DiVosta Homes Reviews

From Jane in the sales office to Dan at corporate, we were treated rudely and lied to about Pultes screw ups and we had to fight every step of the way to be just be made whole. We’ve been living here for a month and there’s a laundry list of things to still do

Horrible building experience and horrible builder. Not only did it take 22 months to build, but their workmanship and lack of attention to detail are horrific. I’ve already replaced the tile for kitchen backsplash as well as the tile in the master shower stall. They use substandard subcontractors for everything and it shows in the quality of their work. There is NO communication during the building process and you’ll be left regretting ever buying a home with Divosta/Pulte. It is BRUTAL.

The overall experience has been extremely horrible. This is also the same for many neighbors we have spoken to in our community. The houses are being closed without being finished and the construction managers are not really inspecting any of the work done on the home. In our personal experience we had a driveway done in the incorrect width and the construction managers did not even know what the correct width should be. In addition, we had walls that were not straight, floor tiles broken and stained (cement and paint). Also when we brought this up to the warranty manager we got a different answer than the construction manager. We ended up escalating our issues with the company VPs and they could not believe what was happening in our home, but still things continue to be done incorrectly. This is only a very short summary of some of the issues we encountered with Divosta. My recommendation to future buyers is to look at other companies to buy a new build home. ... More

The model homes really sell the house - when you see what you really get I wish I had not purchased here.

Don’t trust Linda sales office construction managers are useless. Spoken to five people all have similiar experiences. It’s up to the owners now to fix problems at our expense.

What happened with the amenities and facilities center. I was told they would be open for use by June of 2023. That's a lie. Not open and available for use as of Nov 19. Rule of thumb with Beachwalk owners, is that if lips are moving in the sales office, there are lies to be had. I could continue but why?

Sales person was great, structure of home was very good, but finishes from drywall on were done very poorly. Construction manager did not manage the end of the build and was unresponsive to our concerns and/or willing to make things right. Work of the subs was absolutely substandard.

NEVER BELIEVE WHAT A DIVOSTA/PULTE EMPLOYEE TELLS YOU!!!!!!!

This is our third New Build Pulte Home in 8 years - Our first house in Willowsford VA was a mess at closing - Our second house in Sonoma Isles took two extra months - but we felt that was acceptable b/c there seemed to be contractors working and it was during the tail end of Covid. This house in Bridgewater we were told that it would take 8 months to build. And that only the best contractors would be working on our home. It took almost 18 months to close on the house and it was still not 100% ready. There was a big delay in the permitting process to get our house started. Then the house sat for 3 Months and no one told us that there was a structural issue. Then no one would tell us when we could expect to close when we got a letter from Pulte on get ready to expect to close. For the amount of money that we paid for our house - Pulte fell way short of delivering on expectations- We paid a premium for our pool and it was not and is still not ready / fully functional since we closed. We have been in the house for five weeks and we still have no answers on our punch list and our heater in our pool is not functional. This is a horrible experience- we have purchased 4mil in homes with Pulte and because of us we have brought in close to another 10 million in referrals to Pulte only to be treated like we were buying a 400k house - This house should be a million dollars less based on our experience and the overall craftsmanship… ...

Multiple mistakes & poor craftmanship, e.g, door bolts not set properly, one closet opening 15 inches too narrow, bathtubs damaged, all door strike plates crooked, towel racks fell off wall first time used, home was dirty & never cleaned before move in date, appliances not working, outside stucco sprayed over all outside vents/wirinf/faucets....HELP !!! Not worth price we paid.

Divosta took 18 months to build our new villa. Interest rate doubled and our costs completely doubled. We were barely able to sell it and break even as soon as we took possession from Divosta. We planned to keep it BUT the huge delays and costs prevented us from keeping it. Their contract gives them 2 years to build so they weren’t concerned about the delays and our costs doubling. Will NEVER buy from them again.

If you’re entertaining buying an expensive home from Pulte in a $2 Million + neighborhood - save yourself the aggregation and do not! They are out of their league at a higher end price point. My 10-12 month build turned out taking 15 months with zero changes during the build.

Very poor communications no one would follow and as we went to supervisors further up the management chain for assistance the would not follow up with us. This is the worst company I have ever felt with and recommend to anyone seeking a new home to look at other builders.

The craftsmanship is not on par with price. House was delivered with many items on punch list to be fixed. It has been close to 45 days since closing and Divosta has yet to start fixing things

It ha been a nightmare. My backsplash has yet to be finished as well as the hole that was dug in the garage to fix a broken pipe and the floor in the master closet. I have got nothing but delays delays delays and promises and lies.

After 2 months in the new home the punch list has still not been taken care of. The a/c has failed once, the electrical went out in 3 rooms and the warranty department would not show up and an outside company needed to be called, the backyard floods and there are numerous defects.

Not only was the home delivered 7 months after the scheduled date, but the quality or workmanship is horrendous. The follow up from Divosta sun=b contractors is non existent. One day in October 5 different trades were scheduled to show up and make repairs to items listed in the pre-closing walkthrough. Not one of the five showed or called and now, two months later we are still waiting for the cabinet contractor, stucco contractor, countertop contractor and window contractor to make the necessary repairs. I have windows that don't open and no one seems to care how dangerous that can be. I have built multiple new homes and have never experienced this lack of workmanship or dependability. ... More

The construction process was the antithesis of the communicative engaging process shown in the promotional videos. I'm an architect and the DiVosta policies and techniques don't pass construction 101. Who builds a house, brings in doors, trim, and cupboards and then leaves the finished house in an environment that is not temperature or humidity controlled for June and July? Drywall, painting, and carpentry are terrible.

This company is competent. So many mistake and dangerous ones at that. I am sorry that I did not have an inspection prior to closing there are so many things wrong

They could care less once they get their money. We have animal feces in our attic (and maybe a dead animal?) and they do not respond. We moved in and simple things like water to the dishwasher and faucet were Not turned on. The dryer wasn't even hooked up.

What a nightmare! I’ve built several homes over the years and have always enjoyed the experience. Building always has issues but as long as the builder is honest with you it all works out. There were many instances where Divosta/Pulte was not honest with me. So disappointing. The problems were not due to supply chain issues, it was the dishonesty from several employees of Divosta/Pulte. They just don’t seem to care about the homebuyer. You’re just a number. They certainly don’t make your home purchase an exciting time, just super stressful and unpleasant. The finished product has potential - just still have many major corrections to be fixed - after the closing. Such great home models and design choices! What a mess they make out of the process. ...

We were delayed and other houses who signed after us were completed before our house. We could not get reply’s from our construction manager. I asked if he was ok or happened to pass away…..seriously. Construction of the house is very poor quality. Wall are not in square or level. Communication was bad. When we moved in it was not clean. There was garbage laying around, cigarette butt’s in the lanai. Worst experience I’ve had buying a house in my lifetime. Pulte should be ashamed with the product they are delivering.

Pulte was terrible from the builders to the mortgage company to the insurance company. They had numerous things not done when we closed. That are still not fixed !!!! I would never use Pulte again or recommend then to anyone these

Kept us in limbo during the entire buying/building process, increased the price substantially while they made us wait to go into contract, promised us a closing date but called 2 days before to say wasn't going to be!!! Treated Very unprofessionaly!

1. Ceiling not taped and bedded correctly 2. Walls not straight 3. Floors re "peaking" 4. Door molding 1/4 inch from floor filled with caulk 5. Painting had many drips 6. Molding not painted correctly
