Del Webb Reviews

You would think after 13 and a half months of waiting we would of had a better quality house to deliver. So far they have had to rip out the quest bathroom floor, the laundry room floor, replace the master bath vanity and after a full month of living here we still are not complete. They have to replace a patio that is already cracking and mirror as well as many smaller items. The only saving grace is our 4th manager, James he really has tried to rustle the trades together to get us done. Unfortunately we are in what the call warranty so we have become third class passenger on the Titanic and we all know how that ends. We are here now and are making the best of the situation, would I do it again knowing what I know now, HELL NO its just a over priced tract home with absolutely no attention to detail. This is not my first rodeo buying a house but the overall lack of communication and poor quality control is by far the worse experience I have ever had building a house. ... More

I did not realize how energy efficient a home could be until now…

Simply put, glad this experience is over.

Average builder, managers do not pay on details, poor communications from both.

Very sloppy attention to details. Cracked bath tub. Window that falls out of frame. Warped door. Cracked trim. Large, unsealed gaps in baseboards. GFCIs that constantly trip and won’t reset for days. Huge gap between ceiling and cooktop vent shroud. Cracking concrete. And on and on.

Our home was completed three months later than promised and over the course of the building process kept getting pushed back so that I had to reschedule our movers three times. While our construction manager was wonderful, the communication within Pulte was very poor. We received the wrong house keys at closing, our trash cans did not arrive for 6 weeks, we had no mail service to our home for over two weeks because of a nonfunctional mailbox. The mailboxes were not even installed for more than a week after settlement and after that there was still no mail service. Two months prior to closing, our refrigerator arrived with dented doors and they were not replaced until six weeks after closing due to communication issues within the Pulte organization. We do love our home and our neighbors, however. The building process, though, was frustrating and not buyer friendly. Pulte really needs to improve its communication among its own departments! One hand of Pulte does not seem to know what the other hand is doing and the buyer suffers. ... More

my experience from the beginning to closing of escrow were good. People I dealt with answered my questions and were pleasant .

We are very pleased with our new home. It is everything and more than we expected.

I waited a year to close on my home in DW-LWR and it was worth the wait! Pulte was very attentive in addressing any construction or warranty issues. It's a beautiful setting with lots of activities to choose from and very pleasant neighbors to socialize with. I'm happy to have found my dream home!

We love living in Dell Webb and our experience in building with Pulte was smooth. Our sales coordinator (Dana T.) was special, as was our building project manager ( Foster).

The community, location and amenities are fantastic. Quality of workmanship and materials should be a separate category. The things in the home that take it from ok to great are missing. The build process interspersing location of builds and completions could be better. A new owner should not be put into a mindset of having to worry about what might go wrong hearing and seeing what your neighbors are experiencing.

I was familiar with Pulte prior to purchasing so I had no hesitation deciding on Del Webb. Being a realtor myself, I appreciated the salesman’s help and quick responses to my questions. The construction manager kept in touch with weekly updates and customer service has also responded in a timely manner.

Both our sales representative and project manager were very helpful and responsive with all of our questions and concerns. The home came out beautiful but did have several items that needed to be corrected after closing. All of which are being addressed with no hassle. Workmanship was very good and and finish was above average.

Love our new home, floor plan is awesome community is amazing and Project managers for our build were excellent

Catherine was great to work with, so knowledgeable and professional.

Over all the process was easy and professional! From sales… to design center… to construction… and closing. Would highly recommend Del Webb homes!

The mortgage process was very difficult.

Pretty good buying experience completed on time

From the preview of the model all the way to closing we had awesome experience. Sales staff and our construction manager very professional and knowledgeable. Always willing to answer any questions we had. The build quality of our home was great. Community director and HOA really doing everything to keep residents happy and entertaining.

Our project manager Will and his crew were outstanding to work with.

Never again Worst builder ever

Thank you for a lovely house. It is strange that you supply us with paperwork urging us to use a ph neutral cleaner on our grout and floors BUT then we find that your final clean-up crew does not use these type of cleaners. Being on the same page would make sense ( at least to us ). AND the carelessness of your painters would have also helped. We eventually had to do the "final" floor cleaning ourselves ( with the proper cleaner ). We have nothing in writing BUT we were told that "eventually" we would have our window screens. It would be nice to air out the house, so I hope this is true ( eventually ).The absence of product brochures is annoying and more care should be given to make sure these are supplied. for every product supplied, We do feel that the overall quality of the home is apparent and we are happy with our purchase. ...

The security and lighting in the community is excellent. The personnel at the clubhouse working in restaurant/bar area are very personable. Alot of great activities.

I purposely start my review by recognizing two Pulte employees: our construction manager, Brian, and Pam, our customer service representative. Pulte is fortunate in being able to employ such professionals- we were fortunate to have worked with them during the construction and post construction process, as per: Because we weren’t present during a majority of the construction phase, Brian was our key contact in regularly providing updates, photographs and by being immediately responsive to questions we had along the way. He couldn’t have done a better job filing his position as construction manager during the entire process. He was our advocate. Post closing, we had a significant construction set back requiring Pam to step in as Pulte’s representative in returning the house to its original state. Pulte, through Pam, never hesitated in providing the labor, material and financial resources to get the job done in a very timely manner so we could occupy the home. Truly exemplary customer service by Pulte in general and by a capable, knowledge and pleasant professional in particular. As for Pulte and specifically Del Webb Nocatee, we recognize these are difficult times with well reported difficult issues for builders and home buyers. As we, along others experienced, there were delays in construction due to unavoidable labor and material shortages, frenetic market activity and in some cases quality workmanship issues likely due to a lack of skilled labor. I specially mention interior trim work and interior painting. A limited summary breakdown ( builder and up grade materials): PROs: kitchen appliances, bath fixtures, flooring ( tile, carpet, vinyl), cabinets, floor plan, yard/landscape, pavers, master bath shower, tubs, customer service, over- all building experience and the beauty of the community CONs: majority of the interior trim, wallboard taping and painting; upgraded “drop zone” and other expensive upgraded items of questionable value and quality; sloppy electrical work ( outlets); inflexibility in making design changes. CONCLUSION: What it all breaks down to is knowing what we now know would we make the same buying decision-the answer is yes (although noting we have only been here two months). Some limited advice includes working closely with your construction manager; know that all your expectations will not be realized due to unforeseen circumstances; that your home is a customized home not a custom home; and that your purchase will be expensive considering the combined base cost of the home, lot cost and items you may select from the Design Center where you will work with the capable and pleasant Priya. ...

John G. in sales is the one person that made this experience enjoyable. He returned or texted me back in a timely manner. When we had a concern, he would look into it and again in a timely manner respond back. The neighbors are wonderful and very helpful as well.
