect. They respond to issues, but speed to resolve is slow. They install cheap appliances.

I hope this information is shared with other potential buyers. People must understand that buying a house process, is a for-life transaction, which makes the house buying decision a very important one in your life. In looking back to the time when we closed on our house; it was a very difficult road to get to the point where we are today. We had to make sure the final buyer walk were done, and all details found on the house were notated and addressed. in a timely manner. We hired an independent inspector to inspect the house. All issues found by the independent inspector were mostly workmanship issues. poor termination, wrong doings, and poor quality control issues. I am not a first time house buyer, and my expectations are, that the builder turns a house to the buyer (me) as promised. My expectation was to walk into a house that resembles the same standards of the model homes that I was shown, when I was doing the shopping for a house process. And this was not the case. It took many calls, emails, text messages, etc. to get the customer service dept. address the issues I kept finding in the house. I feel, this whole process of calling Customer Service Dept. would had been unnecessary if the house I purchased, was turned into me, the buyer in the same conditions of the model home I visited. That was my expectation. thank you for reaching out. ... More

A horrible experience. First, communication with everyone from sales to the mortgage team has to improve. There was no proactive communication from any of the representatives, except, obviously when something was needed from us. They changed our closing day three times, each of those times without advance notification. So you can imagine how fun it was to reschedule the movers etc. During our final walk, the Lennar rep. informed us that they couldn’t install the FLO by Moen due to an inventory shortage; hard to believe since all the houses in our street have it… Also, during the final walk, I asked the rep to include the driveway on the report, which he did but clearly said that they would not do anything to make the driveway looks better. He was right, it was not fixed, they did put a resurfacer, but it did not help at all. We decided not to push the issue since we needed a place to live and did not want to delay the closing any further. When we finally moved in, the title company sent the insurance check to a different insurance agency, long story short; we had to pay out of pocket to prevent being uninsured while they fixed their mistake. In summary, horrible customer service, I don’t recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More

Horrible workmanship and communication.

The quality is SO bad, will not buying ftom Lennar anymore

Poor workmanship, warranty terrible

This has been the worst experience of my life. I honestly would not encourage, suggest, or promote anyone I like, know or trust to purchase a Lennar home. The quality is subpar, the responsiveness to issues is next to never as far as the repair persons actually showing up. There is no flexibility with scheduling, I had to keep taking off work trying to get things repaired in a BRAND NEW HOUSE. NIGHTMARE.....RUN! I gave 1 stars to submit the review

If you’re looking for an over priced home with no adds this is your spot. Keep your expectations extremely low if you decided to build in Troy Estates .
