Del Webb Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

Worked with several construction managers over the course of the build. Most times the concerns and issues that I brought to the attention of the Pulte construction people were ignored. Sometimes I would not have any communications for many weeks. When I did receive some form of communications, there was no follow through on what I was told would be done. I am still trying to resolve construction issues. Other issues I took care of myself, and I am still resolving the issues myself.

My Sales Representative was exceptionally helpful throughout the whole process and my Construction Manager was beyond exceptional.

After many delays in our closing date, almost 5 months, we have closed. Some of the issues we noticed at closing still haven't been addressed and many other small things have been noticed, which were not easily seen. Like shoddy finishing on the spakling, cabinet installation, screens too small to fit windows etc.

My experience has not been great. I realize the supply chain issues couldn't be avoided, my issue is with the quality of the the finish work. It left a lot to be desired. Too many issue that now need to be redone, is not how I expected my move into my NEW HOME to be. My opinion is there are too many new builds going on at once, and the trades are rushing through doing a sub standard job. Now I have work orders to be completed to correct the issues. Why wasn't it done right the first time?!

This builder pushes out houses before they are ready. The workmanship suffers and the homeowner is left with a house that is less than they expect or should get.

Salesman charming to get the sale; unresponsive post signing contract. Field managers come and go: incredible delays in construction. Be sure to have own private inspection pre close to find construction flaws I.e. roof, biological growth, furnace & plumbing issues. Post closing, no one is responsive in a timely manner to the issue listed at walk through just before closing. Be willing to hold firm and hold company ro accountability, make no assumptions.

Have been in home since September 10th...still waiting on towel bar in master!!!!... several repair items.... still waiting on response!!!!

Took almost two months to fix broken tile on fireplace, our whirlpool refrigerator had no ice and water and seal leaks on right hand door , still not fixed with Pulte the builder and bottom line , took 10 months to build the home , four months late from original closing promised

I wrote a long review listing all the issues we experienced during our home build. Go back and read that. Now, what we’re seeing is slow response from the after closing warranty Dept. We prob would not build with Pulte again.

Building a home while living out of state was not a good experience. We felt we weren’t kept apprised of things until we had to repeatedly ask about progress. Pulte was not responsive to any changes that could have been easily done during construction. Now that we’re in our home, we are having a difficult time getting some issues we’re having corrected.

Would like more care with finishing touches on outside of home. Trim missing. Caulking very rough and sloppy. Extra globs of cement left to harden on sidewalk and garage floor.

I was very disappointed in the quality of the construction of my first new home ever. Lots of little things visible and a few that were just totally ridiculous to have even been presented to me as the buyer. And there is a huge push for you to say you are satisfied within a few days after closing when it takes a little time to find things that need to be corrected.

Quality of workmanship was subpar. They just wanted to get the home built ASAP and then let the homeowner suffer the consequences of repairs. Very stressful

The building experience was ok. Communication has always been an issue. I closed on my home nearly 2 months ago and STILL don’t have the things completed that were on my list from the pre closing walk through. Now, my site manager is gone and I am not getting any response from Dan or Steve. I am very frustrated and disappointed.

Customer care does not return phone calls. We have issues that need answers. No one will meet with us.

The contractors used by Pulte are below average. The roof shingles were defective when installed and until our personal home inspector went on the roof, Pulte had no clue there was a problem. They did no quality control to inspect the integrity of the roof. The towel rods in the baths are cheap even though we bought an upgraded model of Moen. The sodding of the yard was awful and Hittle landscaping skipped a 4 foot section in the back and after 6 weeks it has not been installed. We realize this is not a custom home build but really, the attention to quality work is not there. I question whether Pulte does any significant quality control of contractor's work and demand very much of them except a low bid price for mass construction projects. Don't know if we would do this again if we had a do over.. ... More

It is too early to provide a review. After 2 months, my reaction is neutral.

We never felt like anyone gave us their first priority!

Buying experience was fine, but getting items repaired after closing is way too difficult. Not very responsive in addressing concerns, so please do not be in a rush to close ... get every issue short of a drywall nail pop addressed prior to closing as this is when they're most responsive.

While I believe the Del Webb social aspects of the community will be a positive if I can ever get beyond trying to fix all the issues with the house, the building process with Pulte has been extremely stressful, challenging and disappointing for the cost of the build. Multiple issues of sloppiness in the concrete pours, brick caulking, wide open spaces of daylight through doorframes, build design flaws, inability to get warm (not even hot) water in some sinks in anything less than 1 minute and 20 seconds, toilets so off center you actually are knocking into the wall as you sit, shower doors with multiple issues and more. And Pulte will only consider fixing or are even capable of fixing even a small portion of the problems without tearing the house apart. It would seem the only objective Pulte has is to get houses up fast and to get paid. It certainly is not quality of build or customer satisfaction. I have only met three people so far and their feelings and the conversations are all alike on this topic. ... More

Horrible & difficult experience with Pulte. Our third new build with them & a completely different experience this time.

Although we are generally happy with the home and the community, we have been disappointed by some of the workmanship with the home and the responsiveness to repair. Our oven was defective and will not be repaired until after the holidays. Why weren't the appliances tested? Our back door lock has been stuck since September and we are still waiting repair. Our hose bib continues to be broken and we continue to wait for a plumber to repair it before the freezing weather sets in. This doesn't include all the nooks and crannies that weren't finished properly and that it appears that no one will return to repair. My street number is obscured by a bush that was planted directly in front of it. So, my recommendation is that you need to be aware that the promises made in the advertising about the workmanship of Pulte homes and that they will meet all expectations are really not 100% true. ...

Our first contractor was Dale. He told us all about himself but never listed to us. He only responded when we tracked him down on the build site. Promises were made but not followed through. A frustrating experience. At closing a new contractor, Warren was assigned. He listened to our issues and is trying but lacks the power from Pulte to get resolution. Incomplete work or problems with construction were listed on the closing document to be addressed post closing. To date, some items have been fixed but most are left incomplete, ie Crooked walls, appliances not working correctly, bubbles in the ceiling, etc. Lots of emails with lists of outstanding problems have been sent. Still waiting! ... More

We had THREE construction managers during the entire building process with the third not responding in any way to questions. He then quit week before closing and dumped all the problems on his manager who received the wrath unfairly. We have been in 6 weeks now and still have unfinished items. The main concern is master shower and is a result of poor subcontractors work and or inability to actually show up and do the work. This is the 4th house I have had built and by far the worst experience.

Pulte is building the homes in Kimblewick too quickly. I had two in-house floods because installers couldn't find studs, they found water lines to puncture. My fireplace wasn't completed before the dry wall went up, resulting in no electric power to turn on the gas fireplace. A hole was cut in the drywall to fix this problem, but the hole is still there, even after promises to send a drywaller and painter over to fix IT! I owned a Pulte constructed home in Apple Valley, California. They took their time building it and it was sound. Didn't have near the problems that we are experiencing now! I hate to say this but, I am NOT happy with Pulte. Neither are most of my new neighbors! We feel for the amount we paid for our homes...Pulte has left us DOWN. I don't expect you will share this with buyers, but at least you should share it with your bosses. What happened in Apple Valley could happen here. ... More
