Del Webb Reviews

Jason is really and easy builder with whom to work. Answered all my questions carefully and in depth. Excellent response.

Darren in sales, Jack our construction manager, Nikki in design and Tracy and Sunny in finance all did a great job!

The Carolina Gardens Community is great! Lots of wonderful people to meet. My only complaint is……. Being in an OVER 55 Community ……67 years old and living alone ….most everything needs to be done online on a computer ….And Not a phone. I totally understand that this is the times now but after a certain age my technology knowledge is not one of my best abilities. I asked my salesman if I could get a printout of all the paperwork and he said NO! Straight out No! I don’t have a printer and spending close to $800 thousand on my home I did not feel I was asking too much. How was l suppose to easily read and view all my paperwork and contracts? It’s hard to scroll up and down over a hundred pages on a computer or phone to look up information with the typed letters being so small and the buttons so tiny. It would have meant so much to me if I could have just gotten a print out! I would have loved to hear SURE THING! Was I really asking too much??? I finally got a friend who helped me get it all printed out and feel so much better. Remember we are senior citizens! Don’t need to concentrate on things like the dishwasher was raised a few inches to help with the senior citizens back issues…..concentrate on listening to the people needs. Technology needs! ...

Contractor response for warranty issues brought up with Pulty are poor

Now I realize I bought an expensive track house. I worry about the future of the Sun City “neighborhood” concept that it was built on. Now the emphasis is on how many homes can be built and how fast. Infrastructure and amenities no longer come first but only after most of the homes have been built. Very disappointed in the Pulte model of Sun City.

I like it here but not to happy with the process to get things corrected that are wrong in the homes & since continued building is being done this type of things isn’t getting any better, I actually was told to just keep a list & on the 10th month review them things will get fixed, however, that’s not true because they will them have problems so it’s like a viscous cycle. Thanks

The Buying and closing process was fantastic. The issue I have is we are 45 days in the house and we are still waiting for half of the closing walk repair list to be completed. We are now at the 30 day repair list and 10 days past submitting and no repairs have been scheduled. We don’t even have parts to use the full extent of our microwave. The AC still isn’t working correctly, it blows like a wind tunnel and you can’t talk or hear the TV over the noise.

At the end of the process everything worked out. Communication from the builder was poor after closing. Our CM left a couple of weeks after we closed. No one told us he had left. Communication with the regional manager was poor at best. I would advise buyers to make sure all items are fixed prior to closing on the house. We worked with a new CM and a warranty person after multiple communications. They were both fantastic and our issues were finally resolved.

Good experience. Never knew though that we good have had blinds for windows included. I ended up with paying for blinds. Only bad thing I could find

I was fairly please with the buying process however, when it came to the walkthrough and final walkthrough there was a problem. The lot was not properly graded when it was developed, which created the situation of having standing water. After the first walkthrough Pulte re-graded the back and side yards, creating a large ditch across the entire back of the property, inside the property line. Ditch was not there at the first walkthrough. This had a major impact of the yard itself, reducing the amount of space in the yard (I had planned on putting in a fence for my dogs) as I learned the HOA would not permit a fence to cross the ditch. Well, When I bought the house there wasn't a ditch! Now with the ditch I have continuous standing water, the grass is dead, and we have a breeding ground for mosquitos as well. I asked repeatedly for Pulte to remedy the situation yet they have refused. ... More

Not the same quality as the Pulte Home I bought back in 2010. Shame that profit comes before quality and pride

I was able to choose all the options I wanted for my home and am very pleased with the quality of my choices. The only thing I would change, is that I chose to leave the extra part of my lanai uncovered. Because there is nothing behind me or on the side, I get a lot of wind and rain from 2 directions. So I am going to pay to have a solid roof put over that area and then the entire lanai screened to avoid wind and rain damage to my outside furniture, and make sure that no rain comes in my house if I leave the windows on that side open, It's more expensive, but sturdier than just a birdcage over that area. If I had it to do over, I would have had the entire area included under the roof when the house was being built. ... More

Trent was very easy to work with and answered all questions and got things done. He went above and beyond in accommodating us with meeting times since we were from out of state. Unfortunately the quality of some of the work done was not up to our expectations due to the limited workforce they are working with. Ryan, sales representative was great to work with throughout the process. He provided a lot of additional information on area and referrals for additional work to be done after closing. A little disappointed that after closing, we did not receive any type congratulations or "thank you" from him once we closed. Pulte Mortgage - this process was very cumbersome...there were too many people that we had to deal with - and we had to provide all of the same information multiple times. They obviously did not communicate together. We utilized Pulte Mortgage due to the closing incentives. ... More

Every step was very simple. The initial interaction with the sales staff all the way through the mortgage process and to the closing was the easiest of the 5 homes we have ever bought. The process they have developed is the best we have ever seen from a home builder. We are estatic about our new home and look forward to many years here.

I will only say that it's been an experience. I'm thankful that we were able to close when we did and hopeful for the future of our development.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BUILT 4 HOMES IN OUR LIFETIME AND ALL WERE 2 TO 3 TIMES LARGER THAN THIS LAST AND FINAL ONE FOR US. WORST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES AND THE WORKMANSHIP AND THE DIRTY MESS LEFT FOR US WAS TREMENDOUS!! WE NOW HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE WARRENTY COMPANY AND PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR SOME REPAIRS AND TELLING US OTHER THINGS NOT DONE WELL ARE ACCEPTIBLE TO PULTE HOMES. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US AND SO MANY OTHERS. SOME HAD TO BE BRIBED TO BUY THEIR HOMES BY THROWING IN A GOLF CART. WE JUST ASKED FOR THINGS TO BE DONE RIGHT. WE PAID FULL CASH FOR OUR HOME AND WANTED TO PULL OUT OF THE DEAL ALL TOGETHER TWO DAYS BEFORE CLOSING. WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR OUR REPAIRS AND VERY STESSED OVER THE WHOLE PROCESS. I WOULD BE WILLING TO TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT THIS AND MAYBE I WON'T HAVE TO FIGHT SO HARD TO HAVE THINGS DONE RIGHT. AT THIS TIME I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND PULTE HOMES TO ANYONE WITHOUT WARNING FIRST. ...

Bridgette our salesperson was the bright spot in this process .

Disappointed in the quality of the workmanship compared to other Pulte homes. Cracked concrete, inside doors that are not leveled / can't be closed and which were fixed by bending door hinges. Kitchen cabinets that needed touching up. Door seals that needed to be replaced since they were short of the door width. Misaligned garage door, Paint droplets on tile floor. We had 4 windows glass panes replaced. Not sure whether the work was rushed to meet closing date.

When we started this purchase - we were raving fans of the builder, but at the end we could no longer recommend them.

Sales Office lied when they told us work on the new building quit every day at three. They work seven days a week until dark sometimes even after dark. We were told appliances were checked and tested before we moved in. Mine, and at least 30 other people in my building have electric ranges where the ovens tripped the circuit breaker. Every time it is put on. It took whirlpool a month to come out and investigate the situation. Dog owners are ruining the new building. They let the dogs defecate right outside the front door, ruining the grass. We have even had dogs defecate in our elevator and the lobby where the owner just took off and left it. The rule is dogs should be walked 30 feet from the building. These people do not read emails. They should be sent regular mail on what the rules are, and fine the ones who break those rules. I also don’t know how Pulte can build multi family buildings without automatic doors in compliance with ADA regulations. ... More

Communication was bad. Lots of finger pointing and certain departments would not return calls Construction manager was thorough and responsive

We experienced a few issues after moving in and they were fixed in a short period of time.

I have total confidence in Del Webb Company. Everyone at the company that I came in contact with was totally professional and went above and beyond to help me through this process as stress free as possible. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Del Webb/Pulte have been responsive to any concerns and the customer service is excellent.
