Del Webb Reviews

Naturally “Purchase” was EASY but with that said, from that point forward even after closing, things were a nightmare! Especially dealing with Pulte Mortgage! A VERY LONG Process submitting the SAME EXACT DOCUMENTS TO 3-4 people 4-4 different times! We were within (1) day of Movers Contract and were about to lose thousands of dollars because we had not cancelled when we told Pulte that IF we were not approved by that day, we would most likely cancel our Home Contract with Del Webb Mallory Creek! Our mortgage was approved that afternoon! Then during inspection, our gas range was found to be damaged and were told by the Builder’s Rep that a new range would be put in by Friday after closing on Wednesday! When the new range arrived, we had not yet arrived to our new home, therefore my daughter came to be here at our house to let the people in that were delivering and installing new range! At the time, since the “new range” was in a box, she asked the delivery man if it was the same range as the range in the house! He said “no” but he thought it was an upgrade! The range was not installed that day but appointment was set to install the following Monday! By then, we were in our new home in Mallory Creek! The installers brought the new range from the garage and began to install when I asked them WHY the range was different! They told me they didn’t know and that they were just there to install! When they left, I called the Construction Manager and told him they needed to pick the damaged range up from my garage! When he and his helper came, I told him that the “new range” was a downgrade compared to the old range after researching both models on line! He then told me that it would take 3-4 weeks to order that same model and he would let me know when it arrived! 4 weeks later, my husband sent in a request to Pulte warranty asking for an update on the range! The young lady’s response was that there must have been miscommunication between us and their construction manager and the range that is currently in the house is the range that WILL REMAIN! There is almost $1k difference in the price of the old range and the current range and the current range has no upgraded features!Too, the construction manager told us and the us and the Warranty Department that the range was no longer available through Whirlpool and had been discontinued! I told the lady at the Warranty Department that was not satisfactory and supplied the Company with many Appliance Dealers that still had the item in stock and that I will be sending a formal complaint to Public Agencies in NC that Builders, Real Estate Agents etc., have to abide by! Too, we cannot believe that Del Webb Mallory Creek asks residents to sign a “Waiver” to protect THEM from Lawsuit if you use the amenities and you get hurt! MY HUSBAND HAS PURCHASED 3 Homes in Del Webb 55+ Communities and has never experienced these things! We are here in the Community and our neighbors seem to be great but I would never recommend dealing with Pulte Group! Had that “new range” been installed on that Friday, I would not have known that instead of the UPGRADED Range listed with the home! And now that we’ve closed, they’re still trying to rip off a almost 90 year old! I’ve been informed today that this issue has been sent further up the chain ... More

Closing week was a mess and not a good experience. No one was on the same sheet if music and several issues got thrown at us last minute. I would never buy another Pulte Home and the biggest reason is because of Pulte Mortgage and Pulte Titling. Lastly, the sales Manager was just very unprofessional.

DO NOT TAKE any Del Webb answer at face value. Constant vigilance of their actions is mandatory by the buyer. Blue tape items were not fully completed even though they were stated complete. Pre-closing inspections should be done by trained inspectors (my mistake) and should take at least a half day. Buying quality surveys should never take place 1 -2 days after closing. Earliest should be minimum of 30 days. Successes and faults can not be properly assessed after 1-2 days.

The builder seems to have a strategy to do the lease amount of quality building that they can get away with. If the buyer doesn’t find a problem neither will the builder. The buyer will finally get tired of trying to get things done right and just accept what they get and move on.

Overall we are very disappointed with the low quality of materials like cabinets, and baseboard and low quality workmanship on cabinet install/repair, texture, and painting. We also own a home in Sun City Mesquite that was completed in 2021 and were expecting the same level of workmanship and materrials and the new home we closed on Nov. 5th 2025 is significantly below the quality of the home finished in 2021. We are about 3 months after closing and there is still asignificant amount of reqork to be done. The texture on the walls inside the house needs to be completely redone and we are still waiting for that work to be completed. The painters/texture people have been to the house twice so far but only to do some light touchup painting. We are scheduled to get the texture work redone later this month but the fact that we have to get it done and the impact on us is significant. I hope they can get the job done right this time but honestly I have serious doubts they can. Also, the cabinets have had a number of issues and they have been to the house twice and yet the quality of the cabinets themselves and the workmanship is sub standard in my opinion. They are scheduled to come out again but I again doubt the issues will be resolved to my satisfaction, we will see. There have been and still remain other issues but I am especially concerned about a crack in the ceiling in the living room and was told we should wait until later in the spring to see if it gets worse before they repair it. So now we have to wait until later this spring to even see how bad it gets before it is repaired and once again at significant inconvience to us. While I appreciate the willingnees to stay engaged to resolve the issues these are issues that should not be there in the first place. ... More

Some people were very unwilling to help with issues and questions after closing day.

You have to work to get things right.

Lesson learned: Never sign closing documents assuming the builder will complete promised repairs afterward, even if you're acting in good faith. We were assured that all identified repairs had been finished, but several were not. Additionally, the project manager claimed that our oven's intermittent ignition (turning on and off every 5 minutes during baking) was normal operation. However, the manufacturer later confirmed this is not normal and may pose a safety risk. It's disappointing that, two months after closing, we're still working to resolve issues that should have been fully addressed—and that we were explicitly told had been addressed—before we signed. ...

We really love the home design of our home and Alex is a great project manager. However, the quality of the workmanship is below average across the board. The electrical contractor, in particular, was horrible. We had many issues with their work during construction and continue to find electrical issues now that we live in tbe house. In addition, nearly all walls are not plumb and none of the corners are 90 degrees. This causes a lot of issues when doing projects such as closet and pantry upgrades. In general, I feel like the workmanship of our home is sub-par and feel like we will have multiple issues to deal with as the home ages. Not very confident in the Pulte quality build process. ...

I have a window blind that has not worked, new construction, since the day I moved in. My construction manager, Steve, told me that he knew it was broken before I moved in. It's now almost 2 months later and still not fixed! He wanted me to give him a good review in the beginning so I did. But after that I have not heard from him once. He passed my name and problems off to someone else who then passed them on to someone else. The last person, Sheree, has been trying to help but it's been a very long process with not much success. I have waited at home 4 different times for a total of 15 hours for these people to fix the blind and it's still not done yet! I've been given 4 different dates of when they would be here to fix it and they have not showed up for any of them. There's always some excuse what the problem is. I'm waiting to receive communication, which is very slow, on 2 other issues about how and when they will be resolved. I'm not very happy with their service and I feel like the quality of the home is average, not really anything above that. ... More

The concept of KR is good, the execution is cookie cutter. Poorly designed spaces that defy logic. Cheap cost cutting measures leave a new home owner with a bad taste in their mouth. Sure hope the lifestyle is worth it.

Fun experience ,walker was great

After moving in and finding several problems I have been unuble to get any response from emails or -phone calls for 8 weeks to the contractor in charge of this house and then email to Pulte Warranty 3 weeks ago STILL NO RESPONSE VERY DISAPPOINTED

Project manager did a great job showing the house and explaining each part of the house. Great personality and very patience with us during our walk through. He delivered on everything he said he would.

Our Del Webb Sales Consultant, Janet, was extremely helpful and very professional. In our opinion, Janet is a terrific person and a great asset for Del Webb! Our Design Consultant, Rachel, was awesome and so talented! Communication with our Construction Manager was only fair in our view. In our opinion, Pulte Homes dropped the ball on several things during construction. Our Purchase Agreement with Pulte Homes included installation of a Home Standby Generator. The installation of our generator was unfortunately not completed until many days after our closing. We believe that this was due to poor communication between Pulte, its subcontractors and the City of Georgetown and due to the necessary paperwork not being handled in a proper and timely manner. Our foundation was chiseled after it was poured for the installation of two electrical outlets. These outlets were set out in our original paperwork. We also contracted with Pulte Homes for the installation of window blinds. After moving into our new home, we experienced several issues with our window blinds including not being able to open or close them easily, several of the blinds were warped and most of the valances were apparently damaged, defective or improperly installed causing them to fall to the floor. Finally, before we signed our Purchase Agreement we were told by Del Webb that a new Amenity Center was going to be built within walking distance of our new home. In February 2025 we were advised by Del Webb that construction on the new Amenity Center was scheduled to start in April 2025 and that the target date for completion was some time in Q2 or Q3 2026. As of this writing, construction on the new Amenity Center has not commenced and we have been unable to obtain a target date range for the commencement of construction from Del Webb. Overall, our construction experience was good in part and not so good in part. We are happy to be Sun City residents! ... More

My shower had to be reinstalled three times before the floor was graded properly, and the tile placements were corrected. The windows are not squared off. A lot of the walls are not squared off overall there does not seem to be pride in the workmanship of the workers. Most recently The VIDEO DOORBELL was a terrible install job. Trying to find out who to contact is a nightmare and to take ownership of fixing things is not very expedient if at all. Unwillingness to accommodate the buyers request for minor things that could save the buyer thousands of dollars is ignored. All you get is a flat no it can’t be done. Such as putting in a shower rail with a hand held sprayer. Because Pulte would not allow an accommodation when the walls were exposed it will cost me a few thousand dollars. You are not given many choices on some things at the design center. The community is lovely but there seems to be a lot of in fighting which is scary as a new buyer. The clubhouse is also very nice. The restaurant food needs to be improved and less salty if they want to stay in business. The wire systems in the closets are hideous. We should have gotten an opportunity to upgrade at a reasonable price. The workmanship of the drop zone looks a high school kid made it in woodshop. The wood is rough on the whole thing. Pulte, you could and should do better and price gouge your senior buyers. ... More

I bought a new home in Stone Creek. Overall the home is good for the price point. My problem is the sliding glass door, I paid for a new door and got one that is patched together with pieces that don’t fit right and let the bugs in. I have put paper in all the holes. I paid for a new door, not one that isn’t right. I want the whole door replaced.

We have found that the total quality of the home build to be subpar. I believe the reason for this is the quality of work done by your contractors and sub-cotrators. Their should be better inspection of their work and attention to details of the home build.

Garage width is too small for 2 cars. Driveway to road has curb to drive over at each entrance and exit. Warrantee process is difficult to complete.

During the purchase process, we had one sales person. We were promised certain things. In the middle of the purchase, sales persons were changed and in the end. Pulte did not honor what was promised to us. We went ahead with the purchase. Pulte gives you one year and a portal to request repairs on the home. We have had several issues with the home build. I have put in twice now for the issues to be fixed. They say that someone will be in contact with you with in 48 hours. I have not heard back from them in over two weeks now. Several people have told me that we need to be on Pulte, call them daily to get someone out to repair the home. Insulation was improperly placed in the ceiling, making the prewired surround sound system not useable and unable to be installed. Caps were left off of our back yard fence and the fences seems unstable. I will say, the current sale representative has been very helpful with smaller things. She has called me back in a timely manor, investigated issues for us and given us contacts for additional projects, like interior painting and changing flooring. ... More

Floor was chipped unfortunately not covered. Plant in plant bed was dead before closing builders said he would replace it and requested it. They have to close and they said it’s not covered. A few things were promised before closing were not delivered had to wait.

Have been experiencing issues with tankless water heater not working. Found repaired holes in the garage the plumber had to fix because of shoddy previous work. Lawn maintenance not spectacular and it’s being blamed on the weather. Construction sites are trashed with plastic bottles, scrap wood, broken concrete, empty caulking tubes, cardboard, plastic sheeting and other discarded items. I’ve even found trash buried under the sod. The construction supervisor has and continues to be responsive, diligent, understanding and helpful when issues arise. If not for him we would be at a loss.

Responsiveness great before closing, but some issues that were supposed to be resolved were not. Many issues found after closing. Initially, responsiveness was fine, but it has deteriorated considerably. Some repairs are taking months and follow up inquiries get no response. Very disappointing.

Once they have your money they are done with you. Sent in warranty issues still not resolved.

We love the area and the amenities, however the building quality left us frustrated. We faced several fairly unfortunate issues related to quality. When brought to the attention of our CM, we were, at times, left with dismissive answers and the feeling that they expect us to just “live with it”. Other times, minor issues were addressed. Poor workmanship is evident throughout the home. Some examples are framing and drywall issues, broken tiles, areas left unpainted (only primed), bowing/slanting of walls and ceilings, plumbing issues. Further issues were uncovered when bringing in an electrician to hang lighting - crude workmanship was covered up with a large amount of caulk that needed to be removed. We understand time pressure but for the money we spent on this home, it was disheartening to realize quality was skimped on. ... More
