Del Webb Reviews

We love our new home. That being said the workmanship and finish quality did not meet our full expectations. The trim work and paint quality were disappointing.

After six new construction experiences, this contractor was by far the worst in terms of quality, reliability, and communications. We were assigned three different construction managers and had closed 4 months later than originally advised.

The entire team (Ronda, Tony and Kevin) has been outstanding.

Everyone was very helpful and the people were very helpful and friendly!!

My original move in date was 9 to 10 months from signing. There were many pushback until we received keys 16 months out.

Are builder is the greatest that I ever worked with ! Kevin has worked with us to the fullest ! He is kind & a gentleman, and is always there in a flash if we have any questions. I recommend him by far as the best of the best !

The experience was fine but the workmanship is not what one would expect for a home in this price range.

No Pulte people were present and issues could no be addressed at that time.

Once the home was finished, and the day before my closing, I had my “walk-thru” with the sales rep and the construction supervisor. Here are just a few of the problems: Almost every electrical wall plate in the home had gaps in the sheet rock and the wall plate. I was told by the construction supervisor that the workers use a sledge hammer to punch through the wall/sheet rock for the electrician to locate and install the electrical outlets. Another problem: There are two areas where the ceiling was dropping. Another problem: One kitchen cabinet had the door handle mounted on the wrong side of the cabinet door. Another problem: In the guest bathroom, the 2-piece shower wall did not have any caulking between the panels. Another problem: A window, on the outside, had a big chunk missing on the window frame. Another problem: At the walkway entrance to the front door, the metal fascia is ragged and dangerous. I was advised to NOT hold up the closing, and that these items will be taken care of (fixed) after the closing. Well, nearly 3 months later, and none of these problems have been fixed. In fact, there is a Warranty Department to handle construction problems because there are so many complaints, and they are back-logged! I expected a better home buying experience, and didn’t get it. ... More

Overall I am very happy with my new home. My sales person, Mark did a fine job as did Tim, the builder. The only reason that prevented a great rating was my horrible experience with your sub contractor, Phoenix Systems. I had upgrades of about $10,000 in my home including surround sound. They were to prewire the house and finish after I moved in. After moving in, they came for the installation and quickly realized that the entire pre wiring was done incorrectly. The installer stated it looked like they took someone off of the street to prewire the house. They had to take down all the speakers and reset them, resulting in insulation all over my home. They then had to reschedule and come back for what I was told would be a "quick fix". The quick fix took another 5 hours as the house had to be re wired correctly. This all should have been done in the construction period. The original installer also added a meaningless wall plate that serves no purpose and is an eyesore. I contacted Phoenix systems and wanted them to fix the eyesore they left, but I never heard back. I'd love to send you the email's I sent them including pictures showing what they had done. The customer experience with Phoenix systems was horrible and they never even apologized let alone replied to my complaint. Phoenix Systems prevented Del Webb from getting a great review. ... More

The community is nice, the neighbors are nice. The internal construction is very nice. The outside, ESPECIALLY the siding has been a continued issue. Either the material is of poor quality-plastic siding, OR the installation company is a JOKE. It could be both. Pulte needs to examine this VERY CLOSELY

There were several (5) issues missed during inspection (breakers, electrical, A/C, insulation, and missing items). Very difficult to contact Pulte Warranty group to resolve issues and they were not responsive (didn't return calls, took days to address issues with vendors, etc.) during the process. Eventually my Warranty contact left Pulte and I was not notified. I've been living in my home for over a month and the issues have still not been completely addressed. Additionally, quality of build and components used has not been great in relation to price of the home.

First of all, there is very little that can be changed. My construction supervisor was changed half way through the build then with a week and a half before my 30 days after move in check my next construction supervisor quit which left me with issues that could have been taken care of during that week and a half. Now I have to deal with the Pulte service request department. I had sent in 8 items on a service request, got an email back saying they would contact me. I was never contacted until I found another problem. Their response was we never received your 8 items. Now it seems that they want me to wait until I have my 11 month check on those items. The item that they did reply to was a problem with my cooktop not being set properly. They have told me I have to call Whirlpool to get this problem taken care of. Well Pulte put this stovetop in why should they not be responsible for fixing this problem??? I don’t even want to tell you about the terrible cabinets they put in these homes. The company gets a 1.3 on yelp. They would be lucky to get a zero from me. The cabinets are the worst built cabinets I have ever seen. I believe they are made of press board and while they look fine on the outside they are terrible on the inside. I have lived in another part of Texas for many years and Pulte was one of the best builders there so I thought this would be a great house but Pulte is not the builder I heard about years ago. I expected a bit better of a build for the price I paid for this house. ... More

The bidding process for this property was very usual, never had to bid for a home before and possibly placed an over bid not needed. Prefer the land plot already be included in sell of home not separate. Construction took a little longer than anticipated but that is not unusual. Pulte Mortgage communication was not great at all, signed the paperwork at very beginning then basically did not hear from them until a few weeks before closing (after several attempts to reach them). Overall construction was not complete at walk-thru or closing. There were still items that required to be fixed and still working to get some of those items fixed today (extremely slow process). Overall was a good experience, but not great! ... More

Overall, we feel we got pretty good value and like the house. A lot of attention to detail in both workmanship but also areas where Pulte cheaped out, which kept it from being a fantastic experience and house

We thought we bought a new house from Del Webb/Pulte; not a fixer-upper! After moving in, we had nearly 60 issues requiring repair or replacement. It’s been nearly two months since receiving the keys to our house and there are still 30 issues remaining. Many of them are major issues. Poor oversight during construction along with poor workmanship are the root causes for having so many repair issues after closing. Extremely slow follow up caused by a very disorganized process for making post construction repairs is as frustrating as finding so many repair issues after closing.

Love our new home and community. Had a independent inspection of the home done shortly after move in. Over all house was in good shape but a short list of things needed repair. To date these things have still not been repaired.

The finish work was probably the worst I have experienced. They didn't finish the items prior to closing. Doors are damaged, stove burner doesn't work, dishwasher had problems etc. There are several items not completed and it is a nightmare trying to get them back in.

Very disappointed in the workmanship and lack of care taken to follow through. We have a garage that looks like we've lived here for several years. Paint splatters, gouges, etc. We had to hire someone to come in to clean our floors because of the left over residue from grout. At first we not pleased with responsiveness to issues but Brittnay has really stepped up and is taking care of us. Our house is beautiful but because of all the work we have had to do, it's still not a home.

Overall good experience, did not like factors that the market drove more than the builder (bidding on lots, high interest rates, lack of materials), but overall a good quality home. Some extra attention to detail would help and better quality materials (cabinets mainly) as well as cleanliness during the build would have been greatly appreciated and made us feel the home was really worth the cost.

The overall buying experience was good for the most part. It was quite frustrating to deal with Pulte Mortgage as they did not communicate in a timely manner, or did not respond back at all the emails/voicemails, requested for same documents over and over several times, delayed by closing date and too much drama for the experience. The sales and building team were prompt with their emails and returning phone calls. They provided helpful feedback and information. The craftmanship was good in some ways and fair in others. There was paint specs on my floor that I had to remove, backyard sod and leveling appeared to be done sloppy and very uneven with poor coverage in areas, grass not taking and dips and holes evident. ...

Please see above comments. Thank you

Pulte was clear that changes could not be made after our selections were made. Beyond that, they did a great job in providing construction updates and meeting their commitments. After the closing they have continued to provide excellent service, including addressing punch list items.

Both Stephen and Matt are truly the cream of the crop! They treated me with great respect and made me feel like I was their only buyer! They were professional and ethical throughout my entire process. They took pride in their work and were always accessible to answer my questions in a timely manner. They kept me informed and updated on all of the workings building my brand new home. Both Stephen and Matt are GREAT ASSETS to Pulte Homes!!! Keep up the good work!!

We cannot believe how bad the quality of the work is in our house. (Kitchen has 3 lights over our island, not centered over island and no electricity) tile floors has bubbles in them. Our customer service person ( Brittney) has all this information and when I reach out about when we can expect someone to fix these problems I get no answer to my email and when I call3 times) get voice mail and no returned call. I can’t believe Del Webb has their name connected to this kind of quality in our home. And all our neighbors have the same problem .
