Del Webb Reviews

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

It was a pleasure working with our field manager John. We believe any issue that came up he resolved immediately. We cannot say the same about her 30 day walk-through. Like any home you find issues after you move in. At this point we believe we are not getting honest answers and a run around on problems that need to be addressed. Our advice is make sure everything is fixed prior to closing

Really great buying experience, Paul the builder was the best.

Overall, the home buying and building experience was positive.

All new homes have some issues but our experience with Dell Webb/ Pulte, has been positive. When we sent items that needed to be addressed, they were fixed in a timely fashion. We LOVE this community!

When problems occured Jeremy saved the day, and I thank him f or that. He is a true Professional.

Everyone with whom I have had contact has been great.

This has been a good experience. Of course there were some things that had to be corrected or fixed after the build, but they were done promptly, by qualified people who were very respectful and pleasant. My Field Manager was very response to my requests.

You must hire your own Home Inspector because there are serious mistakes being made by builder in this subdivision that is serious. Pultegroup needs to make some big changes in construction quality as it is poor

Overall positive experience

I would suggest that if you purchase a Pulte home, you purchase a bare bones unit, then gut what’s inside and have your own contractors finish it properly and the way you want it done. Why Del Webb would ever associate themselves with Pulte Homes is beyond me.

Very knowledgeable

Beautiful job. Beautiful amenities. Beautiful location.

Very happy with my house. I had a few very minor issues that were taken care of within a week of calling them in. I want to stress that these were very minor. I'm very happy with Pulte and highly recommend them to anyone who wants a quality built house.

The Sales person was very helpful. The field manager always called to tell us what phase of the building was in and when to expect what the next step will be. Will be glad when we can get the yard and landscaping in. Our suggestion is to new home buyers, is to get the taller bathroom vanities, and the comfort highth toilets.

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.

Our closing got delayed by DW so we had to close when the date came. Several things were undone and we we told they would be done asap. 2 months later they are still incomplete after many promises to get things done.

At the design center, ask for motion detection light in your walk in pantry. They are great! Wish I'd have asked for them in the garage and the entry into the house from the garage. Upgrade paint if you can, I went with "basic" and found that it is water based and will come off if you rub too hard if you mar your walls. After baseboards were installed, the tile people came back and grouted (why I don't know, as I always thought baseboards were to give that "clean" line between floors and walls). The job was poorly done and painter had to return to "fix" the look. Excess silicone was left on windows - think this may be a manufacturer oversight. Be sure to check all the detail work after moving in. My lead contractor on my house was very responsive, getting someone to fix things usually within a day or two; and came back himself to see if the job was done to my satisfaction. ... More

I was assured painters would return to touch up paint throughout the house that had been sanded but no show-Also door frame around front door never finished as promised

Very disappointing experience. Very misleading sales practice. Very inflexible and rather unfair throughout process.

Wife and I love our new home. Just moved in 6 weeks ago. Very pleased with the performance of our Field Manager addressing several cosmetic issues after the closing.

We are pleased with the experience. Only real complaint is with warranty website. We left message when roof damaged. Waited 2 days as website stated and then called. Was very rudely told that it is 3 days no matter what website stated. Called on third day and no record of our original input. Had to start process over. Thank goodness for crews on site that noted severe damage and got it taken care of. Now our roof is again missing shingles and we have to start system again.

The entire experience with our Del Webb home has been great. The representatives were always available and knowledgeable about every question we had, were never rushed, and if we had requests for changes no matter how trivial they may have seemed (e.g. light switch location) they were accommodating. They assigned one person to be our daily contact through the build process and had regular meetings with us at the house to walk us through each phase. Though we haven't had to use any warranty services as we've found no issues in our first couple of months, we have met the warranty representative who came by the house to meet us and give us all contact information should we need it. The only reasons for the 4 star vs 5 star is the home is more expensive than comparable non-Del Webb neighborhoods, but we were willing to pay to be in this community, and it has been worth it. The other 4 vs 5 is due to them still working through some of the subcontractors that aren't top of the line. Though they seem to be closely monitoring them and quickly replacing those that are not reliable. Great experience and a beautiful and well built home! ... More

A beautiful home in an outstanding neighborhood.

I want to start by saying that our overall building experience was good. On the plus side, the house design and features that we agreed to up front, were followed through to perfection. The project manager, Nick, was awesome and kept us informed during the build process and was responsive to our needs. However, we were disappointed with the condition of the home at final walk thru/closing. The whole process seemed rushed, which made for a lot of unresolved issues. For example, the paint that was done so neatly in the model home (e.g. nice clean, straight lines between the wall and trim), looked like it had been rushed in our home, and was not up to our standards. These were not the only items that made me a bit uncomfortable about the quality of the workmanship. The poor workmanship caught our attention, and as we looked further, more significant issues were identified. What did make me feel better about the whole process is that every neighbor that I talked to, people who had lived there for a while, had nothing but good things to say about the Pulte customer service. They explained that you have a year to get any outstanding issues taken care of, and that Pulte was very good about following through on these items. With this in mind, I have no doubts that we will end up with a home we are proud of, but just wish we could have gotten there in a more direct route. My feedback to Pulte would be that they need a mindset change. Our Project Manager was great, but it seemed like the deck was stacked against him-- with sub-contractors who were perhaps not as competent or not as accountable to the DelWebb standards. I would suggest to take the extra time, before the final walk-thru, and have team go through and inspect the home as if they were buying it. Taking care of these issues before the customer sees them would go a long way towards improving their overall customer satisfaction. ... More
