Del Webb Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

I am very disappointed with my experience with Pulte. They do not stand behind their word and do not respond to your customer care complaints. There is no pride in the workmanship and no integrity for the customer.

I have a quality built home, and was well supported by all divisions of Pulte involved in the construction and financing.

Everything was fantastic during the purchasing and building process. The only issue we had was a lack of details when finishing the house. For instance, uneven cabinets, crooked handles, paint on hardware, floors and grout that we had to clean off after moving in. When one contractor did their job, sometimes they would damage something that was not originally damaged. Everything so far is being fixed though.

We had looked at a number of builders and found that the floor plan designs by Pulte just made more sense. They are very open and comfortable. Great for entertaining and living in. Just be prepared for the options, there are many and I wish we had given some of them more consideration.

Very easy - great experience with interior design too - Jenny was fantastic.

See comments in the title. I would not recommend Pulte to my worse enemy.

The whole experience was terrible and still is. All you do is ask for things to be fixed which should of been right from the beginning. You have to wait for everything to be done. Pulte doesn’t want to fix things that should of been done in the begging. For the amount of money you spend on these homes you should get a much better product.

My biggest complaint is that my home took 14 months to be built. I know the supply chain and manpower issues impacted the build, but I was told it would take 6-8 months. Then, the communication with the field managers was not what I had expected. Lastly, during our final walk though, we mentioned several items that needed to be fixed before closing. We were not able to move in for a few weeks after closing but when we did, we found that the items needing attention had not been touched. They still haven't been fixed. On the positive side, the sales staff and design studio staff were great. The sales staff was very responsive throughout the process. We lived over 1,000 miles from Arizona and the salesperson would take pictures for us when we needed to see some progress on our home. We also felt like we needed more time in the design studio. We felt rushed to make so many choices but with the design staff's help our home looks great. All in all, even with a few negative issues I am very happy with my new home, now that I am living in it. I do hope that a few small issues are taken care of in the near future. ... More

I’ll preface this by first saying we love our house, lot location and the community. As for home buying experience with Pulte, can’t say the same. Once purchase agreement was signed our salesperson Mike turned into a ghost. “Zero” communication from him and rarely returned calls or emails. Construction team not much better with lack of communication seeming to be a common thread within the Pulte organization. We were given a window of 3 months for home completion (Feb/March/April of 2022) and did not close until June 17th. Little to no communication from Louie (construction super) regarding the delays and salesperson Mike says “I’m just the sales guy” when we asked him for closing updates. So the 2 plus months that Pulte was late on delivering what was in writing in purchase agreement coupled with only getting 2 weeks notice on closing date, has cost me thousands of dollars in higher interest rate, short notice travel costs and lost time away from work. What did Pulte do about any of that……..NOTHING!!! Had they delivered on the house when they said they would (in writing), I could have locked an interest rate almost a full 2 % below where we ended up. Bottom line is Pulte Homes and Pulte Mortgage has done a magnificent job of creating a culture within their organization that lacks any sense of customer service or communication. ... More

Why doesn't Del Webb (Pulte) and other large company builders show their reviews on their sites like other businesses do? Think about it. These surveys are only helpful to perspective home buyers, not to people who have already built. It might make for a better building experience for both buyer and builder if the builder knew the good or poor results were being more predominantly shown on their own site. Again, think about it. And I must add that it is so ironic that the canned reply from Del Webb (Pulte) on problems are exactly what most people have already done with little to no success. Maybe would make more sense to post a review on Google which is what I will do. ... More

Beautiful home. But poor quality paint used, roof leak after first monsoon. Still to be repaired.

I feel the overall experience was underwhelming. Very dissappointed in materials and quality of work. It seems that Pulte is not interested in building a quality home. The amount if stucco is half the amount that was homes they built previously. Quality if cabinets are horrible and the paint they used is very cheap. They told us that everything found on the walk through would be fixed by the time they turned over the keys. They had only fixed a small percentage.

Honestly, it's too early for me to assess the quality because we haven't moved in yet. Ask me again in a year . . . The home finished on time, but about three weeks before the scheduled completion date I was told that I couldn't get a firm date for completion. That response was on a Tuesday, on Friday of the same week we received a call saying our walkthrough was set for one week later. When dealing with out-of-state buyers (as we were), that was problematic. The closing coordinator managed to rearrange the walkthrough and closing, but the inability to plan and buy plane tickets in advance was an issue. Our walkthrough was good with only one issue that wasn't resolved before closing day. The field manager took time to explain everything and was responsive to questions even after we took possession. Ken was our sales representative at Sun City Festival and he did a great job all the way through. He was very responsive and was avalable whenever a question came up. ... More

Good at responding to requests for information

My new home and my experience has been good, but I am one of the lucky ones. Other homeowners on my block and in my area are having nightmare types of issues due to the poor craftsmanship of the trades used to build these homes. Drywall issues. improper countertop installation. damaged cabinets. Poor tile installation. And mostly poor response from the manufacture.

We are satisfied new Pulte home owners

Not worth the effort, but would not recommend them to anyone. Horrible experience all around!

From start to finish, Jerry (sales) helped us with all of our questions and guided us through the process. He also sent us weekly pictures and updates since we were out of state. Although we had three different project managers, Roby helped us through all the final closing, inspections, and last minute repairs. Overall we had a great experience and closed within the time frame that was given to us

The attention to detail is top notch! Our home was built with the newest energy efficiency features and technology to ensure a continued year around comfort while being affordable to maintain. The design and available floorplans have been very well thought out and there is something for everyone's taste and lifestyle. Job well done, Del Webb!

The sales process was great, and we were kept in the loop during the build. The closing date came unexpectedly as I was told we would be closing much later in the month. The house was not ready for the walkthrough. Doors were still being hung and the house was not finished for our inspection. We're 6 weeks post-closing and 4 weeks after moving in. Customer Care is just now starting to address our issues.

the entire process was simple

Moved in house and the list of issues is long. The biggest issue is the house is a energy efficient home. We pay double on our APS compared to our neighbors that have a bigger house. By 500 Sq Feet. Find out NO flashing on back of house. AC not working correct. When you email Pulte no answer. going on 2 months living in house and AC runs at 80 degrees all the time and we still pay $450 a month on APS bill. Not happy with Pulte.

Overall.... we had a good experience and grateful to be here!

From start to finish, everything went smoothly and as planned. We love the finished home. Dave was the best field manager. He stayed in touch routinely and even visited us after move in.

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.
