Del Webb Reviews

Jordan did a great job with weekly updates on our process.

Our contractor and community service guy were great but following through with things isn’t their strong point. It seems once the build is over they have so many others to build that new buyers don’t get the attention they deserve. Still waiting to hear about 4 problems. Two quit big and although they came to check it out promised follow through Have yet to be done.

We were very pleased by the way everything was handled during the whole process from the first visit through the closing.

The interface with staff was excellent.

Workmanship could be better. Taking a month to replace tile and fix baseboards

Workmanship inside the house is fair. Looks like the things were done in a rush, not paying any attention to details. Very disappointed with the paint job done inside the house. Having painting redone at this time, doors , baseboards , walls . Found paint smears and drops all over our expensive floor tiles. Careless

We love our new home. We also like our community and everyone is very friendly. The home buying experience was flawless since all concerned was communicating with us all throughout the process.

If you want to build in Sun City you don't have a choice - it's Pulte. We found the design experience difficult as the design center online has a good number of selections, but "no image available" on most items. This makes it very difficult if you are building from out of state. Quality seen at the initial walkthrough with framing, plumbing, HVAC in place was concerning. Detail work at the finish was inconsistent and not good in most cases. Main issues that will be expensive and time consuming to repair - 1) flat paint on all walls, including bathrooms. The company has to paint all the walls so why not use a slightly more durable sheen like eggshell or satin; 2) and the worst kitchen cabinets I have owned in the last 30 years! The biggest problem is with the drawers and pull-outs. The edges of the drawers are unfinished and full of splinters! The drawers also fall off the tracks easily and require a repair request to get them back on track. Horrible! The cabinets in the models homes are very nice. The cabinets in the new builds are from a different company. I wish we would have been giving the same quality, especially given the cost of our highest upgraded kitchen and highest upgraded cabinets. I certainly feel that we have been downgraded. ... More

The labor force in the field don’t take pride in what they do so the quality of their products and services suffers

Grass is very uneven, and no attempt to fill in gaps between squares of sod. Yard appears to not have been leveled before sodded. One hedge row has two different kinds of plants, apparently ran out of one kind and finished with another. Also around transformer, one shrub was left out of the ground, and another was planted with roots exposed and is dying. I've notified three different people of these issues, and the only action was a half hearted attempt to level the worst of the uneven places in the sod.

Check the home with a fine tooth comb because if you find something later it is not easy to have it taken care of in a timely manner. Workmen excessively sloppy and leave trash and debris which covers storm drains preventing rain water from dispersing causing flooding.

MIke was great and very responsive. When the site Manager is looking out for your best interest you know the end product will be good. There will always be some little things, fortunate for me, there was nothing big or worrisome. Thanks y'all

In general it was an overall good experience. The build quality of our home was lower than past builders we have used. Cracked countertops, misaligned joints, lots of caulk to fill in excessive gaps. Upgraded cabinets are still cheap particle board. Floating cabinets were not secured properly needed repairs. Paint was water thin and builder painted around hardware on doors and electric trim. Seeing other homes being built next to us, it's kind of amazing Pulte is able to get these homes ready for the buyer. TRADES do not clean up, dust, debris, and garbage is left every where inside the homes until just before closing. Leaf blowers are not a normal home cleaning tool. We repainted the inside due to seeing drywall mud, texture peeling off. During the framing inspection, bare minimum code is met. No trimmer studs on interior doors, large framing nails protruding all over in wall cavities. 24" interior spacing of studs. Glass is scratched on sliding doors and windows. A level and tape measure would make a better quality home. Pulte's build time is very rushed 90 days. Fortunately, our area does not experience lots of inclement weather or earthquakes. Communication was good. Most buyers are out of town moving here, so Communication is important. It's disappointing to see some of my neighbors gutting a new home before move in. The upgraded options are EXTREMELY OVERPRICED, so alot of owners go standard and scrap them and hire outside contractors to upgrade. We will see how the warranty system works. ... More

Detailing on the house could be better. For instance, painting only has one thin coat on the walls and doors. If you wipe the wall or doors to clean a mark the paint starts to come off. Stucco needs repair in patio wall corner. All reported but slow response.

To many players in process. Not easy to keep track of scorecard.

We were able to visit the Homesite almost daily during construction so we caught many items which would not have been addressed if we were from out of state. 2 months later we are still trying to get kitchen cabinets repaired/replaced. But, we really enjoy our home and the community.

The house is very nice. The workmanship is just okay. Pulte should provide an independent QA/QC company once house is complete. They should also provide a house cleaning service to clean the house from top to bottom before purchase is complete.

For the most part everything has been good but we are still waiting for someone to get back to us regarding issues we are experiencing with our landscaping. It is very frustrating when no one returns your calls!

Overall decent experience with our new home

Very impressed well done everyone Regards Dennis

Jim was remarkable in making us feel comfortable in our new home. He was always available to answer questions and address our concerns. We consider him a valuable asset as we go further into our Pulte Home experience.

Initially we had many issues with the Superintendent. We asked him to meet us at the house numerous times for issues we saw (a 2x4 split in half and not replaced just toenailed together, porch ceiling framing not attached to header board, still do not know if it was fixed as they covered it up). Once James was replaced with Jay, things improved greatly. Jay was responsive, answered questions and anything that came up he verified with us it was handled. If we would have had Jay from the start, all our responses would have been 5 Star.

Over-all the experience went well. Our concerns arose after we closed middle June. As with any new home, there will be items that need to be reviewed/repaired. These have been. The largest item we encountered was the back yard was not done well, at all. The slope was going into our back side of home. The water during rains (and even during the sprinkler watering) was not funneled well. We have major flooding. Multiple service requests have not been responded to except for email feedback. We've been in the house for 1.5 months still no action. I spoke with our neighbors who have same issues. We're getting quite concerned with inactivity regarding this? Would like response/actions to correct this issue! ... More

Max was the absolute best at what he does. He kept us informed with calls, emails, and pictures. In looking back, it would have been helpful to have had a check off sheet with dates, time frames, and contact people to answer any questions. Maybe a customer service person prior to completion.

Good value for the price.
