Del Webb Reviews

I think Pulte did a fair job and missed a lot of easy opportunities to build a great home and engender goodwill with this customer. My perspective is likely skewed as my last new home purchase and build was 30 years ago, and for a much larger home at less than half the cost of this home. I don't feel the contractors hired by Pulte were striving for excellence in any way, shape, or form. I don't feel the Pulte construction manager had much experience and talked a good story but at the end of the day was not straightforward with the customer. In fact, I think he outright lied to me. For the price point these homes are thrown together and cheap. I'm not even convinced that they meet code. Especially hurricane or wind code requirements. Time and the first hurricane will tell the story. On the warranty side things are a little better but most of the warranty issues, in my opinion, were created by sloppy and shoddy workmanship, and the construction manager not understanding what was needed or asked for. ...

Quality of workmanship is subpar! To get something fixed impossible takes forever!! If you measure each room including sunroom the measurements are smaller then what brochure says!!!! Bought property driveway was somewhat flat had walk thru now driveway is 45 degrees which is stupid especially since your selling to an older crowd. I would have had 2nd thoughts if I knew!!!!

I bought a yard of dead sod at closing. I was reassured the sod would be replaced by Pulte Hones. This has not happened and is unacceptable.

we well give review when every thing done driveway ,thankd no no patio done yet no sprikle system done no landscaping or have no idea when they well done new idea what the plan is

Huge disappointment with construction and delivery. Still open items from the initial walk through over 2 months ago. Home was embarrassingly filthy at delivery. Sales was spectacular but construction sucks!!!!

25 years ago Pulte was a quality builder. They offered a beautifully crafted home without the need for many upgrades because they were included. Current homes require around $100,00 in upgrades and still are not top quality. .. For example the cabinets they install are cheap .. no longer 1/2 inch solid wood but thin panels that crush easily. How do I know? One of our side panels had to be replaced so we could see first hand what they are made of. No fans or light fixtures are included in the main living area… no allowance so you have to pay an electrician to install after closing. No outlets in the master closet or pantry. Only wire shelving is offered. Some of ours had nail bolts that popped out of the wall when 8 oz of weight was set on the shelf. The shelves were not all level. Entry level appliances - dishwasher, range and microwave. Not what you would expect in a quality home that is priced over half a million dollars. Sadly from my experience- Lennar is now offering a better quality home than Pulte and it hurts me to say that. Pulte is making money. Just check their recent stock prices.. but sadly their reputation is going to suffer. The amenities, street lighting and sidewalks are great. There is plenty of open space and most of the homes to back up to ponds and or green space. The community seems to be laid out well. ... More

Two items were not done right, we noted them to Pulte 2 weeks before the closing and they were still not fixed at closing forcing all parties involved to figure out a resolution.

Interior decorator great during appointment but VERY unresponsive afterwards. She was done with us! Sales person generally good although took awhile for replies. First construction manager was outstanding! The second, that took us to house completion was very unresponsive and did not follow through. Landscaping quality disappointing. So far warranty department has been responsive, although it’s only been a month.

Great with sales, but the contractor and follow up was a bit difficult. Had lots of questions that were down played! Lots of cheep construction and issues that were done NOT in line with the plan, but because of laziness and really not professional Had bathroom that could not be used , had a dryer that could not be used ? Had a shower that flooded the bathroom and bedroom had a stove that was put in out of plum and original had plants placed down the middle of the yard ,, NOT a great experience

We recently built a home in Bexley and moved in March 2024. We love the neighborhood, HOWEVER... since moving in, we have had numerous problems. The problems started during the build phase. Our builder manager, Rafael, said the right things, but did not fulfill the promise. The worksite was filthy throughout the process, and as a result, the HVAC motor was damaged and needed to be replaced shortly after closing (it whistled loudly for 6 weeks). Also, we are still cleaning up grout and paint from the floors. Additionally, we have had 5 gas leaks (inside and outside) due to poor installation. We discovered 4 prior to closing, and 1 after closing. The building manager was irritated every time we pointed out concerns. The worst problem was a plumbing leak under the floor and concrete. We had to stay in a hotel overnight due to water shut off. The repair of pipes, flooring, walls, and repainting has taken 6 1/2 weeks to complete. We still have not been reimbursed for the hotel stay. There are numerous other quality concerns (doors bowed, door hardware incorrectly installed, etc.). While we love the location and look of our new home, the Pulte building process and quality have been extremely disappointing. We chose to build a new home with Pulte because of their pledge to Quality and customer satisfaction. We certainly did not expect to have so many major system repair needs shortly after moving into our brand new home. ... More

My Home Buying Experience was pleasant! I have been in my home for approximately 60 days and have enjoyed the experiences. The community is delightful. However, the HOA experience not so. I am very concerned about getting satisfactory responses for reported Service Requests.

It has been not pleasant with some of the issues Kitchen appliances Sod lawn

Workmanship and work quality is terrible.

House is OK. Not what I really wanted, but it will do.

Sadly, Del Webbs promise of a quality home was spoiled by the builder Pulte. Had I not hired an independent inspector the quality would have been far worse. Issues included the lot being impropriate graded so that water was channeled to the house instead of away. A crappy foundation poor. Frames that were not attacked to the footer. Broken trusses. Posts that did not go high enough to support the roof but ended in mid-air. A quality build would have included none of those. My only regret is that I was not present every day to reject the shoddy materials and workmanship before it was incorporated in my house. They did their best to fix them after the fact, but I cannot say that is Quality, since they would have gone unfixed if I hadn't insisted. ... More

Blue responded to all my question and concerns immediately. My issues were with Paul in sales. Once I signed the purchase agreement and paid my downpayment he ghosted me. He misinformed me on several options and I am still waiting for a refund on a grab bar that was nor installed as it could not be installed where Paul said it could be. I have reached out to him twice now on what the status of that refund is and as usual have not heard a word back. I reached out to the head of sales here at sun city, Mesquite a couple of days ago and have not heard back form him yet as well.

Would not recommend to my friends and family.

the service after closing was less than acceptable. more time and explanation of the technical device working and setup is very lacking. Work force is very haphazard. it takes many requests to correct problems.

Pulte is a large builder and part of a conglomerate. Things will be done according to their schedule, not yours with no apologies. My home was completed within their predicted time frame. However at several points in time, it sat for a week with no progress in the building process. I could have been completed more quickly without sacrificing "quality". So far, with the exception of one request, my experience with the warranty department has been very disappointing.

Pulte customer service needs lots of improvements .

Pulte people made our home buying experience miserable. Total lack of communication and follow through. We showed up to our scheduled walk through with the house a mess and no one there. We later learned that the walk through and closing had been pushed back and we were not notified. We came in from out of state and were paying for a hotel room to accommodate the date and time we were given (we even confirmed the appointment time prior to the walk through). My wife had to make a big fuss to get our walk thru done and keep our closing on the original date. We had to fight for things that we paid for and had to pull out paperwork and contact the design center to prove we were correct. Despite documented lack of follow through and responsiveness, we were demonized and made to feel like problem causers. Kudos to Daryl for being the only person we have been able to rely on. More than a month after closing, issues are being addressed that should have been done prior to closing. What should have been a happy experience was ruined by Pulte employees who apparently think that ignoring and not communicating with homebuyers is okay. ... More

The home sale was quick and painless. The issue for me now is the after sale service. It appears now that my requests for service issues is going unanswered. During the sales process, we had an in person meeting with our Pulte/Del Webb. Who stated that they will be a contact if we would ever need an issue resolved again, that service is lacking and going unanswered

No response to concerns

Our home closing date was almost a month late. In discussing with our construction manager we were told closings were being moved around by his manager. Smaller homes were being moved to the earlier closing dates. We also had the closing coordinator try to move out our closing date due to their capacity, we pushed back on this and the held to the date. BUT this is really not ok, all teams should be aware of delays and address so the same house does not keep getting pushed out. We had to pay an additional month of storage on our house hold items. Our home was a mess on closing date, the cleaning was unacceptable. We have a lot of tile floors, when I raised concerns about the poor cleaning of the floors as they were filthy, our construction manager told us the cleaning crew used up 5 mop heads and was unwilling to clean any better. Why would anyone think this response was ok? We had to spend over 8 hours scrubbing our floors before we could even move in. We have built 6 homes, I have never been disappointed with my prior homes on closing date. We built a home with Pulte in 2014 and it was very good quality, the home is clearly not. The quality of trim / finish carpentry is very poor, and they way they are trying to correct this is consistently making it worse with every attempt as the person they are sending clearly has received no training on how to fix these issues. Some things can not be fixed with with sanding, corners should be crisp not rounded, split and cracked molding can not be caulked to repair, and rather than trying to fix items should be replaced. Molding is cheap. ... More

Everything doing the buying and building process was great, however as soon as we closed on the property we got radio silence, No response back from simple questions and the warranty dept does not exist (being ignored, no return email or call). Our stars would have so much higher, if the post close had been the same as doing the building process
