Lennar Reviews

The Sales Manager at Spring Creek is awful!!!

This house was put together it seems in a rush. You can see that they put up houses like crazy and not take the time to do things correct. I want a builder that does the job 100% not 60% just to hurry up and put up countless houses. It’s bull. We have had dozens of issues. Nails sticking up through the carpet that you won’t fix. The screen door is not right, the base boards were screwed up, the dry wall is done pisspoor, the threshold by the front door is loose even though they fixed it when it was loose from before. On a good many of the outlets they cut away too much for the socket to go in so there is a small gap, the caulking is horrible throughout the house. List goes on. I was told I can’t write or email or contact anyone who would care so I have to take what fixes you will do and take what things you won’t like the nails sticking through hurting my daughters making them bleed and tip toe on the carpet. That’s bull and I will let every one know not to buy from lennar because they care only for profit and not quality. I’m sure there is other builders that care more about quality then profit. And I will find one for my next house. But you got me tricks on me right. ... More

Don’t trust when they tell they will fix things ,it was not done during the first walk, nor the second, and it took three months and a half to be able to move in! Horrible frustrating experience

Workmanship is bad. Very low quality checks. The website does not allow you to keep track of the issues/timeline that you submitted. They do it on purpose. You have to call everyday for 1-2 weeks to fix one issue.

When I was told by the head of construction for Palm Beach County and also the GC license holder for Lennar, Scott, as well as the head construction supervisor Mack, countless customer service representatives, sales managers and sales people, the construction supervisor at Arden, Daryl (I may have missed a few but) being told that everything would be taken care of but yet waiting over 120 days for punch list items to be remedied as well as countless warranty items, I would say that this has got to be the worst construction company around. When I hand all these people a list with pictures! of well over 400 items that should of and could have been corrected prior to construction being completed, I was told it would all be taken care of and yet if I didnt close that day (March 28, 2019), I would lose my deposit and they would sell this home to someone elsehere so here I am 4 months later still unable to fully move in to my home in fear of damages to my personal property from the reckless sub contractors that are on site still needing to correct many many many many many things at my home. I would welcome the heads of construction for Florida or maybe even nationally to come look at this gem of a home and tell me they would accept this if that was their family that was mistreated like this. Please understand that I have well over 2000 photos as well as over a 100 videos of all the issues that happened with this home before during and after construction. I do have an initial 558 claim that our attorney drafted for us but for some silly reason, I am giving a little more time to this company to correct all of these errors before I commence with the legal activities. This was by for my worst investment and decision of my life and never would I do this again with Lennar. A new home purchase should be fun and exciting not miserable and devastating. ... More

Poor timeliness when responding to issues. Poor communication with new homebuyers. Delay in getting all issues fixed/completed. Overall, would not recommend!

We have built houses with five other builders and Lennnar was the worst experience. There is no consistency with work orders because the staff is constantly changing. The construction part was very sloppy and attention to detail. We didnt even get towel racks or toilet paper holders and we paid over 300k for this house. We were told this community would have walking trails, a playground, and a picnic area and none of that has been built. The pool is a joke! It's tiny for the size of our neighborhood and don't even have a lock on it so there are constantly trespassers there destroying what we pay for. Once you're signed with Lennar they don't care about customer service. ... More

Mistakes all over in what you asked for. . Looks nice until you uncover all the rushed poor workmanship all over the house.. Getting a response to issues is a nightmare with numerous requests needed, supervisors that do not respond, workmen that do not show up, and then you find what is "not covered" you were not told about. Regret purchasing a Lennar home,. .

Instead of being an exciting process, it was a headache due to lack of professionalism and business ethics. I had to get my attorneys involved that cost my an arm and a leg. I do not recommend doing business with Lennar. And everyone in my condo went through similar experiences and have the worst reviews about their experience too. Reading reviews on their social media will give you a better flavor of how unethical they are.

Quality is not good in and out side

We have had to file 7 claims to care in 3 months. Lennar refuses to do anything above the minimum to fix. Not something we ever anticipated with a brand new home. Continue to set high expectations and fail to deliver on them.

We purchased a brand new house not a fixer Right? We only purchased from Lennar because of the lot. Our house sits on hole 3 at Copper River Golf Course. Before we moved into our home we noticed water coming up the grout of the tile in the living and kitchen. 5 months later the problem is still not fixed and Lennar is totally dragging their feet fixing the issue. We will have to move out until our new home if fixed! Purchasing a new home should have been a great experience....it was just the opposite.

There was dishonesty from salesman and lenders

If you are going to purchase a Lennar home be sure you can be onsite everyday looking at the construction being done. The workmanship was not good on our house and we will be putting in rework tickets the entire year during our warranty period. You also need to do a thorough walk through before you accept the house and pack your patience for closing; just plan on a three hour ordeal. Good luck!

We purchased our house from Lennar about 5 months ago. We identified a lot of issues before the closing date. The builder was not able to fix all of them before the closing date. I signed a document to accept the house and did leave a note in the document that there were things in the punch list that were not completed before the closing date. They told us they were going to fix them after the closing date. For example, there were squeaks throughout the stair landing areas. It took them almost a month to send someone to my house. The contractor replaced several wood planks; however, they left the house without installing the trims, which I left a note in the work order. After 2 months, another contractor came to fix new squeaks identified during the "60-day" punch list and installed the trims in the stair landing areas without painting them. The quality of the wood planks installed in is horrible. You can see different colors and the floor is not leveled. Actually, the "NEW" stair landing areas look older than my previous 20-year old house. I would upload a picture if I can. Additionally, there were squeaks throughout the house. We were so angry to find out that the sub floor on the second floor hallway was not nailed and in fact there was not a single nail in some sub floors. To give you another example, after moving in the house, we noticed that the kitchen sink cabinet was flooded with water and we found that the sink were left unsealed at all. There are so many examples that I can list on and on (e.g., a leaking pipe for the sprinkle system, squeaks under bathroom tiles, giving us a dead tree, water erosion in the back yard etc.).The customer services were horrible as well. The first warranty manager left the company right after we purchased the house. There was no one assigned to us. So nobody came to house to record the 30 day punch list (hence the 60-day punch list before)and all our emails to the warranty manger were not answered. The second warranty manager was responsive hence the two-star rating for responsiveness. Looking back, I am deeply unsatisfied by the builder. They have very nice sales people but the quality of the house is so bad that I would not recommend the builder to my family and people I know. ... More

Horrible at getting back, I have been waiting for work to be done for months, flooding issues, horrible

The townhome is not level, the trim work and cabinets are all crooked. There was holes in the subflooring they just put carpet over and never thought we would find. Our backsplash was cracked and they didn’t want to fix. They installed the wrong size island counter top, wrong kitchen sink, wrong facets in every bathroom, wrong shower heads in every shower, and wrong door handles on all the exterior doors. Our builder Mark Prokosch was terrible and completely untrustworthy and never responded to emails. He never seemed to know what was going on and never replaced items that were suppose to be changed out. ... More

My home wasn’t ready prior to close. They had approximately 30 items on the checklist that needed to be addressed and corrected prior to close. I already sold my other home and needed to move. I had movers lined up to do so after I closed on my Lennar home. They asked me to close even know they were not close to complete and asked me for 3 additional days to finish the items we agreed to that were on my list to close. I should of trusted my better judgment & not close until the work had been completed. I closed & ended up moving into an unfinished incomplete home. They changed builders 3 times. It took 5 months to get them to come back out to complete the items. I had blue tape on the inside and outside of my home for those 5 months calling once a week to try to get them out. I had to go through warrantee, which didn’t make sense. Their reason was because I had already closed. They broke their promises & made it really difficult to get them back in. I ended up doing a lot of things myself. The 3rd builder that was supposed to handle the checklist claimed that he knew nothing about my list & was there to build the new homes. My home wasn’t on his list. He told me that I had to take the items of concern up with warrantee. The warrantee guy was not reliable & seemed to jerk me around. Most of the neighbors felt the same way and had very similar experiences. The sales folks & builders seemed to be on a revolving door. Continuous shell game. Love my location & home since I have gotten things fixed & adressed mainly from outside contractors & work myself. Very disappointed with Lennar and them allowing their employees to represent them in this manner. Most of the items would have been common sense solutions. They just had to touch things 3 & 4 times instead of taking pride in their work to do it right the 1st time. The painters & Sheetrock guys were approximately 90% of the problem. They seemed to be Day labors. Gary K ... More

VERY POOR :

Terrible quality and refusal to address issues. Construction manager is unorganized and dishonest. Closing never takes place on time; unnecessary delays due to poor management. Builder cuts corners and tries to force you to accept poor quality work. Would never recommend Lennar. Neighborhood is nice with great people, but the build was not a good experience.

Lennar builds homes fast. But without quality workmanship. Each home is u set intense pressure to build so fast lots of shortcuts and sloppy workmanship is the norm. Months after closing we are finding things that were covered up so they would close on time especially areas outside the house, like a drainage pipe covered over with sod so we had a flood. or on top of the house where vents were installed without covers and we had a leak. The fact that at closing the take $750 for future improvements does not go into the reserves to fix future hoa issues, it is pocketed by lennar. our reserves only had $2000 for a community of 200 potential homes. They also do not pay hoa fees on spec homes they have for sale again bleeding our reserves for when they leave the project and move on. Not a trustworthy builder at all. Will never buy a lennar home again. ... More

I closed on my $750k home back in February. This experience has been nothing but a nightmare. I have major construction issues...including mold! How do you have mold in a brand new build?! I’m still living out of boxes and can’t even unpack or begin to enjoy my new home. Has been the worst experience ever!

I feel the homes finishing was rushed and small important details overlooked and the KNOWOLOGY group is the worst. Slim to no response to resolve issues and lack of info and guidance

This is my first home and i must say i am disappointed in the quality of the craftsmanship. I've been in constant contact with Lennar customer service to attempt to set up repair services to fix multiple issues within my new home. Before closing i had to have the roof redone because it was not done correctly the first time. Over all i am not impressed with the quality of the work.

Look elsewhere.
