Del Webb Reviews

Get a realtor and independent contractor to advise and represent you. Do not close with a punch list.

The builder was responsive and easy to work with. Disappointment is with the quality of the workmanship and materials, in particular the paint/caulking/interior doors.

Complete disclosure of surroundings union completion of my home was never shared. Too much building and construction on the land site when I moved in.

Basically, this was a bad experience that should have been exciting for this new chapter in our lives. Many mistakes were made with the add on's we purchased, and they seemed bothered that we wanted them fixed. We had to continually request and follow up on issues that had not been completed at closing. After a month we are still waiting for some of the items. The walls seem thin and we can hear everything going on from most rooms in the house. The light switches do not make a lot of sense to where they are connected.

do not accept three stars as acceptable. The company can do a lot better by staying in front of their subs, meaning stop unacceptable workmanship in its tracks , fix the issues in mid stream, so not to have to come back and repair the screw ups of subs.

Sales person very knowledge . When buying spec homes nothing can be changed. Very confusing with whom your dealing with a Pulte employee or a Del web employee.

While we understand supply chain issues, the lack of communication about said issues causing a three plus month delay in closing was difficult to deal with. Losing a project manager during the build added to our frustration. The quality is acceptable and most problems are addressed in a timely manner but I would not have expected quite so many issues in a new build. The staff has been very pleasant and conciliatory but clearly over booked as additional construction moves forward.

Working with Kristen Springer was the best part of buying our new home. Kristen is a real asset . She follows up and answers all questions. The actual process of working with sales was difficult and at times confusing.

extremely messy with paint, grout , 4 weeks with out irrigation or grass being cut, so far

Check every step of construction.....get private inspection prior to drywall installation and prior to closing. Pay special attention to electrical issues and upgrades. There have been numerous issues for which I question if licensed electricians have been hired. Although I have not been pleased with construction issues, field managers have been wonderful in correcting issues. I have had three field managers, Nelson Riggs, Chris Nelson, and Rodney Daniels....they have been fabulous and very trustworthy....

First and foremost, salesperson and home foreman were great and totally responsive, the same cannot be said of anyone else there...what was to take 6 months took 10, impossible to get any real timing or info, houses bought after us were done months before...GM basically said he has two years to build home and would be happy to let me out of my contract (um nooo since at that point they were charging $60,000 more for my house...) we are in now , finding some issues, but the warranty gentleman is awesome. BTW it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a phone number for Pulte/Del Webb corporate , not online, not in print, no one will give that to you...wonder why? As a homeowner and stock holder am disappointed with Senior Management... ... More

Once in the home, we feel that we have a well built home, but the finishing work is really disappointing.

The crown molding on the cabinets in the laundry room fell off two weeks after purchase - it just fell off! Also, the builder was unable to show us how to work the irrigation system - just didn't know. Houses are being built very rapidly in circumstances where there is difficulty with delivery of materials plus probably some tightness in finding construction labor. We are basically happy with our experience and our purchase, but it is clear the process is strained and perhaps being rushed.

You are buying a lifestyle.....Not a home!

We had a good field manager but he had too many homes to oversee. As a result, there is much sloppy workmanship that needs to be repaired or replaced after closing.

Too much constrution at same time delaying home closings.

We were impressed with the model homes and our salesperson was awesome. The construction supervisors were awesome. However, the quality of the final product was very sloppy. Lots of paint splatters on the new floors and outside on concrete, cabinet trim not finished professionally, dishwasher that doesn't work, just general lack of attention to detail.

We settled on sept 9. I’m still waiting for warranty work to be completed. No one will respond to me when I call to see what’s happening. Very frustrating.

Bad closing experience with Builder. All buyers should be careful!!!

Great challenges facing all builders that are difficult to manage. That said, the list of issues is a lot to manage after closing. Responsive but slow to actually correct.

Outside finishing in connection with a/c unit, cable box, outlet, etc., must be improved, too much defecting that they are taken as standard finishing.

The home is sound structurally, but the finish work leaves a lot to be desired. For instance, we have been waiting over two months for the kitchen cabinets to be completed. It is simply unacceptable. Paint quality is terrible. The paint itself is low quality and in many areas of the house it looks like a three year old did the job. We are still waiting for the promised paint fixes, both interior and exterior, to be completed.

Buyer has no options on some issues. Painting color selection, failure to finish garage, process for buyer to review plan to ensure design meets expectations and buyer knows what they are getting. More through involvement by buyer at key stages. Seven foot garage doors and layout of drive way needs to change.

ryan and chad didn't come through

I'll put the ending first - now that we are settled in our home, we are very happy. The community is wonderful because the people who live here are wonderful. And we like our home. The experience of having the home built was fraught with issues and disappointments. At one point there was no progress on our home for over two months, which delayed our opening and caused us to have to extend our rentals. The only reason given was that they were waiting on an inspection. We did everything we could think of, including sending an email to the Pulte customer service people that they refer you to when you write a bad review here. When you send a complaint to Pulte Customer Service, they send a nice note saying that they are very concerned and that they are sending your complaint to your local office since they are in a better position to solve the problem. Unfortunately, in our case the lack of response from our local people was the issue we were complaining about. As a homeowner you are assigned a customer service person that you are supposed to meet during your walk-through prior to closing, this person is supposed to be your contact for when you have any issues with your new home. Ours did not show up for the walk-through, nor did he call or communicate in any way. We were given a name for this person, but we have lived in our home for almost two months now and we have neither met nor heard from him. In summary, there were commitments made and not kept, and there was a time when we could not get anyone to tell us what was going on, and we felt helpless. Now that we are in our home, we are very happy, but we are certainly glad that the building process is over. ... More
