Del Webb Reviews

Within 2 weeks of moving in we realized our driveway had some serious defects. Our Pulte project manager said it should be replaced. His boss refused any work on it.

They tell you that this home is as close to a custom built home as you can get, what a joke that is. Walls were not square, which means drywall is not square, shotty workmanship, paint spray all over my floors and my appliances which I can’t get off, garage door has gaps around the seals, so we will be fighting keeping the snow out this winter, I requested some special orders on some items and they charged much much more than what I could have bought them myself, I could go on and on. Did not get the quality of home that we expected for the price we paid. Our construction manager did what he could but he could only do so much. I would love to have the people at the top see if they would accept their house in the condition that we did. I would welcome their visit to my home anytime. ... More

After living in the new home for 2 months, I can now see the slipshod construction. Ramshackle quality. I thought I was moving into a more refined community. Instead what I find is the intolerable noise from all the ATV's that ride all over my block by Elderly Easy Riders. The NOISE comming off of Falcon Ridge is like nails on a chalk board. There needs to be a sound wall. The heavy traffic reverberates all though out the paper thin construction. The Poliars ATV that Illeagl for street use in Calif, is permitted in Mesquite. They scream at outrageous DBs to achieve 24 mph and are obnoxiuos beyond belif. Why the HOA and community would allow these inconsiderate relics from Yasgars Farm to have and drive these things destroys the senerity of the community. The marginal constuction of the house does nothing to insulate the people living in it from the offensive noise level. Terrible place to live. ... More

Potential to deliver a quality experience is there, but unfortunately it is not achieved

Poor follow up after closing.

Finish work is substandard. Materials are also poor quality, examples are the light bulbs that failed on day 1.

Materials were generally of good quality. However the quality of the workmanship was poor.

There have been good experiences in this process unfortunately there have been some that have been not. It’s a shame that the construction manager who should manage the building of your home settles for a standard called, it’s close enough. He will tell you what you want to hear so that you move along and when he doesn’t deliver, he will not answer your emails, texts or phone calls. The warranty customer service area is slow and does not keep you in the loop as to where your work order is. Better communication with the home owner would be much appreciated instead of wondering if your work order disappeared. ... More

I would never recommend Pulte as a builder. The quality for the price was not good. The follow through with construction issues was poor. I was asked to say that the home was complete at closing, even though it was not complete. The house is not complete as of 10/22 and we closed on 8/10.

Numerous issues- Pulte Mortgage, floors had to be replaced and now still having cracking problems, mirror fell off the wall ( took one month to replace), windows caulked poorly, kitchen cabinets installed wrong ( still no resolution) poor design of bathroom lights, heating and air installed wrong, drywall is wavy in ceilings, quality of trim is poor, quality of painting is questionable, trim on garage door falling off! Working with warranty rep has been slow and unsatisfactory

The overall workmanship on the home was poor. the interior had many areas that were done poorly. After we move in, we called the customer care line twice (gutter problem) and have never received a call back.

I would not recommend a Del Webb home if I were asked about it

Make sure you ask a lot of questions prior to buying. Most of finishes and details are standard and very basic. You need to negotiate for upgrades.

Tradesmans work quality is lacking. Materials used are low end with top dollar pricing. Repairs usually require a second call back to get it done correctly.

Get everything done that is not up to your Standards before you close, Because there will be a lot of confusion and unorganized Problems! You will have a difficult time getting them to fix things RIGHT !

First of all, let me be clear. Karl, our field manager, was the BEST ever. He was did his best in trying to schedule the trade men to tackle the items needing attended - by there was and still is a delay in getting things done. He bent over backwards for us. We paid a lot of money for our wood floors; probably way more than if we would have done it ourselves from a separate flooring company. But, I wanted to file a claim, the floor representative came out and said indeed there are many issues and would get it fixed - but have not heard anything. Not sure why Pulte uses a whole panel screen for the lanai - the screen comes undone so easily and repairs will be needed after each heavy wind. Should be a better way of installation and/or product. There should be more customer customizations while making choices - not just a cookie cutter and that’s the way it is. ... More

Check all doors, cabinets and garage doors. Too many chips, cracks and spaces in cabinets walls etc. Noises when closing the garage door. When you do the walk through, prior to signing, take the time to look carefully at the entire home. If you see inferior quality workmanship and the poor condition of doors and cabinets, say so.

Ask lots of questions and hopefully get truthful answers.

several workmanship issues for new home that were completely unnecessary. there were several almost stupid mistakes and issues that the builder should have seen during the building process. the field manager did a great job to correct them and the warranty department run by a lady here at del web is wonderful, she schedules everything that's needs to be fixed, you can count on her. most members we spoke with were very disappointed with issues in their homes caused from the builder.

Try to hold off on filling out the survey until all major items with your house have been addressed. While we do love our home and the neighborhood I feel the quality of the house is low compared to what I've had in the past (2 custom-built homes). We had to elevate our issues and they seem to be a bit more focused on getting items fixed. There is just not a lot of attention to detail, and while they use name brands ie Kohler it is really the low end of the brand.

Quality and workmanship is absolutely awful. Huge lack of pride in workmanship, interior finishes and if their clients are taken care of. The construction crews are some of the worst in the business.

We have continually had issues with water in our owners suite closet in a Blue Rock home. First it was the no hot water. Second, water in the closet - still have a dehumidifier in my closet. We moved in April 21st. Thirdly toilet stopped up. Fourth rocks everywhere in the yard along with plastic bottles, wood, or whatever construction workers used was left in our yard and is still there. Of these issues, we have received a new water heater, Toilet makes weird noise when flushing and water in the closet coming from somewhere????? Rocks in the yard and wood and other objects in the yard is an issue as well. I would not refer anyone to purchase one of your homes because it appears workmanship is NOT the best. ... More

Options are way overpriced compared to after market choices

Attention to details very disappointing. The field manager has tried to help and keeps telling us he understands and is going to "fix" all the concerns. We will see how that goes. So far he has helped on most items. Coments like "we know we have a problem with that" don't give us much comfort.

We had a great field manager which was the highlight of our home building process with Dell Webb. We had a really bad experience with the design center and sales office. Coining out of our design center visit we had selected and signed off on a specific design for an inside fireplace. During construction we noticed that the area was being framed for a totally different design than what we had selected. Instead of the fireplace being located in the middle of the wall design it was located in the corner next to the outside wall by a window. We contacted the sales office and advised them of the issue and asked them to allow the builder to change to the design we had ordered or to take it out. We did not ask for our money back, simply to right the mistake that was made. Neither the sales office or management would accommodate our request. We were furious and almost walked away from the home. We went through with the purchase only because we fell in love with the community. We have been in our home for a little over a month and now will have to spend more money to have the fireplace design modified to our original selection. We will not build another home with Dell Webb/Pulte because of this experience. ... More
