DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

I’ve had many homes, all NEW builds. This by far is the best. Great community, incredible lot, excellent floor plan and wonderful neighbors. Can’t ask for anything else. Very happy with our choice.

There was a problem with oven that required 3 calls and 2 visits to resolve. The FM had been aware of problem BEFORE Celebration, but did not address it.

We are pleased to have recently moved into our new DiVosta home. Thanks for all the hard work and effort. We are pleased with the outcome and are looking forward to many years of enjoyment!

IslandWalk is a great place to live The home designs are varied. The inside design is poor as cabinets are very small, closets are small, causes limited storage that you have to spend additional money on once you move in. No pocket doors make for poor design as one door opens to block a door behind it? Very odd and poorly designed. In a positive note construction was right on time! The supervisor in charge of my home building was Carson, I must say he was easy to work with, very responsive to phone calls from me and really explained everything before, during and even after I moved in I would call him, he always responded quickly and always concerned, he deserves a raise!! ...

Be careful with upgrades, especially built-in kitchens. You're upgrading for appearance and think you're getting top quality but you're really not given a choice of appliances. Kitchenaid now has a recall on their cooktops and only one option exists that will fit. For us it's not an acceptable option and although money is offered to compensate there isn't anything that fits short of reconstructing the countertop and space below. Not enough time or money to cover that. We love IslandWalk and overall love our new home but the standard appliance packages may be the way to go. You'll have better choices to work with if something goes wrong. The management team is great. ... More

Overall experience was pretty good. We purchased a pre-construction home, but they still allowed us to make a couple of minor changes. The only disappointment is that we missed a couple of things during the walk-through and were later told that those items were not under warranty. If you buy from them, make sure you review every nook and cranny of your home during the walk-through.

Overall we were satisfied with the quality. Main disappointment is that floor and backsplash tiles and especially white grout throughout the house was not sealed by the builder. Having found out at walk through right before closing, I sealed what I could right before furnishings were moved in that day. After 1 month, already some stains that I am unable to remove with the builder's suggested cleaning materials and methods.

Our sales representative was excellent from contract initiation through closing. Initial warranty issues were very slow to be resolved. Our lawn was dying due to irrigation not working. After opening four tickets with Sunny Grove landscaping and subsequent meetings and communication with our management company’s general manager over a five week period we may be seeing some improvement. However, there has been NO response or follow up from SG or our community manager.

Quality needs improvement and much more oversight of trades

Shawn, our project manager, did a great job in overseeing the construction..he was short some "subs" due to hurricane earlier, but was able to maintain the date he originally stated..DiVosta should feel fortunate to have Shawn in their employ as he is very professional..

House was neat and clean All extras and finishes were completed and well done Some cosmetic touch ups must be completed( ( 30 day list)

First. Did not expect perfection but home not built close to perfect. Luckily, we had a fantastic construction manager, Shaun C. Many of the various non Divosta construction crews were not great but acceptable, workers with very little concern for quality and Little attention to detail. Others crews were very good House does requires quite a bit of tlc after purchase. House delivered clean and mostly complete All in all A good experience

Brittnay from warranty has been persistent and effective in addressing our “ punch list” in a timely way.

Love the home, but delays made it rough juggling things around until closing took place. Availability of materials were very frustrating.

Overall a great experience, however lots of cosmetics issues that I had to call out/bring to Customer Care/ the Field Manager's attention to be addressed after closing.

Nice home and well built.

We love our new house

Does an overall decent job from start to finish.

We were disappointed that a fan on the lanai could not be installed b/c there was nothing for the fan to hang on. We have to wait for warranty when we get back in October. Refrigerator was back ordered. This is our 2nd home in Island Walk and DiVosta. Overall experience was good, just a few glitches that we felt could have been addressed w/o waiting for warranty.

Building a home quickly, comes with a trade off. Mistakes will be made. The good news is that Divosta has stood behind their product and warranty by addressing the concerns I've had since closing.

The only issue I had with building this house was the choice of interior paint colors. Colors were limited to eight choices and none would have been my first choice. Then everything gets painted that color including ceilings. I couldn't even get the ceilings painted white. After spending close to $500,000 for a house and you can't get to chose interior paint colors to your requirements was a disappointment.

attention to details by the painters.

Island walk is a great community the people have been welcoming and friendly, Divosta did a good job with us. Project manager did a great job

With workers being dedicated to each facet of construction, and a strong process, home was built in 4 months. Supervisor was very responsive and handled issues promptly. Parts of the work was sloppy - painting especially and some of the installations (e.g. showers).

Love the house but disappointed in the workmanship of the floor tiles, walls and trim as they needed a great deal of cleaning and repair.
