DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Wonderful floorplans and upgrade choices

We are satisfied with the quality and workmanship put in the home.

We are happy with our purchase

We were excited and eager to move into our new home at IslandWalk. However our disappointment started with a call from Pulte Mortgage indicating that that they needed a last minute form to close, with less than a week before our scheduled close. “We’re really busy right now,” was the explanation. Finally get keys to our dream home, and immediately notice the lack of attention to details: the final cleaning was terrible - dust and grout on tile floors, paint in carpet. Appliance handles were assembled without removing plastic - now we have scraps that we have to try to remove. CAT 6 outlets not labeled, garage door opener poorly wired. Tile floor is uneven - poorly done. Overall - meh. ... More

The construction of the home was completed as scheduled. There were, and still are some issues to be addressed. All items ordered were completed with the exception of epoxy coating on the garage floor. That oversite was rectified in time for our move in. The remaining open items are to be addressed by the warranty crew.

We have had no problems with responsiveness. We do have a list of things that need attention, when the lockdown ends.

JUST MOVED IN TO NEW VILLA ALL OK SO FAR.

Overall pleased with build. A few hiccups on the way, but most was corrected.

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.

Construction Managers do a great job to walk you through the construction phases & hold high standards for completion of work. Service after the sale... not very good.

Experience good so far

First, I love my new home with just a couple of reservations. I'm a foody and love to cook but it is impossible to use the broiler without setting off the fire alarm. Why? Because my home, the Cascadia model, doesn't have a kitchen exhaust fan. Even with opening all of the windows, it is impossible to cook a steak without setting off the fire alarm. Second, DiVosta claims to be an energy efficient builder. The amount of water I waste getting hot water to the kitchen and the master bedroom is obscene. The water heater is in the garage and the water "pipes" are not insulated and run through the concrete slab. I prefer to wash my hands with hot water which takes about 2 minutes to deliver to the kitchen. After you get the hot water, if you wait 10 or 15 seconds and want hot water again you need to start the whole process over again. Again, I love the home in general but feel these issues will probably have me selling my new home in the very near future. ... More

Craftmanship has been stellar, great quality and minimal warranty issues 3 months into ownership.

This is our first new home and everyone has been responsive to any problems we encountered.

Moving and building a new home are top of the list of the most stressful activities you can do. Buying a DiVosta home is an exciting stressless experience because the professionals you are dealing with totally understand construction and customer satisfaction. You won't regret that first trip to the DiVosta sales office and the day the construction manager hands you the keys knowing you made the right decision to purchase a DiVosta constructed home.

Totally satisfied with their care and professionalism. Always reachable and helpful even after the sell.

We love our new home. The entire process from beginning to completion went smoothly. Great location also. Sales, construction, after construction all very helpful. Would highly recommend.

The process from meeting Regina in Sales, then Joan in the design center to Joe our Project Manager, all were very professional and the build was like clockwork with everything on schedule.

Oven not installed properly. Other obvious Workman issues not addressed

Love our new home!

We have had several issues and mostly they are fixed...except the refrigerator. It has been out since we moved in on September 6th. We have had Flamingo out here 6 times. We finally got a new one on Friday and it is much louder than the first one. We have to sleep with out bedroom door shut. I have to work with my office door shut. We have to turn the tv up because we can’t here it over the noise.

This is the third home we have built with DiVosta and couldn't be happier!

We are very pleased with our decision to purchase at Island Walk West Villages.

Landscaping lacks color with too many juniper evergreens. We expanded our driveway after moving in which should be an option for new homebuyers

I love my house, but DiVosta clearly doesn’t want to fix anything that is wrong, and the finishing contractors were somewhat sloppy. For instance, I had no hot water for two days when I moved in, and only an emergency call brought the plumber, who said the hot water heater was never set up. He shook his head in amazement, and it took a third day for the hot water to kick in. I’m still waiting for the crown molding to be installed in the guest bedrooms—molding that I paid for but never got. How did this place ever pass inspection? You have to wonder.
