Del Webb Reviews

Our experience with Del Webb has been great with the exception of a few bumps in the road. We lived in another state while building our home which gives a huge disadvantage. However, our Construction Manager, James, was phenomenal. He addressed our concerns while building, and he took his time with us while doing our walk throughs. He was patient with all of our questions, and he really cared whether or not we were happy with our results! We have a couple of outstanding items to be finished, but feel that they will be resolved soon.

Overall, a good experience start to finish

Kevin sales person was great and helpful. Construction manager Ethan made sure work was done properly and wasn't satisfied until it met his approval and state guidelines.

We purchased our house on a short sale so we did not go through the design and build process. The interactions with the sales and finance teams were good. Quality of the home is below what we would expect. First and foremost is the quality of the paint used and the paint application is very poor. Additionally, there were numerous paint spots on the floor that took multiple attempts by Pulte contractors to remove. The last individual that removed the paint used Laquer thinner which has resulted in apparent damage to the floor finish which we will be identifying as a warranty issue.This is the single biggest complaint that I and the neighbors I have talked to have. Besides the paint there are basic craftsmanship issues such as hammer marks on the garage door header and dented doors and threshold which were replaced. The pocket door between kitchen and laundry room must have been damaged during install and someone attempted to repair it by “mudding” it, but it was never smoothed put or finished. We found this just after moving in and reported it and it has not yet been repaired. A couple of other small items identified at walkthrough have not yet been repaired. Please feel free to contact me for additional information ... More

The work load on the construction managers was too much, spread too thin and affected their ability to be timely in their responses. All mangers were knowledgeable, professional , personable and sincere in their efforts to resolve issues.

The quality and workmanship I believe is slightly above average. The price is attractive when considering prices in other parts of the country. Overall I’m very happy with our new home. One of the most impressive features of del Webb is the constant follow-up and communication of del Webb with the buyer. Jim in Sun City Texas.

Overall our experience in buying a DWGD Villa was first class. April and Misty were awesome and could answer all of our questions throughout the process. The Pulte Mortgage Team did a fantastic job getting the paperwork finalized in a prompt manner. Our two negatives … 1) On the day we made the handshake agreement to purchase the buydown rate for the rate was at ~5% but due to a few days delay in mortgage application (had to be done online) and the weekend it had risen and ended up costing us almost $2k. Ouch! 2) Our villa wasn’t turn-key ready at closing. Our construction manager (Dominic) informed us he would be available for the next 30 days to finish the punch list items and any other items discovered upon move in. Well, it seems he has ghosted us! We’ve texted him twice and crickets. Last text he responded and apologized and said he would take care of the items and that was 10 days ago. We’re trying not to be the bad guys here but after you buy a $400K home we’re left with frustration. ... More

Be sure to be actively involved in the building process to identify any problems immediately.

Overall satisfied with our new home, disappointed in the quality of interior paint and wood trim. Everyone at the sales of was professional and responsive.

Having a few small issues with hardware coming loose, and outlets not working in past two weeks

Devon was great from first visit to closing. Closing day was a little Chaotic, but with Terri and I being "Construction" understood the nature of multiple settlements in one day! We are still waiting for some warranty items but we are in contact witht he team.

Great experience with the sales team! Great experience with the options select team! So far, great experience with the customer care team! Quality issues include the painting team. There are paint drips that were never caught on almost every door in our house. It is unsightly and unnecessary for an experienced team of painters. Almost every door has “sticking marks” where the door was closed too soon after painting and got stuck. No information about cabinets was provided. We had a cabinet shelf fall from broken clips breaking China and injuring me. We reported it. Customer care came and looked at it. No response yet and no resolution to getting manufacturer info on weight requirements etc. the upgraded KA refrigerator is not what we expected in quality. Love the layout floor plan, love our options pics. Additional upper end options should be available in a 55 and over. Marble options in the baths would have been nice and commiserate with our price point. Many have more to spend on this and are willing to as this is most folks last home before any assisted living might occur. I would also recommend giving a painting option for white ceilings. The whole room one color and in grey, is a bit dismal. Given the price point of this neighborhood, the option selections need a boost and refresh. We love the community atmosphere and are enjoying the community center, pools, and spending time with our new neighbors. ... More

Del Webb us a great development. Easy to work with the sales team and very satisfied. Key things to improve on are drywall finishing work and attention to details like cleaning off building materials from surfaces. Counter top issues as well.

Exellent home. Very beautiful. They stand by the quality of their work . Exellent home buying experience.

Repairs after move in can sometime be slow.

Overall, this was a very easy and pleasant experience - from viewing available properties, negotiating the contract, working with the construction manager, closing, and working with the customer care manager. The sales rep, Kialey B. went above and beyond our expectations and really set a high standard for others to follow - DWS should name a road or something after her. We purchased a property that was already complete and there were some issues we wanted addressed/corrected before closing. Although not everything was complete, enough was done for us to close on time. Kyle B., the construction manager, and Oliver D., the customer care manager, have stood by their word to complete everything to our expectations and are doing a great job. We look forward to settling into the community and trust the DWS staff will continue to be professional, reliable, and friendly. ... More

We love our house the layout is wonderful. Just had a few issues but overall it’s a great house.

The experience was good from beginning to end. The only negative was that we were scheduled to move in on February 24, and then it became April 12. Also, after we moved in, we heard clawing inside the walls. Some animal had found its way in before us, and was living in the walls. Not much help from anybody to get it out, but it sounds like the poor thing has expired.

Start to finish good communication from all parties. Quality products throughout. Only negative has been the finishing, i.e., wall board in garage not smooth, some paint drips, window sills with broken boards. These items will be addressed and I hope will be fixed.

Our first sales rep was absolutely wonderful, but she left and we were assigned someone else. I sent him 3 emails with questions and he never responded so I was pretty upset. Our building supervisor was wonderful and made sure we did get our questioned answered. Besides the one sales staff, everyone else was great!

Andrew and Kenneth have been more than helpful and considerate through the past year. The house is pretty much what we wanted and the neighborhood is truly a friendly atmosphere with lots to do. The house has a few minor cosmetic issues which should be easy to fix and one issue that will need to be resolved soon. All in all, we are happy to have made the move.

My salesperson and construction guy - great.

The Guy (Scott) said he would be back in 30 days to fix any problem we had in the house and he never showed up after 30 days plus I asked him for a few extra tiles for the floor in which he said there was some there allready but there was NOT

Overall our home is wonderful! We have issues that we wished we would have caught at our walk-through. Might I suggest a 2 part walkthrough! 1st day catch as much as you can and 2nd day walk through with fresh eyes. Too many things missed if you are hurrying to close! We Understand you have a year to fix things but when you buy a beautiful new home….it’s hard to wait to make things right!

Bought home in minny then flew back to florida till spring. Have only spent 2 weeks there so far
