Del Webb Reviews

No comment. Just the Workmanship is very bad . Will love to share picture if possible.

Needed more instructions on things like irrigation, etc

That everything is a upgrade, I found I could not get what I really wanted, because the smallest thing was a upgrade. Therefore I am not as satisfied with my home. I guess I really couldn’t afford this home , so I would make sure my friend and family understands before buying here.

These homes have nice design factors.

Home was built too quickly. Workman ship is very low quality. No hot water in master shower since Dec 23 Finally repaired on Feb 9. Settlement was Dec 23. Poor quality assurance. Someone should have checked for hot water.

It appears that some materials were not up to the upgrade we thought we would have. Also, due to delays on other items, it appears some work such as carpet installation should have been delayed until the cabinets were installed. Also, having an issue with the upgraded tile we chose for the house. It appears to be substandard and chipping for no apparent reason.

We love our new home. We enjoyed watching each step of it being built. Everything went pretty smoothly. Since being in our home we’ve had issues with our doors. I sent an email and still nothing. So a little frustrated with the lack of response. But all in all we’re very pleased with our new home.

Pulte Builders on time and easy closing.

We had some items that needed to be redone such as caulking, scratches on glass, and painting - these were taken care of. However, we bought a home with all new appliances, since day one our refrigerator has a loud humming noise. The builder sent out one person and he said they are supposed to sound like that. We made it a point to go into other homes that are for sell in Del Webb to listen to the refrigerators and none of them sound like ours. We called our Pulte representative and he came and said he will have another guy come and look at the refrigerator. The guy came and heard the humming and leveled the refrigerator and said to call him if it didn’t stop. Since then, I have sent recordings daily of the refrigerator humming and I have not heard from the refrigerator guy nor our Pulte representative. ... More

Our experience with the sales reps, both Pamela and Bob at DWOC were great. They were very attentive and helpful throughout the build process. Also, our Project Manager Daniel was excellent. Great attitude and thoroughness with us every step of the way. Unfortunately, we aren't impressed with the after closing Customer Care Team in regard to one person who has handled the issues that arose after closing. We've reported things that needed addressing and their lack of follow through has made this part of the Pulte experience frustrating. There needs to be some accountability in this area, especially with the lack of communication and follow up. ... More

The overall experience in the build and relationship with our construction manager Christian was excellent. However the workmanship by the trades and the quality of the materials used especially the doors, cabinetry, paint and overall finishes are disappointing and in my opinion subpar.

We have only been in the house under 2 months now and we are happy with our home which was a spec home. We like the lot and sitting on the patio at night enjoying the views. Other than wishing the lot was bigger and the house had more closet space we do have some minor complaints: 1) The garage floor is pitted throughout the garage which is going to require an epoxy coating to hide. 2) There are a few light switches in hard-to-reach places. 3) The trim painting must have been water down since it has very little gloss/shine to it compare to the touch-up paint that I purchased. Night and day difference between what the build painted and the paint coming out the can that I purchased. 4) The Whirlpool wall oven and microwave and installed on the same wall have different color clocks. We were told by a Dell Webb area manager that this is a Whirlpool issue and nothing they can do at this time. 5) We are concerned the AC sizing for the house and after discussion with a couple trusted AC specialist the conclusion that a 2.5ton unit paired with a 4-ton furnace/blower is undersized. We have noticed In the 100 degree heat with the typical humidly levels the unit runs non-stop during the day. Note - Responsiveness to issues was given 3 star since we had to select something for the review. We have not placed any warranty calls at this time. ... More

We are happy with our home but have some unfinished landscape work and trim work that needs to be addressed, very difficult to get anyone to make it a priority or receive a schedule that they can meet. Waited four hours last week and contractors never showed and no communication from anyone.

The sales rep we worked with was awesome! He knew where we wanted to be and some of the ‘must’ items in the home and worked hard to get us there. The build/ construction process was a little frustrating as we had a few changes in the construction manager the 1st couple not being really responsive. The one we ended with was great but, unfortunately, we missed some opportunities to have corrections made in the build process. There are numerous spots where attention to detail was missed. For the cost, there should be better overall quality of work. The community is great and so far, the response to needs from HoA is good. ... More

Lots of problems with no resolution in the near future. Also spoke with other owners with the same issues.

Can’t go out to my backyard or send my dog out there since it is mud. No one seems to want to help.

Pulte Warranty is slow to respond. Many of the issues can't be identified until you live in the home for a couple of months. The Pulte Sales Team is Great!!

Holding out on rating the builders a five star until we see if they fix the water issues many of us are having. We bought in here because there was a very low possibility of any flooding. But...in the two months we have been here we have seen some very real issues that could cause major problems. Apparently, Pulte is on it and we hope that they find a resolution. Then ...five stars!

Pulte seems to rely almost exclusively on subcontractors. My opinion is that these contractors need to me managed a lot more than Pulte is doing now to improve on their quality of work, productivity and consequently on their cost of work. The construction manager is stretched too thin. More supervision and overnight of subs definitely required.

We were so lucky to have the superintendent assigned to build our home. He was empathetic to us living across country and very responsive given the state of labor and supply chain issues

Not going to lie, buying a new build can be very stressful. you think it will be easy because you get to pick what you want but that is the hard part. Upgrades are not cheap other builders include things this builder does not and vice versa. Highly recommend having an inspector come with you with each walk-through you will miss things and after you moved in it takes a bit to get things fixed if needed or if even whether it’s determined part of warranty or not. But overall the house is pretty, would prefer a different lot but of course everything cost more. The community is great and overall so far Del Webb has been accommodating. ... More

The hvac system had issues with the heat and after they fixed that the air conditioner didn’t work now it is just noisy. The drywall and painting team has been in to fix several places and then paint. The landscaper did a poor job in the back yard.

For the most part working with Pulte was a good experience. However, we were never informed about the location of support posts in our finished basement. Now there is a post/column 3 feet from the center of the stairs. Very poor planning and very unattractive and the people we’ve talked to say it would have been easy to move this post a few feet away. At closing we agreed that there were 5/6 issues that still needed attention: 1. Our contract states the the cold air vent which is high up in the entryway would be moved down closer to the floor. 2. The screens in several windows do not fit properly along the bottom. There’s a gap where insects can easily get in. 3. Our refrigerator is still not installed. 4. The master shower door is not installed. 5. A spot of crown molding needs sanding and repainting. The furnace room and sump pump rooms were never cleaned up so we have had to remove debris left by the workers. We understand that our addition has a number of houses that are in the final stages so the contractors are busy trying to finish all these properties but it is now 5+ weeks since our closing and none of the above issues have been resolved and email, calls and texts go unanswered. It’s a beautiful and well-maintained property so the lack of attention to the above issues is disappointing especially since our house is over 4000 sa.ft. and has upgrades throughout. ... More

The whole building process went very smooth for me. My building manager did a really good job of keeping me informed on things. The only negative I have is that once you close, you are kind of forgotten. I've been in for over five weeks and I still have a list of small things that need to be done - and several touch up paint issues.

The overall quality is the best. As with any builder, there are finishing issues they respond to attentively.
