Del Webb Reviews

One of the most disappointing aspects of the finished product was the painting, inside and out. A lot of places were missed and the drip spots were not cleaned up.

Quality of workmanship is poor. Quality of faucets, towel bars, toilets and sinks is poor. I recommend Hans Groehe and Toto manufacturers.

It wasn't a smooth process especially after we moved in. I would 2nd guess this decision

Pulte cannot be trusted to construct a solid home at DelWebb grand dunes. We have had nothing but problems since moving in. Although there was a tension given in the first 30 days it has fallen off significantly after that. The quality of workmanship is terrible. Not one door was painted properly; neither the top nor bottoms of the doors were sanded and painted and there were many doors in need of a complete re-painting. The wall paintings were never cut in at the top or bottom moldings. There were pieces missed and whole walls need to be re-painted. The kitchen counter at the breakfast bar and the island needed a complete replacement as did a lot of grout work which is still not satisfactory. It doesn’t appear that there is one square wall in the entire house and studs are placed at 20 inches apart and not the standard 16 inches and although they say this is to code it is also to cut down on construction costs. We are grossly unhappy after having paid 1,000,000+ dollars to live there. And I haven’t even mentioned the landscaping. There are so many weeds growing between the slabs of grass that it’s embarrassing that this is their quality of workmanship. I have not met one homeowner who doesn’t complain about the construction quality of their home. There is a serious problem with Pulte management. I tried to call the vice president of operations for construction and never returned my email or phone call. This is unconscionable. ... More

The carftmenship on this home is terrible. the builder went as cheap as is could and stay in codei

The gas pipe is out to far to put my stove into place needed to find a handyman to fix that and our outdoor hose spicket at our cost very shady. We have already closed and no one can help us from Pulte

We bought this home because we were told they use high quality materials and oversee the craftsmanship and the quality in your home would be superior! Our home is not even close we were so disappointed with all the flaws the materials that they used items they did not finish a build out at this cost should be high quality. We feel that we got half of what expected in a quality home this house will probably go up for sale soon we are that disappointed.

For the price of our Del Webb home I expected a much better outcome. Our sales person & final construction manager we’re TERRIFIC, but the workmanship was HORRIBLE! I will be filling MANY imperfections, sanding, painting & fixing many outstanding issues myself.

Quality control seemed to be non-existent. Numerous issues discovered before closing, still not addresses. Still finding quality issues on a daily basis. This is mediocre track home quality at a price point that approaches a semi-custom home. 48 days past close, no resolution on 15k pro range installation issues. Two other repairs resulted in further damage. (Countertop damaged by tooling, floor grout stained after bogus attempt to “paint” island cabinet skins that don’t match. Countertop repaired, but grout stains remain and cabinets still don’t match) Seeing these stains drives me nuts multiple times per day. Overall, the quality of the finish in this house is substandard. ... More

Purchasing experience excellent process done professionally. However, VERY,VERY dissapointed with completion of home several unfinished areas in spite of same addressed before & after closing. Follow-up as per policy with telephone calls and email to date NO response.

Can’t believe anything said

The workmanship should have been much higher quality than what we received. Paint splatters on the floors were everywhere throughout the house. Tile work was poorly executed. Doors are not hung properly. Moulding around door frames and cabinets are cut short leaving big gaps. The sliding glass doors were not installed properly and leaked during the first rain storm. Bugs were constantly entering the house due to the glass doors not having insect barriers installed. I could go on but I will run out of room. We have been in the house for over a month and nothing has been corrected. I go through the proper process of reporting things that need to be repaired, but we have not received any response as to when the repairs will be made. There is a lack of communication from customer service. Additionally if you pay cash there is no information shared at closing. Just a handover of keys. ... More

Honestly I haven't met one person in Del Webb that has had a positive experience with outstanding issues that need to be addressed in their home. The comments leave me to wonder how long it will be before our issues are addressed.

Pulte mortgage procrastinated in locking in my rate for two months resulting in the interest rate jumping .625 percent, costing me over $400 a month.

Poor attention to detail and finish work. Many items left unfinished and not yet corrected, a month after closing. Examples: baseboards not properly joined, front door trim not finished, thresholds and transitions not completed, cracked window trim not repaired, chips in quarter rounds, stovetop scratched, lots of caulking not done, scuttle door in closet not finished, and more relatively small items. Although I know I’ll love living in my new townhome, the number of punch list items and trying to get things fixed as they should have been (and as I was assured they would be), is quite frustrating and disappointing. ...

I would advise to not close on your house until they address every issue you see. After you close, the construction manager forgets what they promised to take care of. We’ve had the house 2 months and still don’t have a doorknob to a linen closet. Once we did our 30 day walk through with the warranty person, a lot of issues are being taken care of including 6 doorknobs that the construction manager knew were in the house but didn’t send anyone to install.

High priced homes with low quality work.

Should not have closed on house til all things were done. Still waiting for glass in master shower. Two months, carpet installed improperly in master closet, kitchen hood still not finished. Woodwork and doors, door frames dings, dents, paint runs.

I'm still waiting for blinds, and other things in the house. The workmanship is mediocre at best. I have been waiting for them to finish things in the house. I love sun city, but the house isn't.

Be aware that the labor used to build the home are less than skilled. Most likely they were picked up at Home Depot for the day. Rugs laid wrong, poor grouting, kitchen cabinets damaged, painting was sloppy, all over windows and driveway when we closed on the house. I have previously purchased 19 new homes. This was the worst.

Being an out of state purchaser, we had to contact them for any progress reports or schedule visits that were part of their promotional materials. We were never told our expected completion was moved from June/July to August/Sept until June. When an issue with the quality of a truss being used that was revealed in pictures and email to them, we had to contact home office before being addressed. Three other truss were installed broken and repair on site. Our shower started leaking which was the result of a staple being in the waterline. The lot was poorly graded and turf was poorly laid with some dead pieces of turf. The other parts of home were acceptable, but the master bedroom crown molding was missed, which was in the building plans and a small part of the roof was missing shingles. These items were corrected before final inspection. ... More

I would suggest hiring private inspectors though out the process. They will ensure that everything is done right.

We wish we would of investigated Pulte as a whole. The buying of course was easy! Design center experience great. The problems are with the finished home project. We have numerous fixes. Very disappointed as a whole.

This builder workmanship is poor. They throw up the homes. They build homes with crooked walls, uneven window seals. They throw your yard in leaving big gaps where you could twist your ankle while walking in your yard. They even out dead grass down and don’t level the yard so water won’t stand. They say they will return to replace dead grass but never do. If they do come back to fix something they then make another mess which needs to be fixed. Horrible home builder , no pride in their work.

THE QUALITY OF THE HOME IS NOT VERY GOOD.
