Del Webb Reviews

I was suppose to get a 3.99 % fixed rate which t the builder did not honor it was very dishonest, did not honor and give me the home loan rate as promised at the time of purchase ?

Don't care about quality. Bad craftsmanship it's a shame

Buying was great. Quality of workmanship was very bad and many repairs are needed. Despite these issues, I like the house and am glad I moved here.

Its too early to rate quality and value. Trustworthiness is low as our field manager disappeared and would not return calls or texts. Other neighbors have the same experience so that tells us that management instructs the FM's to ignore calls and therefore you get an F in responsiveness. We still do not have screens for the windows, some of the vegetation in front is already dying (not sure if its a sprinkler problem?)

Great until we moved, less so since.

Our sales experience was great. Our Sales Manager, Dan, answered all our questions, was responsive and provided us pictures and updates throughout the whole build process. Our Design Center experience was non-personable and felt a little rushed (we finished our consultation an hour early), even though we were very organized and had picked out all our options prior to the meeting. We were not allowed to select our desired our kitchen cabinet handles to match our bathroom handles, even though they were the same cabinets. We asked for an explanation of this during the design consultation as well as a follow up after the consultation, and never received a clear explanation. The strengths of the construction process were that the build was on-time; we received all of our design selections, and the communication was responsive, when we initiated it. While we did not receive the upgraded refrigerator we selected, Del Webb, did provide us with a high-end replacement. While we did not expect perfection in the build process, due to the number of houses being built and the rush to close on our house before year-end, there were a few items not installed (shower enclosures and mirrors), and items that needed to be addressed/corrected. Our build manager Nick, was very responsive and diligent in addressing the major items of concern. While a few items are still pending, we are confident, based on Del Webb’s responsiveness, that these items will be corrected in a timely manner. Overall, we are very happy with our new house and we would recommend Del Webb to new buyers. ... More

Feels more like my entry level home buying experience. Not the same as the Pulte build I had a few years ago in Las Vegas

Never replied to my complaints workmanship was awful . Tile in kitchen coming off they won’t fix lt paint and scratches on floor. Workmanship was awful careless windows were dirty counter tops were not clean of I had it to do. Over l would never buy a dell webb . Would not recommend dell Webb to anyone.

Our second builder, Jason, came on late and has tried his best to rectify several critical issues. He is friendly and has worked admirably to try to help us be satisfied. In our opinion, he is a tremendous employee. Though the materials of our home are what we expected, the overall craftsmanship of our home has been pretty shoddy. That being said it is better than many of our neighbors. It is unfortunate that the builder feels it more important to build as many homes as fast as they can, rather than to take a bit more time to create a quality product. The saving grace are the community amenities, and the wonderful climate. If not for that this would be overpriced and not worth the effort to relocate. ... More

We moved here from the west coast where over the years we had purchased several brand new homes so know what to expect and are familiar with the interactions with builders. This home has a nice layout and great neighborhood but the quality of the build is mediocre at best. The house serves its function of giving us shelter and making us comfortable but it comes with sacrifice of a good quality build. If we had to buy again in this region it probably wouldn’t be here. We paid premium price for average house.

Bought at the height of the market when sales process & lender took buyers for granted. By the time the house was estimated to be done, market had crashed, but the home had still had 2 months + to go before completion. (Wish they'd taken their time to do it right, though!) Kept getting dates shifted for closing, and I was then pressured to close before house was done and all systems connected, let alone finishes done. Pulte declared my home done and ready to close. Had I held out for the finish work to be done, the lender would've cancelled my rate lock. Was invited to two final walkthroughs, but received lame apologies for all the unfinished items both times. Spent the last several months trying to get all the unfinished or rushed items fixed. Home wasn't even livable for the first couple of weeks and dirty interior besides. Multiple visits required to fix the same items. I'd thought Del Webb meant quality instead of slapdash finishes and rude treatment. ... More

Not living up to delivery dates, many delays.

We bought a "spec" house and were able to see everything prior to purchasing the house. Pulte employees have been pleasant however, we notice the warranty dept has been slow to address our issues. Primary issue is the warranty on the HVAC system from Lennox. Our Pulte warranty representative is supposedly Jeff however, he was on vacation thru the holidays and Jim covered us for him. All went well (roof shingles repaired) but when I tried to register our HVAC system I found it was already registered to someone else (name unavailable to me). Jim checked our serial numbers again and they were correct. Both Jim and I emailed Lennox about the issue. Jim tells us that Jeff is still our rep but he is emailing Lennox weekly about the issue on our behalf. So far, we have yet to hear from Jeff. Since HVAC repairs can be pricey & we want to be sure we are covered, I emailed Jim asking that he call Lennox. He emailed stating he would approximately a week ago. So far, we haven't heard the outcome of that call. It is now two months since we closed on this house. Additionally, we received a mailing stating that the warranty on our Kitchen Aid stove expires April 12th, four months after our closing date of Dec 9th. How can this be? Was this also registered to someone else? This doesn't seem right. I hope someone can straighten this out so we don't have to put time and effort into resolving this any longer. Your help is greatly appreciated. ... More

The communications from the Del Webb team through the entire process was good. The quality of the home is great. We did point out a few minor things to our construction manager prior to closing and he had them corrected right away, I would go with Del Webb again.

Had a great experience with Pulte sales dept, design, mortgage and construction. We feel the closing was rushed at end of year and the house fell short of expectations. Several big items were not complete. (i.e no master shower for 2 weeks after closing. ) And evidently noone told the construction crew on the closing date bc the house was wide open when we arrived the next day. And still had debris left on floors and counters, hole in wall where dryer gas line was. Along with other items addressed the week we was also moving in. Warranty advertises a few working days to contact you but it's been over a month and nothing heard. Our first time building and know now we should have been more assertive and direct and pushed closing until everything was complete and to standards. But doesn't eliminate Pulte's responsibility to deliver a finished product either. ... More

Sales coordinator Jill was awesome, workers showed little pride in quality of their work in several areas though construction project manager Jordan communicated well and was somewhat effective in getting problems addressed. Have had poor post close communication and no resolution efforts on any defective work after 45 days since close.

We love our home! It seems like a great place to live in our retirement years.

John did a great job helping us select our lot and floor plan. He answered our questions quickly and made sure we had all our contact names and phone numbers. James our project manager was outstanding. He gave us weekly updates with photographs as well as any upcoming inspections. The finished product was just as we expected. Karen

The selection process is extremely rushed, and you cannot make changes. I had the home inspected, and there was multiple issues on a “completed home”. Construction manager taken off job, and customer service is slow to make needed repairs.

Lots of defects, quality issues. Very disappointed.

Both Mike and Andrew have gone the extra mile in making sure our new home was as complete and comfortable as possible for us upon move in, and beyond move in- we appreciate their time and attention spent getting it right for us!

We were scheduled to close in January 2023, but construction was hurried to close on December 30, 2022; not a very convenient time to close/move. It seems the rush to complete the house in 2022 reduced the quality of workmanship as there were many minor discrepancies that should have been resolved/avoided if more time were permitted for completing the house.

The house was already built so could not get options i would have liked . House should have hose bib in rear standard . The kitchen , master bath , laundry and greatroom very nicey done .

This was so very exciting from the very beginning. Working with Pulte representatives Rachel and Cory was the best experience you could hope for. Working together picking out the options for the home was such a pleasure with these folks. They treat you like you are family and that there’s nothing more important than you are to them. Communications are exceptional. And then there’s the construction. Oh how exciting this is to see your dream home being built piece by piece week after week until it’s completion. Danny the site supervisor has just got to be one of the nicest guys on the planet. He addresses any concerns you have immediately and although I have now closed on my beautiful home he continues to check in. Wow where else can you get a relationship like that??!! These people are now my friends and I am grateful. I can’t thank Pulte enough for having all these fabulous people working for them that treat us so fantastically wonderful. Again, what a great experience!!! Thank you so very much. ... More

I suggest renting in Sun City before you buy. For the transition and timing, we rented for six months before the sale closed. We learned a LOT in the rental about how things worked that we wish we had known when we were making the purchase decision. It all can be overwhelming, determining where to upgrade and where to wait, what kind of lot you'll really be OK with, etc. About two months into the rental we realized there were some things that we did not even know to do that would have made our new home experience significantly better. I'm focusing on what we learned. As for the rest of the experience, the low ratings have more to do with lack of communication, bad information at the beginning (marketing was great; reality was different), design center issues, financing issues (suggest you find your own mortgage company), title challenges, and on and on. If you are used to very high quality materials in your environment you may want to reconsider as you will probably need to upgrade everything after you build. If you are upgrading from a current home and excited to be in Mesquite and live a relaxed, golf cart centric lifestyle, then you are probably in the right place! ... More
