Del Webb Reviews in Las Vegas, NV

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. ...

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.

Home buyer should make it a priority to hire outside home inspection to walk throughout the house to denote defects and build lapses where speed takes precedence over quality

You do not get what you pick out and Puklte doesn’t care. First we were told 3 times by sales we could have a wide recessed fireplace like other models but later, they just randomly started to build a box one. then we chose dark brown bath tiles but got orange ones and the trim tiles don’t even match. We were told nothing they could do about it. Oven has broken 3 times in a month, sink drains are used and were not even chrome like other sink parts. Floor tiles in shower were three different kinds and colors which they finally fixed. Crazy stuff we have never seen with any other builders we have used. ... More

During sale and construction, we couldn’t get sales consultant or escrow office to give us final amounts owed. Needed escalation to get resolved. Thermostat and Ring doorbells had defects and needed to be replaced. Warranty Center told us they were not covered. Irrigation valve failed and WC advised it was also not covered. All less than 60 days from close of escrow. Seem to be spring loaded to respond that issue is not covered.

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

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 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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

My experience with the salesperson was great. Knowledgeable and professional My experience with Title Company was good until I asked about a special assessment. She was rude and impatient when trying to figure this out. My experience with the construction manager was good until the home was completed. He helped with a couple of things and disappeared without saying a word. Shame on him. My experience with the Care Manager so far has been responsive. Whirlpool appliances very poor quality. The gas oven was delivered broken. As of today, Whirlpool has not figured out why it has not worked.

We have lived in our house for a little over a month and we still have many issues. The workmanship is sloppy and has no quality. The construction managers lie right to your face. They tell you they will fix an issue and do nothing but lie. I would never buy a Pulte home again.

It's extremely disappointing when trades (contractors) don't care about quality. Slap it up, poor results and deal with it after the fact. Large disconnect with the sales department, design center and construction.... No one takes responsibility, they all pass the buck. It doesn't matter if its a 5 million dollar home or a million dollar home, its all very poor!

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

Working through the building and buying process was the worst I’ve experienced. Inflexible, demanding, impersonal are a few words I’d use to describe the purchase experience. Support after sale is poor, ie, discovered a horribly crooked wall and was told they could come out to start repair in one month. I pushed for quicker and now the representative has abandoned us.

Community is great but Pulte doesn’t communicate and build quality is poor. You have to want to live here bad enough to deal with a poor quality home from Pulte.

Very poor quality and workmanship. We've found so many things that weren't properly finished so that they would last for the life of the house. We were sold on the model but found it substandard to the impression created.

Our salesman "P" was great. However, the quality of construction and the problems we're having are frustrating and after several months in home are still waiting for remedies to problem. They put us on the schedule 4 months out to have things fixed... but we keep finding additional issues.
