Del Webb Reviews

Finished wood work done sloppy, cabinets finished poorly, even with one color paint the job wasn’t done well For the money paid nothing outstanding about the house

Always check the property thoroughly when taking the keys, there was quite a few cosmetic issues when we were given the keys.

I have a long list of complaints, which I will send seperatly to delWebb

The quality of materials is good but the workmanship is poor, especially the finish work. Getting punch list items fixed is not easy. I had to hire my own crew to come in after closing.

Much thought needs to be done UP FRONT before signing to build in an age restricted property. There are limited options. Little can be changed. There are no grab bars provided in showers/baths. Landscaping is atrocious with sod thrown down every which way leaving potholes that you can break your ankle in. Site foreman are so-so. All promise Arpege.....but deliver toilet water. Our front shutters are painted 2 different colors. If you want to buy properly, you need to be here all day long to witness what's going on during construction. . We found children doing internal painting. The Pulte community is great, the sales people terrific, but construction aspect is a real bummer and results in costly post purchase modifications. ...

Workmanship is my biggest disappointment. Sloppy painting and caulking. Oversized cutouts that had to be repaired (at least the one's I saw before closing). Cabinet finish work, clean-up lacking, yard is not leveled... I will say the tile work in the master bath specifically is great work. Pulte has responded to 3 out of 4 warranty requested repairs.

Our satisfaction with Pulte kind of ran out after closing when we could not get much response from them regarding our paint and tile issues. Our construction manager moved on just as our house was finished, and though he promised us at our walk through that our concerns would be taken care of to date (over a month after closing) we have had no follow through from anyone.

Overall the quality of the Pulte home is OK. My impression is that in some areas, especially finish work the personnel got a bit sloppy. On one pantry rack one bracket was missing and some of the caulk was sloppy. My main complaint deals with TAC who is the design center used in this community. I would never recommend TAC. The service we received at the initial appointment was terrible and the quality of the floor they put in was terrible. We had to replace it at our cost.

Things were not completed and when we contacted the Forman he stated we needed to contact the warranty department. Called about Windows not cleaned inside and out. They also left a razor blade on the outside sill to leave a rust mark on the outside window sill. Front door seal not put on properly and the fix was to add a piece of foam at the top of the door. We are away right now and will have to call when we get back home. Called many times to have front eve painted to no avail. Still needs to be done

If you want a custom built home, find someone else, Pulte is not the builder for you!

Actually too early to rate some of these characteristics. My Field Manager was extremely responsive and trustworthy and that is the main element during the building process. Will have to wait to see how issues are resolved during the warranty period.

We wish we had hired an independent inspector to inspect the home throughout the build process. This would have caught a lot of the construction issues we are dealing with post-closing.

We are really disappointed that the quality and follow-up on issues has been so lacking. Our closing got delayed 3 times mainly due to quality issues (and very obvious stuff). We probably should have delayed it further for issues that were promised to be resolved after close (50% now resolved after 6 weeks) but they wore us down and had to vacate previous home. That being said, we do not regret our decision to come to our Del Webb community and will continue to be a thorn in the side until all is resolved.

Check very close on interior painting(doors), wall finishing.

Get everything thing in writing. Make your list write down issues with a good Description.

Del Webb staff members work hard to fix the problems created by the subcontractors. It would be better if the problems were eliminated before they arose.

When purchasing a home, we are often caught up in the joy of the moment. Time and time again, we view the models, bring friends and loved ones to get their reactions, hoping to make a purchase. Where we go wrong as potential buyers is that we forget to look at the overall construction and time spent in building our home. It is no surprise that when we do our walk through, we are caught up in the moment, just wanting to get in. The nightmare starts when we realize that there are so many problems, from leaks, poor installs, grout errors, poor paint matches, out of alignment windows, and just sloppy workmanship that we will spend the better part of 8 weeks stuck at home waiting for repairs that should have been done correctly in the first place. Listen and talk to others in Del Webb communities before you go with a builder who produces inferior builds. It's your home, make sure it is built with integrity. ... More

Don't deal with Pulte Mortgage

Home was not finished at closing. Floors were paint and stucco spattered. Promises on follow through for cleaning and repairs were not met in timely fashion.

The quality and materials are above average and the value is well worth the price. The trust factor is not good. The sales and materials coordinator were very trustworthy. The building foreman were in too big a hurry and the subs made way to many mistakes. You would think they could build the same house over and over and not make the same mistakes, but they do. You can tell they get rewarded by the number houses built per month. Lot's of rushing to compete houses at EOM. Issues are ignored during building and the goal is to get to closing as fast a possible and let the warranty team fix the problems. The warranty team is doing a good job, but all of this could be better, cost effective and on time and under budget with just a few tracking changes. But, pretty much management does not want any feedback, they have this and they know what they are doing, and could care less about correcting the problems. The answer is it was designed this way. ... More

The house floor plan is great. The community is better. But the workmanship was not nearly as good as I had expected. The dry wall is not even, the vanity lights are not level. The vanity in the master bath is not square. The good news is that that customer service has been responsive. Although the problems have not yet been fully resolved six weeks after move-in.

The workmanship is not as good as we expected

I would not purchase another Del Web home. There are a lot of hidden charges and they are not flexible at making changes.

The buying experience was great. The construction quality and process, not so good.

Multiple visits required to do repairs and replacements after move in.
