Del Webb Reviews

A little more attention to detail in construction would have been good. I sure in a lot of instances there was a language barrier which contributed to some of the things that have to be corrected.

- From the time of purchase to move-in day, I felt confident that I was going to live in a very good community in a very well done home. - The quality of the materials used in the construction of the house are top quality and the value is adjusted to our possibilities. - - Communication with the construction team was very fluid and friendly at all times, they corrected the details that were presented at the required time. - The quality of construction, the materials used, the technique applied is of very good quality, so I highly recommend this builder.

My construction was delayed and resulted in me having to stay in a rented residence more than 3 months @ $2350. Pulte has ignored my request for reimbursement. The house was not finished properly and my construction contact was not very helpful. He accused me of causing damage to a bathroom tile which is untrue. Refused to help . Very disappointed in the way the house was completed.

House completed well within the window that was promised.

Not a good value at these prices.

Even though this builder seems to have a good reputation, they sub-contract the work out to a workforce that have substandard quality of work. Many examples from poorly installed tile work, cracked tile, damaged appliances, missing lighting fixtures, mission bathroom fixtures, damage to drywall, etc. etc. The landscape company is unresponsive. They have the sprinklers turned on so much that the back and side yards are unusable due to the saturated ground. All defects left to be addressed after settlement under the warranty process. The warranty process is slow and broke. The builder seems to have way too few employees (only 2 I believe in Del Webb Bayview) that handle the warranty work for the new homeowners. There are just way too many workmanship quality defects in the building process for two people to effectively manage. As a result, homeowners do not get responsive attention to addressing the many flaws. The upfront sales representative was great. The construction manager during the construction process was great. It is getting the many defects address after selttlement that is not good. ... More

Though the home buying experience was good, the customer service with issues after was horrendous. I have had three major issues. I went to settlement on 11/22. On 11/17 during my walk through, it was pointed out to me that there was a hole in the tub of my guest bathroom. It was put on the fix list, but was not repaired by settlement. When Del Webb sent out someone to review the problem, they could not fix it and needed to subcontract it out. When I called the subcontractor the first available date was February 17. I will not be able to use the tub for three months. This has been very inconvenient for guests. Secondly, I have had difficulty with the plumbing. The plumbers have had to come out twice because the toilets would not flush and the shower would not drain. The pipes from the house to the street were put in incorrectly. They are finally coming on January 13 to fix this issue. The third complaint has been with my washing machine. It would not work the first time I used it. Instead of giving me a new machine I had to wait for it to be repaired. It was finally repaired on January 11. I have not been able to wash laundry for 8 weeks. When the washer was found to be defective it should have been replaced immediately. I have sent emails and telephoned customer services numerous times. Instead of replacing the machine the representative said I could use the model machine. I am handicapped and walk with a cane. I was unable to carry laundry to the model home to wash it there. You expect appliances you paid for to work and if not to be replaced. I now have a machine that was defective and how long will it last having been ‘repaired.’ Very disappointed in customer service on helping remedy problems with my new home. ... More

There is a severe lack of communication between the construction team and the team that schedules walk thru and closing appointments. Do NOT give up your current residence until you have the keys for your new home in your possession. Having a final walk thru scheduled when there is no flooring, no plumbing fixtures, no appliances, no toilets/showers as a start and your closing as I knew at that time was in 3 days! There were still more "rescheduled" closings after that as well.

Taking way too long on punch list items. We have had to keep asking/begging for when things will be completed. Each time we re-summarize the list, they only schedule a portion of the items. There should be a proactive system for timely completion without the homeowner having to feel like the bad guy and reminding them of what is left. Seems only time stuff gets done is when we bug them.

We were very pleased with the communications during the building process. Any issues were immediately taken care of by our project manager. After the closing, however, several small details that were supposed to be addressed were never completed. We were told several items were supposed to be corrected, but it never happened. Still waiting after almost 2 months! Most of the areas to be addressed were in the cleanup/finishing of the construction - painting, concrete splashes, sod rolling, etc. Have had to finally do most of that on my own.

Easy process from start to finish. I feel I got a quality build and I love my new home. Our Construction Manager Tom Johnson was responsive and thorough and I couldn’t have been happier.

My husband and I could not be happier. As we navigated the process from start to finish, Del Webb and Pulte were there to answer our questions, to solve problems and to provide support through the entire journey.

We had a great experience with the build of our Pulte home due to the people we dealt with throughout the entire process. Jeff, Joe and Jonathan couldn’t have communicated any better when we experienced the inevitable labor and materials issues that come up during a new build. They responded quickly and took care of the few deficiencies we encountered during the build process and helped us make a smooth transition to the post purchase customer care team. We started as hopeful buyers and ended up as happy customers and fans.

Still waiting for repairs found immediatly after closing

Andrew oversaw my build and was responsive to my questions and needs from start to finish. I love my new home, and much of that is due to him completing punchlist items completely before I moved in!

The process was well organized and communication was pretty good.

Low grade materials used and no one has the time to address outstanding issues or new issues in a timely manner. I would not purchase another

Our experience was very poor. The quality of the workmanship is very poor. Numerous items had to be done more than once and we still have a long list of items that needs to be done after closing. It has been the worst experience of our lives.

The process for building was efficient. Some of the materials and options could have been better. We enjoyed working with Anthony and Ashley (from Design Center). Both were very responsive.

We moved into our new Pulte home in a 55 plus community after moving to nashville from reading pennsylvania. The design and build process was the best we’ve experienced after having bought 5 new homes in our life! Completely transparent and beating the promised build schedule! Quality was all and more than meeting our expectations! Few issues were resolved quickly!

Sales team was very efficient Construction team was friendly but inflexible Finishing details are substandard HVAC is difficult to manage Appliances are cheap and not what we ordered

Although the sales person, Ian, was great the quality of the house was not! The sprinkler system hasn't worked since we moved in (we are in a villa, so it's the HOA's responsibility & though several emails have been sent, no plan or processes have been passed along to me & my neighbors). The backyard has construction debris buried under the sod but you can see it.. There wasn't any quality team other than myself, my wife and realtor as well as the hired home inspector, who found many problems.

I found that a lot of what I was told during the construction process was either blame someone else or deny there is a problem. We were told that our house should be finished in late July or early August. Based on this information we sold our home in Washington State and drove to Texas arriving on July 1, 2022. We expected to stay in hotels for a month but no longer than two months. At the end of August, we became very concerned because our house sat for 8 weeks with little or no activity. The reason given was they could not get brick. The last week in August I was tired of the excuses and hod the Construction Manager meet me at the house to solve the problem. I forced him to call the brick supplier to see why they had promised to deliver the brick for the last 16 weeks. The call was made on Thursday and the brick was delivered on Friday. The problem with the builder's system is the Construction Manager has no authority and to relies on their expeditor and weekly computer print outs. My other problem is the contact is always referred to when they don't perform but when they don't provide items like building requirements for VA financing, they ignore them and refuse to build per the specification in the contract. My suggestion is to make sure you are aware of how the builder, Pulte homes performs on construction and warranties. ... More

Joe Tosto, our field manager, was a professional during a difficult build process. Between supply chain issues, staffing of the trades, and delays on the property Joe kept things as positive as he could, he was the beacon of this process. Quality and workmanship is debatable as we have already have grout coming up in the master shower and have had electrical issues.

My home was not completed when I was forced to close. 45 days later there are numerous items still not completed...grout not done in tile, drywall patches everywhere, walls not square and damaged extruding drywall. My doors don't fit properly allowing air to come into the house. I can see the light from the outside. My back door threshold looks awful and I'm told that's the best it gets. My kitchen hood is bent and I'm told they will not replace it. I have 2 windows that need replacing and I don't know if they have been ordered. A cabinet door was installed backwards. I'm told it is ordered but, I haven't seen that on a work order. My cooktop is spattered with paint and it is scratched probably from the painters trying to remove the paint. The cabinet person said I need new shoe molding installed because they used large nails to place it and it was cut too short in areas. Baseboards and shoe molding wasn't cut the correct length leaving large areas that haven't been caulked or addressed. The paint and caulking detail is horrible. My shower has a tile that sticks up on the floor and has clumps of grout on the side. My trim throughout is nicked. The house was not given a post construction clean prior to move in. People came in and did a quick clean that didn't address the mess the subcontractors left. My windows are filthy. There's paint spots all over my floors. My construction manager has come in and just gives me lip service. He never writes anything down to submit for repair. He told me my floors are real wood which they aren't. He told me the bug people would call me. I had to call them, which is fine but, I waited for them to call me first. I'm missing light rail for my kitchen. He said he had some in his car but, never left it here for the people who are supposed to fix it. My screened porch is all scratched up. My garage had insulation all over the floor when I moved in. My light fixtures aren't level. My master bath countertop is not level. I have a nick in my kitchen island countertop. Nothing in the house is square. There is NO attention to detail. I have owned 8 other homes and this is definitely not industry standard. I can't with a clear conscience recommend this to my girlfriend who is looking to move here. ... More
