Del Webb Reviews in Ocala, FL

Hi. This is our third Pulte home and the quality of this home is less than our previous Pulte homes. Cheaper stainless sinks, substandard pitted granite, thermostat of lesser quality and features. No light over the kitchen sink. This is a 55+ community and the shower head is hard to reach for me and I am 6 feet. I have to get the shower head down for my wife who is 5'5". The lights are not centered over the island. They only needed to be moved 7" to make them correct. Not being able to increase the size of your patio screen enclosure which means I need to tear the whole thing down and rebuild completely new. We purchased 8' interior doors but we have a 6'8" interior door that you can see from the front door as you come in because the architects have no imagination and don't care how stupid it looks. Additionally, their solution doesn't even work because the A/C handling unit whines when the door is closed because there is not enough airflow going to the unit. The inability to even make the smallest changes that fix poor design ideas by the architects is not new with Pulte, but frustrating still. We liked the basic floorplan but we were hoping for better quality. Our sales person and field manager were excellent but they have no control over quality if it is OK with Pulte standards. Thanks. ... More

Was not able to attend pre-closing walk through but was able to be there for 3 days the week following closing. While there I found no power in half the kitchen receptacles{which has been fixed} and no power in both baths{which hasn't}. I spent 2 hours cleaning paint splatter off floor so grout could be sealed which had to be done after closing. This makes no sense whatsoever. There is a gouge in the drywall, front door weatherstripping problem, sprinkler head by front door problem, something was dropped on the kitchen sink leaving a mark and the concrete apron in front of the garage looks like a 10 year old did. Not even at the home yet so no telling what else needs attention but based on my first 3 days I'm sure it will be something. I will say if I had to do this all over I would have serious reservations. ... More

The initial drive into Stone Creek as well as the models and the staff all A+. The finished product comes in at a C for the following reasons. Attention to detail is lacking both inside and out. For example, on the interior we needed to sand and re-paint some window sills and caulk base board joints and crown molding shortly after moving in. Had issues with shutters because the windows are not even. On the exterior. By far the outside is our biggest disappointment for the following reasons. Ground is so uneven our new $600.00 lawn mower is taking a beating after just 2 uses. A very nice representative from Del Webb told us that they would have the lawn rolled in an effort to help with the unevenness. Because there are no trees, shrubs or foliage to somewhat block the the 8 homes in our direct view from our gathering room, dining room and lanai it is truly our biggest disappointment. The property is a nice size but it feels like a baron land when I open the shutters. ... More

Design center did very nice job adding about $30K in upgrades. No comfort height toilets a big miss, it’s a retirement community, costs almost nothing to add them. Space and storage in this house is bell designed.

The people we dealt with at Del Webb (Pulte Homes)were fantastic, from Darren the sales person, Nikki in the design studio, John our Field Manager, to the girls at Pulte Mortgage. I give each and everyone of them 5 stars. I love our home, but I believe they do not have enough workers to complete the homes within the time frame and do a quality job. Our sod has been our biggest complaint even before we moved in, but Pulte refuses to do anything about it. Many others in the neighborhood have the same complaint. We have some patches where the sod is nice and green, the rest looks yellow and half dead. It is our responsibility to pay for someone to treat the lawn and pay to water it in order to see if we can make it look decent in 12 to 18 months. Some people have spent 3 to 6 months fighting to get some areas replaced or have replaced it at their own expense. The driveway... Problems, but we had an outside source do epoxy, and they fixed the driveway problem for us. The paint job is sloppy, lots that should have been cleaned up, scraped off, cleaned off the carpet and floors, drizzles all over, and not quality work, because they have to hurry to move onto the next job. Bottom line, need to hire more workers to assure quality workmanship and still meet the deadline they are promising the buyers. On the surface, or home looks great, and we do love it. But I wouldn't call it "quality" work vs what we paid for the house. Suggestion would be to meet with some of the new owners and determine what they feel could be done to make their home better and help Del Webb in improving the homes. ... More

My wife and I have only been here 6 weeks and love it so far. We had some small issues, that any new home does, and Pulte has been quick to respond. The supervisor in charge during the construction, Jacob, was awesome. Although we bought a spec home, Jacob sent us pictures of the home under construction to the final product. There were some minor items that needed touch up that were seen during the walk through, but Jacob completed all repairs when promised. I was obvious that Jacob enjoys and takes pride in his job. We would highly recommend living in Stone Creek.

the home is beautiful, and is quality built. Just over priced

Follow up was very poor through out the process and the initial walk through was a waste of time because non of the issues were corrected. Our warranty person is trying but the sub-contractors are not easy to work with.

The tiles in our house came from different die-lots. They were placed poorly where a lot of tiles are up higher in some parts than others. The grout lines go from narrow to wide in same rows. Slivers of tiles were placed in the master bathroom. bathroom. Our lawn has been a disaster since day one. They laid the sod in different directions which should NEVER be done. The grass is so much higher in some spots than others. There are many, many holes where grass is missing. Someone could break their neck. The HOA rejected it from day one and they tried to cut tiny pieces to shove in but they all died and came out. It is a disaster. We told everyone that came out here that we will not accept this horrible lawn. The entire lawn should be ripped out, graded and good sod put down, all going in the same direction. Hard to get answers and this needs to be done ASAP !!! I could go on about the poor quality of other things but most have been reported. Some were taken care of and others we get different answers every time. We have at least 4 tiles that are defective and have needed to be changed since day one. ... More
