Del Webb Reviews

Pool construction was a disaster. Crushed underground pipes found. Sub had not properly tested. Multiple delays in addressing punch list and warranty issues. How long does it take Pulte to change a light bulb (actually fix a light post) that has never worked in the two months since closing? Don't know, because still not fixed.

Very poor workmanship for a high-priced product. What we got wasn't what the model looked like. Although Del Webb stands behind their product and eventually everything will be fixed, the continual no-shows by contractors are doubly disturbing. You would think it would be much better for both Del Webb and the owners if things were done right the first time. Quality Control is definitely lacking.

I did not have a good experience with the builder. I think the sub-contractors were not experienced in their trade. Pulte Homes sold too many homes at once where they could not hand the demand and supplies. I'm don't want to hear it was all about COVID, that's when you should have stopped selling. We are still waiting for bathroom light fixtures and 4 flood light bulbs that were supposed to be in when we signed. As for completion or status of work requests, not happy with the timelines or the status updates.

Pay attention to details to avoid scheduling issues.

Been in home little over one month. Still waiting for some floor trim to be finished, still waiting on refrigerator we ordered. Lots of delays. Started my one year warranty list already.

The design of the units are not only functional, but interesting, and offer a wide variety of choices. The landscaping thus far has also been quite appealing.

Sales and design teams were excellent and kept us up to date on progress of the build and access / options for supply issues due to Covid. Timeline was not changed. No delays.

Happy with layout and build of home. Unhappy with the lack of attention to detail from the craftsman that built our home.

Don’t settle for poor quality of workmanship. We shouldn’t have settled until corrections were made.

This is not the first new home that I have built so I am not new to the experience. That said, I was surprised with the number of major quality issues that existed with the house when we were given the keys. From major mechanical issues and missed key parts in the attic and on the roof to a clogged water system and non-functioning electrical outlets, the lack of quality checks and low standard of acceptability on visual items was dumbfounding. The Pulte support services including Sales, Mortgage, Design Center and Smart Home were exemplary and the people there were a joy to work with. Where Pulte totally fell down was with the build execution and now the real completion of the house has been left to the Customer Service rep who is doing his best to close out the issues. In a nutshell, Pulte seems to be building too many houses too fast and not doing the necessary checks along the way to ensure a quality finished product. ... More

Be wary of the quality of their work

Your phone service is the worst. God forbid I need medical help because there is no service here if I need to send a message or talk to a client I need to get in my car and drive. Failed calls are the norm. While you might say it nothing you can do then you should advertise the fact that this is at this time off the grid living with no cable as well. Worst experience ever

Quality of concrete work is the worst I Have seen. Sloppy, Hasty, Unprofessional, Cheep Quality work. Paint, sheetrock, caulk and finish carpentry sloppy and unprofessional, especially at the bottom of walls

Run, don't walk. They will leave you with an unfinished house. They must be a company going down the tubes since they're ONLY interested in selling as many houses as quick as they can. They are NOT in any way the old Del Webb. They will ruin your retirement experience>

The overall purchase and closing was great. No issues at all. The overall home and the build is not the same experience. The structural portion of the hoe was solid. The cosmetics of the home and workmanship was not as expected. Very disappointed in the cabinets damage and the paint and sparkling job.

I like my new home and the community. The property management staff has been helpful. The design of the house attracted me to it. The open kitchen, the covered lanai, and the covered front porch are all desirable. I am very happy with the led lighting. I would suggest that a buyer add extra lighting over the location of the headboards of the beds and by the entry door in the garage. I am glad that I did this. I was disappointed by the many items that remained unfinished at the time of the closing. I am spending a lot of time assisting with the resolution of the items. If I am not here at the time of the repair, too many things get left undone. In general, the response has been good to resolving the issues and most of the open items have been taken care of. However, the carpet was installed with damaged fibers throughout and the installation was substandard. There are also many highly visible gaps showing at the baseboard. I am still waiting for a resolution to this issue over a month since the closing. The builder needs to hire more experienced installers, and if something goes wrong, the issue should be resolved quickly. Flooring is important. It is difficult and inconvenient to change it once the furniture is moved into the house. Experienced installers should inspect the products for defects and carefully install only quality materials that are free from defects. ... More

At final walk thru all punch list items were addressed and told would be corrected prior to closing. None were completed. Upgraded Appliance package was not installed and we were not advised of it before closing. We had to ask about it afterwards. Still waiting on them to arrive. Would have been nice to be told ahead of time. Gas line stub for BBG was not installed. When they came back they installed it in wall but never hooked it up in crawl space to main gas line. Rush to finish without good followup.

My decision to work with Pulte Homes turned out well for me!

Contractor was responsive but very busy with other homes.

I think everything was well planned, and the quality of the homes is excellent.

Lack of response to issues that have come up, especially after closing. Get no updates and no action despite several requests by us to the builder. Issues such as missing keys, missing blind, no updates on missing window screens, warranty info, dysfunctional outdoor lighting, and partially missing landscaping. It has been over a month since closing and we have had virtually no response.

In general we had a good building experience. Our sales person and design team did an outstanding job. Project completion was very delayed from the initial estimate. Also, we are still waiting on unresolved open issues that were noted shortly after closing.

you built me a beautiful home-thank you, but as I have been here over a month now, I see little things that need to be "handled" (paint drops on my rugs, cracks in the hardwood floor, shower door that keeps sliding open, etc). None are big deals and can be taken care of at a lower priority- but speaks to being a little sloppy which I did not expect based on the overall quality of the home.

Overall we have had a good experience with Pulte. The buying phase was great (although Pulte mortgage was awful). Construction was delayed about 2 months but this is happening with all home builders. Our construction manager kept us up to date and communicated any delays and progress. For the most part the quality is good but we are still waiting on many things to be fixed/repaired after 6 weeks in the house. Luckily most are minor.

Overpriced home for what we got and the builder rushed to finish construction to meet the 12/30/21 closing date which resulted in numerous areas unfinished (paint; punch list items; "placeholder" appliances instead of what we purchased; etc). It's been 5 weeks and we're still waiting on some items to be completed AND we still don't have our gas range.
