Del Webb Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Disappointed. iamenities offered under false pretenses. would not recommend a del Webb home to anyone.

Construction Manager has been very dependable and seems to always find a solution to whatever problem is presented.

Would not recommend to my friends and family.

Mediocre for these reasons. Here are some of many after move in. Floors, counters filthy on move in and was promised it would be cleaned during walkthrough. Leaking plumbing after day one. After a month they still have not cleaned all the paint splatter and epoxy globs they left on tile floor. Cracked tile, glass scratches, missing outlet covers, sink drain stoppers not working, obviously out of line can lights… Here is the low down. DelWebb/Pulte is a production builder. They claim quality but supervisors do not do quality control so you are depending on quality sub-contractors they use. Then you are responsible for identifying problems, which will be many, scheduling the subs, burning a lot of your own time to make things right that should have been taken care of by DelWebb/Pulte. They bank on you not identifying problems and heard many stories of extremely difficult subs from neighbors. They try to wear you down. I highly recommend getting a professional home inspection in first week of move in. Inspector found some serious problems with my roof and other structural stuff I would not have found myself. Just don’t expect the level of quality they claim. It’s average quality and you will have to burn your own time to make things right. ... More

Very dirty home. Absolutely no care taken in delivering a clean home. Silicone and stains on tile floors. Carpets were extremely loaded with dust and saw dust.

Don’t want to say

We have a list of issues that I first officially reported on June 21, 2023, that have still not been addressed two weeks after my initial email. I called the sales office because no one was answering the Customer Service line, they said to just wait a few days. It appears to me once you give a satisfactory survey on the initial walk through that all support is gone. I have power breakers that trip constantly, and two full rooms are on one 15 amp breaker (seriously, even I know that will not work). After two weeks of trying to get help I finally got a hold of someone by phone who says it takes a week to get electrical help, I hope there is not a fire, I think this house was miss-wired. Even the power panel labels confirm that. Cabinets drawers don't close all the way, I have cabinet paint issues that you can only see from the dining room (too bad, Customer services says, you have catch paint issue during the walk through). The kitchen air vent looks like it was purchased from Goodwill, with obvious deep scratches. The trash can drawer is so hard to open, a 5 yr old couldn't open it. There's not even a toilet paper holder in guest bathroom and I reported that on June 6th. We are now a full month with toilet paper sitting on the floor. Where is the attention to detail, where is the respect for the customer? The outside air filter was never installed, they just threw it in with the other filters because it did not fit the filter holder, I know I tried. This outside dust left the inside air filters covered in dust and our A/C air ducts are covered in dust to the point you can see it with a flashlight. Customer service says filters are not their problem, I explained that the filter does not fit and was never installed. Still, they don't care, filters are not their problem, they don’t do filters. The floors were so dirty with dust, I had to mop the whole house twice just to not have dirty socks while walking around the house. We mop all the time because dirty outside air is blowing through our house. And finally, the air conditioner, the unit in the attic sounds like an airplane landing, you can hear it over the TV, it is so annoying. But noise is not an issue that can be fixed says customer service, only failure. So, are they saying that we have to live with noise? I could go on, but it all comes down to attention to detail and respect for the customer. This is the second new home that I have purchased and I'm massively disappointed in Pulte's product. I have already begun asking the neighbors what they think and I get the same answer from everyone, “Pulte does not pay attention to detail.” Maybe that’s just this area, but I’m not impressed, I can’t wait to sell this home and my landscaping is not in yet. ...

We knew post pandemic that building a new home in Arizona was going to be a challenge. It was worse than anticipated. We decided to take a chance and pay the inflated price for the house and the “upgrades”. A 9 month build turned into 15 months. The quality during the build was average, too many things to list. The finish quality is average at best, poor drywall, texture and very poor interior and exterior paint.

Interior doors, handles, windows, bath & kitchen fixtures, interior paint for a base plan are lowest quality and would predict would have to replaced after warranty. You are not really given options to choose interior paint beside color. The stage management system is frustrating. There should be a point person from start of build until the first year after closing. At each stage it seemed the home buyer was starting over.

The home was very dirty upon moving in! And we were told it was a construction clean, your cleaning crews need a lot of help! Also not very good at getting back to handle issue.

Decent house for the cost but workmanship was average or below. Interior painting was terrible. The quality of paint and application was rough. Sloppy exterior work and cement stains were all over the pavers. Repeated calls to our construction supervisor were basically ignored or excuses were made with no action. From the beginning, our salesman was attentive, but after we paid in full he went silent with very little communication as to our concerns over details.

Our home was 3 months delayed from when the closing was initially scheduled. Overall, we are pleased with our home. There are several things that need repaired and completed. The process to get these things done is extremely slow. We’ve been trying for two months now and nothing has been done. Some of the finish work is questionable. You can tell that the sub-contractors are in a hurry and make lots of mistakes. I’ve counted over 50 drywall mistakes throughout our home. Many missed painting spots and paint on floors, cabinets, trim, etc. The baseboards have several installation issues as well.

When problems became more obvious after closing the response from the customer service group is non-existent. My front porch floods and has standing water on it for days after a rain or when trying to wash off dust. I first put in a ticket at the end of March and 3 times since then and still no response. My garage trim is pulling away from stucco and no response. I can now put my entire hand behind it. I am now hiring an inspector who supposedly has good luck getting Pulte to respond to his lists. More small problems coming up but it is too frustrating to deal with the paperwork so will let the inspection service deal with it. After owning a Del Webb home 26 years in Las Vegas I am very disappointed with the lack of customer service here ... More

Feels more like my entry level home buying experience. Not the same as the Pulte build I had a few years ago in Las Vegas

I enjoyed working with the Pulte team to purchase our new home. Once we were in and looked around closely, I was disappointed to find things like the paint quality and some of the fixtures were not very good at all. I wish the builder would have used much less water in the paint and upgraded things like the water connects for the sinks and toilets, as well as the towel racks and toilet paper holders.

I signed with lots of outstanding issues, but didn't want interest rates to increase. Issues include lack of electricity to appliances, holes in walls, doors not closing or locking, etc. The list is 20+ items long.

My new home and my experience has been good, but I am one of the lucky ones. Other homeowners on my block and in my area are having nightmare types of issues due to the poor craftsmanship of the trades used to build these homes. Drywall issues. improper countertop installation. damaged cabinets. Poor tile installation. And mostly poor response from the manufacture.

The sales process was great, and we were kept in the loop during the build. The closing date came unexpectedly as I was told we would be closing much later in the month. The house was not ready for the walkthrough. Doors were still being hung and the house was not finished for our inspection. We're 6 weeks post-closing and 4 weeks after moving in. Customer Care is just now starting to address our issues.

very poor repair service wont return calls

Delays.. blaming COVID still. Always using the phase this is not a custom home.. great I get that but this is an expensive home that should have quality cabinetry.. Pulte choose the LOW end on the cabinets and it shows.. biggest complaint is with oak craft cabinets.. and the grout used in showers not matching.. where should you spend you money in the kitchen and bath!! Why cut cost there only to have to come back and fix it.. why not do it proper the first time.. I believe you should stop selling homes and fix the existing properties you have on the books. It would go along In customer care

Many issues will left unresolved I truly feel the home is not finished

After our purchase and final walk through we found some issues we didn't see during the final walk through. Our bad, I admit. But when they are clearly the result of poor workmanship/installation/attention to detail, they should still be corrected. All we got was "you should of noticed it during your walk through"

It was very hard to get timelines, status of close date, status of our home, why homes bought after ours were closing weeks before us, etc from project managers. Difficult when we had three project managers. Lack of response when work orders submitted for problems with the house. Final home will be beautiful, when problems resolved. Floor plan is perfect for us.

Overall the quality of the new home is average, which is better than expected considering the shortages of materials and labor. But there was, and continues to be, no communication both during and after the build process. I would not go through the new home purchase process again.

I had expected a much better quality home from Pulte and was disappointed in the quality issues found upon move in.
