Del Webb Reviews

We spent quite a bit of time reviewing floor plans and options so were prepared when It was time to make decisions and order options. I highly recommend that anyone considering purchasing a home from Del Wood invest the time to do this. It made everything go much more smoothly.

Great people and service throughout the building of my new home in Sun City, Texas. I gave mostly 5 ratings, but did give a 4 rating in 3 categories and here’s why: QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS: - supply chain issues delayed completion of my house by almost 6 months. This was NOT Pulte’s fault but was very frustrating. -so many different people were in and out, working on the different aspects of my home. I did periodic checkups throughout the building and several times the issue had to be re-done again, sometimes more than once. However, my Field Manager, Edward Huncherick, was on top of it EVERY SINGLE time I called him. He and my Sales Rep, Jim Lanier, deserve ALL the credit for how much I am loving enjoying my new home. VALUE FOR YHE PRICE PAID -Again, I gave a 4 instead of a 5, and again, I do not hold Pulte responsible. I just think the entire realty market is out-of-control and houses are overpriced. VALUE FOR THE PRICE PAID: -This goes along with the comment directly above. I know if I were to walk into the sales office today and contracted the EXACT same house, land plot and options/ upgrades, it would cost me approximately $90000 more, so that looks like EXCELLENT VALUE. However, because of that out-of-control market I mentioned, hopefully that value will hold and maybe increase more, but there’s no way of knowing unless I sell. Regardless of my lower ratings in the three categories, I LOVE my new house and the 55+ community lifestyle and amenities. Probably one of the smartest moves I’ve ever made!!! I recommend Sun City very strongly!!! ... More

We tried to buy at Pulte DWRM in phase 2 a couple years back, started the contract process on our lot only to be told we had to be married to purchase. Later we were told this was not true. I fell that we were discriminated because of being a bi-racial gay couple. We finally purchased in phase 6 this year after several friends of ours moved in. My partner is a person of color and was never treated very kindly.

Overall it was a good experience starting with Danelle on the purchase and the Dexter with the walk through. We understand that you have a cleaning company clean but think they should probably do the cleaning closer to move in day. We have watched other house’s get cleaned and then workers are in and out leaving doors open for hours.

Overall home construction very good. Finish work lacks craftsmanship and attention to detail. Warranty service department did provide us with good customer service with the issues identified after the final walk through. Warranty service call technicians very professional, arrived on time and fixed all of the identified issues.

Lisa was fabulous to work with. She was very knowledgeable, easy to work with and accommodating. Robert was a fantastic project manager.

I would not wish anyone to have to go through a home buying experience in an over 55 community like we just have! The whole process was poor but like a lot of people we were caught up in the boom market which builders have capitalized on. Eventually we moved into our new home 7 months after our scheduled time. Overall the design is very poor and lacking basic understanding of the age and stage of who they are building for!

This experience was one of the most stressful things we have been through. The only person I would give a 5 star to was our saleperson Brendan. He was fabulous. He tried to help out on many different occasions getting us in touch with the right poeple. We closed in September and there are still so many issues they are addressing and fixing. At one point I wanted to stand out front of Dell webb with a sign that said don't buy here. I really think our problems stemmed from our Construction manager. Our customer care rep Mike is helpful with trying to resolve all of our issues. The contractors who are fixing all of the issues are doing a great job. The community is awesome though. The people are extremely friendly and the clubhouse is outstanding. ... More

many good options to choose from

Disappointed with inability to make changes, even very early on (within a week of contract signing). We wanted to add a standard option and it could not be done. Rushed feeling at walk throughs. Too many problems to enumerate at first walk thru, final walk thru was rushed - under one hour. Should be able to make a 'punch list' of things needing correction over at least a month after moving in. It is impossible to see everything that is wrong during a rushed 'walk thru'. Yes we understand the warranty process which is over the first year, but obvious problems should be corrected quickly after moving in. Construction manager and sales people are very nice and helpful, but they are constrained by Del Webb / Pulte procedures. ... More

To long to build house poor workmanship

It was strange buying something as intense as a house on line but the people here at Del Webb Lake Oconee were amazing. All concerns were immediately addressed and resolved and they sent weekly pictures of each phase of construction. Did I mention how wonderful all the people in this community are?

It was unfortunate that Berkeley County caused delays in issuing Permission to Occupy permits. This resulted in extensive delays for home owners to move into their homes. Del Webb continued to manage this issue and was very responsive to inquiries as to when the issue would be resolved.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the home I bought. My biggest issue was the cleanliness of the home, after closing on the house and entering it for the first time. I was expecting a WOW factor, but instead, I came into a not so clean house!!! I won't get into all of the issues, but there were a few other issues with the house, that is taking a lot longer than expected! I think the overall workmanship of the house is fine, but it's the cosmetics of the house that is frustrating. Hopefully they'll get things taken care of soon, finish up other properties around me, and get the community center up and running, and things well be looking better. The only other thing is, there's lots of construction going on, and there's trucks coming and going all the time, so noise could be a factor for a few years! Lots of homes going up! ... More

Pulte's Build Quality Process sounds good if it were followed. Their top priority is getting the home closed and not the quality. Even with paying for top tier upgrade options, the materials and workmanship are substandard. We closed the last week of September, here it first week in November... and we are dealing with 1800 sq feet of tile re-grout, walls and baseboards repairs/ painting, cabinets issues, and a shower floor re-do. We are living in the home in the middle of all this ... and haven't fully unpacked and we delayed furniture deliveries until these are completed. Thier Warranty Customer Care service is painful ....poor process and communications leading to delays and miscommunication to vendors. Unfortunately, customer care managers are not a truly a customer advocate as they abide by Pulte rules such as the motto ....if you can't see it from 4 feet away or in certain lighting .... it's not an issue. The Warranty Customer Care service is a false sense of assurance when you go to close. They'll address the issues .. but how long and at who's level of quality? ... More

Very poor quality and workmanship. We've found so many things that weren't properly finished so that they would last for the life of the house. We were sold on the model but found it substandard to the impression created.

I was fine with the experience until we closed on the home. We got to the house and it was very obvious that the house was not cleaned. I had to vacuum/sweep the entire house and the screened porch. My husband has continued to find various things like nails, cigarette butts, old cups, plastic spoons and various trash around the outside of the property. We did not have that sign stating it is a private residence placed in our yard like the other homes on our block. There were drips of paint on the bathroom high window, the garage windows. There was a long strip of leftover wood on the floor behind our stove. My husband had to break off a nail that was in the bathroom cabinet that was sticking out. Our gas was turned on but the valve outside had to be turned on. We put the heat on and the stove and nothing came through. My husband had to do what should have been done before we closed. Very disappointed that at the end, there were so many issues. It leaves a bad taste in our mouths. You pay a good deal of money for this home and to have it end like this was very disappointing. ...

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. ...

Everyone involved in the process from beginning to end made the purchase a pleasure. From the sales associate to the title company and escrow officers to the reps who handle construction issues, all were extremely responsive and professional in answering questions and fixing any issues.

The house is/was as expected. We have had an issue with the Oven Microwave unit. Oven does not heat above 260 degrees and we anticipate receiving a replacement on 11/14/22 which is 58 days form our move in date of 9/22/22. I asked our construction manager for paint codes, exact color or interior touchup paint and never received s response. I also asked for the trash cans for the trash cabinet to which there has been no response. We finally located the correct size and bought them ourselves. The sod we received was infested with grubs and bugs and we have had to resod the lawn. Otherwise we love the house. ... More

Our first new home buying experience in 35 years. Supply chain issues delayed our delivery dateThere are always issues with any new build, but in our case they have been minor. Billy, Justin and Zach were very responsive to our needs. Several amenities with this 55+ community have yet to be built. We did purchase the home when they first came on the market and have seen appreciation of our home price. Our sales rep Devon has been great and very responsive even after our closing.

Our salesperson Zac was extremely knowledgable about the build process. While we never met our build super, the young men from Las Vegas were very helpful during this process. The title company personnel, Sandra and Christine, were amazingly helpful throughout the process to ensure we went from our original Del Webb home to our new Del Webb seamlessly. We love our new home!

We're happy for the most part with our purchase. There is buyer's remorse when it comes to having some of the warranty work scheduled as well as the amount of items that needed to be addressed. That said, the workers who do come out for the vendors are very good thus far. Some of the work has a shoddy quality to it. There was also a lack of care to protect flooring during work with paint, etc. left on the floors for us to clean or try to clean off. We do love the Brickstone Club amenity center and happy hours. Plus not having to do yard work or snow shoveling is great. The 55+ community is wonderful here. ... More

Leeah is ok Sebastian is useless we moved in Aug 8. It’s been 3 months and issues have not been fixed. The window in the third bedroom will not lock and is loose there was a break in and we can’t secure our home. The island was placed in the wrong place good thing we are small so we can open the refrigerator. The window in the 3rd bedroom is wider at the bottom than the top so I can’t put a shade in. I would not recommend del Webb there are more issues and most have been addressed at the first walkthrough and only a few have been fixed. It is very disappointing this is my first new house and it’s not how I thought the experience would be ... More

We were especially pleased with our del webb sales person Dustin and with our final construction manager Matt.
