Del Webb Reviews

There are still things to be fixed and taken care of

We were really looking forward to our DW home and experience, unfortunately we moved in during the pandemic. DW/ Pulte did everything they could, with safety a top priority, but our pre-closing was without a representative and a lot of pre-closing items had not been attended too. I have confidence they will , but it is discouraging when you don't have a lawn or any landscaping for months, the clubhouse is rumored to have a significantly delay, and communications to get real answers is not happening. Keeping our fingers crossed it will come together, but I think more lines of communication need to be opened, and everyone else in the new development feels the same way. Only negative or comment for improvement would be in regards to the interior painting. Very poor quality job from the contractor and the material used. Literally if I try to wipe a mark off the wall, it wipes right to the primer. Should use a better quality paint, and more oversight on what the painting crews are doing ... More

I had great difficulty getting a closing date for my new condo purchase. I had a home to sell and had to pass up a good offer because I didn't know when my closing date would be for my condo. I ended up accepting an offer that was a lot below the offer I had to pass on.

Generally very happy with our new home, but there are some quality issues that should have been caught by the construction team.

We have not moved into the house yet. After taking possession we experienced a few problems with the house but they have been rectified. The one issue I have is I feel there should be more communication with Del Webb regarding HOA issues . We are constantly scrambling to find out how to address issues i.e. landscaping to name just one . Living 500 miles away makes it difficult .

Hot water takes forever to come out of any of the faucets. And if you shut the water off and return a few later the process begins again. WHY

Somewhat disappointed in the quality of materials and workmanship for the money we paid for the home.

The home was built well but cleanup inside was sloppy. Paint spatter on floors, doors & walls not properly painted, grout left on tiles, scratches on glass & bathroom fixtures, missing tabs on cabinet doors and drawers. You really need to look closely at floors, walls and ceiling, checkout cabinetry & window surfaces.

Workmanship of builder was just okay, seemed like some work was done quickly not much time taken. Issues with flooring, time was not taken when painting, just seemed sloppy. Not sure if it was sub workers doing most of work.

I think that the models should show, in each room, the standard as well as the upgraded that are displayed. There should be a little more flexibility during the building process.

The sales staff, Bryan and Kevin did a wonderful job. Very professional and highly accommodating. Thank you

The field manager had some difficulty getting non-standard options completed. It seemed obvious he either did not read the details in the contract or he did not want to allow time for some special ADA equipment to be delivered, lest the project schedule be delayed by a week. This could have been avoided if we were given the opportunity to review the detailed plans. We would have seen these detailed items were not included. It got worked out thanks to the help of our sales associate who stepped in and got the right people involved to get things done. Other that this it was a good building experience. We would recommend Del Web to anyone. ... More

I have had several issues with my house. I have e-mailed four times.. The first time he responded he was out of town. The second time he asked when he could come out. I responded, anytime. Still waiting with four e-mails sent.

Overall, we’re happy with our new home. It was a struggle getting the builder to complete construction on time due to unresponsive subcontractors and ineffective management. Promises were made and not kept. Availability of our supervisor seemed to be an issue. There is a serious issue that I need help with and am getting the brush off from the builder. The city of Georgetown placed their concrete light pole 6” from the edge of our driveway prior to construction of our home. This presents a very real hazard especially since the pole is on the right (blind) side of our vehicle as we back out of the driveway. The builders response when I brought the matter to their attention was “. . . the city places the light pole and we have nothing to do with it.” I ask for a point of contact at the city and got no response. Seems to me that the builder knew the location of the light pole when they laid out the plans for our house and therefore had everything to do with the location of the pole and our driveway. I could use some help but don’t know who to talk to. I’m sure this is a code violation. ... More

You need to very detailed in communications and follow up on all request to be sure things are completed to your satisfaction.

Be in area when house being built. Hope that your contractor doesnt change mid-build..

Love the floor plan and openness of our Dunwoody Way. Biggest complaint we have is Pulte’s lack of flexibility. You can have anything you want as long as it is on the menu, but if it isn’t on the menu don’t ask and don’t ask for substitutions or any changes to their plan. Was forced to install their light fixtures despite not liking them. After closing we then had to remove theirs and install what we liked. What a waste!

We found the project manager and warranty follow up person very responsive. Community Director a bit less so. We are in our third round of getting punch list items taken care of by the contractors the warranty person has specified. Overall I am satisfied with my commitment to Del Webb.

The floor plans available are really nice. Even though most people choose the Magnolia or Tangerley, the exterior elevations and brick choices make the neighborhood varied. We had a decent experience during the build process where the majority of things were repaired when we or our inspector pointed out. but we are still waiting for a cabinet shelf to be repaired (promised it would be done two weeks after closing). They also built our garage door openings crooked and attempted to repair right before closing and they are still slightly crooked. The worst part of the build is the Sheetrock. Window openings vary by 1/2” from top to bottom and you can see the seams on most all ceilings. If you build HIRE YOUR OWN inspector. Do not trust they will find the problems before closing on their own. Our inspector found multiple issues with the HVAC and wood floor installation and they were repaired before closing. Their inspector did not find these problems. Warranty service after move in is very responsive. As with any new home the upgrades are expensive. The Pulte design center is really nice and the designers were extremely helpful. The home seems to be very efficient. It maintains the temperature without constantly running the HVAC system. There will be issues with any home build and overall we are pretty happy with our new home and the neighborhood. I would highly recommend this neighborhood and the homes. You just need to watch and point out problems during the process. ... More

Frame materials are 2nd or 3rd rate. Finish subs lack attention to details. Houses and surfaces not properly protected during construction. Home construction and finished detail selection process too fast. Community and club options great.

We were amazed at how fast the home went up and was completed.

Sales representative attentive, helpful, and not pushy. Impressed with some things in the build quality that they need to do a better job marketing, unimpressed with other things not aware of in the build. Need to make some adjustments for 55+ buyers ; like the filters for the furnace, not elderly friendly in a nine foot ceiling. Should older people be on a 9ft ladder changing the filter every month? No standard grab bars in showers and then not installed to meet Amer. Disability Act standards. Pulte Mortgage company a vey negative experience. Pulte needs to stay with building quality homes and not spread themselves so thin, with mortgage arm and insurance arm. Those experiences were very negative and sought mortgage elsewhere. ... More

Finish work lacks attention to detail. Caulking was messy and missing in places. We were missing a door knob. Kitchen drawer hardware was of very poor quality. Drawers very wobbly. We are trying to get these addressed.

not happy with quality of work . when ask a question answer should be truthful

If you wish to live in Nashville area in 55plus community, this is best place for you.
