Del Webb Reviews in Minneapolis St. Paul, MN

The builder has no desire to build an energy efficient home even though they pretend they are. For example, they do not offer upgrades to energy star appliances. The engineering of the heating and cooling system is incorrect for the modern tight construction of the home. They install only inexpensive single stage systems which are not energy efficient in tight construction. In addition, they do not offer an upgraded filter system for customers with allergy issues. With the short runtimes of a single stage system, humidity levels will not be controlled contributing to mold and mildew issues. The heart of a new home is the HVAC system. The lack of an upgrade option for a more efficient two stage system with proper air quality management rates this builder an "F" grade. ... More

The Site Manager was the best.

Three weeks before our close date, the dishwasher was installed wrong, resulting in a flooded kitchen. Flooring and cabinets had to be reordered and installed, resulting in a 3-day delay on our closing. When we finally moved in, we found the new kitchen flooring to be damaged once again and, after talking to our construction manager, we learned the plumber had flooded the kitchen when reinstalling the pipes. We are now awaiting our third kitchen floor. Last night my husband came home and found wet carpet in the guest bedroom. After further investigation, he discovered that the AprilAire system had not been properly installed and leaked from the second floor through the walls and into the lower-level bedroom. For me, the thrill of building and owning a new home has been lost in these issues. I'm currently living with a dehumidifier running full time, a half-cement kitchen floor, and a flooded bedroom with no end in sight to the construction that will need to be done to repair the unsatisfactory work by subcontractors. ...

Numerous serious preclose problems-cracked trusses, large hole in roof, dishonest staff, no quality control, untrained trades including the use of children, etc. Upon closing we had a gas leak, no AC requiring a new compressor, our dishwasher flooded our kitchen wood floor, a utility flood, an island made of quartz 9 in too long, wavy siding, wood floorboards cut short, wavy concrete needing to be redone after close, too numerous and inexcusable to mention

I'm also a remodeling contractor & have built 4 homes. I own Kal's Contracting & Plumbing. The homes are over priced for the finishes you provide. Poor communication. No response to warranty items submitted on the owners website. The only thing I would recommend is the location of the neighborhood. This development needs more people working for it like the job supervisor Daryl.
