DiVosta Homes Reviews

To start off sales team is terrible 2 of the sales people that I dealt with over the course of time I will not recommend, Chris and Dominic , they could careless Now Chris did me a favor by pushing Madison on us. She was professional, nice , accommodating, she went above and beyond for us , she was the reason we continued with talon preserve , she should have been given the full commission for the sale of our home , also be promoted and teach the rest of the sales people how to conduct themselves , I hope that she is recognized for the great job that she did

The workmanship is substandard. They use quality material but there execution is sub standard.

We love the location of our home. We are happy with the build now that it is complete. Was a slow process (15 months) it failed inspection twice… glad there is an inspection process!! As they were corrected… Still waiting for community amenities to be complete - over 2 years and still waiting for many in the community. Taking too long not enough people working on the pool, sport courts etc… area. They need to focus on it! Not selling more homes

There is a huge labor shortage.

Unfortunately we did not have the greatest experience building our new home. I understand there are uncontrollable issues that come up but our closing was delayed numerous times totaling over 3 months. We had 3 different construction managers including 1 that was fired during our build. We were not local for the build so our home I feel did not get the attention it deserved. Our neighbor would call and let us know no one had been working at our house for weeks at a time.

The paint job inside is pathetic. My father was a builder and I worked for him. He would be immensely disappointed. The slightest marring or touching, the leaves a mark. They need better painters and more concerned with detail. We paid additional monies for a handicap roll in shower, this is FLOODING. We've advised them of such. It must be re done asap. Of course, due to this C o v i d all entry to home has ceased. The concrete garage entry has cement cracking on lip. The impact windows are scratched. The baseboards by shower were left non painted. Should have used tile or painted baseboard. There's a HUGE piece of missing drywall where kitchen cupboards were installed. There are numerous cosmetic details and a few structural issues needing attention. Paint that was sprayed on floor tiles. ... More

When I drove here for inspection/walk thru I was met with costa people early and thru it into chaos. So I missed a lot of issues. Now I’m dealing with warranty and not thrilled. When I closed my sales man that was incredible and awesome was off so I met with another, very unfriendly person. Made a day that should have been filled with excitement very unhappy and disappointment. She made me feel like a low life…on my way here my vehicle was bombarded with rocks from a truck on 95, just before vero exit. I was stressed after a long drive n then that. The woman in the office treated me like I wasn’t worth dealing with. I hope no one else has to be treated that way. I’m trying to be positive now that I’m in my villa… ... More

We love the layout of our home and our project manager, Brandon was great to work with. We have experienced a few issues such as paint splatter on our hardwood floors and owners bath floor has paint, glue and dirt imbedded in the grout. A wall niche that was to be in the second bedroom was not installed and a resolution has still not been reached. Our refrigerator, dishwasher and stove have all needed repairs within the first month of moving in. Our communication with our sales representative and warranty specialist has been non existent as emails have not been responded to.

Quality and workmanship was generally good. Very displeased with close process. We were out of state and elected to do virtual close. Multiple issues were not addressed prior to close that were promised (one still outstanding 2 months later). Home was not clean when closed and required 2 follow ups visits by cleaning crew. We ultimately needed to go through on our own and touch up paint throughout (blemishes and handprints and chunks that should not have passed quality inspection). When we arrived for closed our salesperson didn’t even congratulate us, just handed over the keys. Not an experience I would wish on others. ... More

Divosta looks to create a positive experience, however, I highly recommend you stay on top of literally everything. You would be wise to double check every detail. Mistakes were made that ended up costing me both time and money. The overall home and neighborhood are lovely, but the process was extremely stressful because of the errors made.

We closed sooner than expected and certain things still needed attention which we were told would be fixed soon after-but now it’s slow and hard to get the attention needed. There are a number of issues that we need help with and the HOA representative does not respond with help- 1. We can’t get any mail until the post office puts a certain lock on the box and no one seems to know who is in charge of that- PLUS, the only reason I know that is that a neighbor told me- not the HOA rep! Our Nest doorbell doesn’t work properly and we’re not sure who to ask to work on that- it’s not the construction crew…. Please advise! ... More

Roof had leaks before moved in. Was told they were fixed but after moving in discovered they were not. Warranty crew seems more attentive than construction team. Like the house and community.

Closing took seven hours instead of 45 minutes - the delay had nothing to do with us! The garage door wouldn't open or close. It took seven days for them to come out to fix it. The employee said he wouldn't charge us this time but the next time we would have to pay! We only lived here a month before it broke. The HOA rep. for Castle group is not helpful or pleasant. After six weeks living here we still have things that need to be fixed - we're sure they will be but we have not been updated.

Average to slightly above average quality build. Some parts of home appear to be better than others particularly with finishes. Tile work wall finishes were below average while general construction appear to be above average.

Make sure you fully understand what the contract means. Get a home inspection before closing. Enjoy your new home

Overall good experience in spite of communication difficulties.

If you are out of state, your CM will determine your satisfaction. My 1st CM was unattentive & NEVER communicated. Sloppy sub work caused massive delays. When he was replaced, I assumed he was fired, but he was promoted! My 2nd CM was fired after 4-5 months after doing absolutely nothing. My 3rd CM did push construction to completion and actually communicated. However, after a month of occupancy I am finding small examples of sloppy paint or caulk work that surprise me. A 2 page email to management mid way through construction detailing my frustration got no response. Overall construction took 25 months from signing to closing. ... More

Lack of communication in some areas. Small things that could have been seen and addressed beforehand were not, that has cost me so many inconveniences as I am now living in the home. Follow ups are subpar.

DiVosta builds hundreds of homes at a time rather than one at a time. As a result no home gets the individualized attention to detail that would make it a great home. Examples include mediocre sheet rock workmanship, scant landscaping and greater thought could have gone into the placement of recessed lighting and HVAC vents. Post-closing corrections could have been significantly reduced by greater care during the construction process. So my conclusion is “good but not great.”

We purchased a home already planned and were unable to make changes. It was a crazy time in the market. Despite many requests from our salesperson we were never given the design center specifics. We were not kept up to date on the building process. Our construction manager changed mid-point and we were not made aware of that either. We are hopeful once we start our 30 day period issues will be addressed in a timely fashion. I would say most of our issues are minor, but time will tell. Our side yard is a swamp and the issue has not been resolved, the landscaping company has signed off that this is not an irrigation issue. We have a dead tree in the yard which has been reported and also no resolution. Timely communication from sales and construction would have helped. I assume they are overwhelmed. ... More

This purchase was a little difficult along the process but ultimately worth it. I do believe there were too many hands involved in the process, from builder to finance to closing, all part of the Pulte organization. The home itself is beautiful. It is not the high quality Devosta home I own in Naples Fl. It needs the fine tuning that I’m doing now with outside contractors. It will be primo when I’m done, but Devosta gave us a quality produce to work with. Thankyou for that.

Too many delays with closing.

Our construction manager Patrick and our salesperson Jessica were great to work with. Also, Gene with the customer care warranty department was awesome. That being said, there are many things that we feel could be improved on. The hand applied texture on the walls looks sloppy. The bathroom door in the water closet is too big for the size of the room. We are still waiting for Whirlpool to replace our refrigerator door as 4 people have already looked at it and now they have to order a door. It won't be in until early August. This issue was pointed out in early May. There are still seams visible in the ceilings throughout. We paid $40,000 for impact glass and there are scratches and marks between the glass. The screens in the pool cage have openings. We have had the plumber come out because our kitchen sink was gurgling when we ran water in the master bath. We were told it was because we use Charmin toilet paper. That's absurd! All of these items either have been or will be put on our punch list as we go along. ... More

As my review shows, the product and value are very good but unfortunately, you must keep an eye on the build to catch in particular, items you may have ordered that are different from other homes. The more you have fixed before closing the better as punch list is left to an inadequate support team with appointments months away. GC or assigned builder (Dustin) was fantastic but trustworthiness rating refers to those above his pay level that insist on cutting corners to meet time deadlines.

The home buying experience has been difficult. There are a number of issues with the quality of the workmanship. I have been working to resolve these issues with the warranty team. It is concerning to have to deal with electric and appliance problems in a new home in addition to cosmetic issues.
