DiVosta Homes Reviews

Should have delayed closing but went foward eventhough many items were not completed. Post closing, problems with repairs. Either progress was very slow, other things were damaged when repairs were made or quality of materials was inadequate and not checked for quality. Many issues related to the doors and trim work. Paint work also very inconsistent. We expected better quality for the price paid. This is not our first home built.

Workmanship on the home was sloppy at best. The finished drywall and painting was terrible.

Great development. Craftsmanship & responsiveness are lacking. Once you close you are on your own to get issues resolved

We cannot give a great review. As a 3rd time Pulte homebuyer, we can say that the Field Manager's are trying to do their best. They work in an environment where the Sub Contractor is running the show. The Field Managers need improved Upper Management support. The DiVosta and Pulte upper management team should consider the following issues in order to change or create policies that would assist their field staff and ultimately improve the homebuyer's experience: 1. Bring back the 30 day warranty. 2. The Field Manager's cannot control the Sub Contractor's. The sub's are running the show. The sub's are beating up the homes. ie scratched kitchen sink, scratched kitchen cupboards, plugged sewer line. 3. Quality Control is lacking. Too many home finishes must be done over again prior to closing. ie trim, doors, painting, stucco fixes, 4. Pool should be finished and ready to be used at closing. We could not use the pool for 30 days after closing. Then the chemicals needed rebalancing, so the pool could not be used for another 7-10 days. 5. Upper Management should communicate with homeowner regarding property erosion issues that have been reported. Summary: Our walk thru before closing did not offer a clean, complete and ready to move in experience. A homeowner cannot possibly find all the issues in a 2 hour walk thru. Will my scratched kitchen sink and scratched kitchen cupboard be replaced under the 11 month warranty? We sincerely hope this review is helpful. We are not just complaining for the sake of complaining. Thank you. We would appreciate further discussion with a representative from Pulte. ... More

From start to finish I would say it maybe a 3 star. The craftsman ship is FAIR. They tend to do thing fast and not right the 1st time.

This is my third new home and probably my last (only because of age) and the most expensive. For the price it’s quality is not worth it. I guess we didn’t realize it until we moved in and saw the inexpensive materials and incomplete construction of the end result. At walk through, there were numerous things that were still not done and STILL are not done. Lucky for me I have a handy guy that did complete all the things that needed to be done. It really is a shame that for a home of these prices, you don’t receive a better quality product. And no, I wouldn’t rather not anyone see this review.

Sales experience was very good. Design Center experience was excellent. Most of the construction process went very well until the end, expertly managing the material and labor shortages of the time. In the end, we were forced to close before the house was move-in ready. Over a month later, it is still not move-in ready. You can see where they rushed to finish it, and the work is sloppy. There are many issues with the finish in certain areas that still need to be corrected, and the responsiveness on completing the work is lacking. It really takes the joy out of getting a new home.

This experience has taught us to buy a resale moving forward.

Our salesperson, Jessica C and construction manager, Dan R are delightful to work with and very responsive. Several of the sub contractors, however, do shoddy work. Drywall in particular is sub par. Tile is not perfectly even. We’ve had no issues with our hvac or electrical. Overall, we expected a much better finished product.

Experience in the beginning was great. At the end, things seemed to be rushed and sloppy. Seemed like there was no accountability. Made a check list of what needed to be done and are still waiting for things to be fixed

First construction manager basically bullied us into giving high score or threatened to postpone closing, then lack of response to address issues. For the price paid we should have had more bang for the buck on a brand new home. And production home or not we shouldn't have cracked tiles, scratched appliances, an air handler that's not bolted in, flickering lights, snapped roof truss etc need I say more.

We had several CMs over the term of the build. Disjointed process with trades performing work out of traditional order. Very poor communication with buyers. Overall love our home, but the process was at times very painful.

Be sure to closely inspect absolutely everything before closing and check that it is all completed before taking possession of your new home.

I would be hesitant to recommend Divosta

DiVosta has marketing materials that lead you to believe they have process of constant communication and feedback on the build of your home. Very little of this process was followed in our case. The quality of the subcontractors work in many cases are below expectations. We expected a much higher quality of work. Our construction manager did the best he could do under supply chain issues and labor shortages. He was responsive to our questions and concerns when we raised issues. Pulte management puts undue pressure on their teams to close projects without appropriate review of the status of the homes creating frustration on the part of home owners. Due to the premature close, the warranty department has a long list of issues to work through, and are overwhelmed. All of these issues lead to a dissatisfaction with the overall process. ... More

Our salesperson Jessica was very responsive and full of valuable information to help us make the right decision.

The quality of materials and workmanship could me better. Two times tickets have been submitted and nothing has been taken care of..

Just wish that I knew a year ago what I know about how this builder conducts its business. Word of advice to the next buyer, do your due diligence, take your time and have the house inspected well. It will save you a lot of headaches down the road. Don't sign/agree to anything before you have things fixed.

Everything looks better during the initial sales showings than it is. Lots of cheap things so you have to pay to have something more decent but even that is not good, basic things like hangers for towels are missing and responsiveness to fix things is bad not mentioning more than 6 months delays without any accountability for it.

Communication during the build process was lacking at best. It was extremely challenging to build while living out of state. Buyers who could visit the construction site daily or weekly could better troubleshoot problems as the buyer had to bring them to attentions of the construction manager. Major issues, including hurricane damaged roof (September) still not repaired as promised even though damage occurred 2 months prior to closing in November. Once they get your money, good luck getting issues resolved. ZERO stars for "Responsive to Issues". (The survey forced me to choose one as the minimum). ... More

What started out as a positive for me and my wife slowly went downhill. Months delayed for an air conditioner handler. It finally arrives hurricane hits and the front door on the house was not installed there fore water entered the home and caused water damage to certain walls which had to be removed from the floor to 4 feet up. The entrance of the home had to be completely gutted to the ceiling due to water damage. When we closed we noticed the lock on front door installed incorrectly and closing the door can be difficult. A used stove vent was installed that was greasy and rust spots on it. Stucco on lanai walls not taken to the ground and lanai ceiling peeling in three places. Molding under main bedroom missing and molding in second bathroom gouged out and filled in with caulking. Exposed wires hanging out of garage door motor. Lock on pocket sliders was broke and difficult to lock the door. ... More

I would say the whole experience was stressful. Our sales person was very nice and knowledgeable. Then you send us to a design center where we have 3 hours to make all of our selections. Pretty much everything on the model homes is an extra and if you makes changes after your original selections even if it’s way before construction the change orders are very expensive. Construction took a very long time. Our construction manager was very cooperative and responsive however it seems he didn’t really have much control of times. Of course we understand these were difficult times during Covid. At the end it was a rush and a lot of things to do for closing. Since moving in it seems like every day there is a new issue. Overall quality of work was good but far from great. And material is low quality! ... More

have a new man Jimmy Etheridge I am working with that seems to be resolving issues

We are now a month past closing and we have many tile, painting, cabinet issues that were supposed to be completed still undone with no schedule for completion.

Once the payment is made it is very difficult to get the small issues resolved.I highly recommend you have several people doing walk thru cause if you miss something that you can't see right of way you are told you can't do anything about it should of been see on walk thru.still waiting for issues to be resolved it is now 2 months since we moved in and still waiting. However one construction manager did go over and above even after his part was done (Todd Griffin) if you are lucky enough to have him. He always responded when we had issues when others did not This is Elaine's Review
