Del Webb Reviews in Las Vegas, NV

The workmanship is similar to the old Fox and Jacob track homes. I wonder if worker take any pride in their craft.

The builder just rushes to finish the homes so they can get them closed and move on. As a result, quality is not what it should be. Once you close, it is up to you to stay after customer service to have the items on your punch list fixed/replaced. They don't seem to care about providing a good customer experience. They will use every excuse, Covid, supply chain, backorder, etc., to mask there inefficiencies

The fit & finish on these homes in Mesquite are undesirble. What you can't see seems to be okay, but what you see, paint inside & out, baseboards misaligned and rough edges, doors un-sanded on the bottoms, windows warped, cabinets look like they were put in by my 10 year old grandson. Grout missing in various places. Believe me, they will close on your house with all these things being sub par and pass all these problems off onto their customer service. Which I have to give kudos to for trying to rectify an unpleasent situation. It's been 2 months and I only have a 1/4 of the issues fixed. Their whole problem is they do not have any qaulity control, I bought a Pulte home in 2009 and it was a wonderful experience and had zero, I mean zero problems. All I hear now is the COVID, the COVID they cant get quality help. I say fire those sub's and companies, as soon as they loose multi million dollar contracts, you will see how well they can do the work. I love the community and the people around. Great place to retire and very relaxing. I figure it will take a few more months to get everthing rectified, after that I will be happy pappy. I gave it three stars only because I give the sales people five stars. ... More

Quality control seemed to be non-existent. Numerous issues discovered before closing, still not addresses. Still finding quality issues on a daily basis. This is mediocre track home quality at a price point that approaches a semi-custom home. 48 days past close, no resolution on 15k pro range installation issues. Two other repairs resulted in further damage. (Countertop damaged by tooling, floor grout stained after bogus attempt to “paint” island cabinet skins that don’t match. Countertop repaired, but grout stains remain and cabinets still don’t match) Seeing these stains drives me nuts multiple times per day. Overall, the quality of the finish in this house is substandard. ... More

The Dell Webb resort style living is why we moved to this community. Coming from a high end DR Horton home the experience has been quite different. The walk through was several hours and appliances were run off and known to be working, as opposed to this walk through - being told they work fine when the dishwasher wasn't hooked up and flooded our floor and cabinet when we ran it off the first time. The hood Vent wasn't working either which turned out to be a bad breaker. I understand these things happen. What I'm not happy with is the service team rather than saying " we are sorry Mr and Mrs Schultz we will get it handled" your people choose to take photos under the dishwasher to see if it was removed when we changed the floors out . I explained the tube to the aerator requires a clamp at the connection which your team denied it did though the appliance repair person said yes it needed one. He only had a zip tie with him so I provided the clamp. I am an easy going person the clamp is no big deal I was glad I had it, but don't blame us for items not completed after the walk through. I wish this was the end but your service professional asked to see the rest of the home and continued to take pictures and tell my wife you did new tile on the shower walls your plumbing isn't covered now, your put back splash on the kitchen walls maybe that's why the hood vent isn't working and now your pot filler isn't covered he then asked if we were going to change the thermos stats " because if your do then and heating/ cooling system isn't covered. I thought for a second we were just calling for two items to be fixed and didn't realize we were going to investigated by your service team. My wife and I run a building supply company with four locations a little customer service goes a long way FYI. I could go on about several more items but I believe my point has gotten across. Lastly I'm on the mailing list for several of your South Carolina communities as we want to spend our summers close the the beach and family but I'm not to sure about those now. There is one last item I would like include . We have a mountain bordering our back yard and during flash floods there is extreme water run off. Dell Webb / Pulte had there contractor install a 2 or 3 course block wall to divide our property from the common area. After completion of the wall the contractor left his scaffolding planks water bottles, Beer Bottles, Energy drink cans and the dirt from the footings which now halt drainage. We asked for this to be cleaned and the drainage to be reworked for water to run as intended, at the walk through which was never done now we are being told its common area and the HOA should clean up after the Block wall contractor. Seems like the contractor should clean up after they completed the wall. ... More

Construction manager was pushy to close, then no follow up on items found during walk through inspection. He made promise that items would be corrected, now he won’t return calls, text messages or emails. It’s been over a month since closing and still not moved in because of issues. We were pleased with house and buying process till after we closed.

Very poor workmanship, large chips in baseboards just painted over, missing trim on bathroom vanity, still have carpenters paper under stove, grout and paint splatter not cleaned up. Just no pride in their work and absolutely NO attention to detail by field managers and inspectors. Not what you would expect for a new home.

Overall the experience was about what one would expect from a large builder, everything was dialed in, Not a lot of flexibility but in the end the home is comfortable and the workmanship is good with a lot of quality checks along the way, a pretty standard home. Although the two loan originators were professional and helpful… the actual loan process, especially the underwriting was the absolute worst loan experience I’ve ever had, the underwriting department demanded that I violate a court ordered confidentiality agreement with regards to a large deposit (I refused). They basically added insult to injury. Absolutely would not recommend or use Pulte Mortgage again. We did a conventional loan with a large down payment, cash for closing and beyond in the bank, very little debt (auto loan) and income that exceeds the national median income many times over. It was an absolute joke. ... More

Sales agent was not helpful other than day when we purchased. Our realtors tried to get answers from sales agent, but wasn't getting prompt responses from sales agent. Sales agent got transferred to another location. Was difficult getting information to close as the Escrow agents also changes 4times.

Our home took almost twice as long to build as originally told, but that was fine as that seems pretty typical in the Las Vegas market, and we weren't in any hurry. The home is very well built, but right when we did our home designing (after contract was signed) we were told we could ONLY paint the inside FLAT WHITE due to supply issues (no other builders seem to have this restriction). Once our house was eventually complete, we had to wait about 2 months for the wall microwave/oven combo to arrive (more supply issues apparently). The worst part, though, was that we originally went with Pulte Mortgage (Del Webb in-house financing) and while we had a lot of hoops to jump through since we are both self employed, we seemed to check all the boxes to get approved. The main reason we went with Pulte Mortgage was because we were given a $6k credit at closing if we did. Well, it's late January and our house was almost done so we were told that we were closing by end of February and we needed BOTH our personal AND business 2022 tax returns done to get final approval for our loan. The IRS had not even finished publishing final guidelines for the tax year yet. So, VERY LONG story short, we ended up going with Del Webbs "backup lender" and they did NOT honor the $6k closing credit since we did not go with their preferred in-house lender. Very disappointed in how they handled that. They knew from the beginning that if we did not close by the end of 2021 that they were going to require our 2022 tax returns, but NO ONE EVER SAID A THING!! All that said, we love our home and it is very good quality, there were just too many pot holes and speed bumps along the way that, in the end, made it a very frustrating experience and ultimately showed that Del Webb is just looking out for themselves and their bottom line and not really caring about the customer. ...

Build manager promised many repairs to be completed in the first few weeks that never happened. The warranty ticket system seams to be better but we are still working through it.

This house was rushed and quality suffered. I can not recommend Pulte for a home that is not built that can’t be inspected prior to purchase.

I suggest renting in Sun City before you buy. For the transition and timing, we rented for six months before the sale closed. We learned a LOT in the rental about how things worked that we wish we had known when we were making the purchase decision. It all can be overwhelming, determining where to upgrade and where to wait, what kind of lot you'll really be OK with, etc. About two months into the rental we realized there were some things that we did not even know to do that would have made our new home experience significantly better. I'm focusing on what we learned. As for the rest of the experience, the low ratings have more to do with lack of communication, bad information at the beginning (marketing was great; reality was different), design center issues, financing issues (suggest you find your own mortgage company), title challenges, and on and on. If you are used to very high quality materials in your environment you may want to reconsider as you will probably need to upgrade everything after you build. If you are upgrading from a current home and excited to be in Mesquite and live a relaxed, golf cart centric lifestyle, then you are probably in the right place! ... More

The home took 6 months longer to build than we were initially told. We did not receive any communication initiated by a Pulte employee during the build. We had to initiate conversations with the sales force and point out construction issues along the way. We were never allowed to meet the construction manager during the build process. The interior paint job was terrible (the paint quality and the workmanship). We had to have the entire inside painted before we could move in. Now that it's done, we have to wait months to have warranty items fixed.

The salesperson kept us updated as to the progress of our home with bi-weekly pictures. We are pleased with the design of our home, but extremely disappointed with the workmanship of finishes such as baseboards, doors and paint. We closed on our home without the over/microwave combination due to supply issues. It would have been a nice gesture if Pulte had given us a counter microwave to use until they could install ours. We are in a construction zone while other homes are being built. It would be appreciated if the various construction crews cleaned up their areas before leaving to minimize the building debris ending up in our yards. The best thing about our experience is the area we live and the people we've met. ... More

I found the home buying experience was difficult but partially because the pandemic. I would purchase a home already built if I could do it again. I'm very happy with my home but its nice to see what your getting and Pulte does not let you customize anything which I found to be frustrating.

I would not recommend a Del Webb home if I were asked about it

THE QUAULITY OF THE CONSTUCTION AND FINISH OF THE HOUSE IS JUST OK. BUILT LIKE A RENTAL HOUSE. #1 THE GARAGE SHOULD BE INSTALLATED AS A STANDARD FEATURE. I TRIED TO GET PAUL TO HAVE THE GARAGE INSTALLATED AT A STAGE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEM, ONLY THE WIRING WAS DONE I WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. I ALSO TRIED TO GET GET THEM TO ADD SOME ELECTRICAL NO NEGATION. THE UPPER MANAGEMENT IS NOT WILLING TO WORK THE CUSTOMERS. I HAVE BEEN IN A CUSTOMER SERVICE TYPE BUSINESS FOR 45 YEARS AND IF YOU WANT REPEAT CUSTOMER YOU NEED TO TREAT THEM A LITTLE BETTER. AFTER TALKING TO OTHER BUYERS THEY SAID THE SAME THING YOU GUYS ARE VERY HARD TO WORK WITH. ... More

Follow up and warranty work has been non existent. They keep putting off the fixes for months. I have moved in with things like doors that don’t fit in the frame, and cabinets that are broken.

Local Sales office was responsive and trustworthy; however, they had no authority to address our issues. We were treated rudely by the construction lead during a field inspection. The specifications for the laundry cabinets were conflicting and led us to believe we were getting something we never received, and after traveling 80 miles to the design center we were given an insulting $300 gift card to make up for a $6k mistake. We were not informed that we would be closing without an oven until a few days before. There was never any follow up on this issue, only when we pressed the City of Mesquite did anyone contact us. We are still awaiting confirmation of an oven being delivered. The sales office and the workers are terrific. It is the management and the poor communications between design-sales-construction that is the core problem. The construction sites on our street look trashy and there is frequently debris flying around in the wind. We have had to take two nails out of our tires and replace a tire ($300) because of a gash caused by a piece of metal we ran over at night. We really do like the home but again the overall experience has been negative, very unlike the customer-focused and positive experience we had six years ago when we first built here in Sun City. Our more recent experience reminded us of the days of Pulte Homes in Michigan in the 1980s. Not good. ... More

rush to close but never complete move in issues never complete warranty issues. no touch up paint supplied. Contract not honored.

The communication to us from the Sales office and building Manager was very poor. The whole experience was terrible but the DelWebb North Ranch community is beautiful

Pulte is a for profit organization, which is fine, however, they do not have any interest in talking to the customer throughout the home building process. They cut corners where possible and charge the highest prices. Don't believe the sales person, they are going to tell you anything to get you to buy and then there will be an excuse for everything when they can't deliver. They will also retaliate so be careful what you say to anyone involved in the entire process.

After living in the new home for 2 months, I can now see the slipshod construction. Ramshackle quality. I thought I was moving into a more refined community. Instead what I find is the intolerable noise from all the ATV's that ride all over my block by Elderly Easy Riders. The NOISE comming off of Falcon Ridge is like nails on a chalk board. There needs to be a sound wall. The heavy traffic reverberates all though out the paper thin construction. The Poliars ATV that Illeagl for street use in Calif, is permitted in Mesquite. They scream at outrageous DBs to achieve 24 mph and are obnoxiuos beyond belif. Why the HOA and community would allow these inconsiderate relics from Yasgars Farm to have and drive these things destroys the senerity of the community. The marginal constuction of the house does nothing to insulate the people living in it from the offensive noise level. Terrible place to live. ... More

We had a terrible experience and would never recommend Pulte homes to anyone. We were excited about the Model homes and our Salesperson, Zac, but after we signed our contract everything deteriorated. Pulte sent numerous emails regarding your 10-step process but our original Super, Brogan, said (and I quote) "I don't pay attention to those emails" which meant we were never given the opportunity to walk our home prior to drywall; this was an enormous problem given Ron works for the government and needed to confirm some of the electrical wiring in the walls. We also contacted Brogan's Supervisor who was unwilling to do anything to help us with the drywall issue. Brogan was replaced with Dexter--Dexter was responsive in the very beginning but again, as the emails came to us from Pulte with the next steps Dexter was not responsive at all and NEVER returned any of our phone calls over a 2 month period of time. We resorted to reaching out to our Salesperson Zac who ALWAYS came through for us. Our walkthrough was a joke--we've never seen so much blue tape in our lives--and again Dexter was unresponsive to our phone calls, although he would respond to our texts now and again after 2 or 3 days (where's the customer service)? The design for the Low Threshold Walk-in Showers we spent $12,000+ per shower (x2) on was changed shortly after we purchased the home but no one bothered to tell us or give us an opportunity to select a different shower, so now we're stuck with two Showers that have a 1" drop from the Bathroom floor to Shower pan which is a problem for my 85 year old Mother to navigate. The tile surrounds in the two Showers could not have been installed by professional tile setters--my 8 year old cousin could have done a better job. Finally, we spent $15,000+ on Kitchen/Bathroom Cabinets which were AND STILL ARE a mess--a piece of the crown is a different color than the rest, there are chips everywhere, the rollout trays were only partially installed and slanted so you couldn't roll them out, and numerous other issues; needless to say, we closed February 8 and we are STILL WAITING FOR THE CABINET REPLACEMENTS!!! We have a 4-page "30 day Warranty Service" list that is almost complete thanks to Daryl in Customer Service. Thanks to our Salesperson Zac (again) he hooked us up with Daryl in Customer Service who has gone above and beyond to fix all of the issues in our home. He's been on top of the Trades and checks in often providing follow up and support. Now I ask you, after reading this Review would you buy a home from Pulte? ... More
