Del Webb Reviews in Martin St. Lucie Okeechobee Counties, FL

Robert was great in keeping me updated and explained in detail the features of the house.

In my personal experience this company have a lot room for improvement..

The finish quality of our home was not very good quality. We found that they used Particle Board in our roof vs.. Plywood that we see them using on other houses presently being built. The tile and grout work was average at best. The interior painting was horrible. Alignment and set of switches and wall plates was abysmal. Two of our four sliding doors were damaged. The response to fixing a lot of these challenges by Michael has been very good, but it's a shame that their have been so many things that have needed attention. We have owned our home for around 5 weeks and have had to have tradesman in and out every week and still more to come. ... More

HOA Mgr does not answer emails or phone and home punch items still not fixed.

There seems to be a lack of communication between all parties involved representing Pulte Homes and Del Webb I feel that there should be better communication amongst the party so that when an owner Moves In they don't have to stress about visitors entering the gate parking stickers things like that and my initial experience with the HOA representative has been quite negative do to her lack of response

Closing was delayed due to lack of ability to communicate with the city vendor which was not true. After showing how perturbed we were, then they suddenly Pulte was able to get the meter installed. We had 2 turn overs of construction managers, no explanation. poor communication. Roof in garage not installed correctly-leak, but was repaired. Water in tun not draining due to glue and debris. This was repaired. Dried urine on toilet seat -workers should have been using porter potty. HOA fees include irrigation and landscape maintenance which is not holding up to their promise. Lawns are not watered and taken care of and not fair to have to pay for this lack of care. ... More

nice house for the money they gave us a great deal,however there are some issues with the house and not getting a response from the service team.

Not very happy they take their time nightmare responsive to your needs and times matter of fact they have no respect for your time.

We have been in the home since the middle of August and have a punch list of items that need work. We cannot get anyone to fix these.

The home was delivered six months after the projected closing date. The ceiling in the gathering room had to be resurfaced and repainted and doesn’t match the original making a house look like it’s not new. Interior workmanship is inferior when it comes to caulking, baseboard millwork, painting, uneven flooring, door mounting, some windows are cosmetically damaged and the frames need repainting. The French doors and entryway doors are not hung properly. All interior windows are missing their interior panels to hide screws. The house was far from being cleaned when we moved in. We had to clean almost everything, countertops, floors, and walls, they were paint splatters over the entire house. Since we were able to visit the job site every day contractors were not held responsible for keeping the jobsite clean as Pulte advertised and placed signs. Food, empty beverage bottles, and general garbage was left on our lot frequently. Quite honestly we were not excited about moving into our new home because of the number of issues that needed to be addressed. I have heard that our issues were pretty common with all the builders in the Port St. Lucie area. This is unfortunate. Our warranty person met us the first day we moved in and has been responding to our concerns. Presently I’m feeling that our issues will be addressed. I feel it’s unfortunate because many of these issues could’ve been addressed during the construction process and could’ve taken a lot less man hours to rectify than doing it after the fact. ... More

Building your dream home should be a wonderful experience, but this is not the case with Pulte. Excuses at every turn. Closed 2 months ago.. house was filthy, finish construction work was sloppy & now we have to battle Pulte ‘customer service’ to get things repaired. Many subs just aren’t skilled. Certainly not the quality expected when buying a $500k+ home.

Home not finished at the time of closing. Poor quality including some drawers missing hardware, paint splatters everywhere, shower drain clogged due to construction debris, dead shurbs in the backyard, scratched windows, and many other issues. The house was dirty at the time of closing. Very very disappointed with the lack of quality control by this company.

Issues: 1. Master bathtub was reglazed (used); still waiting on a new one 2. Corian slabs chipped and scratched in master bath shower; still waiting on resolution 3. Paint is peeling on exterior of home; still waiting on a resolution 4. Air Conditioner is making a loud noise and AC person said it needs to be replaced 5. Electrical plates for ceiling fans are not adequate, electrical plates were installed for a regular light fixture instead 6. Garage door keeps opening on its own; repair person was here and reprogrammed the garage opener, but the issue still exists 7. A tree in front of the house died and the same tree was replaced and it is dying too ... More

The buying process was very easy and the sale staff was excellent. However, now that I have moved in, and paid in full my new home, I have experienced a large number of construction flaws and the response to get the issues fixed is unacceptable. I have no return on my phone calls nor text messages, I feel very neglected by a builder whose contractors did not complete quality workmanship and the final inspection should have corrected the problems. I am not a happy customer as I am left hanging waiting for someone to not only acknowledged the problems but will send reputable workers to fix the issues in a timely manner and communicate with me on an ETA. Having the shelving of the master closet collapse and tearing the drywall to mention the latest is very dangerous, I am afraid that the shelving system in the entire house is weak and could become a danger, Having exposed wiring was also dangerous. Sending an electrician who does not follow the work order and does not complete the task is neither professional nor acceptable. At this point, I am very disillusioned with my purchase and will think twice about recommending Del Webb and Pulte ... More

Pulte's Build Quality Process sounds good if it were followed. Their top priority is getting the home closed and not the quality. Even with paying for top tier upgrade options, the materials and workmanship are substandard. We closed the last week of September, here it first week in November... and we are dealing with 1800 sq feet of tile re-grout, walls and baseboards repairs/ painting, cabinets issues, and a shower floor re-do. We are living in the home in the middle of all this ... and haven't fully unpacked and we delayed furniture deliveries until these are completed. Thier Warranty Customer Care service is painful ....poor process and communications leading to delays and miscommunication to vendors. Unfortunately, customer care managers are not a truly a customer advocate as they abide by Pulte rules such as the motto ....if you can't see it from 4 feet away or in certain lighting .... it's not an issue. The Warranty Customer Care service is a false sense of assurance when you go to close. They'll address the issues .. but how long and at who's level of quality? ... More

Pulte was adamant about there 10 point process never happened. There walk through inspection we’re not followed through. It took 4. Days to get hot water and We couldn’t cook no gas? Took a month to get shower door in master bedroom. The outside slider it took a month for some one to come out now we have to wait for new door. I asked repair people if the tile floors were sealed and was told because we are old people they don’t seal them because we might slip and fall?

We would have to tell them to buy somewhere else

Noticed several issues as soon as we moved in. The toilet bowl leaked, trim was missing from under dishwasher, peep hole improperly installed, hole in ceiling next to a vent, light fell out of ceiling and is hanging by the wires and our doorbell improperly wired. Our sprinkler system has not worked for almost 2 months. Numerous calls and several attempts later and they are still not working. After moving in it was determined that a drainage system needed to be installed so they show up one day without notice and start tearing up my poorly laid sod and install drainage pipes that should have been installed when the house was built. The workers just laid the bushes they dug up on top of the soil wherever they thought they belonged. All this is just the tip of the iceberg. Things like screens pulling out of the Lanai that have holes in them, etc. None of the issues are being addressed because of the Corona virus but there is no reason a repairman couldn't enter the house wearing a mask and gloves to complete the repairs and some of the repairs are outside of the home. If I can safely shop at Publix, sit in a restaurant and have a meal or go for a walk on the beach there is no reason repairs can't be made. Stop using Corona virus as an excuse and start making repairs. The icing on the cake is our club house that was supposed to be completed before we moved in on April 1st is still not finished. Houses are being built by the dozens but repairs can't be completed. Very dissatisfied. . ... More

We have been here a month people are great. We have been trying for 3 weeks for someone return our call to help resolve the issues. Having buyers remorse

As such, the term building quality is not applicable to Del Webb, As it relates to Pulte, the quality is average, as is usual for mass production, very much dependable on the region and specific location defining labour quality and skills. In my case, these were below substandard. In my area, Pulte construction managers were lacking basic understanding of the function and project management process resulting in multiple defects and deficiencies that am addressing up to date six weeks after the closing. On the other hand Del Webb's signature advantages, such as elegant architectural design of homes, layout of communities involving extra space for preserves and nature trails, and enhanced upgrade options, overweight Pulte's quality building problems. All-in-all, am happy with new home despite multiple Pulte's failures, including broken communications and unpredictable delays. I still recommend Del Webb to new customers. ... More

Do not close until everything in your Pulte home has been done to your satisfaction. It might not get done after you close. We had excessive things wrong in the home and they are still fixing things after almost 2 months. Then to fix it, they give you a 4 hour window to show up, and then might not even show, or only fix half of what was scheduled. We had to escalate up thru corporate and even they did not care. We have not been happy with our experience at all.

Ask lots of questions and hopefully get truthful answers.

very poor customer service. After closing, you are lucky to get them to answer your phone calls.

Very sloppy new house presented to us

We had to have a shower door replaced. Water still leaks through door onto bathroom floor. Garage floor muddy foot prints and globs of cement. Kitchen cabinets doors not aligned. Kitchen cabinet doors scraped all along bottom. Piece for dishwasher sitting on counter waiting to be installed. Raul responds and takes care of what he can.
