Del Webb Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

2nd manager was very helpful and tried his best to make the building experience understandable

Our overall experience was a good one. I feel we would have had a better experience with our project manager if we had met before construction began. We got off on the wrong path after our first meeting when we felt like we were not told the truth about the delay in the construction schedule. Yes the delay time was improved after a discussion with the PM. After we moved in we had a great experience with Allison and Mariah on answering questions and approving requests. We have had a great experience meeting our subdivision neighbors. We a very pleased with the community.

My wife and I have had a good experience working with the del-Webb sales team they had a great attitude and there was no pressure to sale. The community is loaded with people of our age. And there’s no shortage on activities, which will keep us. Engage with the surrounding neighbors. It is not an easy task of moving from one Home to another but I can say it is well worth it once you move into a community like this and enjoy the safe and beautiful surroundings of this area at homes.

Overall our experience was good. We were not initially impressed with the sales team in the beginning. I believe this was due to more potential buyers walking through the door than agents to service them. Once we were in the contract process, things improved. Everyone we dealt with at DelWeb were great, especially the design consultant and especially our Construction manager who was fantastic. After closing we had some additional issues pop up that we didn’t pick up on during the pre closing inspection. Those issues were immediately addressed. Same was true with some warranty issues which were addressed with no hassle. I would recommend a DelWeb community based on my experience. ... More

The sales manager and construction manager are very responsive and taking the action on it once the issue has been reported.

We had a good experience considering this was our first home built from a company as large as Dell Webb. We received weekly pictures of the progress from Vicky, and it was nice since we were from MI. Our construction manager Tom was good about communicating with us, as we understood how many homes he was managing. He was very knowledgeable and kept us in the loop on the progress. We feel that once we closed, the communication slowed, and getting assistance was hard. Our fireplace was not working and we ended up just calling ourselves and got things taken care of. The construction was good, however it seemed sloppy. The home was filthy when we moved in, and we had bent screens, scratched glass, and uneven tiles in our guest bathroom. We’re still receiving past due notices from Spectrum regarding our cable, and have tried addressing this on numerous occasions. Aside from those few issues, we feel we had a good experience and are very happy to be a part of this beautiful community! Love seeing the progress on the clubhouse too. ... More

Question everything and get things in writing. The sales rep specifically stated that I needed to get my down payment in asap to secure everything , especially since the interest rates were going up. I did this but my interest rates were not secured. There was more that should have been done to do this and she never said anything about it. As a result it cost me an additional $5500.00 to close my loan.

Missing pulls, vent over oven, missing molding in the home, They did come and fix 4 plugs in the kitchen. Replaced dented dishwasher and microwave.

went over very well. think you very much

Overall quality of build is good, but disappointed in the some of the details in work done. Looks like they were in a hurry to get done and hope that home owner doesn't notice. Interior doors that don't latch, dead bolts difficult to set, sloppy painting (inside and out), windows seem cheap, Valances for all the blinds had to be reset as they were all installed crooked...why would you think that was ok? Installation of the tile floors and LVP seem to be very good. I had an outside inspector come in, he found several items, which they addressed...but again, why not do it right the first time? Tim, the project mgr has been very good at addressing issues. Overall a good house, they just don't pay attention to the fit and finish in some areas. ... More

Vicky was great to work with. Our supt. wasgood but would have liked more communication. Our house was completed less than 10 mos. after signing contract, which was great. When paying almost $600k for a home, we would have liked more choices. Should have gotten credit/discount for things we omitted (mirrors, wire shelving,). Wish the interiors color person would have advised us of the quality (or lack thereof) of some of our selections. Our hard flooring is awful - anything that drops on the floor leaves a divot, not just a scratch. No soil prep on lawn - lots of weeds. Lots of ‘pot holes’ in lawn. All plantings put in to look good today - NOT 5 - 10 years down the road. Many trees too close to house. We have one of the largest front yards in the entire community, but only one tree. Extremely disappointed that construction on the recreation amenities hasn’t started yet - a paved parking lot is not a start. ... More

My wife and l purchased a home in Carolina Gardens in NC. The overall process went smoothly as possible given that it was a remote sale. Upon it s completion we were extremely satisfied with the result. Our construction manager, David was very instrumental in making this so. David was personable, competent and responsive. He addressed to our satisfaction all of our questions and concerns regarding the build. He also addressed some minor issues which arose after closing. We are grateful to him. I would highly recommend a Del Webb home.

Level of finish work inside, and outside was surprisingly good. Time to complete the home for closing was disappointing. it took about 11 months from our first deposit and paperwork signing. Building of permanent amenities, clubhouse, pools, tennis courts, etc. still has not started as of this writing but we are paying FULL HOA FEES with no amenities even in sight yet!

Overall, our process was very satisfactory. Materials and fit and finish were very good. We have built 6 homes and this experience rated high on the list. Be sure to make sure you cover all deficiencies prior to closing. After closing little things are fixed. We have a major situation and it proving to be harder to remedy.

Del Webb has chosen a beautiful location in Fuquay Varina to build homes. Del Webb takes pride in beautifying it’s property with lovely flowers and trees throughout the area It’s a lovely place to come home to.

Overall, we were happy with our buying experience and are happy with our home. The quality is better than some other homes we have seen built in the area. Communication from the builder could have been better. For example, if you want to get your mortgage from someone other than Pulte, make sure to ask what information they need and when. We felt like we were forced into a mortgage with Pulte Mortgage, although the rate was very good. Pulte Mortgage is difficult to work with. When it was time for our appointment for upgrades and choosing color schemes, we were only given partial information ahead of time so we felt pressured to make quick decisions on those things we had no information on and would have chosen differently if we had the needed information beforehand. Upgrades are more expensive than they should have been, in my opinion. Also, we payed for dedicated 20 amp outlets in the garage. 20 amp lines and breakers were put in, but we only got 15 amp sockets. We were told they can’t or won’t fix that. Our home came with a wet bar option. We wanted the cabinets, but no sink and were told that wasn’t possible; yet the neighbors were allowed to eliminate the sink and get the cabinets in their home. Why the difference? So a buyer needs to work hard to make sure they get what they really want. The landscaping and sod leave a lot to be desired. I would recommend having an outside inspector inspect the home before purchase and at 11 months. Pulte is more likely to fix the things in the inspection report and the inspector will often find things the buyer misses. Having said all that, I do not have any overall regrets about purchasing this home. ... More

On time delivery for closing

Although we knew it was not a custom home, their building process is inflexible. We would have liked satin paint vs flat, a few more appliance choices such as electric/induction stove top.

Like pex plumbing, cabinetry, insulation materials, lumber quality, wiring, landscape countoured for proper drain, flooring, accoustics, windows. KitchenAid fridge & oven have issues. Upstairs toilet was non functional upon arrival. Low voltage audio system was not installed, parts missing. HVAC air filters were filthy, looked like they had not been changed for a year or more.

This is our 4th home but only 2nd from ground up. There could have been more communication or better communication. We understand that times are a little different however customer service should not change. Also, a customer should not receive their home dirty.

Overall it was a good experience for me

Tried to shorten material delays

Getting the house done in the time they estimated

Several major mistakes in construction (framed wrong back side) all corrected but caused delays . Great construction manager. Luv the finished product . Paint and trim work was great. Responsive to any repair requests.

Sales, building people were great. The mortgage people were also good to work with. But the underwriter for the mortgage was a big sxxxx ox bxxxx. I would never deal with Del Webb or Pulte for a mortgage or any other products again.
