Del Webb Reviews in Ocala, FL

Our salesperson (Allen) really worked with us to find the lot that met our expectations. He was always pleasant and easy to work with. Our project manager (Jacob) did an excellent job communicating with us throughout the building process. He kept us informed of the progress with pictures and any information he thought relevant. Since being in the home we've had to work with our warranty person (Debbie) on issues and she has been responsive however we have been disappointed with the length of time it took to resolve some of the issues i.e. a broken kitchen cabinet. We were told that it would take a week to replace it however it took over a month and a half. Also it was disappointing to have a roof leak that was not corrected on the first attempt and caused more damage to our ceiling when it leaked a second time. Our warranty manager has been very responsive and communicative to address issues. Overall we happy to be in our new home. ... More

Overall going through the process with the the building manager assigned has been great. (Mateo) He was great in listening to me and responding accordingly. But now issues are surfacing. My driveway had to be completely removed due to someone driving on it before the concrete cured, But instead of putting pavers over the concrete, they completely demolished the concrete driveway severing the cable to my neighbors home and then had to reframe and repour new concrete. Completely uncalled for. Now my lawn is starting to die off, not from lack of water, but from something yet to be determined. Note, I've only been here for 5 weeks, and it's not looking very good at the moment. ... More

building during Covid a challenge. Supply and labor issues throughout build. Inferior product at stages and difficult to get Del Webb to provide what was promised and expected. We felt it was necessary to watch them build and check on the work often. We love our home but the process was not easy or enjoyable.

In general we had a good building experience. Our sales person and design team did an outstanding job. Project completion was very delayed from the initial estimate. Also, we are still waiting on unresolved open issues that were noted shortly after closing.

Our construction manager was very through. Chase B. is quite knowledgeable about the houses he oversees. His good attitude took a lot of stress out of the entire process. Thank you!

You are buying a lifestyle.....Not a home!

Mostly ok. There are not enough project managers or support team staff to provide the courtesy of a response. Escalating matters to the sales team is a waste of time. Be aware of back ordered and out of stock items.

I told salesman I would plant plants in my yard. He said no problem. He said for outside house construction issues I would have to submit request to HOA. I did not know planting a single plant would require an HOA approval at the cost of $25!! had I known, I would NEVER have bought here!!

Although our home ended up as we hoped it would. Plute is hard to deal with. Salesperson was great, project manager was great, however with the amount of builds that are taking place every owner should hire a private home inspector throughout the build. They don’t quality check on every turn of the build and they don’t have the staff to do it with. You are the quality check and rest assure unless you were in the business of home building hire an expert for your interests on quality checks. So far as we have moved in I have found their phone numbers to call not effective at all. You have to hope your project manager or salesperson will have your back and resolve issues. Biggest problem for future home buyers are quality of the build not quality of their staff or materials they just need more help. ... More

The drain located at the back of the house is always clogged after raining, and water is always puddling. We advised HOA again and were told that it is a Pulte construction issue. We just want the issue resolved.

Please spend more time in your walk through so you don't have to keep calling warranty for issues.

Overall very happy

Empty promises. No follow through. Poor quality workmanship.

Was not able to attend pre-closing walk through but was able to be there for 3 days the week following closing. While there I found no power in half the kitchen receptacles{which has been fixed} and no power in both baths{which hasn't}. I spent 2 hours cleaning paint splatter off floor so grout could be sealed which had to be done after closing. This makes no sense whatsoever. There is a gouge in the drywall, front door weatherstripping problem, sprinkler head by front door problem, something was dropped on the kitchen sink leaving a mark and the concrete apron in front of the garage looks like a 10 year old did. Not even at the home yet so no telling what else needs attention but based on my first 3 days I'm sure it will be something. I will say if I had to do this all over I would have serious reservations. ... More

The initial drive into Stone Creek as well as the models and the staff all A+. The finished product comes in at a C for the following reasons. Attention to detail is lacking both inside and out. For example, on the interior we needed to sand and re-paint some window sills and caulk base board joints and crown molding shortly after moving in. Had issues with shutters because the windows are not even. On the exterior. By far the outside is our biggest disappointment for the following reasons. Ground is so uneven our new $600.00 lawn mower is taking a beating after just 2 uses. A very nice representative from Del Webb told us that they would have the lawn rolled in an effort to help with the unevenness. Because there are no trees, shrubs or foliage to somewhat block the the 8 homes in our direct view from our gathering room, dining room and lanai it is truly our biggest disappointment. The property is a nice size but it feels like a baron land when I open the shutters. ... More

I bought a new home in Stone Creek. Overall the home is good for the price point. My problem is the sliding glass door, I paid for a new door and got one that is patched together with pieces that don’t fit right and let the bugs in. I have put paper in all the holes. I paid for a new door, not one that isn’t right. I want the whole door replaced.

This was a very stressful experience that we will not repeat again. This was our second home built with Delweb in Stone Creek, and this experience was not as smooth as the first home.

Don't believe everything they tell you. Know that warranty issue are a nightmare to get things done. No one ever returns phone calls.

Our home closing date was almost a month late. In discussing with our construction manager we were told closings were being moved around by his manager. Smaller homes were being moved to the earlier closing dates. We also had the closing coordinator try to move out our closing date due to their capacity, we pushed back on this and the held to the date. BUT this is really not ok, all teams should be aware of delays and address so the same house does not keep getting pushed out. We had to pay an additional month of storage on our house hold items. Our home was a mess on closing date, the cleaning was unacceptable. We have a lot of tile floors, when I raised concerns about the poor cleaning of the floors as they were filthy, our construction manager told us the cleaning crew used up 5 mop heads and was unwilling to clean any better. Why would anyone think this response was ok? We had to spend over 8 hours scrubbing our floors before we could even move in. We have built 6 homes, I have never been disappointed with my prior homes on closing date. We built a home with Pulte in 2014 and it was very good quality, the home is clearly not. The quality of trim / finish carpentry is very poor, and they way they are trying to correct this is consistently making it worse with every attempt as the person they are sending clearly has received no training on how to fix these issues. Some things can not be fixed with with sanding, corners should be crisp not rounded, split and cracked molding can not be caulked to repair, and rather than trying to fix items should be replaced. Molding is cheap. ... More

Everything doing the buying and building process was great, however as soon as we closed on the property we got radio silence, No response back from simple questions and the warranty dept does not exist (being ignored, no return email or call). Our stars would have so much higher, if the post close had been the same as doing the building process

As of right now, I am a very unhappy buyer. I have an issue with the water sprinkler system getting a bill that’s way too high and I was only here for two weeks. Already got a call from the water company that can be almost impossible telling me I use 52,000 gallons of water but it seems to be no concern to anyone involved in my issues I am shutting off my sprinkler system. The sprinkler system keeps leaking so I don’t know who to get in touch with. I’ve tried so many people but nobody returning my calls or emails I had somebody say they’re looking into it I haven’t had anybody come to my house or anything to get this problem fixed so I’m gonna get my first water bill. Phil living here for over two weeks I’m gonna get maybe a 500 and something dollar bill for using 52,000 gallons of water that’s almost impossible so I need somebody to take care of this problem take charge. Let me know what I have to do because my bill is coming soon and I need my issue fixed. I do have a warranty so let’s get somebody over here to fix it and let me know what the problem might betill then, I am very unhappy and I will still write comments in the Stone Creek community paper ...

Home was built within time frame promised. Punch list before close not completed so now we are dealing with the warranty people. They have to see eversum itted before they will send the trade out. Frustrating process now.

After driving thousands of miles to get into our new home we discovered that our brand new washing machine (that we purchased from Pulte) was leaking water. It took three phone calls and a heated conversation with the Customer Care people to finally get someone from Pulte to respond. They refused to replace washing machine even though it never wash one load. Their warranty states it will be repaired not replaced. Three weeks later and it still has not been repaired. No parts in stock to repair.. Totally frustrated!!

Our experience with Allen our salesman at Stone creek was excellent he is knowledgeable, personable and provided great service. Our construction manager was ok, we feel he should have been keeping a closer eye on what was going on in the home during the build, which would have avoided some of the problems. Workers from numerous trades are very careless, large gouges, dings and scapes were in the drywall throughout the house which needed repair and repainting. One electrical outlet was dry walled over, and one outlet in the kitchen was tiled over. The kitchen sink was not properly installed in the granite countertop and leaked into the cabinet below, mirror in the master bath was reset 3 times due to being placed in the wrong location and a bowed wall. One day after closing the Construction manager set up the door installer to fix a problem and the contractor was a no show, no call and no response from anyone. The driveway was poured about 2 1/2” - 3” below the level of the garage floor and they had to grind down the entire edge of the garage floor to reduce the difference where you drive in. When the construction manager was asked how that could happen, he shrugged his shoulders. After closing using the warranty team to resolve issues is extremely stressful. We contacted the warranty department by email and phone calls about the kitchen sink leak. A response is supposed to occur 24-48 hours after contacting them. After no response for one week from the warranty team, we went and spoke to our salesman and asked for help. After his intervention, we received a call back and follow up for the warranty team representative within one business day. The sink issue was resolved about 5 days later, however the process didn’t happen as the warranty team explained. The warranty representative also resolved the door issue. Overall we still love the house, we are still dealing with some small issues and navigating the Del web process. ... More

Was not the enjoyable process we hoped for.
