Del Webb Reviews in Las Vegas, NV

The Granit Kitchen Counter Tops which I paid 5K extra for are a disaster Corners broken off, chips, gauges, scratches, etc.. More than 30 in all, on all counters. These where noted prior to closing and after closing. Was promised all will be taken care of prior to closing. STILL WAITING 4 WEEKS LATER. Found out yesterday that our sales person quit. Also that the "Customer service dept has no people and building supervisors are filling in. Had meetings with at least 8 repair people and the contractor . Ironically all the work men told us to replace it as the damage is to great. Different story from theirs boss. Was told we don't listen to the work men just the bosses. ( If you want to know how a war is going ask the troops, not the officers.) From my view the current game is WHO'S GOING TO EAT THE BILL TO REPLACE MY COUNTERS. Which by the way I had no choice in selecting. Beyond all that I think given the rate at which this developer is building homes the mess by the subs is a given. All though if appearance means anything, I would recommend based on my building homes myself that the builder create a cleanup crew to manage the mess at the building sites. also that the supervisors take greater care in there inspections and police the subs to do good work. ...

We have an extensive list of reported problems and not one response from Pulte. Very disappointing.

So far, has not been a pleasurable experience. Do many lingering issues. I hope pulte can get it together so I can change my review.

I am appalled at some of the glaring issues, shortcomings and bad planning - expected better!

BUG BUG BUG them or stuff doesn't get addressed! Our garage door sounds like it's going to pop off the wall...Pulte has nor addressed this issue. Sucks

The reason for two stars under quality is the lack of a quality control program, which caused several unresolved issues that still exist 30 days after moving in. The reason for one star in responsiveness is poor responses to inquiries and failure to act on unresolved issues.

Our Sales person and the Construction Foreman were outstanding - always there to help and very responsive. The Design Center was not helpful to us for making design decisions for the look we wanted in our home. And we felt their options we very over-priced. The actual Home, structure/framing, layout, and space in rooms, closets, etc, is Great. We love the design/layout of our home. The attention to detail from the sub-contractors (Cabinets in particular) was bad. For the location and price we were paying, I felt more of the extra options we purchased should have been included in the baseline home. Using Pulte's Escrow and Mortgage lenders was the Best - the process went very smoothly! Follow-up repairs has been disappointing - we have been here 1 month and we still have not received anyone to come and fix items (1 bathroom still has no hot water in the sink). ... More

Pulte builders pushed to get the "home completed satisfactorily" certificate signed promising to take care of outstanding deficiencies within 30 days. We are still waiting for fencing that's had been damaged in 3 places, metal sticking out of doors, electrical screw ups. We are now being ignored and our issues remain unfinished. I am very close to posting through social media what not to do when buying a home by Pulte construction. Very disappointed. The Del Webb community is great but your builders are terriblem

Very poor workmanship on finishing work. Grout color is different throughout the house. Tile in Owner's bath is crooked and cracked. A cabinet in the kitchen is crooked. Front door and garage door not fully painted. Baseboards look like they are used. As of today, we have received "lip service" that everything will be fixed. The trades are scheduled to come May 24 & 25 to address these major issues. Time will tell if our home will be "a quality build."

I really don’t think I would recommend anyone to buy a Pulte home.

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
