Del Webb Reviews in Jacksonville St. Augustine, FL

our house was delivered on time. We are now proud to be owners. Prior to this, we would like to cite the exeptional process that were taken to expedite the sale i.e from scratch to Deeds Of Title and of course kudos to all of the people who helped us all the way.

Love the neighborhood and the house!

Excellent customer experience and very responsive!

We lived out of state at the time that our home was being built. There was a lack of communication in general. Compared to other builders we have used the workmanship is poor. There is a consistent "that's industry standard" response to issues we identified both before and after closing that we know based on experience are not true or should be exceeded to produce a quality product. Post closing repairs of problems are not addressed in a timely manner and are yet to be completed. I would not recommend Pulte as a builder.

Be aware of base pricing increases when in the discussion phase prior to signing. Base price increases were almost weekly and sales dept was surprised and not able to hold. Even the posted brochure, w/ pricing, in the model became outdated. Know that the home pricing Excludes the land. Land- we had to blind bid for top 3 of 5 lots in a lottery. Totally insane even with current housing environment. Lastly, what builder does not include gutters in the base price? $3.500 upgrade.

Lies. Does not finish jobs on time. Often no show. Often does not respond to us leaving us up in the air. We were given multiple deadlines and ultimately paid a full month mortgage for an house that we could not move into. Pressured to close by Field Manager's boss. Promises made to us and not kept. No integrity.

Sales person was great. She kept us well informed throughout the process and addressed our questions promptly.

There is a list of 40 damaged or improperly finished items in our house. With our last house house build, there were not issues with EVERY single surface: poorly painted walls; stained carpet; scuffed baseboards; horribly finished drop-zone; filthy and stained pool; damaged drainpipes; marks in bathtubs; chipped tile; damaged cabinets; missing shelves; roof issues; garage floor unable to park on for 2 months; garage doors missing insulation; no refrigerator; dryer that doesn't heat; pocket door and slider damaged; windows that don't lock; damaged pavers; hole in screen door; exterior and front door needing paint; slab honeycombing; grading of yard needed; all interior doors roughly cut; electric problems; and a water heater that doesn't supply hot enough water which means tepid baths! ...

Very impressed with the models and the sales people. Very disappointed in the quality of workmanship and the response time in trying to get repairs done due to closing being rushed. Shortcuts were taken. Issues with painters, plumbers and electricians

Del Webb/Pulte made it pretty easy to buy a lot and home. After a down payment, no other funds were due until closing, unlike other more conventional construction loans. I did have to put some additional money down on the pool and finishes we chose. Communications was not good at first, but got better as construction moved along. Direct communication with my project manager was very helpful. The homes are expensive, but nice, as is the Del Webb community. After closing, there were a number of small issues that the QC team addressed quickly. Having the builder handle your pool (will require additional down payment) and fencing will make these items more expensive, as opposed to direct communication with contractors and having them built later. When planning your move, whatever the salesman tells you your anticipated closing date is, be prepared to add 2-3 months to that estimate, especially if the builder handles your pool for you. Also, as of 2021-2022 it could take 2-4 months for furniture to be delivered once ordered. Overall, good experience. Even though my journey started in March and ended in late December, I do not regret the choice made to purchase a home in Del Webb, E-Town, Jacksonville. ... More

I feel that the building process was too rushed towards the end so that we could move into our homes ASAP and consequently, workmanship suffered.

Overall good experience. Project manager Ben was very helpful and responsive to questions and issues.

The initial sales experience was positive. Be prepared to spend time and concentration up front on your design decisions. Be prepared for some delays and adjustments during construction given the current environment in home building and design, Have a plan for closing delays.

Other than the slow response to a few issues, we are very pleased.

Beware their are so many problems with builder Example Quality of work poor

The project manager has been great o wok with. He is responsive to our requests and is always timely

Our expectations were that, upon being given a closing date, the house would be complete and clean—move in ready. It was not, on the closing date they were still installing items, other items did not get done, such as slider replaced (it is scratched), paint touch ups were not completed, (i.e. bathroom). The house looks beautiful but upon closer inspection, you can see that there is problems i.e. hood vent is crooked, and has hole in the wall. We were also not happy with the walk-thru, when the gentlemen spent so much time telling us how to clean the counter. The time were have been better spent, explaining how to turn on/off the new appliances. Looks like a rush to complete so many homes, need to spend more time on each home and have some supervision of the many crews who work on each home. ... More

Despite your suggestion, I want to state that Jared Sampson was a terrific superintendent. He went beyond the call of duty to respond to my issues. I can’t say the same for the HOS group in the Canopy. “To save money, we only buy name tags quarterly.” Isn’t their key role to make homeowners feel welcome? “We haven’t ordered the stickers for golf carts yet.” What’s the wait? About went crazy…told me my mailbox was by the sales office. Nope, it was on Timber Light Trail. Their suggestion was to stand in line at the post office. When I left a note, the post person helped me figure out the issue. Oh well, it’s my time not theirs. Still haven’t figured out how to get monthly direct pay for my HOS fees after numerous emails. ... More

Get a realtor and independent contractor to advise and represent you. Do not close with a punch list.

Their project management is lousy - lots of promises but poor delivery; project manager originally assigned did not fulfill commitments, did not pay attention. The finish work is sloppy from the trades.

do not accept three stars as acceptable. The company can do a lot better by staying in front of their subs, meaning stop unacceptable workmanship in its tracks , fix the issues in mid stream, so not to have to come back and repair the screw ups of subs.

My experience with Diane and Matt was awesome!

Rush to close homes, when not ready. Promise of a 100% completed home, means they want you to agree to close with a list of things not completed yet. Once closed, forget about it!!!. You are not a priority anymore. I know times are difficult with manpower and supplies, but when you see newer homes ready for closing down the street with the hardware you are waiting for installed, You get the picture were you stand. Slow to respond, make you feel you are the problem, when all you want is what was promised and what you paid for, Buyer Beware of Pulte!!!

Process was fine being long distance Foreman was responsive to my concerns Just felt that the quality and workmanship was not up to the standard of home that Insold in Gainesville, Fl. Love the overall community though

sales experience was good, however response to quality control/warranty issues was not good.
