Lennar Reviews in Denver, CO

Sales staff, construction manager and warranty rep have been great. Lennar Mortgage is the worst home finance company I've ever worked with...and I work in real estate so I've seen A LOT for comparison. Trust me, their incentive to use them isn't worth the hassle. The time I spent using them cost me hours I could have used to make 3x the dollar amount they offered via incentives. When they were "Eagle Home Mortgage" their service was top notch, that has drastically changed. Hands down, this was the most disorganized, apathetic and unprofessional team I have EVER had the displeasure of working with for such an important process. Even after we closed I was still receiving emails indicating we had paperwork to complete so the closing could be scheduled. Absolute garbage! ... More

Overall we're really happy with our new home. But there seems to be a huge rush to build as quickly as possible so there were problems initially that were difficult to resolve.

While the home is decent, it's important to remember you're not buying a custom home. You can ask for things, but the answer will always be no. The welcome meeting on purchase day was a horrible experience. We walked in on a red carpet, but it was just for show; it certainly wasn't followed through in words or actions. The beginning of the welcome meeting was the reps bombarding us with a list of don't do this and don't do that. There was no celebration or positive experience. The date of our closing was changed multiple times and wasn't always communicated to us, and the sales guy made promises that he had no authority to make. ... More

Sales team was good. Warranty personnel is good. Not overly happy with the craftsmanship with this builder. Not sure if it’s the contractors they use or accept but they fall short in this area. The repair contractors are even worse then the install contractors. Pretty frustrating experience so far in that area.

not many choices on finishes, appliances, just have to take packages that are offered

A lot of avoidable warranty work items.

Overall, we seem to have a sturdy, structurally sound house, which is the most important. But I have been surprised and disappointed by all the little fit and finish issues that I just didn’t expect to have. I don’t see any pride in the workmanship, in making sure everything was in excellent condition before we moved in. I love my house and would probably do it over again, it’s just sad that the finishing touches were so rushed and overlooked.

Shimming and shaving of interior walls poorly done. Walls bowing and bulging in several places. Many times we’ve been told the fix is worse than what you have. Concrete work poorly done. We finally got the driveway replaced but we still have cracks on front steps and sidewalks.

Considering the amount of money paid, the customer service in regards to warranty work has been awful! I feel like I get better service at drive thru window. Timeliness and communication from our rep Ryan is some of the worst I've ever had. When I asked for contact info for the supervisor, the request was ignored and it wasn't until I reached out to the sales office that I got that information. After a week and a half I have not had the supervisor Chris follow up with me on our conversation on a request that he said he would make with one of the trades. It appears that culture of the customer service team is that they don't care to communicate and that customer requests are a bother to them. Quite honestly why would they care? We've already bought the house and moved in so they have no motivation to keep a happy customer. What are we going to do, move!? I will say that Emily in the sales office and Pete with the construction were outstanding!! All-in-all, I would have had second thoughts about spending this kind of money and going into this neighborhood had I known how frustrating and unreliable the customer service would have been!! ...

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

There have been a decent amount of issues that we have had since moving in, especially with appliances. There are things we have noted around the home that are done cheaply for the price and size of the home.

Grant in the sales staff is great, very easy to work with and very communicative. Our move in experience was less than stellar, we had a 3 page list of stuff that needed to be fixed/replaced/addressed before we moved in in one week. 1/3rd of that list wasn’t completed and we were told it wasn’t a big deal. Every time we have had an issue, however, Chad has been immensely helpful and quick to respond and fix the issue. The quality of work leaves a lot to be desired; cuts around the back deck are sloppy, there is cement on the window in the basement, the sliding door in the basement seems to not slide on the track without a large amount of force, we have carpet nails sticking up around the door jambs and on the staircase that I’ve had to find by, you guessed it, stepping on them; just things that generally shouldn’t come up with a brand new house. Our yard has been a challenge as well, we asked for no rock to be laid down so we didn’t have to go through the hassle of removing it but they insisted it was required so now we have 15 ton of rock that we eventually need to move. Overall, we are happy we bought the house but wish the Lennar builders and planners t ... More

Poor quality craftsmanship on a lot of the interior features. The wood floor is a cheap quality and scratches or dents with no effort. Some of the cabinetry was poorly attached to begin with. We had a flood in our kitchen a month after moving in, because the dishwasher was improperly installed and now we need repairs to floor and cabinets. While we were well taken care of during the buying process by the sales team - we have been disenchanted with some of the response from Lennar's warranty and repair team. Thank God for a full year of warranty, because there's already a bunch of things that need to be repaired or replaced - none of which is by our error or cause. For a house that cost so much, it's mediocrity at best. ... More

Cracks everywhere, corners are super off and not even 80 degrees, doors are not close smoothly, carpet nails sticking out everywhere. Overall very cheap.

Homes are maid cheaply no quality workmanship and material. They just look pretty. Drive way, for a 4 car garage was designed poorly. Not even 2 cars can park next to each other on the drive way without getting too close to the house. Even though I paid 25k for landscaping in the backyard, I had no input how to make it just a rectangle patch of grass with no nice shape. Not all rooms have low voltage wiring which should be standard. Cheaper houses have been pre wired for cable and internet since 20 years ago. Overall, because of the mistake original salesman made in our case, it turned out to our favor and I think we got a better lot but all those issues remains. The standards Lennar has does not make sense. You guys say you don't do certain things and not customize to be on time but, let's say why can't customers have the say so in at least the color of the countertops? It's same material, same price just different color. 1.2, 1.3 million dollars is not a small amount and for that, I should have gotten a better house. Driveway is the main thing that I'd have to get rid of all those nice plants and replace them with concrete to make driveway match the house. Or using small loose rocks on the edge where it will scatter all over the siding. Who's designing all these? Bring me in and I'd do a better job. Very disappointed in Lennar but unfortunately, it's the house that family liked because of the openness and rooms that have bathrooms and walk-in closets. But, that's how I feel. You can change that by helping me at least correct the driveway at your own cost if you want a better review and recommendation from me. Also no walkway from house to street? Bad design. ... More

Don’t sit on completed homes.

Vivian our sales agent was great. We also loved our interactions with Lennar title. Our LO Kelsy was also helpful. We did have great experience with the front end super and the concierge position (new to us this time around). This is our second Lennar home and while our new home is beautiful we can definitely tell where the builder decided to cut back - we’ve had more issues with this home and have noticed a downgrade in quality work, options, and materials. This home was almost 200k more than the first and has lesser features, options, and quality. We also wish we had been told about the landfill being less than 5 miles from the community- the smell is sometimes unbearable and we didn’t even know to research something like that prior to buying - you don’t know what you don’t know. So, we do wish someone had been more transparent about that. Overall the lending experience was average this time around - we had some serious and very avoidable issues with the mortgage processor and UW team only days prior to closing - about something we had already asked about months ahead of time. And unfortunately our warranty rep, while friendly, is not super willing to help or be flexible (unlike our first experience). We’ve had some defects WE have had to cover - and we’ve only lived here two months. If we buy another house, we will definitely consider Lennar but this particular experience this time and the step down in quality has given us cause to weigh our options in comparison to other builders and the resale market. ...

Finishing the new home isn’t good. Lot of stains left behind

The buying experience went well. The issues we are having is post close follow up and quickly resolving our issues instead of making excuses of why not.

Overall we are very happy with our home and the community! The largest complaint we have is the workmanship. Attention to detail has been lost for sure. Landscaping and concrete work has been terrible and an ongoing headache. The money Lennar saved with low bid has cost us huge in time spent managing repairs, not to mention the work I have to go back and redo. Lennar, please start taking pride in your own product and ensure quality work is done ahead of time.

If you have nothing good to say.....say nothing......that says it all. I have nothing to say!

Lennar’s branding and sales (Sarah was great!) and the layout of my Davis home drew me in. Decent incentives before year’s end. I was impressed with the level of communication through the first months of build. Patrick, one of the construction managers, was super helpful. Once the timeline got closer things started a bit more chaotic. A major hail storm didn’t help. The last construction manager was very frustrating to work with - didn’t listen nor communicate well. Chris, head of construction, came thru in the end — listening well. This being my first new build, I was frustrated once getting into the home on the level of quality of certain things. Paint was a thin coat, cabinets were low level with poor finishing to name just a few. Attention to detail is something I had to stay on top of. Finishing touches for an almost $1m home were disappointing, frustrating. I’ve had to stay on top of the warranty process and push for things to be made right and not be afraid to speak up. First world problems, for sure, and it was an eye opening experience. Would I buy from Lennar again? I wouldn’t do a new build non-custom home again from any builder. There were diamonds in the rough tho and there’s a lot to be grateful for at the end of the day! ... More

The frame is decent although you need to watch them and stand up for yourself. Finishing work is ok. Trim is rough in spots, painting is ok if you like having paint on your carpet. They do clean it but I have never heard of the carpet and finishing going in before they do the painting.

Our experience was OK at most. Did not receive much of communication throughout the stages as we received on our last new build with another builder. A few things were promised, then changed in the end. The excuse was COVID. The lennar lender was horrible to work with. She said we were approved before signing the contract on the home and then did not receive any information until 3 months before closing letting us know that we were not approved and at the same day selling our current property. So we had to go with another lender in a hurry and received a higher interest rate because of it. After the home was completed. The quality of workmanship was not all that great as far as finish touches. Texture on drywall is patchy in many places that you can tell that the tradesman did it at the end and tried to hurry in order to close. There is also drywall mud and paint on areas of hardwood that we are still trying to get out. Not finished at 100 percent as we would have liked especially paying the price for it. Catherine was a big help. She was kind and understood the stress we had been going through. This superintendent was always there when we had questions and was a phone call away and still is pretty much until this day. Much appreciation to her. The rest of the process, for this being our second new build and we wanted to go with a bigger named company; I would give it a 4 out of 10. ... More

We are a second time buyer with Lennar. The quality of craftsmanship this time around is shockingly bad. The amount of items with have requested for repair is countless and while our representative does have people come out to address them, the folks coming to repair tell us they are not the right person and nothing gets fixed. The floors and stairs are creaky, every baseboard is damaged, our sink is scratched and damaged, there are huge stains in our concrete- it’s just bad craftsmanship.
