Lennar Reviews

Although this should have been one of the most exciting times in our lives....it was ABSOLUTELY the worst. If you buy a Lennar home be prepared for whole bunch of promises on the front end (before you sign) and be prepared after you sign to fight with Lennar over EVERY single issue that you have. (The warranty) Also, they switch up the rules for what they promised in order to meet THEIR needs and not YOURS!!! No one wants to take responsibility and they like to pay pass the buck. I strongly recommend getting a home inspection before the drywall goes up... it might save a lot of mental stress on your end. Also, document EVERYTHING!! ……….. I do LOVE the neighborhood I live in.... but buyer beware. ... More

There is still things that aren’t been Finish my Dishwasher and the grass

Our home was built in a guinea pig of semi-custom home neighborhood at a luxury price point. The Lennar project managers and subcontractors do not understand how to complete a home of this nature that isn't their traditional entry level home offer with only A, B or C options. The timeline was well beyond what we were promised, the sub-contractors created so much havoc that Lennar had over 200+ items to fix at close, and fortunately, we did not use the Lennar financing team, so we were able to not be forced to close with 200+ issues wrong with our home. We had them fix the majority before we closed, and about 30 issues remained, and these took two months to fix beyond close only because I called and emailed relentlessly, and managed the sub-contractors myself in order to get everything done. Be prepared if you don't buy an entry level home that you will have a second full time job managing their project managers and subcontractors to get the home to the point where it can be inhabited and get what you paid for from them. If you are looking for luxury, semi-custom, do not look here until they fundamentally change the way they go to market and revamp their entire team. ... More

From the beginning of building our home to this day, I have had issues with building my home. It started with not being able to upgrade our kitchen, even though I was the first person to pick a lot in the new phase. I later find out that others were able to pick the upgraded kitchen. I then had a home inspector check on the home before drywall and found 30 plus items that needed to be addressed, which major items were not addressed at the time when it was easier for everyone, but later when drywall was already installed. I closed on the home and was unable to enter the home due to keys not working. The grass in my backyard needs to be replaced due to the condition and it should be St Augustine grass like my neighbors, but Lennar put cheaper grass. I then find a leak in one of the bathrooms that leaked to the master bedroom and master closet. I still have multiple issues with the tiles in the bathrooms, painting, walls throughout the house, cabinets in the kitchen, floors upstairs that are uneven, exterior wall damage from the water leak, driveway that needs to be redone due to damage prior to moving in, garage door needs to be painted, electrical issues with outlets, grout issues in the bathrooms, and many more other things. So will I finally be contacted about these issues that I have addressed with Lennar? ... More

If I could do this all over again and the house was Free I wouldn’t go Lennar!!! Save yourself the headache! Please go with another builder. I could write a book with how many things went wrong from the loan process to now . I bought my home nov 2019 and I still cannot use my master bedroom because of poor worksmanship DO NOT BUY LENNAR ! Truthfully they don’t even deserve one star.

Please don't close on your house until all issues ate resolved .

Your survey arrived a little before ‪4:30‬ this morning, and shortly AFTER the Lennar contracted cement crew working on the lots behind our house. They were here ‪at 4:20 am‬. I know these are extraordinary times we are living in, however, I don’t believe those circumstances warrant a pre-dawn work site start with loud equipment and lights shining into our home. Nor does it excuse the complete lack of follow-up communication from Lennar regarding our ongoing defective lighting, untethered toilet, & two missed appointments to correct our warranty issues. Unless of course this survey is indeed that promised communication. Working with the sales office was great. We have no issues with the actual transaction. However, the quality of the home we purchased, and lack of subsequent customer service from the warranty side of Lennar’s business have left me so dissatisfied, I could never recommend Lennar to another home buyer at this point. ...

We found the quality of craftsmanship is marginal to say the least. Repair projects are still not completed after almost five months. As an example the holes in our outside gable were patched months later an now appears to be coming undone and we are still not able to use our two bathtubs due to improper installation. Lennar’s communication process needs to be restructured to reflect vast improvements.

Issues have not been resolved from November of 2019 it is now April 2020

The house itself has a serious problem.

I wouldn’t recommend this builder.

Never again will I do business with these people, ever again. poor construction with numerous issues after sale. Would never recommend them to even my worse enemies

My house has had 3 plumbing issues in 3 months. They've had to rip walls down, take out the floors and appliance, and repaint. I lost work time, my family and friends had to take time while all this work was done. Let's just say Lennar does not keep good on their promises. This was also my first home buying experience and it has been awful.

Siding not finished on house. Decking done incorrectly with wrong materials. Gray hole filler used on dark brown cabinets, looks like paint spatters. Grading on lot buried construction debris such as nails, wood & metal scrap, etc. No warning when tradesmen would show up AFTER move in Surprise! Material used on back porch were not what was sold to us nor per plans submitted. Cracks and nail pops never fixed. Touch-up on paint not done. Repeated attempts to resolve deck and siding issues gone unanswered. Grading not done to code 3:1, Hit house numerous times with large machinery. Subcontractor lied about installation procure for screen and decking. ... More

Find a different builder.

subcontractor and superintendent have come out to fix thing and just make thing worse. My Husband and I have been in the construction industry for many years and this is the worst customer service. maybe you should have the subcontractor and superintendent who built the model build the rest of the development very disappointing.

Other than the building foreman, the interest in your home buy post signing ranges from apathy to derision.

My previous review was removed by the site owner and it didn't even provide specific detail. If you'd like a first time quality (not 4th time quality) and a well built home, look for another builder. I would never buy from Lennar again nor recommend them to anyone.

Horrible experience

By far the worst buying experience we have ever had... We were initially excited to buy a home from Lennar. That excitement quickly faded after it became clear that Lennar's priority was to close on our home regardless of the countless examples of poor workmanship. From the sales office to senior leadership, everyone involved in our home buying process made it clear that meeting Lennar's sales quotas were more important than upholding any standard of quality, honesty or integrity. Will never buy from Lennar again.

We signed our contract for a new home in 2/2019 and were told that we could expect closing to take place sometime around mid-November. When we received an email that our closing date had been pushed up to 10/1 we were thrilled. However in walking it privately we found several items that were incomplete, so we documented them with photographs and sent the information to our sales rep; upon review the closing was pushed back to 10/15, understandably. We had our NHO (New Home Orientation) on 10/14 and there were issues notated on the form with the customer service coordinator, the most serious of which was that there was a sort of expoxy/glue strewn on the vast majority of the walls and carpet on the 2nd floor. With everything notated on the form, we opted to close the next day. Huge mistake. Upon moving in we discovered there was no hot water in the house. It was barely lukewarm, but not at all hot. The pluming contractor came out the following day to look at it and discovered that a line had not been connected properly in the water heater. The plumbers had to saw holes out of the foyer, the closet, and in the bathroom to look for the line. Mind you this is a brand new home. After sawing the holes out they determined they would have to drill approximately 3’ into the concrete in the garage floor and through the foundation of the home. After 3 straight days of drilling and not finding the buried line, they were able to connect what they needed. After that, however, our issues continued to mount: Getting all of the incomplete items addressed was near impossible. We had to call the construction manager daily to get answers and were always promised a date for a contractor to come to deal with the paint issue, or the drywall issue, etc ..... however repeatedly no contractor showed for the “appointment.” During this time Lennar went through several construction managers but finally I was able to speak with a district supervisor who was helpful in getting the vast majority of the issues resolved. We are still awaiting some items to be addressed, and we are now 6 months past closing. I would never, ever recommend Lennar as a builder based on our experience in building our new home. ... More

I can’t believe you have the audacity to ask me to review my experience when we closed the home 4 months ago and my property still NOT done. Starting from our New Home Orientation the house was barely put together without appliances, forcing us to close because your fiscal year was due un November, not caring about the buyer experience whatsoever, to constantly argue with the incompetent staff for the things we already paid for and them arranging contractors to come to our property without consulting with us, having to lost weeks of work just waiting for someone to show up. I still have missing doors, undone exterior, the temporary cheapest appliances, and many other things we literally had to pull teeth to get them fixed without the need because We thought you guys were the “#1 builder” in America. ...

This has been one of the worst home-buying experiences In which I have ever participated. Terrible, sub-par workmanship from especially the woodworkers, painters, And cabinet maker/installer.

Get it in writing or it is not true. Get contact info to Construction Manager as soon as you meet your sales person. Hire your own inspector period. Expect closing date to change at least twice. Get extended garage as their standard 2 car garage is smaller than other builders. Prepare for long battle. Over priced for quality you recieve. Not everything is included, not even the instructions or boxes devices come in. REGRET

I moved in my house and playing catch to fix it everyone is late or never show up I have to chase them around to fix everything there is so much that u forget so that way they tell you soon your out of the warranty
