I believe that Divosta tries to put up homes so quickly that workmanship is sloppy. Also once you close on the property getting issues resolved is difficult and frustrating.

POOR WORKMANSHIP IN ALL AREAS

  • Barbara T.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Englewood, FL

TOP MANAGEMENT INSISTED ON AN IMPRACTICAL HOME COMPLETION DATE AND HELD THE PROJECT MANAGER TO THAT DATE. I WAS ASSURED THAT QUALITY WOULD NOT SUFFER UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES BY THE SALES TEAM. HOWEVER, DRYWALL, PAINTING, TILE WORK, APPLIANCE AND CABINET INSTALLATION, PLUMBING, ROOFING, AND CARPENTRY WERE DEFECTIVE IN THE BUILD PROCESS. WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR MANDATED PULTE CLOSING DATE COULD NOT BE MET THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY ON OUR 1260 MILE DRIVE TO THE CLOSING. WE COULDN'T BE MORE DISAPPOINTED IN THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

DiVosta Homes responded:

We would be happy to escalate these concerns for you if you could please email customersupport@pultegroup.com with a brief summary of the issues along with your address and contact information. Thank you. ^AH ...

My home owners guide boasts the build quality experience and customer satisfaction. Still waiting. I will say warranty is doing their best to correct all the issues with the house, but I do not feel that a new house should have had so many failings in so many areas.

Poor communication about construction progress, until we made contact with the construction supervisor. Long delays with no apparent reason. Other delays due to lack of materials and contractors - just like everything else during covid. Poor oversite of quality, however they are responding to correct all mistakes.

Divosta Experience

  • Christopher R.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • February 08, 2022
  • Sarasota, FL

We recently moved into our new house. Our total build out took about 1 year. Our original move in date was supposed to be August. We moved in officially December 31. It was frustrating as the date kept getting pushed back in 1 month intervals leading my family to constantly have to move from short term rental to short term rental. Also, we closed without our house completely being finished which is ok because we agreed to this. However, there seems to be no urgency whatsoever to get our house finished now that we have closed. We have multiple issues that need addressed.

Showing your new home to friends and family should be a fun experience, however we are totally embarrassed by the poor finish work.

  • Peter H.

  • February 08, 2022
  • Sarasota, FL

The finish/attention to detail was terrible and after being in the house for 6 weeks we are still waiting for numerous issues to be repaired. Unfortunately, Pulte/Divosta cares more about moving forward on other houses now that they have our money. We are embarrassed at the quality of the finish work and feel totally disrespected.

Lack of communication.

  • David D.

We closed with the promise our home would be completed. It was not in a livable condition. It hadn’t been painted, cleaned and the paper protecting the tile was still in place. We had to cancel all the deliveries that day. We also didn’t have hot water and the stove leaked gas. Apparently, no one tested them when they were installed . Both were due to poor installation. The washer and dryer were not there and as of 2/08, our pool is still not functional. We closed 12/30. A responsible builder would not have allowed the home to close. One positive, our warranty representative has been ...

Incomplete home at closing

  • Dana S.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • February 01, 2022
  • Sarasota, FL

We closed on the builders deadline and had to wait three hours at our closing for them to secure a certificate of occupancy from the county. Went back to our home after the closing to find debris and unfinished items in our home. Not a pleasant closing experience at all. One month later we are still waiting for punch list items to be completed, our liaison at DiVosta ignores my emails, contractors don’t show up equipped to do repairs due to poor communication with DiVosta. This is our third DiVosta home, but nowhere near the smooth process of the others.

They overcharge on everything. My new bathroom drawers were made smaller I’m sure because it is cheaper for a smaller drawer. I went from a Summerwood to a Stonnewater. I think my bathroom being that much larger should have had at least the same size drawer space. I

Such a difficult time to buy any home including a new construction. Just trying to secure a lot is stressful and difficult to do. So many variables that affect the building process make the next steps as stressful!. But in the end we love our home!

Our building supervisor, Chas, worked very hard to get our house completed, but having supply issues and subs who were not always on time or show up at all was a problem. We understand this is a problem of the time, but we were under a time crunch making us impatient. Our house was suppose to be finished by aJuly-September deadline, but was not available until November 30. We still have issues to be addressed,but again this is a very slow process. I doubt if I would build again-no matter what builder was available.

We have a list of things that need to be repaired/repainted/cleaned and we were told it would be 4-6 weeks to address. It’s been 2 months so far and only a handful of the issues have been taken care of.
