Del Webb Reviews

Our experience with Allen our salesman at Stone creek was excellent he is knowledgeable, personable and provided great service. Our construction manager was ok, we feel he should have been keeping a closer eye on what was going on in the home during the build, which would have avoided some of the problems. Workers from numerous trades are very careless, large gouges, dings and scapes were in the drywall throughout the house which needed repair and repainting. One electrical outlet was dry walled over, and one outlet in the kitchen was tiled over. The kitchen sink was not properly installed in the granite countertop and leaked into the cabinet below, mirror in the master bath was reset 3 times due to being placed in the wrong location and a bowed wall. One day after closing the Construction manager set up the door installer to fix a problem and the contractor was a no show, no call and no response from anyone. The driveway was poured about 2 1/2” - 3” below the level of the garage floor and they had to grind down the entire edge of the garage floor to reduce the difference where you drive in. When the construction manager was asked how that could happen, he shrugged his shoulders. After closing using the warranty team to resolve issues is extremely stressful. We contacted the warranty department by email and phone calls about the kitchen sink leak. A response is supposed to occur 24-48 hours after contacting them. After no response for one week from the warranty team, we went and spoke to our salesman and asked for help. After his intervention, we received a call back and follow up for the warranty team representative within one business day. The sink issue was resolved about 5 days later, however the process didn’t happen as the warranty team explained. The warranty representative also resolved the door issue. Overall we still love the house, we are still dealing with some small issues and navigating the Del web process. ... More

After closing we had issues with toilets flushing, gutter leaking like a water fall at entry way, kitchen cabinet door handles off, sliding glass door gadgets in all three panels messed up and scratched glass and tracks full of stucco and paint that we can’t get off, large scratches in nest kitchen sink, odor from under sink, grass dying, we just uncovers 20+ sprinkler head and trimmed around them so they would work, grass is dying and two different kinds of sod laid and different colors our quartz island has very sharp edges all around, entry way walls had to be re sanded and textured properly and waiting for someone to come back and paint, the slinging glass door looks used, the ceilings look waves, poor workmanship, and I can go on. So disappointed in all this and the responses we get are, you have to remember the work was done by humans and things can’t be perfect. We’ll the amount of money spent and knowing this is A Del Web community we are very disappointed in what was supposed to be our dream home! ... More

I recently purchased a home in Stone Creek, Del Webb. Excited to be in a new home, I was there the week before closing to do my pre-closing walk-through. We marked up many many things that needed to be addressed and the site supervisor, Jeff, told me that I was very particular, and that I should be reminded I am buying a production home and not a custom home. I reminded him that while it is not a custom home it is my home. I went back a week later for my closing, which I had closed online prior to my final walk-through, and nothing had been addressed. Nothing that was marked up and let me tell you the house look like it had the measles because it was so many red and blue taped areas . He gave me an excuse that there was something wrong with the painters, and that they couldn’t get back there. Aside from the painting that was sheet rock spackle all over the floors and I was told that it could easily come up when I wash the floor with hot water. The list continues to go on. There is still things that have not been addressed and while I am on vacation right now, I am meeting with the warranty manager when I get back. The quality of workmanship is subpar. Moldings have been cut short and then filled with caulking where they meet the tile and moldings around doorways are jagged, and not smooth And I could continue to go on, but I would prefer that somebody call me and discuss this with me. And by the way, I also had my sliding glass door come off the track and I had to call Jeff on a weekend and that was two weeks after I purchased the home and he told me it is not a warranty item and then I should call Handyman and pay somebody to fix it. From what I understand with my new neighbors, he apparently does not have a very good reputation with the new buyers. In fact, my neighbor threw him out of the house. I own a DellWebb home in Lakewood Ranch and I want to say there is a pretty big difference in the quality of that home and this home. Granted the home in Lakewood Ranch is over $1 million and this home is only close to $500,000 which by the way it’s not a cheap trailer home by any means. I would expect the quality of some of the things I have a $200,000 home but not in a $500,000 home. ... More

The value for our house is great! The house was very dirty when we closed.

Project manager was great. Finance & title were terrible. It felt like it was their first transaction ever.

I felt everything went very smoothly with all of Del Webb’s construction. My engineer was on top of things and very responsive if I had questions or concerns. There was a glitch with getting the electric meter, it caused a week delay and me having to move twice, but this was not a fault of Del Webb or my construction supervisor. In fact, he spent hours on the phone to get the meter installed. Chris was A+.

Quality builder and a fantastic master plan community.

Our Del Webb sales agent and building manager were very good. We were disappointed with the landscaping provided in the front of our home.

Would have liked more transparency with changing finishes when a vendor was changed and one of my choices switched out. Very difficult to pick all finishes in one session. Some outlets promised in master closet for example were not installed. Poor design with door into laundry room that does not have room to open all the way.

The home is very well built and the entire home buying experience has been great !

It took us 3 final inspections and a 2 month delay before we finally were able to settle. Inspect the home closely. Make sure trim is done properly and that you have square corners. Look at tile closely to ensure it is centered properly. And make sure they put hvac system in correct location. We had all of these issues. The builder did resolve the issues but our original build rep would frequently say no. The replacement was much better but still a 2 month delay in closing

Our house is beautiful and appears to be well built with quality materials. Our concern has been apparent carelessness on little things. Paint smears on nearly all exterior window frames, areas of tile with no grout, areas where paint was missed, and outside lower walls mud streaked. The response to these concerns has been mixed at best and issues described have not been addressed as of yet.

Closing was delayed because we didn’t have a certificate of occupancy. Our home builder and I had to follow up several times with the closing department to let them know the certificate of occupancy was finally granted. Our home builder went above and beyond to get us in the home and addressed all issues. This is our third Pulte home and we know they build a good product. Just very frustrated with the closing process.

Lisa B. and William A. were fantastic!

The house construction seems good. Value for the money not good. Lot has a bad view of a house in the back. Highway noise is very high. At $675K I believe we over paid for what we got. The Amazon warehouse in the neighborhood is an eye soar. Neighborhood looks more like a military. I just don’t think the neighborhood is ascetically attractive. The few people we have met seem very nice. We love the lap pool. We were very disappointed that due to the timing of our purchase we had no input (zero) of anything in the house. Lack of flexibility.

One officer within Del Webb was dismissive of my concerns. Aside from that one aberrant example, my wife and I were very pleased at everyone’s expertise and kindness. From the front desk personnel, to the salespersons, to the woman guiding us through the interior design process, to the construction foreman and his colleagues, they all have been supportive every step in the process. It’s our first home bought from the ground up, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

Sales encouraged me to select a hilltop lot with a great view - feels like living on a golf course! Workmanship, construction manager were superior. 30 day inspection items were quickly taken care of. Impressive!

We were very excited about moving into our new home. Yes, we knew there would be issues with a new build. However there have been SO many quality issues with our new home and repairs needed. At this time we truly question the overall quality & workmanship.

Very satisfied with the home overall, however, the final finishes are a little sloppy. I believe they send in a final crew to touch up, who slopped minor amounts of paint on light switches, windows, floors and counter tops. Also, tile grout is a little messy around some perimeter areas. They need to have a little more pride with these details.

Our home is beautiful and everything we hoped for. Overall experience was great!

Sales and construction manager (Roxanne and Eddie) were great to work with!

Homes are expensive here in Del Webb Nexton but a big part of what you're paying for is the location, community amenities, and style of living. It turns out our sales rep was quite honest about all the positive qualities she mentioned and she gave great advice about what home upgrade options were good value and which ones were perhaps overpriced. From what we've experienced in comparison to other homebuyers we've talked to, the biggest difference in how things turn out, be they good or bad, is the effectiveness of the construction manager. It turns out we had one of the best construction managers and therefore a good outcome, as did other homebuyers who had the same manager. Others who had not so effective construction managers or multiple construction managers during their construction process have had numerous issues to deal with during and after construction. ...

Repairs after move in can sometime be slow.

Beautiful location and the grounds are maintained. I wish the response time for issues were shortened!

We are evaluating our purchase through the lens of intent. We were looking for a 6 month oasis in a community that offers all the amenities for an active lifestyle. So the larger view is that we are thrilled with out purchase and looking forward to returning in October. One can find negative reviews, construction inadequacies etc, - but our experience with Peter and Edith to acknowledge, coordinate and follow up with remedial actions has been entirely positive. The repair timeline was well communicated and adhered to. The sub contractors that we have met have been professional, competent and very diligent in correcting any issues. This is a 2 month review - looking forward to reiterating the “positive” in future reviews. ... More
