Del Webb Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

I’m disappointed. I’ve owned new homes before . Pulte is either building too fast to keep up, or they’re hiring lower class workers, or they’re going downhill. I’ve never had such sloppy, messy, incomplete, unfinished work before. We personally have had to repair so many builder “oops” because getting them out to fix seems to be a problem. There are also a lot of larger “oops” we are waiting for resolution.

It is extremely difficult to get any follow-up on items that are on backorder or that were promised to be fixed at thirty days after close. Seems to be a consistent problem with many new home owners.

well built and comfortable home

Its a great new home

The Buying and closing process was fantastic. The issue I have is we are 45 days in the house and we are still waiting for half of the closing walk repair list to be completed. We are now at the 30 day repair list and 10 days past submitting and no repairs have been scheduled. We don’t even have parts to use the full extent of our microwave. The AC still isn’t working correctly, it blows like a wind tunnel and you can’t talk or hear the TV over the noise.

Entered request for repair/replacement two issues have not heard anything. Getting ready to enter two more issues hopefully I’ll get a response. The house is great but I question the workmanship. Some work appears sloppy or just get the job done to head to the next house. Not what I expected from Pulte

The process was 99% positive. During final walk thru there were several things not completed and missed. Made a mistake after our construction manager asked to sign off even though not 100% then the next day got an email from him asking for a good review, we did. Then still waiting to get things fixed. Dishwasher was not hooked up at all. So I had to do it myself…. Door from garage to laundry room was missing a seal so bugs have easy access, had hire a exterminator…

The home buying process is rather easy. It is trying to get things fixed that were noted on the walkthru that have not been completed.

We notified our project manager Steve of issues with our kitchen cabinets during walkthrough, at move in and after move in. Still has not been repaired. Almost 90 days later we finally have an appointment for repair after far too many emails and phone calls. There was non communication through the process - finally got the Customer Service Manager to assist. Thanks Tatiania! Still had to wait another 3 weeks to get an escalated schedule. Week 7 our microwave started spewing smoke, a board had burnt up. We called Customer Service who redirected us to Whirlpool warranty. Their safety team told us to shut off the circuit breaker as it was unsafe to use. There are no repair parts. The Pulte project manager said he would contact their Whirlpool Representative to see if he could assist in providing options. Crickets! The owner of the appliance repair company indicated if/when we got a new board it could burn up too. No guarantees. After a month of waiting, the safety concerns and no answers in sight we purchased a replacement, Now we have to wait 2-4 weeks for Whirlpool to pick up the old one and provide a refund check. Have a minor floor board issue. Have to wait a month to get that addressed. It is frustrating to see all these same service people driving around in our neighborhood doing new installations and prior buyers have to wait so long. We were so excited to purchase and move in to this community. The lack of communication and delays in repair have been very disappointing. Fixes are to be expected...just be aware of what to expect....or not. ... More

Working with Ken in sales was really good, he kept us informed about the progress of our home up till it was finished. Our building Supervisor Kohl kept in touch with us on each step of the build and corrected any issues that we had along the way. Right now we're compiling a list of items that need to be corrected and will wait and see how that is handled.

Not enough qualified and experienced tradesman out there to get the quality as expected. Just take a look at your customer care center and look at how many follow ups for building flaws there are. It’s rediculous. Do it right the first time or don’t do it at all.

The buying experience was great. The builder is terrible. The contractor did not return calls. A lot of items were not completed. I sent an email to the warranty department with the list of items that were not completed and they sent an email that someone would contact me. That was over a month ago and still no contact.

Getting the home was great but Getting a home whit lots of problems was a disappointment. Roof tile, roof vents not there. A kid could have painted the house better. Missing window. Holes in AC vent pipes. And many more things.

We feel the sales person was very helpful and guided us to choose the right home for us. Once the build began it was downhill from there. We pointed out several mistakes in the build to our project manager and as time went by it was clear the mistakes were not being addressed. Now that we have taken procession of our home it has been a month and there are so many problems with the inside and outside paint, we have mismatched medicine cabinets, our cabinets turned out very badly and the carpet tack strips come through the carpet. There are also major scratches on the windows and slider doors. There are more but I will stop there. We have submitted our 30-day repair order and now we wait for scheduling for all the repairs that should have been done before we closed. We recently had visitors for the holidays and I was embarrassed to show this new home of ours to them with all of the blue tape pointing to all the flaws that need repair. This community is very nice but they need to keep a better eye on their tradesmen due to their quality being poor. ... More

This was about as easy as it gets to purchase a high quality home.

We have bought a few new homes in our life. The builder of this home is the best in quality and staff support. Excellent work throughout the experience.

From purchase to move in the entire process was smooth.

Good overall experience with the process of building and purchasing.

I would recommend using a third party agent that has your back to take care of some of the requirements in purchasing a new home

Wish there was more info provided about steps in the buying process. Also since models have higher end features, when making your final selections the design should inform buyers about affects of options chosen. For example, if you select the arch package your baseboards will not be standard (now curves). Found out near end of process videos were available ( and wasn’t told) to talk about steps in the homebuying purchase. More info about earnest deposit and how is applied to final purchase or not. More info also about extra paid for additional options chosen and how it is applied to final purchase or not. People were friendly. Would also say since my spouse had never purchased a new house before that more communication would have allayed fears and more info about process the total build process took over 14 months from start to finish. ...

Salesman Jerry, excellent. Came in on day off to accommodate our schedules. Construction Superintendent Blaze did great job of keeping home on schedule & keeping us informed.

Nice home. Wish closing wasn’t rushed for a better walkthrough experience.

Good construction manager and superintendent! Average and sloppy subcontractors. Good follow up and correction of building flaws and imperfections created by subcontractors.

All in all a good experience

Understand you contract before you buy.
