Lennar Reviews

Mediocre at best.

Seems the subs are very questionable. I have seen 4 homes in addition to mine that had major plumbing problems, including flooding and having to replace flooring. The plumbing contractor must be a very cheap company because the quality is not there. I worry what will happen in 1-5 years based on the issues I have seen so far. Also, landscape work has been awful and they put down dead grass and don't bother to replace it. All they care about is covering the ground. Not how it looks or fills in.

My review is still incomplete at this time. The quality of the driveway is completely unacceptable and is the reason for my low rating on quality of workmanship. The driveway was poured at 26 degrees on November 13th and I believe that it froze before concrete had cured to achieve a necessary strength. Overall we had a mild fall and there numerous days the concrete could have been poured at a much warmer temperature. It has numerous cracks, chips, pock marks, smears and is very off colored. No other driveway in the neighborhood has an appearance that is even close to my driveway. I currently have a work order submitted for the driveway and am waiting to hear what the next steps are. If the driveway is replaced I would definitely change my rating as the quality for the rest of the house appears to be generally quite good. ... More

While we are happy with the house and community, the promises made were not kept. We were told that things that are standard (Everything Included) were actually things that we would have to pay.

The quality of the workmanship was subpar. Some issues are too large to be resolved, like drywall texture on most walls of the house. Overall lower quality product.

Average Quality of workmanship & materials. Average responsiveness to issues. Construction quality not up to the mark.

Some departments are faster to act and reply than others. We had a very large issue with fibre cable connection below ground that took over a month to resolve resulting in losing several bookings.

I should've spent more time looking at details, like door bell, roof gutters, and garage outside lights. Little things that make a home more beautiful. Staff was great though.

My wife and I were looking for a quick move in the North East area and found an inventory home that met mostly all of our needs. In general, we are pleased with the home - there are a few areas of the home that look like they were an after thought in terms of quality of workmanship. The previous home we owned was a Ryland, and we never had issues with workmanship/cosmetic fixes. We've only been in our new home a few months and they are plenty workmanship issues that we are not happy with. For the price we paid, there shouldn't be as many small issues as we have been finding (sloppy Job with trimming, paint, calking, etc). We did however have a great experience with the Lennar sales team walking us through that process. As for the final walk through and first 30 day time period, there were some hiccups but there was always an effort made to correct or make up for those hiccups. ... More

We love our home but the painting, caulking, grouting and finishing is done very poorly. You would expect more skilled workers to be part of a home that’s valued at over a half million dollars. We’ve been trying to get attention for it for a few months. Will hope for resolution once the COVID mania is over. The quality of fixtures (shower heads, lighting, fans) are more reflective of homes in the $400k range so Lennar has surely skimped on these things. That will be an additional project we’ll need to take on ourselves. The warranty team is great though; it’s just unfortunate how many things we’ve had to request corrections on in a short span of time. Happy to update my review once Lennar gets our concerns addressed. ... More

The sales representative has been great, responsive and helpful. The contractor materials were good but his QA/QC was poor. Too many punch list items and issues that are still not resolved. He continues to construct new houses and puts off punch list work 4 months after closing. I did not want to close with some of these issues outstanding but "the builder" insisted and had the upper hand based on the contract. The rating is lowered due to contractor QA/QC and responsiveness.

I should get reimbursed the $125 that I paid to get doors shaved off from the bottom. I was told that they will not do it. Then was told that they would after I paid for it.

I purchased a new construction D. R. Horton property in June 2018. I decided to upgrade to a larger home and purchased a Lennar home in November 2019. The longer I live in the Lennar home I realized D. R. Horton is a better quality builder. The Lennar quality is just not there. The drywall is so thin you can't hang a lightweight picture without reinforcement. The wood flooring has several chips in places my family and I could not have damaged it. For example behind the toilet in the half bath. The ceiling still shows major flaws, corners of walls, not really corners have curves. The lawn is ridiculously rocky and literally have trash under the glass. I believe the yard should have at least been clean before laying sod. Those are the major issue, There are another dozen or so minor issues. I must say these issues are not the fault of the employees I worked with directly, they were absolutely great. ... More

I found the work done by the trade partners was sloppy and not done with any care.

Overall good value for money spent

Lennar is aggressive to make the sale happen, much slower to respond to warranty requests.

While I more than understand deadlines, milestones and budgets, I find it hard to believe that some things were just overlooked. Im not convinced that there were quality checks made to confirm whether or not a job was done right let alone completed before being signed off on. I have floor planks that are obviously not level, trim cut too long or short, rug already not laying flat (I barely have furniture), The more time I spend at home, the more I notice things that were missed or carelessly completed. Definitely tainted my brand new home buying experience. To top it all off, issues with the actual community have been turned over to a HOA that is unresponsive, unclear and definitely not present. ... More

Will need to evaluate service further when I fully move in and occupy the home.

Not a terrible experience overall. Workmanship is so so, but they are pretty responsive to any issues that come up. Working with their Financing company is terrible so if you can get your own financing I would highly recommend that

We really do love our house and our home buying experience was good. We enjoyed working with Paul. Unfortunately, we just found out that they are building traditional homes with vinyl siding directly next to us. It doesn't appear to be cohesive with the rest of the neighborhood and we feel it will impact our home value negatively. We purchased in this neighborhood based on the current style of homes (Charleston style with hardie plank). We did not want to live in a traditional neighborhood. We would not have purchased this home if we had known. Incredibly disappointed.

When things needed fixing, it took a long time to do it correctly

Be careful with documents closing one, I like the online process

Quality of construction is poor.

We ended up with an issue that is unique. Things were done to code (from what we know), but it was NOT enough in our case. Our house does not have enough prevention from air pushing into the walls so we had already ended up dealing with a disaster. We will have to resolve it using out own money.

seems that contractors built this house in a rushed manner. every week we find details of things were not properly done
