Del Webb Reviews

Caryn E was our sales representative and was with us through the entire process. We where relocating from the North East and she kept us informed on EVERYTHING

We are pleased with our experience with the staff at Del Webb Oak Creek. This is our second experience with buying and building a home via Del Webb and its builder, Pulte Construction. The process to buy a lot, customize the home and build is challenging enough but the sales person was great at communicating from beginning to closing.

My construction manager, Allie, was always availablle to assist me and explain any problems that popped up.

For the most part the home is good, like any new construction build there are issues to resolve. The builder puts in a very good effort to resolve any and all issues. The value (price to product) is average but to be expected in these escalating cost times. Final feedback cannot be given until ALL issues are resolved as there are still one or two issues unresolved nearly 2 months after closing. I do have confidence however they will not let them go unchecked.

The buying process is good. The quality is average. Workers aren’t the best craftsmanship. There are things they should have done for the cost. For example sealing the grout, top coat on epoxy garage floor we paid extra for. They don’t do the clear coat. Major issues were fixed with no questions asked.

All in all a positive experience. Disappointed that we were not provided hurricane impact windows. Closed with two broken windows - repair person came but did not fix bathroom window based upon anticipated rain but has not yet rescheduled. Other window in flex room requires our shutters to be removed first.

During the building process, we had problems with communication. Improvements can be within the Pulte organization and the home buyer. Be patient, persistent and document. We believe their intent is build a good home.

We are very happy with our home and the experience. Carlos was a great project manager, he kept us informed and he quickly addressed any issues.

The Estate series home which we had built at Del Webb Trinity Falls has good bones (a well engineered foundation, good framing, plumbing and electrical). The fit and finish work on our new home met our expectations.

The process of building, my home was very good. Keith, Sales, and TJ building superintend, were outstanding because of their responsiveness , and knowledge. On the other hand, I was very disappointed in Pulte offerings. Although home prices looked reasonable to begin with as it turns out, there are very few opportunities to upgrade, such as lighting fixtures, flooring, paint, etc. so therefore, once I moved in, I had to pay to get what I wanted in the first place. Also, some of the workmanship could have been better. For example, many areas in the home had glue on the flooring, which had not been cleaned up. Also something is seriously wrong with the paint in some areas. It is extremely sticky even after two months. Overall, I am pleased with my home, but caution anyone getting ready to purchase that you’re going to have to put money into the home if you want anything upgraded , additionally, some things aren’t even provided such as towel racks with the excuse that buyers don’t like where Pulte was installing them ...

Material quality used by DelWebb is very good. Even the standard options are great brands. Workmanship was sporadic. Many of the contractors were incompetent, while some were excellent. This made for a diverse experience when a top-quality component was installed by an incompetent worker. I was satisfied with the companies response to fixing issues, most of the people were responsive. I was a nuisance to have workers continually coming the the house to repair things that should have been done correctly in the first place. However, all issues were addressed in a reasonable time. Overall, the community and house construction is excellent. The variability in working skill level was the major reason for build flaws. Although frustrating, the issue of finding skilled labor is just a fact of life. ... More

Enjoyed working with Ericka and Chris. Both were very helpful and informative.

During build DW (Pulte) was responsive, we had several 3rd party inspections, all issues were addressed. At closing many items which could have been dismissed, were corrected. Everything great through closing. After closing a few unidentified issues arose, the response is not as great. The build manager did a few things, but warranty department simply does not reply. So be as detailed and vigilant as possibly before closing.

I am very pleased with my home. Be aware that the buyer has zero say so on landscaping. You are allowed to make multiple decisions and give input on your home, but you have no input on your landscape. You have to wait till you move in and request HOA approval before you can replace anything. My yard was full of small holes, very uneven. Landscaping was and still is a disappointment.

All in all, we are very pleased with our new home! The only negative thing I can say is that, one, the tile laying of the backsplash and windowsill in the kitchen does not look very professional. Two, the placing of the sod, the lawn is very lumpy and uneven, bad for the ankles of older folks like us..

Great place to live, friendly people

Our project manager Max was the best part of our experience. We had issues when we first moved in and Max and the warranty department have been great. I think some of the subcontractors work was done poorly, maybe rethink who you use. I would have rather waited a month more to move in if the finisIhed product was done better. We still after a month have some issues that need to be resolved and I am sure that before the year is done we will have more. I would like to have another chance to write a review after our year walk through.

First, our Construction Manager did a great job of keeping us informed weekly of the progress on the house. When problems arose, he let us know and resolved the issues promptly. He was pleasant to deal with. He actually identified a problem that many people would not have caught. It was fixed although it delayed closing by a week. He also informed us about problems with the glue that was used on the cabinets. As a result, we have to have 80% of the cabinets replaced. Scheduled for June 26. We have asked that the cabinet company provide us with a food allowance for the time we will be unable to use the kitchen. We did have problems with the construction manager not responding to numerous texts about two issues we needed resolved. We sent him 8 texts in May and never received a response. We finally sent an email to our Customer Care person about the problems. That afternoon our construction manager stopped by. We discussed the issue and he claimed he never received any of the texts except on May 1 when we first identified the problem. If in fact he isn’t receiving texts from buyers, someone needs to figure out what happened immediately. One of the issues it still outstanding and we need it resolved immediately. Our construction manager advised he would have the plumber to the house next week. One other issue we discovered after closing. The framers did a poor job framing the master bathroom. The walls are not square. Also, the closet in the den/office was not square so they covered it up by putting shoe molding over the area where it was not square. We are hoping that the cabinet issue will be resolved and we get the kitchen and cabinets we paid for. I don’t hold Pulte responsible for the underlying issue but will hold them accountable for how they handle the “fix”. ... More

Expect delays unfortunately sales said one thing. Reality was very different

We would highly recommend both Vicky and Austin. Vicky not only spent days showing us but our family, the homes and our options. She was there every step in the process. She answered our questions in a timely manner. We lived in another state during the building process and Vicky would email us photos. Vicky is caring and dedicated not only for Del Webb but for you as a homebuyer. We had Austin, as our Building Manager. Austin made sure everything was done when it was suppose to be done. Austin also responded to questions we had within a day or two. He also keep us updated with steps that we needed to address. Austin not only wants to make sure the quality is there for the builder but for you as a homeowner. ... More

I appreciated the effort the sales representative made in my home-buying experience. I initially placed a contract on a home that I could not purchase due to the high-interest rate. Christopher was great in helping to find another home in DWB that met my needs and suited my budget. After I closed, I was frustrated with addressing issues with my home. The repairs are perhaps minor, but I'm disappointed that these things were overlooked before closing. I share some responsibility as my walk-thru revealed some issues, but others weren't as readily noticeable. I am going through the process of submitting work orders, but I feel that some items resulted from rushing to complete the home. ... More

The stepped process of building our house allowed us to feel comfortable with the progress and plan well for move in time. Our building manger was very informative at the inspections and responsive to questions and requests that we had.

We were kept informed the entire time. Final walk through did feel a bit rushed and found numerous items after move in that will have to address at 1 year. Being remote it was still great to see progress being made and delivery was right about what we expected. Couple of items on the electrical/low voltage were ok’d but not documented so when it was time the company did not deliver, but our mistake for not documenting it.

Thus far, I love my home and somewhat disappointed. When I first visited the site. I liked it very much. There was natural vegetation which provided some privacy in the backyard. Upon meeting with Kenny, Construction Manager, at the site there was a worker destroying the vegetation bringing in topsoil for all the houses being built. Kenny said that the vegetation would be replaced. It has not been replaced! There was some damage done to the house while being built. I notified Landon and I wanted the items replaced and not patched. It was patched and not very good initially. It is still noticeable to me. So, trustworthiness… ... More

The end result was very good, a few minor issues during the process. There are only two lasting negatives. 1.The inability to have the house oriented as desired, (front door facing neighbors front door instead of front door facing the ugly side of neighbors home replete with gas, water heater and other mechanical items), is undesirable, and seeming to be something that could be addressed without issue and clearly possible since my desired orientation exists elsewhere in the community. 2. Forced acceptance of undesirable design elements. a- Stepped kitchen wall cabinets instead of a straight run, b- Pull out garbage several cabinets away from the sink, c- limited options on range hood, d- using 9” and 18” cabinets on either side of the range hood instead of balancing them and using a narrow base pullout on the side of the stove to balance the base cabinets on either side of the stove. I found everyone I met during the construction to be friendly, eager to help and ,eventually responsive. ... More
