Del Webb Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

Overall good experience. The house is a good one but like a million others EXACTLY like it. Far too limited in color and design choices both inside and out. Pulte should up their game on floor planning options as well… placement of walls and options for owner’s suite bathrooms are far too confined. The people involved in the buy/build experience are GREAT and are what satisfied us as customers…. With the exception of CPI employees (who were not knowledgeable or helpful) everyone at Del Webb, NMB, SC was professional and extremely competent AND treated the buy/build as if it were their own property they were working on. ...

I wish I could have given a higher rating as some Del Webb associates went above and beyond while others were condescending and rude especially in the sales department. Sales is the face of DelWebb and she acted like they were doing us a favor purchasing the home. We ended up losing thousands of dollars and it was a “too bad attitude.” If I could say anything to DelWebb readership …one or two individuals ruined our experience and feeling towards DelWebb as a brand.

Details matter to ensure your options and issues are fully resolved. Seller options are limited and several post close elements were required at buyers expense post move in with local independent service providers to create the home details we wanted.

The punch list was not addressed prior to settlement. Some repairs were attempts to band aid instead of fixing properly. The follow up process to schedule repairs was frustrating and required too much chasing on our part.

The home was generally built well although some of the materials used were not what you would expect in a $600K home. Some of the detail work seemed rushed.

Initially we had many issues with the Superintendent. We asked him to meet us at the house numerous times for issues we saw (a 2x4 split in half and not replaced just toenailed together, porch ceiling framing not attached to header board, still do not know if it was fixed as they covered it up). Once James was replaced with Jay, things improved greatly. Jay was responsive, answered questions and anything that came up he verified with us it was handled. If we would have had Jay from the start, all our responses would have been 5 Star.

Could have been better

Ensure grounds contractor is held accountable for their work.

I have no other comments

Mortgage application and approval process cumbersome and redundant. On Line process not good. Pulte insurance not responsive to questions. Responsiveness to issues with construction after closing slow and some things after more than a month not done.

Very nice craftsmanship and neighborhood.

Pulte has made me feel (as well as other neighbors) that once you close on the house that’s the end of repairs promised by construction manager to get fixed. I’m very disappointed by these actions. When speaking with CM he always pushes my request off to others or says it will be scheduled. I never get any notifications of scheduling dates.

Hard to get in touch with.phone number is always busy,mail box is always full

I like it here but not to happy with the process to get things corrected that are wrong in the homes & since continued building is being done this type of things isn’t getting any better, I actually was told to just keep a list & on the 10th month review them things will get fixed, however, that’s not true because they will them have problems so it’s like a viscous cycle. Thanks

Too long of a response to get things done...workmanship by contractors is just average... BIG DEAL IS NOT ENOUGH DISTANCE FROM ISLAND TO WALL WHERE TV GOES, MAKES GREAT ROOM TO CLUDDERED

Was good we lived nearby and could check the build process along the way. No real issues developed, but we could catch, and get corrected, minor issues well in advance.

Hello, we purchased a Del Webb home with Pulte builder. Our experience was better than we hoped for mostly due to the efficiency of our Contractor Project Manager who was very good at organizing his workers which resulted in a very quick build. All new builds have issues and ours were minimal. As in all purchases, the sales group was a little misleading. In this case in the number of households planned for the neighborhood. After living in the DelWebb community for 6 weeks, we love the neighborhood and activities provided.

We felt rushed through the initial stages and were told no changes could be made after initial meeting at the design stage. This is something that could have been explained better as the design choices were limited and training was being held during our design process. Our Site Building Manager was left to explain details that were left out by sales and design. We would have maybe made other choices. Our Site Building Manager was professional and courteous but was placed in an awkward situation.

Up till close things were great. After close things started to go downhill with responsiveness and house issues. Found a number of issues with the house to include one of the bedroom vents covered in drywall. Cracks to the fine details being missed are starting to add up.

The communication during the building process was excellent. Once we moved in any issues were quickly resolved; however, the quality of some of the work was not that good. The driveway has several areas of spilled paint, the caulking inside is sloppy in many areas and some of the locks were not installed properly.

Dominic is excellent to deal with. He sent me pics showing the progress of the home, and he is very responsive to getting a few items fixed. I appreciate his help to make the process easier for me, because moving from out of state is a difficult process. He always gets back to me the same day, and I think he does a great job communicating. My experience has been excellent thanks to him. I would rate his performance as 5 stars (on a 1-5 scale with 5 being the best). my main issues are cosmetic or deal with landscaping…. The common area behind a few of our homes, should have been finished, but there are weeds growing instead. If this was seeded with grass and mowed like the rest it would be perfect. Also, the landscaping around the house : the bushes planted and the straw are not pretty. I would have preferred to pay extra for mulch like they use at the amenity center. that looks great! I would also have preferred not having the home painted in all flat paint and would have gladly paid to upgrade to other sheens for easy cleaning, like eggshell for the walls and semi gloss for trim. additionally, there are a lot of paint spots on the floor that are not always easy to remove. that was a negative, but again not a major problem just looked sloppy and avoidable. I think they should select a better title for the bathrooms, rather than the distressed which sometimes looks like water damage has occurred. I love the shower and the bench. The water pressure is great. the laundry room is very nice. I really like the kitchen cabinets and the easy close drawers! 5 stars there. the name brands are a plus, but the lack of a finish carpenter shows in the molding issues. and the windows not being square particularly the window over the sink had people the shutter salesmen laughing at how badly it was done, so that's a minus. In general, I'm happy with the home and looking forward to living in the Del Webb community. It's hard to tell now about the value and trustworthiness since that is takes time to tell. Plus, I don’t have a lot of experience to compare like some others do. many of the defects are purely cosmetic, and that would make the experience excellent if that holds true. ... More

They provided mortgage company,home insurance company all from same company.

It has been a long process with some bumps in the road. I must say there has been a recent turnaround with very good communications and actions. We are nearing the end of the list of open issues. Good recovery.

Our sales consultant, Lisa, was terrific! She did all we asked and more to make our new home purchase smooth. We were surprised by a few minor (though not insignificant) discrepancies discovered just after closing, but the construction manager eventually addressed them within our first month of occupancy.

For the most part the home buying experience was good. I bought a spec house already under construction in May 2022. The price I paid was much higher than what a similar spec house is selling for now. So, I don't feel that I got a good value, but I guess that's market dynamics. I wasn't given the opportunity to add or make changes and was basically told that everything had already been ordered for the house. I was disappointed that the drop zone wasn't included or the cabinets over the butler's pantry. The quality of the house seems very good. I love the cabinetry throughout the house and the granite counter tops. The appliances seem top notch although I wish the dishwasher had a stainless-steel tub rather than plastic. There are a few minor details and painting flaws that need to be repaired such as no paint on some trim at the base of the cabinets in the kitchen and the stickers on the windows certainly should have been removed. Also, the attic drop down does not open as the stairs do not clear the opposite wall and will not fully come down. This should have been inspected and corrected prior to the sale. Determining the closing date was a little stressful for me since buying and selling involves scheduling other folks, movers and utilities. They were noncommittal on this and once it was set and I was told the house was finished, they tried to change it again a few days before closing. That was the only time, I got really upset since I had already scheduled movers, utilities and notified the buyers of my former house. It was not changed so I was able to move as scheduled, but it should have never been suggested. I am still waiting on a response to my repair requests, but it has only been a few weeks, so hopefully, I will hear soon. The neighborhood itself is beautiful as are all the amenities to include the Ocean Club. I am overall pleased with my purchase and would recommend the neighborhood to others. ... More
