Del Webb Reviews in Orlando, FL

Sean was very helpful showing us all the details of the house. He took care of all the little things that needed touch up quickly.

My issues where addressed promptly and resolved. Trevor was responsive to my questions and concerns.

Many promised dates and times were missed when it came to closing and fixing items found during the inspection. Not all items identified for repair were addressed before close and they still have not been fixed, there has been no follow-up by the builder. The day we closed the moved the construction manager to another new-build community and we appear to have been forgotten. I love the community,

Started out very shaky, but in the end I was somewhat happy although I end up spending $30k more than originally quoted due to time delays. Maybe it was the joy of seeing the end of the project.

I have a mixed review. First of all the Sales person was outstanding and they were very professional and met our every need. The Construction Manager was also very professional and was great with the entire building process and has continued to work with me to finish the list of things still to be done with the house. Where I have issues is with the final condition of the home at closing. It was not finished - Pulte had issues with their contractors not showing up or not having workers available to finish my home. We closed anyway and it was very disappointing. The quality of the home is great - it has been through 2 Hurricanes in the past 8 weeks and everything held up including the power! My feeling about the process is that Pulte sold as many homes as they wanted to and did not realize that the supply chain and their venders etc was not keeping up. This put a lot of pressure on the Construction Managers who were left to take the heat from the homeowners like myself who had homes that were not completely finished at the time of closing. Will Pulte realize that this reflects badly on their brand.? They have good homes but what buyers are left with at the end when their home is not entirely finished at the time of closing is what people remember. A suggestion would be to work as hard at the end of the construction process as they worked at the beginning of the buying process to sell their homes. To sum up my review - we are very happy with our new home - but have bad memories about the process at closing with the house not being finished. Does Pulte read these reviews? I hope so - because they could easily fix this if they paid attention to the entire process from beginning to end to make sure they finished with pride in their product. ... More

In general we are good with our home purchase. Several construction issues after closing have been solved in a relatively quickly manner. One important topic that drives our opinion's was the fact that one month after closing, the other homes in the community started to being discounted by the seller. This gave us an impression that the price was inflated before and the house does not have a strong value for the future.

When we selected our house, everything had been selected/upgraded by the builder, color of cabinets, flooring, appliances etc. The price of the upgrades were high for what we got. We are still waiting to have some issues resolved.

However, after moving in, one quickly realizes that Pulte does not give the same level of craftmanship to the buyers' homes. The foundation, structure, and layout of their homes is wonderful. But, they are lacking with the finishing touches. The paint is awful; you can see white through it in many areas. If you try to wipe off a mark, you instantly expose the sheetrock. Additionally, the paint job (along with the grout and caulk) is sloppy. There are drips, runs, and missed areas throughout the home. It's just regretful that more effort wasn't given to the aesthetics of the home. A second coat of paint, neatly applied, would go along way in making buyers happy. There are additional things incorrect in my home, such as: receptacles that are upside-down and not working, missing grout and a door sweep, and uneven pavers. Again, it's the small details that would have made moving in to a brand new home much more pleasant. Afterall, who wants to move into a brand new home and have to request a dozen items to be repaired. With all that being said, I love my community and home. I just wish I could have moved right in and started enjoying the amenities, rather than correcting errors. ... More

Qwinn was great field manager.

Our house was done in the time frame that was expected.

Detailing on the house could be better. For instance, painting only has one thin coat on the walls and doors. If you wipe the wall or doors to clean a mark the paint starts to come off. Stucco needs repair in patio wall corner. All reported but slow response.

The title company, amazing staff EXCELLENT The loan process NOT THE BEST EXPERIENCE Finished in the house ( we expect more from Pulte.

Terrible HOA total dictatorship can’t do anything in your private backyard without their blessing

Kyle was very good about getting back to us. He always sent us updates on Fridays. He is very hard working. He always was willing to go the extra mile for things To this date he stops by and asks how things are going.

The building manager was very responsive and helpful during the building process.

Once I closed on my home, repair requests go through the Warrenty program. I have taken time off work just to have vendors not show up or require multiple visits to finish a repair. There is poor communication and almost no follow up unless I escalate. Good luck with the Warrenty work. As for workmanship, the painters and cleaning crew are sloppy. I repeatedly asked for light switch and sockets covers to NOT be painted to the wall. They are.

Waiting to get issues addressed. I believe the placement of lights and fan mounts need to be reviewed. Noticed this after moving in.

The experience has been good but the responsiveness to needs and requests for support have been slow

Phases of purchasing and construction seem rushed.

Working with Alex was a great experience. She was very knowledgeable and kept me updated on all the progress. As far as the building experience, having just built another home 2 years ago I noticed a big difference. I am not happy with how the home was finished. It involves a lot of laziness on the part of the trades. I would recommend that there should be someone who goes through the house after the build. For example, cupboards that are damaged handles that are not straight, the wrong color grout, bad painting, outdoor stones that are damaged, sloppy finishing all the way around. My previous KHOV home was finished much better than this house. For the price I paid, I don't think I received the quality I was expecting from Pulte. ... More

People are all great and fairly responsive. The problem is we had to deal with 10-12 different people. Del Webb should have 1 or 2 point people that customers can deal with. Also, HOA restrictions not disclosed until AFTER closing. Should ask for rules ahead of closing. Some of the subcontractors did not do a good job, bowed walls poor painting, dented appliances, etc. The Quality Control team did not disclose any of there or fix them.

Buying process was okay. Alot of paperwork needed to be completed before closing.

My husband is a realtor with 24 years experience. I worked with him until I retired helping with walk throughs for out of town buyers, colour choices and general help with customer needs. He still runs a very successful rental business as well. This is our seventh new home so we are very familiar with new home sales. Overall we are pleased with our home. Price for upgrade were very expensive and not as good quantity as we thought. The standard and quality on paint is the worst we have every experienced. When you rub a little mark off you remove paint and orange peel! We have nail heads on the baseboards that haven’t been filled, lots of overspray on the floor tiles and I believe certainly there is only one coat of paint overall. Doors have been sprayed but both ends of the doors have had no extra paint put on. Jon who built the home was very nice also Jason is doing his best to complete our punch out list. Very disappointed with the quality control person who walked through our home after Jon handed it over. Lighting under the upper kitchen cabinets is disgusting! They are nothing like the model home on which we based our decision on to spend $1,300 on the upgrade. Also a particular overpriced ungraded was the outside wall lights either side of the garage door. We paid $400 for them! Certainly we would not spend that sort of money on upgrades if we had known the quality. The garden looked ok before we moved in but by closing lots of mulch was washed away, sprinkler head broken, weeds and what looks like a dead tree in strip of grass between the sidewalk and road. Alex our sales person was just okay. We would have liked access to our home whilst being built at weekends as my husband’s work schedule is very busy during the week. ... More

Still waiting for repairs found immediatly after closing

We all know now that buying new construction in the middle of a supply shortage is difficult and nerve racking. With that said we are happy with finally being in our home but not at all happy with the amount of time it’s taken Pulte to address issues of repairs and warranty requests. We’ve been dealing with non working appliances, incorrect windows and patio door screens just to name a few. 30 days into living in the home we found some work to be below standards and feel they were simply overlooked to get us to close on the home.
