Del Webb Reviews in Ocala, FL

I'm not happy with the quality of the workmanship on our tile floor. Grout is not even seemed like the just slapped it down quickly, didn't use spacers so grout lines are uneven, some tiles are raised not happy with this. We were told they are within the quidelines. If they can get them perfect in the model homes the quality should be the same in all homes. Very discussed!

Our home was completed two weeks ahead of projected completion date. The Building Team was organized and followed through from initial inquiry to our closing. Thank you!

We have been very happy with our entire experience at Stone Creek Del Webb from contract to design to the home building process. Everyone was polite and welcoming. We are happy with our choice to move into this lovely neighborhood.

Darren our salesman was awesome

Everything was done exactly as requested and our Building Rep Jacob was just wonderful. We loved Allen too. They both responded quickly to any questions or requests we had. I am very happy with our beautiful home. Even the construction workers were respectful to the current owners.

We like our new home. Communication was good during the construction process since we were living out of town. Couple of minor issues but they were addressed quickly.

The day we took possession we had the following issues: Broken windows Painting is so bad they are repainting the entire inside of our house Refrigerator has bee replaced (Ice Maker DOA) Air Conditioning has failed on two occasions (Leaks were found on the outside of the house) The quality of our home is just not what we expected and our dreams have been taken away with all the issues

Limited colors and options available for all upgrade categories. No inclination or ability to customize for the buyers.

Overall very happy

Overall, our experience has been great. The build-out went smoothly, and there were no major issues with our home. There have been some minor issues, but so far, these have been competently handled by the warranty department.

We had talented, professional folks helping us through the entire build process from sales to design to build to closing. Fantastic support that really made the difference. The home turned out better than we imagined.

Stone Creek used 116,000 gallons of water on our sod prior to ours closing. After our closing we had inadvertently and quite accidentally and mistakenly used 92,000 gallons of water on our new sod. Isn’t that an excessive amount of water and a waste????? Perhaps your notice/awareness Regarding watering new sod to new homebuyers could be made with more emphasis regarding the awareness of the first and second water bill!!!!! It’s been very upsetting to get our first water bill - $733.46!!!!!! It’s absolutely absurd and a shame that we got this kind of bill!!! Very upsetting as new home buyers to Stone Creek!!! We have never experienced this kind of water bill anywhere ever!!!! This should NOT have happened!!! We would trust you more had this not have happened!!! Perhaps literature to new home buyers could be written with a stronger warning regarding their first water bill!!!!!! ... More

Empty promises. No follow through. Poor quality workmanship.

We were fortunate to be able to visit several Del Web communities before deciding to buy in Ocala. We made sure to compare building code and how homes were built. In one part of Florida the home are wood construction instead of concrete blocks, having lived in Florida we realized the importance of having a concrete block construction and to make sure it is safe for hurricanes, it only takes one hurricane to do a lot of damage and having lived through several hurricanes we knew what type of construction was needed. Also, very important to have a good sale person , if you do not like the one assigned to you ,you will not buy!!!! Also, good construction manager is a must , one that will keep you updated weekly and send pictures and allow you to visit during construction. Able to answer any questions you may have, and explain things clearly. We also looked at what type activities were offered and what facilities the area had. We found it useful to stay in the community for a few days and experience what it would be like to live there. All in all we were lucky and had a very favorable experience at buying and building our home. We are enjoying living here and are participating in the many activities the community has to offer, all the people we have met have been very friendly. ... More

My overall experience with Del Webb was smooth. Darren from Sales was helpful, courteous, responsive and professional. Delivery of my home was on schedule as projected. Closing process was smooth though my closing statement needed adjustment for a missed down payment. Minor defect was spot on my quartz island countertop at pre closing inspection. The whole countertop was replaced in the morning on the closing day. A number of carpentry items (such as nails punching out from side) have to go through the warranty process. We would hope better quality control can be done by Del Webb instead of having customers to find out at inspection or after move in. ... More

I really got good customer service before close of escrow but find Pulte really lacking in service after close. I lived in a Del Webb in California some years ago and found them to be much more customer friendly. I suppose I will get used to this but is disappointing.

Biggest issue was front lawn sod. We received some bad sod and they agreed and are replacing it. Otherwise the house is great. Walls, woodwork, molding, etc were installed with excellent workmanship. We are very satisfied.

Production home, don't expect perfection.

Great experience! Love our new home!

We have had nothing but problems since moving in. You can see daylight through the garage door and that is an "acceptable" margin of error. This attitude is totally unacceptable! The garage doors are just cheap pieces of metal! The child safety mechanism can easily be put out of alignment. We had 3 defective toilets. Totally not level. They have been replaced. The master bath twice and bath 3 had to have the drain collar replace because it was cracked when the replacement was installed. We were without a toilet in the master bedroom for a whole month. The tile in the master bedroom had to be removed replaced in order to level the floor. The back corner was so out of level. The Slider could not be locked. That took 2 trips to get addressed. A handle on the kitchen cabinet was off. That door had to be replaced and 12 if the cabinet doors had to be adjusted The shutters in the master bedroom were off and had to be replaced. There was only 1 window shutter that did not have to be adjusted. The overflow drain in the tub of bath 3 had to be adjusted. That meant that the wall in the master bath had to be opened for that to be corrected. There is a dead tree in the back yard that was put in between us and our neighbor behind us. our neighbor notified the office before we did and it is still there. We now have a problem with the seat in the master shower where the top is lifting off the tile . So far every week has been a new problem! It is OLD! ... More

They said that your home will be completed in 6 months... believe me, it will be!

I was lucky enough to have the best building manager you can hope for. Heather is truly the gold standard!! Fortunate again to have a very hard working, sales agent, Allen, that cares and will always follow through.

Hi. This is our third Pulte home and the quality of this home is less than our previous Pulte homes. Cheaper stainless sinks, substandard pitted granite, thermostat of lesser quality and features. No light over the kitchen sink. This is a 55+ community and the shower head is hard to reach for me and I am 6 feet. I have to get the shower head down for my wife who is 5'5". The lights are not centered over the island. They only needed to be moved 7" to make them correct. Not being able to increase the size of your patio screen enclosure which means I need to tear the whole thing down and rebuild completely new. We purchased 8' interior doors but we have a 6'8" interior door that you can see from the front door as you come in because the architects have no imagination and don't care how stupid it looks. Additionally, their solution doesn't even work because the A/C handling unit whines when the door is closed because there is not enough airflow going to the unit. The inability to even make the smallest changes that fix poor design ideas by the architects is not new with Pulte, but frustrating still. We liked the basic floorplan but we were hoping for better quality. Our sales person and field manager were excellent but they have no control over quality if it is OK with Pulte standards. Thanks. ... More

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
