Del Webb Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

We moved from out of state and we were promised by the site manager and sales team that all the issues that were reported would be taken care of and the house would be cleaned and move in ready when we arrived. That was far from true. We arrived three days prior to closing and were told by the site manager Josh that everything would be completed before closing. The house was filthy and needed many repairs. Including but not limited to: filthy tile floors, floor tile grout all over floor boards, damaged kitchen drawer, trim missing around dishwasher, cracked tub and shower unit, provided front yard landscaping poorly done and 7 dead plants when we arrived which were never replaced, and subsequently all plants died due improperly installed watering system. Kitchen light switches improperly installed hanging by one screw. Then you are promised they will show up to make repairs and never show up for scheduled appointment's, we are now hearing from many in the neighborhood that this is a very common occurrence and they just hope you will go away and stop requesting repairs, It appears if we want anything fixed we will have to do it ourselves. The neighborhood gossip have made it very clear this is a common practice, promises made and not kept. Even at your one year warranty we have been hearing nothing gets done, more promises and again not kept. So buyer beware! ... More

We thought we bought a new house from Del Webb/Pulte; not a fixer-upper! After moving in, we had nearly 60 issues requiring repair or replacement. It’s been nearly two months since receiving the keys to our house and there are still 30 issues remaining. Many of them are major issues. Poor oversight during construction along with poor workmanship are the root causes for having so many repair issues after closing. Extremely slow follow up caused by a very disorganized process for making post construction repairs is as frustrating as finding so many repair issues after closing.

We scheduled an electrician to come for warranty work. Did not call or reschedule. Also given 1 week to get across country for settlement

Workmanship is terrible, unprofessional workmanship, no follow-up on listed deficiencies as described and listed in (2) walkthrough's, in October and November 2022 with Construction Manager, Jose, moved into home, December 9, 2022, started calling Jose, no call backs for status updates on short comings on house as identified and listed. Called Warranty Department to get some follow-up, on defects. An appointment was setup for February 9, 2023, with Cabinet Company, Tim, of Royal Cabinets did an excellent job to adjust and complete our original requests for doors, drawers and sliders, all working well now as of 2/9/23, at 10:00 a.m., very clean and professional, was able to answer our questions in regard to our concerns with all of the cabinets as well as fixing all of the issues. We still have some issues with the house inside (interior) and outside (exterior), as listed during our (2) walk throughs with Construction Manager, Jose. ... More

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.

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.

The finish work on the home was absolutely awful. Wall texturing and paint work was beyond terrible, unpainted sections in closets and behind toilets, trim work looked like it was done by amateurs. We had home inspection after our move in and found multiple errors on the roof where missing tiles could let water get unit the home, the outside stucco wasn’t much better. They drywalled over vents that were supposed to be on the patio that could cause roof damage. Overall my wife and I were very disappointed for the amount of money this home cost us to have to be put through his is despicable.

Pushed back my closing 3 times without any communication, which equated to an extra 6 months before I could move. This ended up costing me several thousand extra dollars because I had to pay for storage and 2 moves instead of one. Also purchased the Kitchenaid upgrade package, but they changed my cooktop to a Frigidaire without communicating anything to me. I found out about it after I signed my papers and gave them my money when I did the final walkthrough to get my keys. When I addressed the matter with Pulte, they told me to go buy it and install it myself. So I did not get the upgrade that I paid alot of money for. I am very upset about this and Pulte should either refund my money for this upgrade, since they didn't do it, or they need to install the proper cooktop. ... More

This was the most frustrating experience ever! Very poor communication during the build. Many flaws in quality. Independent inspection revealed many significant issues that have yet to be repaired by you. The build ran 3 months past the window of time. Will it really do me any good to complain and provide this review?

The builder constantly lies to you. They have no intention of honoring any promises made to you. The build quality is absolute rubbish and service and communications are even more rubbish to even non-existent. Do not walk away from Pulte and Del Webb…run away. The entire experience has been terrible and some I suspect even criminal. Never again.

The project took months longer than expected. The materials and workmanship were also below expectations. And it has been difficult to get the builder to handle the deficiencies. This is our third home in this project. And our fourth Del Webb home. So we have previous builds for comparison. And this one was quite unacceptable from our perspective.

If you like moving into a home that got more paint on floor than walls and paint runs all over walls,big lumps of drywall compound on walls and ceiling’s . The edges not finished and cabinet doors that are hard to open and a cook top that you can drop dimes down to the next door underneath than pulte is your builder, had to wait two weeks to watch a TV because we had a electrical problem,and you people made us wait two weeks because we’re such valued customers and the rest of the repairs we have two wait 6 weeks,I’m not impressed one bit by you people

Had a independent home inspector inspect the home at my own expense. He that found significant issues that showed that builder had no internal controls or inspections done before releasing the home. After 30 days since turning the report in to the builder customer care, still have not even had a response.

This entire experience has been a disaster. Appaling workmanship using non English speaking workers who have zero respect for your property. I located 12 beer cans hidden under insulation. Zero communication and once they get your money you no longer exist. We have numerous unresolved issues including a leak in our roof. We acted in good faith all the way along and we were treated terrible with the exception of Steve our site supervisor.

When we first bought out lot and started building We were very excited. . Del Webb had a great building reputation. Boy had things changed. The workmen ship was terrible. No pride at all in anything that was done. They put towel racks up that didn’t match, shower handle that was much smaller than the other one next to it, cracked tiles on the roof, air conditioner wasn’t hooked up right, windows scratched, No screens for the sliding glass doors.There was more grout on the tile than in between the tile. Cheap paint on walls. U can go on and on. Two months later we are finally starting to get things fixed. They call it warranty work which I call work that wasn’t done correctly the first time. Warning, get your own inspection after u close. You’ll be very surprised what they find that Pulte passes. We moved here because of all the amenities and things are so crowded already u can’t do anything. My suggestion, don’t buy here. They promise stuff and don’t tell you the truth and don’t deliver. ...

ANDREW was negligent in his oversight duties. Did not follow contract! Argued positions even after I showed him the specific items he omitted from contract!. We closed on January 10, 2022 and the house is not complete and I have not received return calls to me trying to call Pulte representatives!

Unresponsive to customer concerns. Failure to communicate delays to completion. Failure to deliver completed house and follow up to get missing items done

This is the most disappointing experience of my life. I will never buy another Pulte home and will advise all my friends not to buy Pulte homes.

Would NOT recommend Pulte Homes to any of our family or friends and would have never taken possession of the home if we didn't stand to lose a lot of money that was already put down on the build. We understand that with COVID-19 and material issues occuring worldwide things got out of hand. Pulte should have slowed down the building process and made sure the product they were turning out was quality instead they pushed for quantity. I think we would and buyers would be happy to see one quality built home then ten crappy,dirty unfished homes being turned out. All that being said, Pulte is in the market to make money and sell homes at any cost. We are a greedy, money based world. ... More

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

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

It wasn’t a good experience! With the title company!
