Del Webb Reviews in Jacksonville St. Augustine, FL

Dont expect much from Pulte. donot get upgrades, because they will not honor them in a timely manner, even if ordered 10 months out. It has nothing to do with supply delays. No communications unless you become a pitbull. It is extremely exhausting to deal with. I have had nothing but issues prior to close, during close and after close. A month after closing, still working on issues.

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

as soon as i closed the promised fixes that i was told will be done asap have not been even acknowledged. i have sent email and call and only response has been we are real busy. FOR EXAMPLE - I HAVE NO HOT WATER IN BATHTUB, ELECTRICAL CIRCUTS NOT WORKING! TREE DYING FOR LACK OF WATER FROM SPRINKLER

1. We purchased the option to upgrade to Kitchen Aid appliances in our gourmet kitchen. Issue our Kitchen Aid the DW and Cook top are in the warranty garage since Feb 15 according to our construction manager Jack Mead. 2. We bid and paid $110K for our lot. The pool company installed our back fence 5ft inside property line, left side one foot inside property line. Landscaping and sprinkler system installed prior to fence install

Run, don't walk. They will leave you with an unfinished house. They must be a company going down the tubes since they're ONLY interested in selling as many houses as quick as they can. They are NOT in any way the old Del Webb. They will ruin your retirement experience>

The quality of materials and workmanship are surprisingly poor given the price we paid ( $460,000) for our Del Webb house. They market brand names such as Kitchen Aid and Sherwin Williams paint, but the actual product from these vendors are their low grade lines. The paint is so poor and thinly applied it will rub off if you try to clean a mark off the wall. They use plastic fasciae and roof trim that rattles in the slightest wind. The interior doors are primarily made of cardboard and fit poorly in the casing. The so called premium cabinets are poorly made. We have had the cabinet vendor out seven times replacing poorly crafted doors and the doors are still damaged. The interior walls are wavy. Our neighbors experience many of our problems as well as others unique to them. The process to have Pulte correct items is frustrating and time consuming. I have had to submit repair request at least three times for a repair and am up to my sixth request for several items. Del Webb is a nice concept, but the homes built by Pulte are extremely poorly built. We will never purchase another home built by Pulte,, or their other affiliates. ... More

Awful. I had to be hospitalized and checked myself a day early based on Pulte’s pressuring me. I did a walk through and didn’t notice corrections to be made. Now they want to walk away.

Inexperienced, poor communication, minimal follow up on the Sub-contractor's performance (poorly trained) and then resigned from the company without notice to Matt O. or myself, leaving a major void in the building process and delay in its completion. His replacement Tim, was not familiar with our project's history, and only handled the final walk-through, which further delayed us getting to the "promised land". Overall, I would say the only people smiling at the end of this experience were in the brochures and/or web site photos. I understand that Pulte/Del Webb is an assembly builder, but it is obvious that there has been a drastic reduction their products quality and value. If this is a sign of the times, then I'm glad to be in my fourth quarter. ... More

This was the worst experience I have ever had building a home. Huge company building for Del Webb where everything is sub contracted out. No pride in workmanship. Things are slapped together and beat up. Constantly pointing out how bad things were. Look through a home that’s built vs. a model home. You definitely don’t get what you pay for.

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! ...
