Del Webb Reviews

The home is decent, and we do not regret the purchase. However, the customer care manager has been abysmal. The house does have issues that warrant addressing; paying 400k for a new house and the dishwasher break, large cracks in cabinets, and sinks not working within the first month is not pleasant -- but the lack of care from the customer care manager is truly disappointing. There is a clear feeling that they do not want to deal with us now that the money has been paid. This is disappointing, to say the least. With all that said, the house overall is pretty good, as are the community amenities. ... More

Poor quality finish on walls and cabinets, scratches on cabinets, told the were on order to replace, have not heard back. Walls poor finish with paint! Scheduled a meeting for warranty and took afternoon meeting and no one showed up or called saying they were delayed. Not happy!

My how things have changed for the worse. A Del Webb home is no different from any of their other divisions or their competitors. The overall quality of our home is borderline atrocious. Mounding isn’t properly cut and fitted, tile work is slightly better. Wall texture is totally inconsistent. No amount of caulking, which is improperly used everywhere helps. Landscaping is as poor of quantity as one can get away with. Everyone who works for this builder has a lane, and in it they stay. Nothing with this build happened on time. And excuses flowed frequently for every imaginable issue. So far our del Webb experience leaves a lot to be desired. And I’m pretty sure I am not alone with these sentiments. ... More

Contractor response for warranty issues brought up with Pulty are poor

Not the same quality as the Pulte Home I bought back in 2010. Shame that profit comes before quality and pride

I will only say that it's been an experience. I'm thankful that we were able to close when we did and hopeful for the future of our development.

Bridgette our salesperson was the bright spot in this process .

The sales person was great during the home buying experience. After the sale was complete, not so much. Homes have warranty coverage and a system to post requests. They go unanswered.

Just a huge money grab. Price and value are out of sync. Plastic plumbing fixtures?

I feel the quality of the finished product is less than the ideal presented in the sales office. Lots of little issues left to be taken care of. I believe this is due to the number of homes the construction manager, who did his best, has to handle. Also, very few union people on the job which is reflected in the issues. All that being said, we are in the house and enjoying it and the neighborhood. IMO many of the issues that arose during construction could have been avoided if the construction manager had fewer homes to manage.

The company needs to follow up on claims and try to improve quality of home by reviewing the comments and seeing if they are achievable to make a home flow better. They appear to want quantity not quality!

We have numerous items that remain unresolved from our walk through and punch list. Several are significant. We have not heard back on any of them. We closed June 22. Over a month ago. We have also submitted other issues through the warranty process and none of them have been resolved. No communication. Nothing fixed.

It is very difficult to trust people in this build when construction supervisors, customer care, etc. are moved to other projects. Customer care rep. was good about touching base with us on open tickets-airteam showed up when scheduled, however, whoever is in charge of landscaping has done nothing to correct the mistakes made in the front, side and partial backyard. They were here over two weeks ago and said they would be back to fill in the yard and replace some of the grass but we haven't seen them since. I was also told that they couldn't replace any of the grass on the side because they have a budget. Our sales rep (who was wonderful) was moved before our completion as well as our construction supervisor. This week we were informed that the customer rep (who seemed to be on top of what was going on) has been moved to another project. We are beginning to feel like this neighborhood is just a stepchild to Pulte. ... More

Pinchlist items not completed a month after close Construction supervisor was awesome when you had his attention ! Seemed he was overloaded and communication was not timely. Sales person held communication together!

The beginning of my process was great, good communication, pre-sheetrock walk through good, regular updates. The final 45 days not so good. My builder representative did the surprise, it's ready early after telling me the house would be ready later for months. Then 2 days before closing wanted to push closing for a few minor things - all theatre! Do not close if you have even the smallest items outstanding, it's almost impossible to get them done after closing. Pulte may build a good house structurally but the finishing of the home & attention to details is of poor quality.

While we rally like the community and the home design, we've had more issues than we would have anticipated for a home of this cost and new construction. While the basic construction seems to be of good/average quality, the finish and some of the materials (windows substandard (poor build and screens not well fitted), cabinetry faulty glue system, roofing system not executed to code (ridge vent), terrible HVAC drain design, concrete is poor - rust spots all over) were not of the quality expected. Trade work was of a poorer quality than expected as well as drywall and paint work is of mediocre quality and corrections have been challenging to get done. Insulation execution was inadequate (found to be a "dusting", and when "corrected" still less than required by code (based on certified home inspection after closing). On an upside, the home design in general is very nice and we like the layout and location of the home, but for the cost, this is not the standard we felt we would receive. Advise any buyers conduct extensive due diligence on materials/labor that will be used as well as any warranties to those materials and the overall home prior to purchase. ... More

Average quality, amenities are very good.

Still waiting on deficiencies from last walk through

If you don’t mind limited choices, sloppy finish work, and design that focuses on saving the builder money rather than what’s best for the client, then Pulte is the home for you!

Interior doors, handles, windows, bath & kitchen fixtures, interior paint for a base plan are lowest quality and would predict would have to replaced after warranty. You are not really given options to choose interior paint beside color. The stage management system is frustrating. There should be a point person from start of build until the first year after closing. At each stage it seemed the home buyer was starting over.

My review is mixed. My hopes were met with disappointment on many levels. Working with Tracy G at the sales center was everything I could ask for…10 stars! I financed with Pulte and that was an unending nightmare unfortunately. I have perfect credit, income, no debt, a huge down payment and documentation for everything yet had it not been for VP of processing Nick H. stepping in after 90+ days of torture, my loan would never have gotten done. He gets 10 stars and his team of processors and underwriters get 0. The level of workmanship and finishing on my new home is below expectations. Pulte cuts a lot of corners to save a few cents and the results become apparent upon move in. Jason S, my construction manager was my angel (50 stars for Jason). After I moved in and showed him the things I discovered he addressed the issues quickly and for that I am grateful. If you buy a Pulte home, my suggestions are 1) Don’t finance with Pulte unless you want your brain to explode 2). Hire an inspector to check EVERYTHING for your final walk through before you sign off. ... More

Many personnel changes during process. Hard to get a response or attention to problems.

There were several (5) issues missed during inspection (breakers, electrical, A/C, insulation, and missing items). Very difficult to contact Pulte Warranty group to resolve issues and they were not responsive (didn't return calls, took days to address issues with vendors, etc.) during the process. Eventually my Warranty contact left Pulte and I was not notified. I've been living in my home for over a month and the issues have still not been completely addressed. Additionally, quality of build and components used has not been great in relation to price of the home.

Decent house for the cost but workmanship was average or below. Interior painting was terrible. The quality of paint and application was rough. Sloppy exterior work and cement stains were all over the pavers. Repeated calls to our construction supervisor were basically ignored or excuses were made with no action. From the beginning, our salesman was attentive, but after we paid in full he went silent with very little communication as to our concerns over details.

When problems became more obvious after closing the response from the customer service group is non-existent. My front porch floods and has standing water on it for days after a rain or when trying to wash off dust. I first put in a ticket at the end of March and 3 times since then and still no response. My garage trim is pulling away from stucco and no response. I can now put my entire hand behind it. I am now hiring an inspector who supposedly has good luck getting Pulte to respond to his lists. More small problems coming up but it is too frustrating to deal with the paperwork so will let the inspection service deal with it. After owning a Del Webb home 26 years in Las Vegas I am very disappointed with the lack of customer service here ... More
