Del Webb Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Much of the experience is well thought out by the builder that allow the buyer to experience the full multitude of what is being offered.

I am waiting on issues to be fixed yhat shouldn't have to. This is the worst home buying experience I have EVER had. There are number of repairs needed. The home was never cleaned before keys were released. There is no quality control. Throw them together and hand off the keys. No one cares.

Quality of work is extremely poor in every aspect. Materials for exterior/ interior is of poor quality. Little to no communication with anyone from Pulte. Pulte gives you only 30 days from closing to file issues or problems on your home. It is stressful enough just moving in without having to worry about your 30 day notice from Pulte. Do you think Pulte will fix those issues or problems in 30 days?

They just keep selling although they are way, way, behind on fixing the "punch lists" of almost everyone who has built in the past year. Items ordered for replacement being diverted to complete new houses. Senior construction people leaving in droves as the stress of trying to offer some semblance of customer service deteriorates further and further. Class action suits being filed and more and more are joining every day. Hard to believe that this can end any way but badly. We're selling while prices are high and before the whole thing implodes. This isn't the company, look further. You'll never know how good your decision was, trust me. ... More

We’ve had experience with Pulte before and it was good. Pulte today is unresponsive to all the mistakes in the workmanship of these homes. At this point, I’m terribly disappointed in Pulte. It appears that nobody wants to take responsibility.

The overall quality is the best. As with any builder, there are finishing issues they respond to attentively.

This is my fourth Pulte home. The homes are being built too quickly and the attention to detail is lacking. I had my own inspection after closing that revealed several issues with the home. Specifically the attic and roof. Areas that cannot be seen by the home owner.

The purchase and closing on our house was very good, However now that we are in, we closed December 17 2021, we have had a roof leak that damaged the garage and laundry room that has still out been repaired. Can not get anyone to answer the phone or emails concerning this and we have become very frustrated. Not to mention the many other problems that the home inspector we hired found still have not been addressed, NOT ONE. At this point, I would have to not recommend purchasing from Del Webb. Del Webb was very quick to address any issue during the purchasing process, but once they had our money, we seem to have been forgotten. ... More

Sales person Mike was very good and helpful throughout the build. Project manager was great and finished home was very good.

Anthony the Pulte representative that we did the walk through with has been very helpful and is a excellent representative of Pulte homes

Be ready for a slow build

The build went pretty well and we had an excellent building supervisor. However, since closing we have had a difficult time getting Pulte to assume responsibility for things that need to be fixed

We love the house and really thought we were buying a quality home from a quality builder and why we spent over 100k on upgrades but what we didn’t realize was they couldn’t execute the standard features of the home, much less the upgrades, We should be able to run our dishwasher and turn on our disposal at the same time, but we can’t. Our 22k corner sliding door shouldn’t be full of scratches, the extra money spent on counter tops, all look like it was done by a someone inexperienced. They had trade issues, ok then delay and do it right. Don’t keep changing the close date but then to rush at the end and leave things not even completed or wrong for the homeowners to deal with it. We still love the house, just disappointing. ... More

When you buy a brand new home, you expect brand new everything. Prior to closing a worker had tracked grease on the new carpet. There have been 3 attempts to clean it to no avail. Rather than having a new carpet, I have one that has been cleaned multiple times along with the associated fraying of the fibers that comes with cleaning.

We had a great field construction manager. However the trade people are predominately Hispanic piece workers with very little quality control. We are in our new home but it may take some time to get all the defects repaired.

The quality of the material used in the kitchen, bathrooms, and the main room make the house very pleasant to look at and to use. The condition of the yard at the time of closing was much better than I expected in that it was raked and clean of all building materials.

Even many of the upgrades still are cheap materials. The workmanship is a zero out of 5 stars. The drywall and texture in every corner looks like a 6 year old did the work. The paint is so watered down that you need to repaint the inside of your house right away. The cabinets are cheap and half of them don't close properly. The brand new bathroom countertops came scratched and lare so cheap that I am afraid to put anything on the counter. The carpet was an upgrade and it is no better than the cheapest and thinnest carpet I have ever seen. When the carpet installer comes to install carpet in the new builds, they show up with a roll of carpet in the back of a non-marked pick-up, they put the brand new carpet in the street, new side down on the asphalt to cut the carpet to the proper size. They don't put any protection between the new carpet and the filthy street. We have a 19 page report that was sent to Pulte of repairs that need to be done. Not a word in 2 months from Pulte regarding fixing the repairs. The toilet and counter top in the spare bathroom belongs in a kindergarten classroom. The size of the toilet and the countertop is embarrassing that a builder would put that in a new home in a 55+ community. Standard height for every home that I have ever been inside of throughout the country is much taller than both the toilet and sink. The baseboards throughout the house look dirty all of the time. They have been the same since the first homes were built here. If you are building a home make sure that pay the money for the upgraded baseboards. The finish work on the home lacks any pride of workmanship. For example, uneven windows, damaged inside doors, terrible drywall and texture work, paint drops on nearly every piece of tile throughout the house, very sloppy grout work between the tiles and the walls throughout the house, the whole house fan air duct was never connected (how did that ever pass inspection?), broken tiles on the new roof, the list is long. The sub contractors need to be held responsible to clean up after they are done for the day and to respect the home that they are working in. Trash was thrown every single day in our island before it was covered by the countertop. Workers urinated in our spare bathroom bathtub. The construction site is filthy with trash and leftover materials thrown on the ground. Pulte can do better and should do better. ... More

Del Webb/Pulte sales staff has slick marketing and friendly folks to sell their product. As we waited over the next 6 months, we heard nothing other than from the money people wanting to make sure we paid. Our "celebration walk" (looks great in the video, smiling customers, clean home, etc.) was a DISASTER. The home was SO dirty - floors, cabinets, walls, ceilings and they were ALL damaged or so poorly finished we couldn't believe they would turn over a house in such a condition. Del Webb's/Pulte's response was "well, you get a year to let us know what needs fixed." We wanted a house we could move into and enjoy - not this! We spent the first two weeks on our knees just trying to clean paint off the tile floor through the WHOLE HOUSE - one tile at a time. We spent the first two months waiting for sub-contractors to show up to "fix" things that should have been fine in a brand new home. Now we're starting month-3 and over half of the contractors never showed up in the first two months. Apparently, our time doesn't mean anything to Del Webb/Pulte. We are SO frustrated. We moved to this community for the amenities, but haven't been able to use any because we sit home waiting for subs to come get our house move-in ready - as we live out of suticases waiting for repairs to EVERYTHING! Del Webb/Pulte doesn't give you any way to reach anyone other than one person - so if they aren't responsive, you're out of luck. ... More

Not responsive to any issues after closing and the home is built. Very disappointed that we can't get a response.

Experience with sales & design center was good. Project manager was non-existent. Very frustrating construction process from beginning to end. Still waiting for home to be done right 6 weeks after move in! No communication.

Your initial survey was requested within 24 hours and provided no time to observe all of the workmanship deficiencies therefore all of the necessary corrections are not yet identified.

1: Through out the construction, no responses from the construction manager when we asked for updates and concerns. 2: Rescheduled 2 times for Closing because of their lack of coordination, timiming of completion and scheduling. 3: Staying in the hotel for 21 days because of their scheduling mistake caused us to incur into unexpected expenses. Yet, no one seems to care. Just blame COVID.

Sales person very knowledge . When buying spec homes nothing can be changed. Very confusing with whom your dealing with a Pulte employee or a Del web employee.

Delays in materials, appliances, etc., post Covid created challenges for all, however, Pulte, did their best. We are loving our home & the Sun City Festival community. Thank you.

Pulte delivered exactly as the promised, included time to build!
