Lennar Reviews in Houston, TX

There really doesn’t seem to be quality control. The contractors review their own work and the construction managers take them at their word until the perspective owner comes and looks at the work. The toilet wasn’t level, the stairs were out of plumb, a few walls weren’t square, and they missed the electrical outlet needed on the island, the decking where the AC unit was installed wasn’t not level and the AC unit was installed anyway. The AC unit was installed anyway and actually was missing a recirculating valve. This cause the unit to sweat immensely and water to run off into the insulation and back of the sheet rock. There were other small issues like paint missing, trim was missing or poorly installed. ... More

Level of quality is much lower than what I feel the value of what I paid.

I purchased my home 2 months ago and I fell in love but there were steps taken to make sure I would continue being happy in the home and those were not completed. Walkthrough items never touched and ignored and here we are 2 months later and I can not even operate master bedroom blinds from a walkthrough item unacceptable I work hard to make sure I could afford a nice new home.

No keys day of closing had to wait 5 days later to get keys and move in still no mailbox need some touch up no lites in backyard

Their inability to give us a choice in many things in our home. From interior paint color, to external brick, the choice was made for us. Never in my experience of buying a home did the sales guy have to say, "I'm sorry, no" so many times. If it weren't that Lennar had the floor plan we wanted (Next Gen home) we would have built with someone else.

Lennars goal is to close business and there is so much room for improvement. I told my sales guy I could not meet at a certain date since I locked in the house. I never meet with customer service, I was sent another builder supervisor instead. When we spent TWICE time to call out cosmetic things that needed to be repaired, only a very few were taken care of and the rest... well they just peeled off the orange stickers. Most of the paint jobs are leaky and full of paint buggers. Love the location, and the size of the land, but I would need to see lots of improvement before buying another home by this builder. ...

It’s bad experience, 1- everything was delayed 2- they charged a lot of selections we made for our house 3- purchase experience was bad customer service not was on time and we didn’t get to take picture with the first home keys,

We are enjoying our new home and neighborhood and did have some positive experiences with Lennar. However, since we moved in 3 months ago we have noticed some problems with the workmanship. The paint job was especially sloppy. We also had problems with the Lennar Title Company giving us incorrect information at closing, and they would not respond to our emails requesting assistance concerning this incorrect information. These are some of the reasons that our overall rating is just average.

I love my home but it has so many little things there were some issues to he fixed after my last walkthrough that just weren’t fixed. I submitted the warranty since they said thats how I had to claim them. They’re parts of the inside of my home that isn’t painted. The outside of my home paint was peeling and was supposed to be fixed that was just never taken care of. They promised me some stuff that they didn’t make it happen. It’s the little things that add up.

My wife and I were excited to be moving into our brand new home. Once we moved in that excitement changed fast. We started to notice things we didn’t notice in the walkthrough. Baseboards not being caulked, paint on the floor and all over the baseboards. Glue from the floor coming up everywhere. The floor was put together badly. The carpet was just thrown down. Never swept before laying the carpet. There are many more things. I would not recommend lennar

The quality of work would’ve gotten 5 stars if my flooring wasn’t awful. We had our final walk thru/move in on March 30 2021 and when doing the final walk thru everyone agreed the flooring was horrible. We marked it with tape and were guaranteed they would take care of this for us that same week. I even took 2 weeks PTO so I could be home and not delay the work… It’s been 4 months and my flooring has only gotten worst and we still have areas with tape that were never fixed. I’ve requested service numerous times only to have a Lennar Rep either do a virtual call and agree the work is bad or have someone come out to take pictures of my floor. They’ve came out about 4 different times only to tell me “I will take pictures and open a case for you.” This is ridiculous, at this point I feel you guys are avoiding the situation until the warranty is over. Which is what happen with the plants, the day of the final walk thru Lennar Rep. agreed the plants weren’t the best and verbally agreed to have landscaping come and replace the ugly plants ya gave us with nicer looking plants. (We are the only house with these hideous plants) But as soon as we signed and I called the very next day to get something scheduled ya turned me down saying we can’t do anything about them. Which is just wrong considering I had the Lennar Customer Service Rep & Construction Manager both on site telling me it would be taken care of that same week. The only other issue I have was the loan estimates were terribly off. The first estimate I received said we would be paying approx. $1600 monthly then I got one saying $1800 monthly and the final real deal closing ended up at $2300 monthly that’s a 43% increase from the original estimate. ...

Since moving into my home , there’s been some concerns that occurred from what I believe to be a rushed job and therefore affected the quality of the house

We were pretty disappointed in the quality, were told things would happen that didn’t, and still have issues that haven’t been resolved that we requested 4 months ago...

Overall the sell representatives are really nice and very professional but unfortunately I can't say anything good on the construction side . The supervisor doesn't commit to his roll on supervising his construction manager. The construction manager really need a better training when it comes to delivering the quality products that Lennar offers.Construction managers all they want is not make you sing off on there release to close title and don't care about the quality always very denial on everything we point out that need to be fix. So my advise to all new buyers is make sure they listen and don't sing any documents until they actually fix everything that is incorrect install . They lie don't trust them because once you sing there release they will send you straight to warranty team and ignore not do what they promised fix. BE CAREFUL. ... More

Lennar could benefit if they had more employees like Bonita. My questions were always answered and if Bonita didn't know the answer she would let me know she would find out and get back to me. She always follow through. I always felt like I was pulling teeth with Mary Jo and therefore Bonita was like my lifeline. I have referred a couple of friends but, I also told them about the response or lack of good response from Mary Jo.

Dealing with our sales person Jenna was good. Dealing with the QC person Lauren, bad experience, unprofessional and couldn’t care less. Dealing with construction manager Brian, wasted time, bad experience. Dealing with Lennar Mortgage Shana /Kara, worst experience, poor communication, unprofessional. Dealing with Lennar Title Hayley and team, good experience. Dealing with repair team / warranty / repair request, total failure. Love the location, love the house. The Lennar experience, would not do it again.

From the beginning I said I did not wish to do things electronically but was forced into it. Then I was told after everything was done I being transfered to another mortgage company without any reason or notification. Bad communication on getting back to fix issues. This refrigerator is faulty it keeps beeping when I heard the beeps when looking at the house before buying I thought It was a security alarm on the house. I've been calling in about it but getting no one to get back with me on the issue then on left side of house there looks to be a problem with the bricks. I need the correct number for the warranty company to look into these problems. Thanks if you can help I'd appreciate it. ... More

I had high expectations when buying from lennar been looking to buy lennar since 2019 i have seen multiple lennar south and west texas neighborhoods but when it came to buying our first home this year 2024 I was very disappointed in lennar, when we went through our inspection walk, our inspector Abdul was great and he helped us find a lot of issues and mistakes with the home, we felt very confident in him that these issues were gonna get resolved. There was damage to the kitchen cabinets, trim that was bulging around the island, doors not properly latching, missing touch ups on the paint and the grass was not evenly laid out. There were many gaps in the grass and some boards on the fence were also missing nails. The driveway and patio concrete was dirty in the back yard. I'm not sure how they prepare the home for move in but our flooring came with scratches and was filthy when we moved in. When we met the construction manager Marcus M., he assured us that everything was going to get fixed and there was no need to have a secondary walk through which we trusted but turned out to be a huge lie and mistake of our part because when we moved into our home none of the items were fixed. I believe that these homes were rushed to built just so that there could be inventory homes to sell. I'm not sure if there is even inspection of the framing and foundation. For the quality of the home, I feel like we overpaid. If anyone is looking to buy a lennar home, I highly recommend you get your own inspector to inspect the building process prior to move in. ...

Cm was amazing, loan process was amazing. Once youre locked in that’s it! So many things done cheaply, I’d rather pay a few extra thousand and have the quality! First and last time purchasing from Lennar.

From the beginning of the move in I have had problems with warranty work. The painting, the concrete, the garage door, the plants, the fence and backyard gate, the texturing on the walls, the plumbing and washing machine drain hose not secure so when we began washing clothes and went for a walk for 30 minutes only to return water was all over the first floor. I had several items get water damage and the urgency to come out and help is not there. The sewage pipe was broken causing water to backup in the master shower almost causing a flood. Took two days for the plumbers to come out to fix pipe in front yard. I am not very happy with the Lennar home buying experience. It appears the contractors work on quantity rather quality. The customer care rep that has been a big help is Ruby. I never expected a brand new home to have so many problems. When I had requested the garage door to be fixed with the problems it had I wasted two days of taking off work for the technician to call me 30 minutes before 6pm to say I was his last stop and he was going to be late and didn’t know why they assigned him my house. I expected a lot more from Lennar with their customer service warranty assistance. They don’t work on the weekends and only work through texting. Needless to say overall we are disappointed with the problems and how long it takes to get someone out to fix issues. It has been a major inconvenience to take off from work having to wait for technicians come out and usually run late. If I knew what I know now I would not have purchased from Lennar or recommended my sister in law to buy Lennar in the same neighborhood. Very disappointing. ... More

Lots of repairs needed before and after closing and it took long time to respond to or repair. Flooring installation is poorly made and the front door peephole is made to accommodate a 6+ foot tall person to see from. When asked yo lower for safety was told NO can do.

I have bought 3 houses with Lennar so far, but I am done with them and not going to buy and will discourage new buyers

I was told I was getting a $1000 Visa card. At closing, I was told NO Visa card. I called the sales guy and said he will get me a washer and dryer. It's been almost 2 months and no washer and dryer. I have built 3 homes - this was my worst experience.

workmanship is awful. the home was not buil to to the specs given to me at purchase. no crown molding- no gutters as stated in the spec sheet
