Del Webb Reviews

Way too many excuses as to why they couldn’t meet their commitments. Yes, we were well aware of the staffing and building materials shortages. Took way too long to get someone out to fix things.

Our home took almost twice as long to build as originally told, but that was fine as that seems pretty typical in the Las Vegas market, and we weren't in any hurry. The home is very well built, but right when we did our home designing (after contract was signed) we were told we could ONLY paint the inside FLAT WHITE due to supply issues (no other builders seem to have this restriction). Once our house was eventually complete, we had to wait about 2 months for the wall microwave/oven combo to arrive (more supply issues apparently). The worst part, though, was that we originally went with Pulte Mortgage (Del Webb in-house financing) and while we had a lot of hoops to jump through since we are both self employed, we seemed to check all the boxes to get approved. The main reason we went with Pulte Mortgage was because we were given a $6k credit at closing if we did. Well, it's late January and our house was almost done so we were told that we were closing by end of February and we needed BOTH our personal AND business 2022 tax returns done to get final approval for our loan. The IRS had not even finished publishing final guidelines for the tax year yet. So, VERY LONG story short, we ended up going with Del Webbs "backup lender" and they did NOT honor the $6k closing credit since we did not go with their preferred in-house lender. Very disappointed in how they handled that. They knew from the beginning that if we did not close by the end of 2021 that they were going to require our 2022 tax returns, but NO ONE EVER SAID A THING!! All that said, we love our home and it is very good quality, there were just too many pot holes and speed bumps along the way that, in the end, made it a very frustrating experience and ultimately showed that Del Webb is just looking out for themselves and their bottom line and not really caring about the customer. ...

The whole experience of taking out a mortgage for 1/2 the cost of the property was absolutely terrible. It took me 3 days too pay cash for the house but they couldn't figure out in 4 months if I could afford the mortgage payment. If you have a business, investment properties etc. don't waste you time with Pulte!

Our building construction manager was very responsive however he took time off during birth of his son and during that time, response was less than acceptable. He is back and I assume we will be getting the same response to our punchlist items as expected

For the price of a Pulte home, and the current building quality does not match the price. The poor tiling, painting, and installation workmanship is not acceptable. The missing kitchen parts, appliances, incorrect tiling, etc that was not fixed before we were forced to close at year end does not reflect a superior builder. The current open items that do do have closure dates is totally unacceptable.

The contractor site managers and other personnel have been knowledgeable, polite and considerate. I have had minor problems with the dwelling but so far these issues have been resolved except for items deleted or on backorder. I purchased the backyard landscaping from contractor. I am disappointed with the results and would not recommend this option purchase. However, homeowners who are installing their own backyards and pools lack consideration of the near neighbors. Overall my experience has been marginally positive.

Be aware of base pricing increases when in the discussion phase prior to signing. Base price increases were almost weekly and sales dept was surprised and not able to hold. Even the posted brochure, w/ pricing, in the model became outdated. Know that the home pricing Excludes the land. Land- we had to blind bid for top 3 of 5 lots in a lottery. Totally insane even with current housing environment. Lastly, what builder does not include gutters in the base price? $3.500 upgrade.

Eagerness to close the sale, but lack of attention to the completion of the product.

Your initial survey was requested within 24 hours and provided no time to observe all of the workmanship deficiencies therefore all of the necessary corrections are not yet identified.

This house was rushed and quality suffered. I can not recommend Pulte for a home that is not built that can’t be inspected prior to purchase.

I feel the quality and attention to details was lacking. Once I did the walk through I could see poor painting and floor work. Also three of the drawers wouldn't roll out smoothly or at all. Meaning they installed them knowing this and then walked away from the job. Leaving me to deal with getting it using the warranty.

Models vs options were not clear. Ex - all other townhouse models have shelf under stove top in cabinet. Milan does not. Model has chefs kitchen so there is no way to know there is no shelf - just an empty box. Deceiving!!!

We were not told about many options that we have liked and would have purchased.

Pulte builds these homes as quickly as possible. They use multiple contractors with little supervision. The Pulte Representative is responsible for overseeing every element for approximately 30+ homes. An impossible task. In my case, the wrong fireplace was installed, the wrong countertops were installed, light fixtures in the wrong place, damaged dishwasher installed (and installed improperly), trim kit left off of oven, 200+ items on walk through punch list...

Poor workmanship and quality

Be aware that the builder does not work well with lenders or customers when it comes to scheduling the closing.

I am pleased with the quality of the workmanship that went into my home. There were some issues that stalled the closing of my property, which had me in tears. I felt that I was literally interrogated by one of your sales personal. Thankfully there was an understanding Pulte employee who guided me through working out a solution to complete the sale in a timely fashion. I would not want to go through that agonizing period again and should never had to.

The front gate system is terrible half the time people can’t get in and then some days there own all day . They are unnamed a lot . The management company is a bit irresponsible and too far away with only a email not a phone number . If there was a true emergency it would be a disaster . Need more resposible people at front gate .

Very poor workmanship. Lots of errors to be corrected, especially for the price!

Our experience was not a good one

Workmanship was good considering. Materials used (wood) was very poor. Luckily I had a good foreman. Extremely disappointed in the landscaping. Lawn need to be graded and it wasn’t. We have nothing but a very bumpy lawn that has numerous low dots where water gathers. It’s been 6 weeks and there are spots that never dry. Very disappointed in the way ithe grad was laid (thrown) down.

I think they build a good solid foundation, but the finishing details are far from decent. Painting, trim work, landscaping should be better for the price you pay. No changes are allowed to be made.

Noticed several issues as soon as we moved in. The toilet bowl leaked, trim was missing from under dishwasher, peep hole improperly installed, hole in ceiling next to a vent, light fell out of ceiling and is hanging by the wires and our doorbell improperly wired. Our sprinkler system has not worked for almost 2 months. Numerous calls and several attempts later and they are still not working. After moving in it was determined that a drainage system needed to be installed so they show up one day without notice and start tearing up my poorly laid sod and install drainage pipes that should have been installed when the house was built. The workers just laid the bushes they dug up on top of the soil wherever they thought they belonged. All this is just the tip of the iceberg. Things like screens pulling out of the Lanai that have holes in them, etc. None of the issues are being addressed because of the Corona virus but there is no reason a repairman couldn't enter the house wearing a mask and gloves to complete the repairs and some of the repairs are outside of the home. If I can safely shop at Publix, sit in a restaurant and have a meal or go for a walk on the beach there is no reason repairs can't be made. Stop using Corona virus as an excuse and start making repairs. The icing on the cake is our club house that was supposed to be completed before we moved in on April 1st is still not finished. Houses are being built by the dozens but repairs can't be completed. Very dissatisfied. . ... More

The location is beautiful and peaceful. During the construction process the field project manager kept us updated and informed. Since moving in the list of things that need to be fixed is long. Here are several examples: cracked tiles in master shower, gaps between exterior columns and siding, a screen door that falls off track, roof nails not attached. At last count there are work orders for 8 contractors to return and fix their work. I have given a few examples. The customer care manager has been responsive and communicates as the issues get fixed, but the list is too long for a new house.

The Builder and the Builder manager were very good. Thank you Parker. The Pulte mortgage and everyone involved were awful, with the exception of Josh locally. Worst experience of my life and I will never do it again with Pulte. With all due respect and thank you for asking
