lennar Reviews

Post-ownership service has been great. Pre-ownership service was non-existent, therefore the low rating. The fact that we received one plat map that had been revised, but we weren't given a copy of the revision for over a month was cause for a law suit, which we elected not to do. They moved the foundation 4 feet which caused us to have to knock down a wall and move the a/c unit to bring equipment into the back yard for a pool build (at our expense). When asked before framing was completed, if the gate and a/c unit could be moved to the now "short side", we were told no. When asked if we could pay to have the garage insulated at the time of insulation, we were told no. There was no customer support prior to us taking ownership. As to quality? Painters need to be fired and who grouts in baseboards? ... More

Buying process was pretty smooth and sales staff was on point and very quick to respond. After closing, the construction and communication has gone down hill. Would strongly consider other builders on my next home purchase. Overall experience was a 6/10.

Would not recommend at all if you are a 1st time homeowner.

Punch list was not completed before we moved in.

Well, we had great expectation when we purchased this house but after so many problems we are pretty disappointed. House looks nice but the quality of the construction is bad. Cheep material and sloppy installation. / Off level floors, nails popping out, broken windows, shower floor accumulate water in corners, interior doors don’t close properly, they have big gap under, bathroom faucet is touching the backsplash so it is difficult to clean behind, landscaping is nice only around model home majority houses have lots of ornamental grass , playground is a joke - beach volleyball court instead of baseball or tennis courts that could be use all year around not just during 2 summer months, no slides or swings for kids just some kind of rope construction,…/ When we moved in our house needed lots of repairs and I thing that there are more problems to be discovered in the future. ...

Leslie the building consultant was the best part of the experience. Everyone else in the company is questionable.

Get everything in writing. Don’t trust your sales person as they are not always told what the corporate decisions are and seem to be the last to know.

Very poor workmanship, we felt some of the contractors did not take pride in their work (ceiling with flat spots, tape joints visible, paint on carpet, crooked walls, door trim that doesn't align, all trim nail holes are very visible, crooked fireplace stones, and more. There are multiple issues that need to be fixed, replaced or redone. Also poor communication between sales team and us, were told different closing date and pushed out two months.

Too many repairs or replacements, work was done poorly during building of house.

Lennar mortgage took Forever!!!but maybe the pandemic played a part in it

contractors doing the work were terrible. way too many things needed to be fixed after closing

I feel like the materials were cheap. Like the paint. It’s horrible. It stains super easy and when you try to clean it up, the whole paint comes off the wall. The washer and dryer are so basic that the washer makes a very loud noise while washing and the dryer leaves all the lint in the clothes. When you put in a ticket for something to be looked at, they take weeks and weeks to respond and then you have to wait again weeks to have someone come out.

Slow responsiveness, challenging process to get issues resolved

Make sure you have a Realtor BEFORE visiting model homes!!

The sales agent Tina is great! Tom the customer care specialist is responsive and helpful. Well, my closing was pushed out several times and lennar wanted me to pay to lock my rate in which I thought wasn't very cool since they were the ones that kept pushing my date out. Secondly, Once I do get into my home the Furnance wasn't working, which Tom addressed quickly, however as the weather warmed I find my AC isn't working to which I submitted a ticket through the lennar portal, but all I've heard so far is crickets. Certain little shortcuts that I notice after the final walk through, once I got moved in, kind of show a lack of quality, but hey I guess you get what you pay for. Wait, not really! ... More

Quality of materials and workmanship is subpar. There seems little quality control at all stages of the building process. The subcontractors did a poor job and no one called them on it or made them fix it before closing. The closing punch list disappeared after closing day. For example…..Driveway (cement) is two toned because they cracked it and just patched it. Our walkway (cement) is all spotted because they poured it in heavy rain. Now Lennar says it’s not under warranty immediately after closing. We ran two months behind schedule. That is consistent throughout our neighborhood. Other builders in the neighborhood did not have these issues. The lack of choices is frustrating and Lennar’s favorite word is NO. It appears Lennar can not provide what a customer really wants at this $800k-1 million dollar price point. Or meet customers quality expectations at this price point. They’re just taking advantage of a strong sellers market in our area. They’re idea is “take it or leave it” because we can sell it to someone else. ... More

Fridge didn’t work, washer and dryer had to be fixed, the stove top fan was broken! There was so many issues it was crazy

While Lennar may be fairly easy to work with to resolve problems, I feel there shouldn't be as many as I've encountered. Unfortunately I bought rather late in this community and it seems as though the builders were in a rush to get done. This shows in some of the sloppy work that was done and things that were caught in the final walkthrough. Some of these weren't corrected before closing and some seem to have fallen off that list altogether. Now I'll have to deal with them under the warranty.

If you want a quick build with tons of issues and half butt work? Go with Lennar! Fit and finish is embarrassingly bad. Having Lennar fix the grout in the master because the workers stained it with moody shoes. At first they weren’t going to fix but thank God for the amazing people in warrenty. That’s about all that’s good with Lennar is their warranty department. Guess they needed a good one with all the issues they have. Walls aren’t straight, base boards are wavy and/or chipped with paint just put over top, paint everywhere on everything. Looks like a Jackson Pollock painting until I had to clean it. Floors can’t let water stand because the seams will swell (cheap), interior doors are all splitting on the sides, appliances...guess what? Cheap as cheap gets. Had to have them come blow more insulation above a 2nd floor room because it literally had none! Framing lumber used is #2 lumber (cheap). I would ask the builder questions as to why the rafters were crooked, he would literally shrug his shoulders and not respond. Weird response from the guy who’s building my home possibly? 0/10 would not buy again or recommend. I will be moving out of this house before 10 years because I know this house will have structural issues. First big hurricane we get, house may not be here. Take some pride in your work Lennar! If you do the right thing the first time you won’t have to come fix the errors. Again probably why they have good warranty department. ... More

The Carpet in my master bedroom has paint stains on it and is very dirty from all the construction workers. Lennar should have it professionally cleaned, after all I bought a brand new condo with a brand new carpet, it should look like one, and it doesn't ! I feel cheated !

The way the house is built, you’d think you were getting a $150k home but it costs you $300k+. Unfortunately the people doing the work do not care about their quality of work and unfortunately the Managers who are supposed to oversee the work are either not here or don’t have the experience to understand what’s wrong. We didn’t know the questions to ask but now that we know, we wouldn’t build with this builder again.

The buying experience with the realter and loan officers was by far the best. After that, the issues we continue to notice....workmanship is horrible.

Disappointed in grade of materials including Quality Control & Quality Assurance during the construction phase.

Build quality of the home is fine, and dealing with the local Lennar employees is very good and they work very hard to make it a good experience. Policies directed down from corporate are based on what is best for corporate and for the experience of the home buyer.

Disappointed in end quality and finish materials…
