Del Webb Reviews in Jacksonville St. Augustine, FL

Great response time, love the neighborhood

Very poor construction quality. Crooked walls, crooked window frames. Inconsistent caulking.

Our construction manager, Spencer, was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was responsive and honest and very trustworthy in providing periodic updates. Once closed, our customer care representative, Andy, who is supposed to support any concerns post-closing through at least the first year, just disappeared. After repeated requests for a new person to take over what Andy had started regarding some issues we had with the new house we were infromed about there weeks later that Andy had quit. We were also informed that a new person would reach out to us. Sixteen days since that news was conveyed and we have yet to speak to anyone to assist in our post-purchase concerns. That is unacceptable but since this survey seemed to focus on the pre-closing aspect we wanted to make sure that all credit due was provided to Spencer and our sales representative, Lance, both of whom made this a very pleasurable and seamless endeavor. ...

I had been looking for a place to call home and the Del Webb Nocatee fits the bill. Ian was amazing and always will to assist with and out of state buyer and the extra work that might come with that sale. What I struggle is I’m now on my third home supervisor and the home was clearly not as quality controlled and it would have been if there was the same supervisor overseeing the construction. Ben is doing his best to get it up to Pulte’s standards and for that I thank him. Looking forward to transitioning into retired life once this home is put together and I can enjoy the life this move offers. ... More

Good value for the price.

The construction manager was very knowledgeable and help full. Some minor issues were taken care of.

We are so happy with our new Del Webb home. There are some minor issues that still need to be dealt with but the are very responsive. However, the highlight of our purchase was our sales representative, John. He was absolutely amazing and still is to this day.

andrew shepard us though the bying process rhen Nathan oversaw the building of our new home. they were both patient, professional and a joy to work with.

I think Pulte did a fair job and missed a lot of easy opportunities to build a great home and engender goodwill with this customer. My perspective is likely skewed as my last new home purchase and build was 30 years ago, and for a much larger home at less than half the cost of this home. I don't feel the contractors hired by Pulte were striving for excellence in any way, shape, or form. I don't feel the Pulte construction manager had much experience and talked a good story but at the end of the day was not straightforward with the customer. In fact, I think he outright lied to me. For the price point these homes are thrown together and cheap. I'm not even convinced that they meet code. Especially hurricane or wind code requirements. Time and the first hurricane will tell the story. On the warranty side things are a little better but most of the warranty issues, in my opinion, were created by sloppy and shoddy workmanship, and the construction manager not understanding what was needed or asked for. ...

The realtor who I worked w/was amazing! Very knowledgeable and responsive to all my questions. The contract supervisor was terrific too. He also was very responsive and sent weekly updates during the entire building proces. I felt like I was being “nickled and dimed” as everything was extra instead of being part of the package. For example, why weren’t kitchen island lights or outside gutters included in the price of the home like so many other builders do? Lastly, the workmanship was okay…not great!

As a second time Pulte home buyer, I had hoped quality and responsiveness to issues would be improved in seven years, but my experience was quite the contrary. The simplest concerns and/or requests were met with negativity. As the buyer of this $1 million plus home, I am now left with a plethora of disappointments. These include horrible interior paint “finishes” on ALL walls, baseboards, and doors, and sloppy construction overall. Even the Pulte HOA rules are absurd as I am required to obtain permission to add gutters to my new home, a 45 day wait for “approval.” I will be warning anyone who asks to think twice before committing to a Pulte home. ...

Purchasing my home with a great experience. My sales person Catherine was wonderful to deal with and helped me through every step of the way. My builder manager, Nathan was absolutely phenomenal and responded to every need I had.

Pulte finds the cheapest sub contractors which leads to a poorly built house. Materials used are of the lowest construction quality, i.e. garage door isn't insulated which doesn't keep the heat out. We previously built with KB Homes and their houses are less expensive and they used insulated doors. Walls are not "square". Once the process starts, no one stops to fix an issue, subs are just there to do the next job. Sod put down even though yard was not graded properly. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! Very disappointed with Pulte. They have definitely not improved over the years!

Poor quality in construction. Incredibly sloppy finishing work. Numerous warranty issues

The sales rep we worked with was awesome! He knew where we wanted to be and some of the ‘must’ items in the home and worked hard to get us there. The build/ construction process was a little frustrating as we had a few changes in the construction manager the 1st couple not being really responsive. The one we ended with was great but, unfortunately, we missed some opportunities to have corrections made in the build process. There are numerous spots where attention to detail was missed. For the cost, there should be better overall quality of work. The community is great and so far, the response to needs from HoA is good. ... More

Both have been very responsive to my questions, concerns and repair issues

My site manager, Tim, was superb. He was knowledgeable and would except nothing less than the best work from his subcontractors. Also, everyone from sales, to finance, to the mortgage people, and at every level within the Pulte organization was great and easy to work with

We like the neighborhood. The yard and landscaping is awful. Multiple sprinkler heads were broken causing massive washouts in backyard. Yard has large ruts where someone drove a grader? Left massive ruts and tore heads off. System was apparently shut down causing sod to become distressed. Needs attention. I have asked Brent to come walk the yard as it is unsafe to mow and or walk but he hasn’t made it by yet.

Two items were not done right, we noted them to Pulte 2 weeks before the closing and they were still not fixed at closing forcing all parties involved to figure out a resolution.

They changed project managers about a month before completion. Created a communication problem. 2nd PM didn’t know what the 1st PM had committed which was a problem.

Very good design and layout. Little disappointed very noisy of traffic from interstate.

Everything was great. Luis and Ben have been a tremendous help to me, whenever I had a question or needed any advice. Michelle, was a real help at closing, as well. Contractors that have been here for minor repairs all have been courteous, timely and experienced. Having only been here about a month, so far very happy.

Pulte and Del Webb deliver beautiful homes and communities. They offer a variety of floor plans that will meet your needs.

Working with the on site sales office was pleasant and smooth. But looking back, Ide say you need to know the correct questions to ask in advance, There may possibly be more value provided when working with a broker.

Workmanship and work quality is terrible.
