Lennar Reviews

Lennar is good builder. But, follow up is very poor. Roads are not done. Street lights are few and poor. The mail center is poor and a big trafgic hazrd. Betweem postal boxes and road there should be concrete. Now, it muddy grass The subdivision looks very poor unfinished roads. Please improve; Roads in the dub division Mail center Light in the streets Thanks.

We have been mostly pleased with the inside of the house but the outside is a mess... Sloppy workmanship and poor quality materials. We had siding boards peeling off of the house after the first month and have had to have the irrigation folks out four times to fix shoddy work.

Our experience was very satisfying. The only problem was with the suggested lender. They had us sending and resending info. Since I don’t have a fax, my charges at Office Max was $20-$30 each time. It became so frustrating that I ended up going with a different lender. A tip of mine would be definitely not go with the suggested lender. I later heard that we were not the only one with the lender problem. The agent Lynette that we dealt with was very helpful and answered all our questions.

Where do I start? first, there have been some large cracks in the basement floor. then, they installed used patio door. and the biggest mistake by the builder, they dropped my garage floor. this means that the floor had to be lowered so that the incline from the street would not be too steep. BUT by doing this, they had to add steps in the garage to enter the house. those steps took away parking space and now I can not fit my car on that side of the garage. therefore, I have a 2 car garage door but only 1 car fits inside. those are the biggest issues. some of the minor ones were, they missed several spots when painting, there was a big gap between the front door and the floor. some of the windows had to be replaced, some spots in the master bathroom were not caulked. the long panel window above the patio door had to be replaced because condensation was building INSIDE the 2 panes. also, had to replace 2 panels of the garage door because they had dents and holes. A 3rd panel should have been replaced because of the holes but instead, was given insulation tape to cover the holes. I didn't have any landscaping until 5 months after i closed on the house. I am still waiting for the patio door to be replaced. I have no idea what is going to happen with having a 1 car garage after paying lots of money for a 2 car garage. ... More

We really like the layout of our house, and have a beautiful kitchen. Some issues we do have with the home is due the quality of material and labor, for instance the paint chips/scratches too easily on the woodwork and walls. We have noticed a bit of careless trade work but we aren't sure if it is due to shortage of labor in the trades?

During the contract phase of the purchase we inquired about the HOA documents. They were sent to us and we signed the contract based on those documents. We went to closing with the understanding that we could build a fence based on the styles offered in the HOA documents and found out that we were given the wrong HOA documents. Lennar offered no recourse to this issue. Had we been given the correct information prior to signing a contract we would have chosen a different community. On the other hand; the development is beautiful and will be an asset to the community. We have been in our home for 4 months now and have enjoyed meeting the new neighbors and have discovered we weren't the only ones to have this experience. All - in - All we feel that Lennar had misled us. In short; know what you’re looking for and ensure it is delivered prior to a contract. ... More

good to work with real professional

Very pleased.

To no fault of our own we have a lien on our new home. We're not sure what's happening and have had a couple of different stories. We've been in the home 5 months and this issue is still not resolved.

The home buying process with lennar was great from day one. We have had a good experience and we are happy with the with the end product. Will highly recommend the company if you are looking to build a home.

Our Lennar home is well built. We love the floor plan and the upgrades they added.

The colors on the spec sheet are not what is actually in house. We tried to go get more paint and more mulch to match and it what we bought, per the spec sheet, is NOT what was actually used. The exterior and interior was visible dirty when we moved in to the brand new home. The toilet still doesn't work right and we had a service call out within hours of closing on the new home.

It's a really Great to do Business with.

We are very happy with our home. The delivery was a little bit difficult due to a cumulation of small issues due to different reasons. But the quality, responsiveness and kindness of Lennar service team allowed us to finally been very happy with our home for the price we have paid in a very nice neighborhood.

Like any other new home, we had issues inside the apartment with the floor and other finishings. However, Lennar showed responsibility and immediate assistance to resolve all of them. They also had a big delay in the completion and function of the elevator, which has also been resolved.

A few things to list 1) Paint contractors miss many spots and the exterior paint has weak spots where they spaced the spraying 2) Faucets in downstairs bedroom and master bedroom leak onto counter if left at a lower valve setting. Lennar stated that this was within spec. Having to buy faucets that actually are long enough to not flood bathrooms. Should not be buying things to fix Lennars issues. 3) Floors are starting to gap and flex quite a bit. Downstairs laminate floors. 4) Biggest issue: Front driveway was poured before a deep freeze in the winter. Contractor did not adequately cover the driveway (used plastic as opposed to a large insulated blanket) Driveway has been flaking away and dissolving due to improper pour. Have been working with Lennar for more than 4 months to resolve issue. I'm certain they will do nothing. ... More

For the most part everything was great. There was some questionable stuff about picking items out which we never had the opportunity to do we were just given one package for our house. Once we moved in the house there was a lot of things that went wrong from plumbing, to electrical, and our drain getting clogged. I don’t know if this is normal since this is my first home I have ever purchased, however it can be frustrating at times especially when trying to get it fixed.

I am very pleased with the new home so far everything has been good, no major issues at all.

I don't think I would buy a Lennar home again at this point. There are many things that they cut back on, that really cheapened the house. For instance, our engineered wood floors have had so many chips, and peeling issues that it feels like we have a standing appointment with the flooring company, and their fixes only last a little while. Our yard is a mess. It does not appear to drain correctly, so we have algae growing on our sidewalk. Chip, our project manager says he thinks everyone is watering too much. But that is not the case. Our grass is a swampland out front. We keep asking to have someone come out and check to see if the yard is graded correctly, but he says that is not the case. How does he really know? I have taken pictures of this if you want to see. We did not get to pick our interior items, but the carpet in the bedroom looks like it is already worn out after just 3 months. There is a "divot" in the middle that appears to be no padding under it. Chip thinks it just got worn down. We could go on, but why? when no one will contact us that is higher than Chip to have these issues looked at. Chip is amazing, but there is a limit to what he can do. But at least he tries. ... More

Quality is definitely subpar in a lot of areas. They mean well, but just seemed too stretched thin, making too many mistakes and unfulfilled promises.

Plenty of issues with quality of work that is not 100% overseen by construction mgr. Continue to have issues. Will not be staying in elm valley long, and next home will not be with lennar

I have reached out for assistance 3 times now and it has been over a month, with NO response from our Lennar Representative.

The quality of the home is subpar I have been in my residence for less than 6 months and I have already had to have major repairs to my HVAC unit and I am still looking for compensation from Lennar. The poor craftsmanship is a direct correlation to excessive billing.

Do not close on your home until everything is move in ready. Very inconvenient to try to schedule warranty items.

Never came out to put plug in sprinklers or replace dead shrubs from installing driveway.
