Del Webb Reviews

When buying, you’re told how clean they keep the worksite. Not true. Workers leave trash, food, etc laying around. Walked all over drywall with muddy feet then drywall is hung muddy. Floors aren’t covered during paint touch up and drops of paint aren’t cleaned during final cleaning. Slow response to calls (if it even happens). Nails is street. Landscape bushes weren’t stabilized and are bending over. A small piece of bamboo to secure a crape myrtle with string etc isn’t secure.

Make sure everything is done before closing.

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.

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

No flexibility in home design and choice of options. Rushes you and forces you to closing even though home is not completed to your satisfaction.

We love the design and layout of our new home. However there was a rush to complete it and close escrow, which left too much to be corrected. The builder has been slow in response to our concerns.

I love the design of these homes, my neighbors and sense of community. There was no attention to detail towards quality of workmanship during the final month and I am still waiting for about ten trades to finish. I am still missing screens, parts of walls and ceilings were not painted, front door still needs repair, while some work has been done much remains.

Many different policies during the build process due to covid and supply issues. However, the builder chose to change course on supplies in midstream leaving us to wait for delivery.

Very friendly, helpful people but the quality of the materials are poor and many problems with installations.

Home three month behind schedule . No one touched the home for three month. Excuse after Excuse

I feel that the building process was too rushed towards the end so that we could move into our homes ASAP and consequently, workmanship suffered.

Disappointed in follow thru and quality.

The closing company did not pay the Property Taxes, SID or HOA nearly 2 months after closing and only paid them after we relentlessly inquired. We were in fear of a Property lien. I would stay away from Del Web title company.

We closed on our house six weeks ago. We continue to find many small workmanship issues with painting, molding fit, tile grout, and paint splatters on the floor. There is a significant issue with the heating system on the second floor which hasn’t been completely addressed (we spent an extra $4200 to have this installed.). Our floor in the kitchen area started to buckle and we discovered that the drain pipe in the knee wall behind the island was broken and dirty water has been leaking since we’ve been in. Our customer care rep Ralph is very responsive and is trying to get these issues addressed but quite frankly the builder isn’t interested in quality workmanship and the crews working building the units are not being supervised sufficiently. For instance - the plumber that fixed our broken pipe told us that this was the third repair like this that he’s had to do in the development. A third party should immediately be brought in to inspect the quality of the ongoing work - Pulte construction management is under too much pressure to get the units built. ... More

A builder is only as good as the subcontractors he selects and employs. The HVAC, paint, and tile contractors were marginal. The HVAC location was part of our original contract, which the HVAC contractor didn't read and installed HVAC incorrectly, which took three months to get right. There are numerous examples of wall paint overspray on the hardwood floors and tile. Cabinetry is damaged and lacks proper finishing molding which we are still waiting on. Also waiting on a garage door. The door hardware doesn't fit properly. The tile and grout in our $10000 upgraded bathroom was unacceptable and poor quality, yet Field Manager Richy T refused to fix it properly - the two options he offered were unacceptable and would have caused further damage to the tile and structure. ...

1: Through out the construction, no responses from the construction manager when we asked for updates and concerns. 2: Rescheduled 2 times for Closing because of their lack of coordination, timiming of completion and scheduling. 3: Staying in the hotel for 21 days because of their scheduling mistake caused us to incur into unexpected expenses. Yet, no one seems to care. Just blame COVID.

I would not build another home with Pulte. I love my new house and glad I did it, but I would not do it again

Because corporate headquarters puts ridiculous deadlines in completing homes, homes are closed prior to having the houses fully completed (e.g. gutters are installed after closing, appliances may not be in house)

I am very disappointed in the overall quality of the workmanship as well as the lack of sufficient energy saving materials. The lack of sufficient insulation in the walls and ceiling is very noticeable to a person moving from California where energy saving materials such as thick insulation are required and have been for years. The builder seemed to focus on building houses that save them money while charging customers a premium for the Del Webb name and lifestyle. Also the communication with Pulte throughout the building process was poor as most of my information about the building progress and issues to address were the result of texts from my neighbor or phone calls from my brother, a contractor, who made a site visit. ...

Ensure ALL issues are resolved BEFORE CLOSING.. walk thru weekly if possible near the end of the build and insist that all is resolved. Look at EVERYTHING meaning open cabinets, drawers, look at finishes, etc

Have been in home since September 10th...still waiting on towel bar in master!!!!... several repair items.... still waiting on response!!!!

While we are really enjoying and loving the Del Webb community unfortunately the home building experience was less than desirable. Structurally we have a well built home but the quality of finishing materials and workmanship was so subpar that it made the entire experience stressful and unpleasant. When you are paying top dollar pricing you expect to receive top quality and unfortunately that was not the case. The line “this is not a custom build home” was used way too much and frankly I suggest you all come up with an alternative reason for workmanship that is not in line with the price of the homes. Overall we are happy with our home. ... More

All in all it’s a satisfactory transition I moved here from Northern California to Mesquite the area is nice the people of been wonderful my only issue is is that with the Del Webb folks it takes a while for them to respond back to any issues that you have one that I experienced was my hot water heater I never heard back from anybody still working on it

Since the purchase poor customer experience - non-responsive - outstanding issues have not been resolved since the initial walk-thru and remain today.

We would never purchase Pulte again. The finish work is Terrible. Lots of damage. The house was treated like garbage. We are living with permanent damage to floors and sinks, windows that are not straight, imoroperly mounted doors,, etc.
