Del Webb Reviews

Given their large size, Pulte has well honed floorplans. But lack of information at both sales (where structural options are chosen) and the design center, are problematic. Each should know their product and choices better. The excuse of being a "production" builder wears thin after too many refrains.

Staffing is inadequate. Everyone tries not enough resources

I believe I was sold a few things that were not necessary & relied on design center to steer me in right direction. I’m also hoping since it was brought to Pultes attention before closing regarding poor materials &/or workmanship that these will be addressed ASAP I’ve only been here a month area is great

Be sure to get everything that needs to be done before you move in, because afterward is a chore.

The builder has low expectations and standards. Builder is focused on building fast and NOT on building a good quality production home, that is too bad , they have some Awesome floor plans. The trades are pushed to get things done FAST, so they are either unable or unqualified to do a good job. It has been over 30days since we completed our 30 day list of things to be fixed and the only response was we will schedule in the next month or two.

We are still left with lots of little repairs that need to be done and talking with our neighbors we are not alone.It would seem that with this building boom that’s going on in festival that selling and building fast has taken priority over doing a good job.

Most things went well however some problems were identified but not corrected. For example, the slab for the outside HVAC was marked to be moved 5 or 6 feet to the back to line up with connections coming out of the house. This was not done even though it was plainly marked in spray paint on the cinder block. Now thinks are off and the insulation tubing is cracked for most of the long connection from house to HVAC unit. Some sheet rock mudding was to be corrected but again not done. This one we told your people that we would correct ourselves. Should not have to do this on a half million dollar home. Feel free to pass my review on to potential buyers. Summary - we do like the house and in no way regret our buying decision. My wife gave up on the mudding but I am still unhappy with the HVAC sloppy work. ... More

Our home is beautiful and well built. The service follow up is very poor. I have a toilet that is defective and has been waiting for replacement for over two months.

After closing date was scheduled there were several days of bad weather. Much of the final completion details were delayed but my builder insured me that he would see that all would be completed shortly after closing. However, I have had many task yet to be completed and am having to go through warranty to get it done. Now the Covid-19 virus has delayed completion further.

more time to get thing right

Design is good. Accessory systems very thought out, real value. Lot size on the small side. Workmanship not very good.

Please be sure to thoroughly and completely check your home.

Like I said the whole buying process was great but then it went down hill. Pulte Title is horrible. Kept asking for same documents. Pulte Mortgage was great. Workmanship is horrible. Paint splatters and spray everywhere. House was dirty when we moved in. Didn't clean windows or windows sills (the high ones that you can't see, left paper and saw dust up there) , left the paper from sliding glass doors on the frames and caulked it on them. Most kitchen and bathroom cabinet pulls were scratched. Caulk is horrible around shower and bathtub. Everything looked good on walk through, because you're in a hurry to get to the closing. Now it's more than 2 months later and things still aren't fixed, with dates being set for repairs and no one showing up. ... More

Very disappointed in the quality of home for the price you pay. Cheap workmanship which resulted in many mistakes and flaws.

Door had to be replaced which was done in a somewhat timely fashion. Had to make SEVERAL phone calls and 7 weeks later it remains unpainted. Closed without refrigerator which we were told was not included. Except that the contract said that there WAS to be a refrigerator. Took several weeks to get that.

Several quality issues with our new house all of which could have been resolved before closing. Has been difficult to get incomplete or defective items repaired. 12 weeks after moving in and many email and phone calls to our contract manager later, we are still trying to resolve many of the issues and feel like we are being ignored at this point.

How long does it take to get a toilet paper holder in my bathroom. Lived here 4 weeks and only have half of the holder!! Not to mention other issues.

Still outstanding issues NOT addressed. Once you close, you are forgotten

We have (hopefully had) a problem with mold found in the attic at pre-drywall inspection. It was treated just before closing but rather than guarantee it in writing that if there is ever a future problem where it spreads which I pushed for, but instead was told this verbally. You have a 1-year warrantee and "IF" we determine we should cover the repair or ongoing treatment then we will. Otherwise, it will be at our expense, which leaves me very concerned about the long-term quality, safety and potential repair/maintenance cost of our new home.

Buying the condo was easy. The issues are another story. The air conditioning has been a problem from day one. I have learned from EVERYBODY that this is an ongoing issue. Should have been fixed long ago as this is building number 6 of the complex. The problem still continues. My first night there I had to stay at my sisters because it was too hot to sleep there. Any hot day my condo is uncomfortable. They have tried temporary repairs. Still waiting for the repair. We moved into the condo in July. Keys are another ongoing issue. They are Hager keys and say do not duplicate on them. So the building and the condo association point their fingers at each other for responsibility. Meanwhile I am still struggling to have keys made. Traveled to Framingham as they told me to and none of the keys work. Still waiting to get working keys. Another issue that should have been resolved long before I bought the condo. There have been expected issues with new build and some are fixed quicker than others. I am not always sure they are being honest with me. ... More

From the questions in this review, I am not sure who specifically to review. We have dealt with a number of people. Most were responsive to our concerns. Were our concerns taken care of would be a better question. Our issue was with our walk-thru; we felt very rushed and were told some things that would be taken care of that were not. It was not a pleasant experience. Also I am not sure how to answer "Trustworthiness". Who specifically is the question referring too?

The sales person did not listen to my needs, I believe she is not longer with the company, as mentioned on my last review I paid $ 700 to upgrade the sanitary bowl and I got the ugliest bowl with wooden top that does not close automatically and already have a ship on it, the bowl that I wanted cost last then $ 250 at home depot The sprinkler is the worst, the plants & grass is dying and water runs twice a day on the wrong directions, what a waist of water & money Suggestion, when on last stages of completion you should allowed the buyers to review the house to check if there is any discrepancy’s The house is comfortable and the inside is well design ...

Still waiting on my landscaping to be fixed after digging up my yard to fix broken pipes. I did get a fast response from the plumber.

The experience was fine but the workmanship is not what one would expect for a home in this price range.

Lack of response for warranty issues submitted on line or called in. We have to follow up 3 or 4 times just to get a response, then we have to wait for the trades to "hopefully" show up.
