Del Webb Reviews

I would recommend to other buyers

The experience was positive overall. We are happy to be part of this new community.

Ok experience overall, however attention to detail in the home is lacking. Many paint issues along with Pultes unreasonable position on replacing dead plants and trees in first year dampens experience. In addition I have watched the trades on the 2 adjacent homes. Quite frankly the trades are not watched closely and are pretty careless when it comes to completed homes and property. Our Pulte Construction manager was excellent and responsive, however the one responsible for the homes next to us seems to be hardly ever around. I suspect they are short staffed to properly supervise their Subcontractors. ... More

We are excited to have moved into our new home built by Pulte/Del Webb. We picked the Compass model home which perfectly suited our needs during retirement. Bright spots in this process were Mike our Construction Manager and Art our Sales Consultant. Both Mike and Art were excellent points of contact during our home build process. We bought a spec home (already in build process) which meant that we had no input on additions, colors, materials, etc. That was not an issue as the home is absolutely beautiful. Our home however from the pre-close walkthrough on September 16, 2024 until just last week had many finish issues with trim, drywall, baseboard, and paint. The process to get the warranty issues corrected was painful and stressful, and required getting next level management involved to get the correction process moving forward. I understand that these are spec homes, not custom builds, but the quality of the finish work in our home was awful. My understanding from talking to other new home owners in our neighborhood is that we are a one off situation, and many of the other homeowners were pleased with the quality of their home builds. I needed to bring this issue forward and provide this recommendation; communication via text and email, along with pictures to your point of contacts with Pulte/Del Webb are key to your process in the event warranty issues arise. Pulte hires multiple contractors for their build process, and though many are excellent, you may run into a situation as we have. In the end, our warranty issues have been addressed, although we still have remaining issues to get completed even after the paint/drywall contractor arrived to do the warranty repairs. As a note, when the paint/drywall contractor completed their work, it was left to me as the owner to do a walkthrough with the contractor employee, and even though items below par were pointed out, they remain to be corrected. Pulte/Del Webb did not have anyone on-site to review the contractors completed warranty work. Do your homework when looking to purchase a new home. Come to the neighborhood or location you are looking to buy in, talk to existing homeowners and get their input. It may help you to avoid issues up front as you discuss your home build and purchase with whomever you decide to buy from and work with. ... More

We have been disappointed with several items in our new home and have turned in several warranty requested. Our pocket door entry into our master bath was rubbing the paint off the door. It was fixed after we submitted a service request. We had to submit a request to fix our third bedroom sliding closet door that had 2 right handle doors as opposed to our 2 bedroom which had the correct right and left handles. In addition I just turned in a service request for my lawn surface which it is uneven enough to be a concern for a twisted ankle or knee walking on it. Also the technology entry point at the street culminating at our house is a mess. I just turned in a service request for these items. Also following Milton we discovered a leak in our family room from the corner of our tray ceiling. Is that an anomaly or is it something we need to be concerned about? ... More

Everyone I dealt with to buy my home were very friendly and helpful.

I was glad that I hired an independent home inspector to join at various phases of my home's construction. A number of quality flaws and irregular build practices were caught, and corrections were requested. Pulte did make the necessary corrections or explained why non-traditional methods were employed. I did find small spots of paint from the rolled ceiling on my bathroom counters and various walls. Concrete pavement could have been higher in quality and free of damage from ongoing construction. One section of side lawn shrubbery died off when one zone of my irrigation sprinklers had not been connected to power in the control box. ... More

The community is a nice one and the other homeowners are very friendly

Several repairs to our brand new home have been required, each request has been fulfilled in a timely manner.

The home-buying process was extremely easy and well-explained, no complaints. Rachael, the design specialist, was fantastic. The choices of finishes are pretty expansive, and if you have the money, you can buy most everything. Due to the cookie cutter nature of Pulte builds, however, we could not get things like an outlet in the floor of the office, multiple paint colors, dimmers on any of the lights, or a wet bar. The kitchen and bathroom cabinets are definitely “builder quality,” and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about that, unless you do it post closing. Overall, we are very pleased with the process and the product, and would recommend … as long as the buyer does not seek a true custom build. ... More

We had an overall great experience with our builder for the DelWebb North Penn Community. Unfortunately, we purchased in a very hot real-estate market and feel the price was higher than we wanted to pay. Not really a knock on the builder, just a sign of the times.

Happy to have made the decision to move to the Sun City Mesquite NV location.

Our sales person Melissa was very professional and knowledgeable. Our second construction manager Daniel corrected incomplete work issues. So far our customer care rep. John has answered any of our concerns, we are only in our home one month.

Pulte did a great job building our dream home. We appreciate the attention to detail and making things right.

We have had very good experience with Pulte Builders. The construction manager for our home, Ben, was fantastic. Our experience with the home warranty group has also been positive. Overall, we are pleased with Pulte and their attention to detail.

Multiple issues being found which are getting fixed as I am finding them

The building process was easy and smooth. I’ve had plumbing issues after moving in that has taken a while to get attended to, but other other concerns were handled quickly.

Buiding a new home is NEVER going to be perfect from start to finish. Expect some bumps along the way. Having said that, the BIG DIFFERENCE, is the manner in which those bumps are handled. Our construction manager, Jay, was the reason we ended up with all expectations realized for our beautiful home. He was always on top of our build. He communicated with us on a regular basis, When I called or texted or sent an email, he was quick to respond and deal with our questions or concerns. The area in which I think improvement is needed, is in the workmanship. Too many small details by the tradesmen are overlooked or simply disregarded. Again, that is another area the construction manager is a very essential position in new home building. Luckily, we had one of the best and he made sure those details were "fixed" ... More

For example for improvement —streamline the architectural review to expedite the process and cover landscaping under warranty at least for the first 30 days which is not included.

F Dieguez attention to detail was outstanding and he followed up on all problems left by workers great job frank

My experience with Alvaro, the builder, has been excellent! He is very attentive and even though he is super busy, he always takes the time to answer any of my questions and help when he can.

Excellent very responsive to any inquiry and made certain all concerns were addressed/fixed

We love our new home by Pulte. In general we are very happy. There are some small issues eg: paint chips, finish work. I am assured these touch ups will be taken care of at our 11 month warranty. We did have a leak that was addressed immediately and are very happy with the quick response and repair work.

Beautiful home, well built to a point, but watch out for the missing details. Still finding and dealing with some sloppy workmanship issues that should not exist. The good news is that most are being addressed, slowly, but it is a never-ending process finding things that should have just been done right the first time.

He went out of his way to be certain all our last minute issues were handled.
