Del Webb Reviews

We are very happy with our new home. Quality workmanship and great floor plan . Our construction :manager has done an excellent job, following through after closing to address whatever issues might still need to be resolved. Our new home was worth the wait.

These times are unique but the true mark of reputable builder is one who is able to manage the entire building process despite them which far is from our experience. Shifting the blame to others for your end results is inexcusable and only poor management.

It started from the beginning of the process to the end. It was a great process. Everyone I encountered during the process was very courteous and professional! I really appreciated the thorough communications. I wasn't surprise about anything, They kept me in the loop. Anytime I had questions I received timely responses. Once again everyone I came in contact with did an awesome job! Thanks to them all!

Every appliance had a problem except for the microwave! Windows leak air and condensation.

Poor workmanship, cheap materials, paint on walls is micro thin, poor communication, many excuses for late finish, poor quality carpet and flooring. Overall very disappointed in the building experience. Woukd not recommend Del Webb.

We love the community. Our sales person was exceptional every step of the building process, along with the design center personnel and construction manager. Our warrenty representative has been responsive and attentive. The amenities are top notch!

Overall our experience was good. It's obvious however they are rushing through these homes to get them finished. Some of the finishwork was poor. Make sure you are very thorough on your walk through and find all the issues. Make a list, and keep after them to get them resolved.

The home buying experience seems very simple. Ken in sales very knowledgeable and explained answers to my questions very well. After buying my home, I had come across 3 major issues which doesn't make a person happy. I give Roby, my contact 5 stars in his responses to my issues and helping with contacting the proper people to resolve these issues.

Beautifully crafted home with well-appointed material and appliances. Multiple design choices and personal selections that make it your home. You are not alone from the start, The Sales Team, the Builder and the Loan Company are there to answer any of your concerns.

Experience could have been better if Pulte cared about fit and finish.

We felt rushed thru walk thru, we are having to completely redo baseboards as they did not wipe down before painting!! We invested in nicer taller baseboards with pulte, they were completely trashed!! The glass doors going into office are completely scratched on both doors, glass completely scratched!! Overall the finishing work is very poor! We mentioned to CM and the person who come in only made them worst! The outdoor light doesn’t work! After you do walk thru, they ignore you!! We’ve made several calls to number given and they don’t return your calls! Before we bought here we heard horror stories l, we just thought they were problem people, we now know not true! Very unhappy!!! ... More

We like our new home but the finishing work is really disappointing. Painting, caulking, baseboards all are sloppy. They should have waited 2 more weeks before setting the closing date. Our final walkthrough took 5 hours because there were so many small problems. And of course we didn't get them all. Getting things repaired is a hassle cause to fix something it takes 3 different contractors on different days repair person, drywall person and painter - even for the smallest issues. Inefficient. The staff is helpful but our person who schedules repairs is often pulled away to another site to work so they are understaffed. ... More

You need to ask questions as to what you would like in your new home. Make a list of the items you prefer and ask if those items are included. If not, can Dell Webb/Pulte add them as options to the home? Some things are too costly to add after the home is completed.

The building contractor made this experience workable

We love our house and the options we chose. Our contacts through the build process were very helpful. Luke and Bryan provided the information we needed pre and post closing. Any minor issues we have had since closing have been responded to quickly and to our satisfaction. Lisa in customer service is wonderful. Great experience start to finish.

First Dy in the hose th breaker box trips. I reset it and two seonds later it trips again/ Ridiclos! New hose and this happens. Took too long to receive a response from builder, I hired a building inspector because I cannot trust this builder. The inspector found several issues with construction of home. I have submitted report to builder. Let's see how long it takes for them to fix issues. Ii am not holding my breath. If I did I would be dead. Builder is more concerned over quantity of homes built in shortest time instead of quality and does not take pride in homes already constructed. in the quality of homes built ... More

In general, Pulte builds a good product. The finish work and warranty is horrible. I have purchased 2 properties from Pulte (primary (2020)& investment(2022). I am having issues with my one year warranty on my primary residence. February 2023 will be two years since I closed. I purchased a second investment home in November 2022. It was not finished at closing in November. I was assured things would be finished by mid December 2022. I left a 53 item punch list on December 1, 2022 and the repairs are not finished. (it’s Jan 11, 2023)

The overall process was fine. Our sales person was responsive and helpful with many ideas and suggestions. The design center help from Christine not so much. You must be your own advocate and press for action and information. We met with her in Feb 2022 still in the middle of a raging pandemic. She was not masked and seemed put out when she was asked to wear one. This is critical when meeting with older people in close proximity. If we were to do this again we would not meet her. The electrical designer Alan was top notch. Extremely helpful and had excellent input. Our first construction manager "Blue" was rude, condescending and poorly informed on modern construction principles. Many pieces of lumber used in framing were cracked and splintered. When asked about these issues we were told that these were cosmetic issues and he said "I don't need you telling me how to do my job." We immediately stopped the conversation and asked for a different manager. A new construction manager was assigned. Dexter did an excellent job taking over. He was helpful and knowledgeable. The overall product is a house. All new houses have issues that need to be addressed. The interior plastering has numerous globs and splatters. The baseboards were very poorly installed with corners poorly mitered. One sliding glass door is not installed square and is exceedingly difficult to open and close. There are other issues that are cosmetic and I am sure will be addressed through the warranty process. On the irrigation system the landscaper refused to properly install the backflow preventer. Testing of the assembly is required by the manufacturer, Uniform Plumbing Code and state laws. We were forced to pay for the required testing. This an essential piece of equipment that assures that the irrigation water does not backflow into the drinking water system. Overall we would buy again but be more proactive in checking the construction process to include bringing a level and square to the house. ... More

We literally stumbled into buying a home here. Initially we were considering building, but then we found 'quick move in' homes and toured several with Mark. He was wonderful to deal with, very helpful. and even got us a further discount on the already incredible discount on our home, which was 99% finished when we bought it. The entire buying process was pleasant and the communication was great throughout. We love our house and are thrilled to be here!

There were a few workmanship issues most of which were addressed in a timely fashion. Delays due to a non-responsive project manager were surprising, but the new person Nathan who replaced them is outstanding and was able to get us into the home on time. Only two pet peeves : standard toilets offered are the low ones which is surprising since this is a 55 and older community ! Similarly, gutters are not included, in an area where there can be substantial rainfall. Overall, we are satisfied. The salesperson Ian is awesome!

After being in the building industry ourselves for the last 30 years, the quality of materials and the workmanship are the worst ever. No insulation, walls not plumb, studs 24 inches apart whereas in most building codes they are 16 inches apart. Cement work was awful, no way did a Georgetown building inspector inspect the inside of this house before giving occupancy, thresholds not finished, drawers and doors on cabinets not screwed in properly, takes forever to get hot water. The list could go on and on. I would not recommend anyone buy a new home built by Pulte in this community.

Overall a very good experience.

Everything was good up to the final closing. The initial walk through had an unbelievable amount of issues. The second walk through was a joke. They didn’t finish most of the items on the list. Tape was still on areas that weren’t correct. Still waiting for items on the list. Promised a closing gift from the construction manager, never got it. Promised they would clean up inside and out, never happened. Left a bucket on the lanai, still sitting there. Broken shovel in the yard, still sitting there. You guys rush the last week, when everything was supposed to be perfect, and failed miserably. It’s seems that corporate rushes closing so they can get a bonus or something for the number of homes they close in a month. The home owner is the one that suffers. Why is it up to me to find all your mistakes and issues, the last week should be very meticulous on your part to finish the house properly. Nobody has reached out to me on the status of anything. Great experience up to the last week, and then everything falls apart. What a mess! I should the field managers rating from a 10 to a 0, due to all the failures at the end. Extremely disappointed in all the issues on the last week. What a disaster. I will be calling corporate, since nobody here has reached out to me. I’ve had six homes built prior to this, and you are by far the worst. ... More

Excellent guidance with each step along the way

The Pulte Team did fine work!
