Del Webb Reviews

Home took longer to complete than anticipated due to lack of materials available and shortage of workers.

Angela sales rep was great. Overall, quality is marginal. Tile floor has holes, defects. I have a major gopher issue ruining my yard. No window screens, scratched dishwasher, sewage backed up in my shower and tub the first week due to cleaners flushing cleaning cloths. Outdoor landscaping is minimal with huge chunks of bark mulch looks very cheap. Had screened lanai added, they put screen door directly in my view and not to the side like the model. Keep finding damage everywhere, the contractors were obviously very careless. Warranty guy has been trying to help,

Look through everything know everything about your lot and any impact you will have with on going construction. Storage of equipment, materials etc. You will live with many inconveniences for potentially years. Get some compensation up front for it.

Excellent experience with sales person and very good with construction supervisor. House seems to be well built both foundation and structurally. Fit and finish below average with excessive issues on drywall work and poor quality painting. Also substandard cabinetry and engineered wood flooring. Had several instances of subcontractors damaging concrete, windows, walls, cabinets and countertops. Pulte Construction follow up is okay, but punch list items are many more than we expected.

Supply chain issues and lack of qualitied craftsmen, significantly impacted the Pulte quality home that was advertised. But overall, if a home buyer is proactive and ungauged, the home is sound.

Overall we had a good experience with this builder, with the exception that there could have been better communications on the progress, as promised, and the quality of workman ship didn't meet the standards they were advertising when we purchased.

Love our new home, but have found several workmanship issues. I have been told that we should have had an independent inspection prior within ten days of taking possession. I'm hoping to have our issues resolved soon, but according to neighbors, it will take several months.

Del Webb/Pulte does some things very well, some things not so much. Overall, I’m satisfied.

The QC of the workmanship should be much better then it is for the price point.

While the people who work for Del Webb are top notch, and the houses look nice, the materials are cheap and the quality is not very good. The walls are so thin I can hear everything in my house from everywhere, which limits privacy. The paint job on the interior and exterior is also very low quality and will require me to repaint too soon.

There were a lot of minor workmanship issues with our home. Contractors have had to come back and fix a lot of small things. I believe it may be that the builder was putting up so many home in such a short time that contractors were rushing to get everything done. To their credit, the builder has been easy to work and responsive with in getting issues resolved. We are in a new development and communication could be slightly better for approximate timelines on certain completion items as we want to add a patio but need better timelines on when sod/irrigation/landscaping will be done before we can start project. ...

The cabinet people had to come up many times to fix the cabinets as they kept falling apart front door had to be fixed because it would not close unless it was locked one of the closet doors was cut wrong Sliding glass door did not work properly had to come out and repaint numerous times what is the date for the end started dying the builder was not very good to work with

Sales agent Kit was excellent and trustworthy. Construction manager continued to promise follow-up on missing parts but was not truthful in his responses. Managers did not provide feedback. Once Christopher took over thinks moved quickly. However many items were overlooked before closing that were not discovered until move-in. Have not heard from anyone on checklist items still pending after closing. Sewage backup due to dirt in lines, which is preventable. Pulte Mortgage was terrific.

My wife and I are very happy to have moved into our beautiful new home. We love the community and amenities. The sales team did a great job walking us through the purchase and interior customization process. We had a number of delays with construction but the team did a good job keeping us up to date on status and our home was completed quicker than friends having new construction with other builders. The main place I would urge caution is with resolution of issues. Looking back, I would have had a professional home inspection performed to document issues. Three months after closing we still have open issues that were identified prior to our close. Nothing major, just frustrating and no sense of urgency. ... More

Although they were generally very responsive during the building phase, they failed to notice a number of poor workmanship issues and serious mistakes (i.e. incorrect hose bib placement and others) until it became a challenge to fix them. Since we've been in the house, responsiveness has dropped off somewhat. It's taking more time to get to issues that are raised and I'd like to see more of a sense of urgency to our requests. I also believe that, that given the price of the house there could have been some higher end components. The windows in particular are very low quality and should have been better. ... More

Many unsolved issues Cheap quality doors & windows , not sealed properly, sand coming of all the windows & sliding door, I have sand everywhere even in my bed. Very disappointed

The buying experience was very good. Our sales agent and Design Center consultant were very helpful. What’s been a disappointment is the after move in service. We feel the home was rushed to close when it clearly needed more time to complete. Therefore we have to take time off from work to meet the several workmen that are scheduled to come over weekly to repair or finish the job and most have not been showing up at all.

The length of time from purchase to settlement was months to long and and promised delivery was delayed months (not all Covid related). Baseboard, bathroom floor and kitchen backsplash were all installed with wrong product causing delays. Overall the finishing work was sloppy (plaster not cleaned up, paint spills on title floors, windows not properly cleaned. Most disappointed with the finished product (we have purchased 5 new homes prior to this one and one of those was a Pulte home).

Our sales representative was great and helped tremendously. Our project manager was average at best and lacked construction experience but his supervisor and the warranty team stepped up. Would I buy again the answer is yes!

Dana F. was our project manager, he was great! Very professional and knowledgeable. The house had damage to it before we moved in but it was pretty close to perfect by the time we moved in, I thank Dana for that. All in all in todays environment wasn't a totally bad experience.

Overall given the labor and supply shortages we are satisfied with our home. One big issue we have is from when they did stucco for the home except for the area around the sliding glass door and kitchen window because those windows were delayed and they wanted to move forward with construction. We were concerned if the stucco around the missing areas would blend if it was done later. We were assured it would and you wouldn't see a difference. That is not the case you can easily see the difference and even though they tried to work on it after it is still very noticeable that the stucco around the SGD does not match the rest of the wall on the back. Frustrating and disappointing because we paid a lot of money for a new home so it would look new and not like something had been repaired and didn't match. On a positive note, our Construction Mgr. communicated with us throughout the entire process and always answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We have built several homes and he was one of the best CMs we had. ... More

Jake was available and did professional walk thru. All defects were corrected in a timely manner.

We for the most part are pleased with our home, it’s amenities and location. There are still many unresolved issues and appointments to resolve cabinet concerns, carpet stains have not been honored. Waiting around for no shows has been very discouraging. Grading evaluations are pending as well as window alignment and truss gusset repair.

The sales and finance people did a great job. My home builder John was on top of things, but there were several issues that needed to be addressed after closing which were poor workmanship by the subs. With what we paid for this home I believe the subs should be held to a higher standard.

The Pulte contract allows them to make changes and buyer can't object, but buyer can't ask for any changes unless it is listed in the available options.
