Del Webb Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

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

We had no appliances or air conditioner on our final walk thru before closing. We were asked to come back to meet our Field Supervisor the next day at 3:30 to go over the appliances with him. When we returned it appeared nothing was done. Our Field Supervisor didn’t show for over 2 hours. Then he said he didn’t say appliances would be there. The air conditioner wasn’t installed until after we signed for closing. It felt uncomfortable to say our home was complete when it wasn’t, but based on our contract, we had to sign. Everything turned out & we closed on time. Our house is nice!! We’ve only had some touch up paint done as warranty & he did a good job but made it clear that our expectations were too high & we should be doing much of it ourselves. We were charged $950 for grab bars in our showers, they are laying on our closet floor, still not installed. We feel grateful for our overall experience. Our Field Supervisor appeared overworked & set up for disappointing the customer. A person can only do so much. The homeowners after us we’re running into late closing & more frustration then we had so we felt fortunate overall! ... More

Pulte tries to build homes too fast. Our tile floor was installed uneven, the grout was not done correctly and we had hazing all over our floors. The bottom of our cabinets were left unfinished and the outdoor cement work had footprints all throughout it.

Some past warranty defects were reported. Response time in correcting some of these defects seemed unreasonable. Still awaiting repair of unfastened Garage Door Hinge.

Would not recommend to my friends and family.

We have a list of issues that I first officially reported on June 21, 2023, that have still not been addressed two weeks after my initial email. I called the sales office because no one was answering the Customer Service line, they said to just wait a few days. It appears to me once you give a satisfactory survey on the initial walk through that all support is gone. I have power breakers that trip constantly, and two full rooms are on one 15 amp breaker (seriously, even I know that will not work). After two weeks of trying to get help I finally got a hold of someone by phone who says it takes a week to get electrical help, I hope there is not a fire, I think this house was miss-wired. Even the power panel labels confirm that. Cabinets drawers don't close all the way, I have cabinet paint issues that you can only see from the dining room (too bad, Customer services says, you have catch paint issue during the walk through). The kitchen air vent looks like it was purchased from Goodwill, with obvious deep scratches. The trash can drawer is so hard to open, a 5 yr old couldn't open it. There's not even a toilet paper holder in guest bathroom and I reported that on June 6th. We are now a full month with toilet paper sitting on the floor. Where is the attention to detail, where is the respect for the customer? The outside air filter was never installed, they just threw it in with the other filters because it did not fit the filter holder, I know I tried. This outside dust left the inside air filters covered in dust and our A/C air ducts are covered in dust to the point you can see it with a flashlight. Customer service says filters are not their problem, I explained that the filter does not fit and was never installed. Still, they don't care, filters are not their problem, they don’t do filters. The floors were so dirty with dust, I had to mop the whole house twice just to not have dirty socks while walking around the house. We mop all the time because dirty outside air is blowing through our house. And finally, the air conditioner, the unit in the attic sounds like an airplane landing, you can hear it over the TV, it is so annoying. But noise is not an issue that can be fixed says customer service, only failure. So, are they saying that we have to live with noise? I could go on, but it all comes down to attention to detail and respect for the customer. This is the second new home that I have purchased and I'm massively disappointed in Pulte's product. I have already begun asking the neighbors what they think and I get the same answer from everyone, “Pulte does not pay attention to detail.” Maybe that’s just this area, but I’m not impressed, I can’t wait to sell this home and my landscaping is not in yet. ...

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.

Delays.. blaming COVID still. Always using the phase this is not a custom home.. great I get that but this is an expensive home that should have quality cabinetry.. Pulte choose the LOW end on the cabinets and it shows.. biggest complaint is with oak craft cabinets.. and the grout used in showers not matching.. where should you spend you money in the kitchen and bath!! Why cut cost there only to have to come back and fix it.. why not do it proper the first time.. I believe you should stop selling homes and fix the existing properties you have on the books. It would go along In customer care

Overall the quality of the new home is average, which is better than expected considering the shortages of materials and labor. But there was, and continues to be, no communication both during and after the build process. I would not go through the new home purchase process again.

We are still waiting for a list of things to still be done or finish being completed. We have been in our house 3 months and still can’t get all of these things completed. The tile and grout job was so sloppy and the paint job was even worse. There is paint all over my light fixtures, hardware and baseboards. I love my house, but I really wish the quality that we saw in the model homes is what we would have received.

It’s clear that management is not focused on client satisfaction. There were too many issues at closing that still have not been addressed. Trying to get someone to work on the issues has been frustratingly hard.

The closing "celebration" walk-through was a joke and a huge disappointment. I would have been embarrassed to present the home in the condition it was in and call it a final walk through. The home was in absolutely no condition to hand over to us as owners. It seemed that the construction crew was walking out the back door as we came in the front door.

After signing the contract and giving down payment to Del Webb there was very little communication from them. Now that we are closed and moved in it isn’t any better. We have been in the house for almost 6 weeks and haven’t been able to get anything done yet going through our warranty person for a leaking roof. We have some other warranty issues that have not been addressed yet either.

Our sales person was good to work with, knowledgeable and detailed. Construction of the home was slow, it took just over 1 year to complete. Our construction Superintendent was attentive during the build, however, Anthony has become non existent post build. The same can be said for his manager Ron. Text and emails are not answered, very unprofessional! At the suggestion of other residents of our community, we had our home professionally inspected within 30 days of moving in. To my slight surprise there are numerous defects including roof, hvac and windows/patio door. Build quality is definitely not what I consider workmanlike across the trades who built our home. In defense of Pulte, this is a sign of the times we all live in since Covid arrived. Not enough workers which results in unskilled labor working in a “ hurry up” get the job done situation. This is just my opinion of course. In our case the home has too many repair needs and should have been inspected pre-closing, and defective issues corrected. My hope is that Pulte’s warranty division is better than the build division. I do not consider myself a “whiner”, I just call em like I see em. ... More

The carftmenship on this home is terrible. the builder went as cheap as is could and stay in codei

Pulte mortgage procrastinated in locking in my rate for two months resulting in the interest rate jumping .625 percent, costing me over $400 a month.

Spent all morning for no show repairs or someone else’s fault? Multiple calls to schedule repairs then not a single issue resolved. Pics of repairs not even my house as I submitted. Sent wrong service people, no show on others. Stucco although scheduled won’t repair for a year.

We felt rushed thru walk thru, we are having to completely redo baseboards as they did not wipe down before painting!! We invested in nicer taller baseboards with pulte, they were completely trashed!! The glass doors going into office are completely scratched on both doors, glass completely scratched!! Overall the finishing work is very poor! We mentioned to CM and the person who come in only made them worst! The outdoor light doesn’t work! After you do walk thru, they ignore you!! We’ve made several calls to number given and they don’t return your calls! Before we bought here we heard horror stories l, we just thought they were problem people, we now know not true! Very unhappy!!! ... More

Way too many issues with the work that was done. I think the time it takes to get things fixed is apart of their overall plan. Put your life on hold waiting for things to get fixed hoping you will fix them yourself. There seems to be no priority to make things right. Their preferred pool provider is as bad a Pulte homes with excuses for everything. The pool was dug in October and we still just have hole in the ground with plumbing and electrical complete. This is our third Pulte home and has been the worst experience.

Buyers beware about customer service after closing, I am still waiting for my cracked in owner suit bathroom mirror that need it to be replaced since March 3,2021 till today, May 25 it has been one very frustrated dealing. Many calls with no returned call from them. No Show couple of times and yet no one seems to care about it, you have no recourse and no one helping you to solve it including my field manager ignore my called, the RESPONSIVENESS TO ISSUES is NONE EXISTENCE

Poor workmanship, bad communication, after closing they are non-existent. Would not recommend Pulte as a builder.

the work was done by non speaking English so they couldn't read all my change orders so I,can't give a good rating on work man's hip way too many major mistakes!!

Communication was bad. Lots of finger pointing and certain departments would not return calls Construction manager was thorough and responsive

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.

Lots of issues with the home found in the first month! Still waiting for repairs. Closed late. Overall, not happy!
