Del Webb Reviews in Charlotte, SC

I have nothing good to say about Pulte homes. I paid almost half a million for my house and have been very disappointed in the quality of work. Nicks in laminate flooring, screw holes in the garage where they put up the garage door wrong but neglected to fix the holes. Sloppy finish work the caulking is bad throughout the whole house. The microwave was not installed correctly, the kitchen range is crooked and don’t even get me started on the staircase railing. When the come to fix something the usually make it worse. I have talked to home owners in Carolina Orchards and they to have had similar problems and some had worse. All Pulte is interested in is getting their money then slapping up a poorly built house. If someone asks me I would tell them (DO NOT BUY A PULTE BUILT HOME THEY PROMISE THE MOON AND YOU GET A VERY SLOPPILY BUILT HOME FOR YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ... More

Lots of unkept promises, shoddy workmanship, and no quality control,

This group was the most disorganized group from Sales through Construction. Const Managers overworked and unable to stay on top of quality fit and finish Many Many mistakes made in the construction process that required repair or replacement which if I had not caught them they would have been covered up by drywall at buyers loss. Corporate mandates the use of low priced paper based trim and takes short cuts on Lock sets and wiring options so they can improve margin at the buyers expense. I bought a $350 home for $560 K . I found that by being present each and every day it allowed me to see all the errors and or short cuts ......... best bet for a buyer is to be onsite each and every day as this seems to be the best way to be sure the building process is as expected and done properly. Its now been almost one month and I still have not had a Thank You or are you Satisfied with your home from the division or corporate and yet they cleared a substantial margin but not Thanks for your business. ...

There is no quality control that I could see. My review came up with over twenty items that needed to be fixed. After turnover I am still finding poor workmanship. If you do not have any building experience, I would suggest finding someone who will be able to spot these items before you agree to close on the house

We were excited about our new home and the lifestyle that a Del Webb community has to offer. But the house has been extremely disappointing. I’ve never seen such shoddy workmanship in the many years I was a Realtor showing all kinds of homes. Just today, one of our neighbors pointed out that our two month old house is about to lose the trim above the garage door. It is barely hanging on! The wood used for trim inside the house looks like rejects from a more quality oriented house builder. It is full of nicks and notches that were just painted over. Walls are crooked and there is paint slopped over hardware and light fixtures, etc. Obviously, the painters did not remove hardware before painting. Caulking is really bad to nonexistent. The sink in our wet bar is crooked. I was told someone would be out to check that several weeks ago and never heard back. Our microwave oven has a couple of dents. I could just go on and on… We get the distinct impression that Pulte emphasizes quantity rather than quality. They seem to want to throw homes together as quickly as possible to inflate their bottom line. Forget about the consumer! It is appalling!!! We and our neighbors paid rather large lot premiums for a view of a pond behind our homes. Soon after we moved in, we noticed the pond was being drained. No one bothered to let us know, and we later found out it was for making “improvements.” It has now been drained for several weeks with no evidence that anything is actually being done! We asked the HOA president last week about this issue, and he didn’t seem to know too much about it but was going to have a meeting with a Pulte person yesterday and then was going to get back to me today. I never heard back and tried calling him this afternoon but was told he’d left for the day but that he’d be back on Tues. And no one else knows what’s going on. So we are still left in the dark and are incredibly frustrated by our view of what used to be a pond and not having any idea of what is being done or when. ... More
