Del Webb Reviews

Carpet were down and house was upon for a month with worker walking on them. No quality control.

One of their mantras is "Build Quality" but they hire the low bidder and each of tell them that this is a "production home", thus the quality suffers. The caulk, spackle & paint job on my house was the worst I've ever seen and I've seen plenty as I was in the construction management industry for 40 years. Also, they don't always use top quality products. For instance, the electrical outlets are very difficult to plug in to. The bathroom toilets and kitchen sinks were low grade quality also,

We were promised a smooth build process with lots of communication. Didn’t happen. The only way we found out about anything was to visit the build site after hours, and ask questions. It usually took a day or 2 to get any answers. House is solid, but the finish work is shabby. Example: We had paint on the floor all around the house next to the base shoe. We were also misled on the home options and lost out on a chance to have a sunroom. We found out just after footers were dug but they would not let us revise the plan under the guise of permitting being completed. We offered to pay for new permits to add the sunroom but we’re flatly turned down. We ended up with three different closing dates, postponing our move-in by a month. Each failed closing date came with a notification just a few days before the closing. ... More

I was very unhappy about the 15 months it took to build, and the morgage game they played on me!!!

the title should speak for itself.

We were excited to do our walk through about a week before our closing date. There were still quite a few unfinished items, missing stove vent, stove, touch up paint, cabinet scratches etc. The representative jotted them down on a paper and we were supposed to sign off, go ahead and close and trust them to finish. We were told repeatedly it would happen in a day or two but it didn't. I understand there are labor shortages and supply chain issues but don't fib about it. At 30 days post close, I texted our guy and asked when we could expect the touch ups to be done. I never even got a response!

Its been weeks since Warranty was advised about many items that need correcting and very few have been addressed. The finishing work in the house was not good many items were not correctly done.

not a luxury experience, poor internal communications between builder, mortgage, and in house title company, salesperson excellent and carries the burden for the brand. DWRM seems to have really gone down in neighborhood quality in these last phases. Dirty work sites, skimpy landscaping etc.

the workmanship has declined over time trying to get people in ASAP. the workers don't seem to care about doing the job right they just want to do it fast. I think the builder is wasting too much money redoing jobs that should have been done right in the first place. It causes money being lost and bad PR. I'm willing to talk further about this with anyone

You’re signing up for a production line house with a custom price. Don’t expect your house to not have most/all the defects that others have had. Pulte does not appear to improve its methodology as it goes.

NOT TRUSTWORTNINESS, NON-RESPONSIVENESS TO ISSUES MIS-LEADING ON SALE WITH ITEMS YOU LATER DO NOT RECEIVE AFTER YOU AGREE ON PURCHASE. MANY PROMISES NOT KEPT

The communication to us from the Sales office and building Manager was very poor. The whole experience was terrible but the DelWebb North Ranch community is beautiful

Here is a short list of our issues at closing Hot water not working Gas not working Washer dryer not working Gas range not working No refrigerator Mirrors and glass scratches throughout Outside gas outlet not working Hvac heat/cooling not working Door crack front door Master shower handheld not Installed Drywall hole coming in from garage Garage floor coating coming up

While I know there have been "supply chain issues," what was initially an exciting event turned into a very disappointing experience.

The contract called for an insulated garage door, now they say they cannot deliver it and offered a $500 credit. No way you can buy a door for that price! What an insult!

There was and is a lot of grout on the vinyl plank flooring. I have spent over three hours so far removing it and still have a couple of hrs. to go to finish removing the grout in every room. Installed grout looked to be installed by someone who had never done it before. Areas that should have grout around door trim, baseboard trim, doors windows in every room was absent in every room. The roll out cupboard shelves have fallen apart on two cupboards. The hinges on the front door fell off, and the door was hanging by 2 screws that were about 1 1/2 inches long that were obviously much too short to hold a heavy door. The cement work on the front driveway and entrance was very rough and unfinished looking. Light could be seen on both the front and back doors( about 1/8 to 1/4 inch gaps) Lots of cold air entered the home for the first three weeks we lived here durning a very cold winter weather snap. The electrical and other boxes (3) total were not closed properly and were covered in rocks and debris(located in front yard). The light to the attic was left on by construction personnel and has been burning 24-7 for the last 37 days as my husband is disabled and I am not willing to climb a ladder and enter thru the small attic opening. Everyone in the community comments on the very poor workmanship on these homes. I have built 5 brand new homes in my life and have never experienced this kind of poor workmanship before. In the other 8 homes I have lived in for years I did not have the number of nicks, scratches etc. on workweek, doors, paint that were in this home on the day I moved in. I have pictures if you would like me to send them . ... More

You don't move to Del Webb for the house quality. Poor workmanship, very mediocre materials and and very slow response, if any to make things right. Very disappointed!

Very poor workmanship for a high-priced product. What we got wasn't what the model looked like. Although Del Webb stands behind their product and eventually everything will be fixed, the continual no-shows by contractors are doubly disturbing. You would think it would be much better for both Del Webb and the owners if things were done right the first time. Quality Control is definitely lacking.

I’ll start with the sales experience. We were very interested in this development from the get-go. We signed up for the grand opening sales event, walked thru 3 models and got pricing on those models, but requested info on another model. Despite follow-up emails and phone calls, it took 4 months for someone to get back to us. Needless to say, the prices increased substantially in those 4 months. Once we signed the contract, it became a game of hurry-up and wait. Our first construction manager would send an email asking us to schedule something the next week, which we did, then we didn’t hear back from him for a month. (Our second construction manager has been great and much more responsive.) Then one month prior to closing we were advised the flooring we picked out was not available at that time and to pick another one. All the decisions you make from cabinet color, to granite, to carpeting, to flooring is based on how things look together. This was a problem because I could not find one I liked as much as my original selection, but now have to live with it for years to come. I think Pulte settled for poor workmanship in an effort to close on our house before the end of the year. Many issues became apparent after we moved in a month ago - caulk in the bathroom and crown molding is separating in spots, the wood around the glass panels of the office door is very damaged, weatherstripping gaps at the front door, a piece of trim is coming down from ceiling in the covered patio, windows are very drafty, and a damaged fence, And, because these things weren’t noticed until after the final walk through, we now have to wait 11 months before anything can be fixed. ...

House is well built - very pleased. Our sprinklers, flower beds / landscaping and grass sod is absolutely horrible. 3/4" water pipe for sprinklers was leaking & flooded our back yard. I identified 2 major low spots in the back yard & the builder ignored me during our final walk through. I had to fix the 2 low spots myself. The sod was laid on unbelievably unlevel ground. I had to fix the unlevel ground under the sod - remove clods, humps and fill in the holes on the entire yard.

we were out of state for the entire building process. i would not consider ever doing that again with this builder.

I found the home buying experience was difficult but partially because the pandemic. I would purchase a home already built if I could do it again. I'm very happy with my home but its nice to see what your getting and Pulte does not let you customize anything which I found to be frustrating.

Very unorganized and frustrating experience

We’ve had experience with Pulte before and it was good. Pulte today is unresponsive to all the mistakes in the workmanship of these homes. At this point, I’m terribly disappointed in Pulte. It appears that nobody wants to take responsibility.

Still have issues pending Hopefully they will be resolved soon
