Del Webb Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Field manager does not follow up and little to no communication Finish work ie trim and drywall finishes poor.

Some past warranty defects were reported. Response time in correcting some of these defects seemed unreasonable. Still awaiting repair of unfastened Garage Door Hinge.

Spent all morning for no show repairs or someone else’s fault? Multiple calls to schedule repairs then not a single issue resolved. Pics of repairs not even my house as I submitted. Sent wrong service people, no show on others. Stucco although scheduled won’t repair for a year.

Poor workmanship, bad communication, after closing they are non-existent. Would not recommend Pulte as a builder.

After signing the contract and giving down payment to Del Webb there was very little communication from them. Now that we are closed and moved in it isn’t any better. We have been in the house for almost 6 weeks and haven’t been able to get anything done yet going through our warranty person for a leaking roof. We have some other warranty issues that have not been addressed yet either.

Our sales person was good to work with, knowledgeable and detailed. Construction of the home was slow, it took just over 1 year to complete. Our construction Superintendent was attentive during the build, however, Anthony has become non existent post build. The same can be said for his manager Ron. Text and emails are not answered, very unprofessional! At the suggestion of other residents of our community, we had our home professionally inspected within 30 days of moving in. To my slight surprise there are numerous defects including roof, hvac and windows/patio door. Build quality is definitely not what I consider workmanlike across the trades who built our home. In defense of Pulte, this is a sign of the times we all live in since Covid arrived. Not enough workers which results in unskilled labor working in a “ hurry up” get the job done situation. This is just my opinion of course. In our case the home has too many repair needs and should have been inspected pre-closing, and defective issues corrected. My hope is that Pulte’s warranty division is better than the build division. I do not consider myself a “whiner”, I just call em like I see em. ... More

We felt rushed thru walk thru, we are having to completely redo baseboards as they did not wipe down before painting!! We invested in nicer taller baseboards with pulte, they were completely trashed!! The glass doors going into office are completely scratched on both doors, glass completely scratched!! Overall the finishing work is very poor! We mentioned to CM and the person who come in only made them worst! The outdoor light doesn’t work! After you do walk thru, they ignore you!! We’ve made several calls to number given and they don’t return your calls! Before we bought here we heard horror stories l, we just thought they were problem people, we now know not true! Very unhappy!!! ... More

The carftmenship on this home is terrible. the builder went as cheap as is could and stay in codei

Pulte mortgage procrastinated in locking in my rate for two months resulting in the interest rate jumping .625 percent, costing me over $400 a month.

Way too many issues with the work that was done. I think the time it takes to get things fixed is apart of their overall plan. Put your life on hold waiting for things to get fixed hoping you will fix them yourself. There seems to be no priority to make things right. Their preferred pool provider is as bad a Pulte homes with excuses for everything. The pool was dug in October and we still just have hole in the ground with plumbing and electrical complete. This is our third Pulte home and has been the worst experience.

Buyers beware about customer service after closing, I am still waiting for my cracked in owner suit bathroom mirror that need it to be replaced since March 3,2021 till today, May 25 it has been one very frustrated dealing. Many calls with no returned call from them. No Show couple of times and yet no one seems to care about it, you have no recourse and no one helping you to solve it including my field manager ignore my called, the RESPONSIVENESS TO ISSUES is NONE EXISTENCE

Communication was bad. Lots of finger pointing and certain departments would not return calls Construction manager was thorough and responsive

Your initial survey was requested within 24 hours and provided no time to observe all of the workmanship deficiencies therefore all of the necessary corrections are not yet identified.

the work was done by non speaking English so they couldn't read all my change orders so I,can't give a good rating on work man's hip way too many major mistakes!!

I have several items that are not working in the home at time of purchase. At closing day our Construction point person was quick to get signatures vs. letting us have a few days to move in and really review. I have submitted tickets and response to this point is slow at best.

Closed on home middle of January ,had to close per contract.House was not finished ,it is the end of March still waiting on multiple items to be done.If a home is not ready should not close.Our money is tied up and the house is not finished.

Roof tiles not mortered down, foam showing in roof eve, needs stucco, roof dryer vent installed wrong, walls in house not straight. Baseboards not straight,bath cabinet installed wrong, shelves will not stay in place, caulk not finished in bathroom and kitchen, floor outlet missing screws, some kitchen cabinets are warped, overspray on cement patio, window caulk missing, patio screen door does not slide properly, dishwasher installed improper crooked, installer just cut off one mounting bracket, too much to list all

Sales experience felt dishonest. The homesite we chose and even offered to put money down on and was promised was ours. (once it was released into inventory) Was sold a week later to someone else knowing that we had already committed to it. The explanation we were given was "My manager screwed up." Since then we spoke to the people who bought our lot and they shared with us that their sales women told them that they better make up their mind quickly, because she knew someone else wanted the lot and that they were going to have new neighbors who were upset at them for buying their lot. So you be the judge, honest or dishonest. That is how we started our Journey with Pulte. ... More

Lots of issues with the home found in the first month! Still waiting for repairs. Closed late. Overall, not happy!

Have not recieved gas cooking stove I bought with house packege( 2 months and waiting) make calls no response. Want my stove I paid for. Cart garage door was installed wrong, does not fully open. Lack of fix to problem or communication about the problem as in situation is being ignored.follow thru after closing is terrible

Expecting a buyer to see every flaw or issue with items needing to be fixed in a walk through just before receiving keys is ludicrous. Was told a 2 inch scratch in glass shower door was out of warranty because I had not noted it on last walk through is ridiculous. It is noted that there is at least a year warranty on materials. Why is the glass not included? Have to wonder how many other problems that are discovered as time goes by will be brushed aside with a similar response. There needs to be another meeting 30 days after close of escrow to address new found issues as well as one after one year. There does not appear to be any attempt to keep at least a somewhat clean and tidy appearance of the neighborhood while the remainder of homes are in various stages of completion. ... More

Unfortunately, I don’t have much good to say. The frustration experienced with expecting a quality build and getting less than that is terrible, especially when it’s next to impossible to get anything taken care of after closing. Response time, or rather lack of response is so unprofessional, and as a new homeowner who was assured I would be taken care of, quite more than disappointing. It’s like things were slapped together by trades last minute to get to closing and now that’s all being exposed and no one wants to claim responsibility or take care of anything. I am extremely disappointed and upset by this, and would not recommend building with Pulte. ... More

I'm going to put my comments into context of purchasing and building home during an extremely challenging time of Covid, supply chain issues and labor shortages. Our home took exactly one year to construct. Pre-Covid homes were built within 5-7 months. With that said, we were surprised at the lack of quality of materials and craftsmanship for a home in our price range. The attention to detail was lacking, simple mistakes would not have been corrected unless we brought it to the attention of Pulte and the quality of materials was well below our expectations. In particular, the cabinetry was far below standards we enjoyed in the Midwest homes we have built and lived in throughout the decades. Pulte needs to completely rethink its approach to the quality of cabinetry they put into these homes. Clearly they are trying to maximize profit over quality. Our first construction manager was a very poor communicator and ended up leaving the company. His replacement was actually quite good and gave us the best level of communication we had throughout the process. Pulte senior management should have communicated far more than they did throughout the building crisis in 2021 and 2022. All we received were an occasional "form letter" eMail about the wonderful experience of building a Pulte home. Instead of proactively reaching out to their customers to let us know what the challenges were with delays, supply chain problems and labor shortages, they hid behind their construction managers to do all of the dirty work and tough communication about delays and shortages. In our community Pulte also stated they were not going to build any additional golf courses or amenities. This would put our community greatly behind other Del Webb communities in terms of the number of golf holes per homes, amenities per home, etc. There is a significant grass roots effort in our community to force Pulte to live up to what they promised their customers through advertising and sales pitches throughout the years. Despite our frustrations with the building process, we hear worse stories from people we've met who built in other communities with other builders. Do your homework before you buy. In the end, it's the people we meet in the community that will make our experience good and hopefully the pain of the construction process will fade over time. ... More

Building took longer than expected. Several issues with the roof that need to be repaired, The cabinets need repairs. Never recieved our cutlery drawer. Garbage can lids are bent. Painter missed several spots. Tile has different color gout in primary bath because they had to replace a tile. A hair line crack in a tile in primary bath. Hole in wall where the plumbing fixture drains. I could go on.

Lot's of issues with the house once we moved in. House was not built the best for the money we spent. Very disappointed.
