Del Webb Reviews

It was down to the wire that my house was ready but it did close on time. The people I worked with were great and it was an easy experience. I have not been impressed with the quality of products used to build the house. I don’t think they are quality that the price of the house should warrant. I have had a horrible experience with my side yard. There is a drainage problem and it stays wet on that side and my side is totally wrecked due to the mowers going through it which has created huge ruts. I have been promised it will be corrected and I hope that it is corrected properly. I also have not been pleased with the landscaping. Plants are not buried deep enough and the red clay shows. Weed control has not been good. There are a lot of very unattractive poles and other items sticking out of the ground. And was told they would be removed. I know this sounds negative and I am serious about the complaints; however, I love my house and am happy here. People are very nice and friendly. ... More

I am confident the home is built well. Quality products appear to be used. I don't like 2x4s used for joists. They should always be 2x6. Their quality of workmanship for simple things is lacking, like paint splatter, grout splaters, cement splattered all over, terrible acid washing of the brick, and the quality of sod is not good, very weedy. What really gets me is Pulte's lack of going a little extra for someone in a wheelchair. They refused to make the steps in the back a ramp so there is only one emergency escape route for a wheelchair user. Also a refusal to leave off a shower door so wheelchair users could not even use the shower when they moved in. A rod and curtain would have been fine. ... More

We felt like everything was overpriced especially for the quality of the work done. The construction mgr has been great getting things scheduled to be replaced, repainted, re-sanded, etc. The problem with that is A LOT of the problems should have been done correctly to begin with. The paint job done by the initial painters was horrible - missed tons of areas on the outside and the trim and doors all have to be sanded and repainted, tons of caulking needs to be done also. We love Sun City Hilton Head and the people we have met already.

T.J. was great to work with as was Nikke however I think Pulte really needs to evaluate some of the sub-contractors. If you really want to build a god home everyone that works on the home MUST have the desire to build a quality home!

The finish work of the home is not of the quality that we would have expected. we had four cracked floor tiles that needed to be replaced but the replacement tiles are now floating (not tight to the sub floor). We have had to repaint almost all the trim and do a lot of touch up paint. Just a lot of tick tacky things but they add up!

I closed on July 19th shortly after moving in fobs not working to building security. The building foyer is not complete. With Del Webb’s reputation I expected a quick response to things broken or unfinished.

Need more information regarding items to fix.

Pretty responsive to issues and questions we had.

For someone that has worked selling materials to custom builders for over 40 years my house was built as I expected

Initial planning experience went very smoothly. However material shortages, labor issues and often poor communication resulted in construction taking over 14 months for completion. Some issues are still not done after closing. Quality builder like Pulte should not have this many issues. Overall pleased with final product, yet still waiting for some problems to be corrected.

Somewhat disappointed with the lack of craftmanship / workmanship in our new home. From the general lack of cleanliness upon receipt to sloppy paint / drywall finishing and trim work, the level of quality did not match our expectations. Both the pre-walk review & the pre-closing review were too short in duration to adequately identify and address all issues. Quality needs to be built-in, by the individuals performing the task, not inspected in / reworked after the fact. It is clear that not all the Pulte vendors take ownership for the quality of their work.

Construction manager was easy to work with and listened to our concerns. Found the sales process to be questionable in that not all options were reviewed or explained well. Definite misunderstandings in the design phase. Some areas had construction changes that were not part of the original specifications and not covered with us. Took some negotiation to get what we needed and what our floor plan showed. Quality in some areas is questionable. So far the warranty process is working well and the individuals have been very helpful. Love the community.

Pulte builds a quality home but doesn’t finish it off with quality. Finish paint, door operation, caulking leaves something to be desired. Warranty response is slow and incomplete, leaving owner doubtful that problems will get resolved.

Very nice experience, Members of the Del Webb team were responsive and helpful. Very few wrinkles in the whole process.

Took way too long for completion.

While we love this beautiful community full of excellent amenities, purchasing a home during the pandemic proved challenging due to supply chain issues and a shortage of skilled laborers. Our selection of choices during our extremely short time given with the interior designer was marginal at best and we found our inability to change our mind about anything once leaving that appointment distasteful. Our purchase and building experience was long distance so we had little choice but to rely on Del Webb communications to keep us informed of our progress. Thankfully both our sales representative and building manager were good communicators who worked together to keep us up to speed. All and all despite minor bumps here and there, we are generally quite happy with our new home and are looking forward to enjoying this wonderful community. ... More

Sales office was a great experience. Design center is after contract signed. Standard options are limited. Upgrades cost a lot and really add up. Tile work and painting in DWCE is not great. Plan to have done again within 2 years, especially outside. Have a beautiful premium lot but builder did not plant on green space at back of lot that is covered with very tall weeds. Unsightly and disappointed in that. Builder Manager Austin was great to work with. Communication at least weekly during build was impressive. Punch list not too long.

This was my first experience in new build. It took 10 months. The final “aha” walking in the door to see the end result was surreal. Looking forward to living in a new community.

The setting and design is lovely offering many comforts for an aging community. Meetings with Debbie were productive and enjoyable. A woman’s jewel and focus is a home’s kitchen. My “upgrade 4” kitchen, is no gem. Installed is a Whirlpool refrigerator, Kitchen Aid range, Jenn Air dishwasher with contrasting stainless steel fronts and handles — whatever was available prior to closing. The cupboard that holds the Kitchen Aid microwave was damaged when installed as was an expensive pendant light. The 30-day walkthrough Josh offered has never been scheduled and I settled mid-June.

As first time having a home built we found the process in purchasing the home went very smoothly. The home was finished pretty much on schedule. What we found was that the painting and finishing touches. Overall a good experience.

We went through four different construction managers of which Joel was by far the best. He communicated issues whether it was good or bad news Our house sat for 60 days with no work done. Very frustrating. We have not completed our list of items to be fixed due to being out of town. We are back now and will pursuit these items.

Beautiful home. But poor quality paint used, roof leak after first monsoon. Still to be repaired.

We felt good at first blush but not after moving into the house. As an aside, the house was overpriced as was the lot. Sign of the times!! General quality and fit and finish was disappointing. The house was dirty at move in and not move in ready at all. We had to call in cleaning teams to do interior and exterior cleaning to before we could completely move in. The quality control was far below our expectations. Apparently far too many houses are currently under construction for supervisors to adequately police the workers. Sales and warranty staff (Jim, Jennifer and Ashley) were excellent!! Megan our real estate agent was wonderful. We are repeat Pulte customers. We love Del Webb living but were quite disappointed with the fit and finish and cleanliness of our new house. Frankly, we gave our construction supervisor a good rating before we had time to thoroughly inspect the condition of our home. The Del Webb at LWR is a beautiful development overall. But for the price we paid we expected a better quality build. PS: The dishwasher broke after one wash and the pool and spa were very dirty as were the wall to wall rugs in two rooms. There was a lot of interior construction dirt. Bottom of door wood trim was shabby in several rooms. Need I say more? Pulte really needs to tighten up on quality control. We really love our new house now that it is cleaned up. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. ... More

Computer skills needs to be pretty good. Serious home inspection needs to take place. Del Webb employees and consultants including the financial personnel are very courteous.

We will recommend this community to our friends, but buying during a pandemic turned out to be something to avoid if possible. We look forward to living in and enjoying the community.
