Del Webb Reviews

We bought a house that the specs we already determined but construction had barely started. We would have appreciated the opportunity to tweak some things but we not allowed to change anything

So many drops of paint on tile and carpets, hasn’t anyone heard of drop cloths? Convection ovens are commonplace today, but not in our new house.

Very Good Quality at a fair price !

So far Pulte has responded to and repaired the small things we have found needed attention.

Overall I had a good experience with Pulte.

All new homes have some issues but our experience with Dell Webb/ Pulte, has been positive. When we sent items that needed to be addressed, they were fixed in a timely fashion. We LOVE this community!

I want to start by saying that our overall building experience was good. On the plus side, the house design and features that we agreed to up front, were followed through to perfection. The project manager, Nick, was awesome and kept us informed during the build process and was responsive to our needs. However, we were disappointed with the condition of the home at final walk thru/closing. The whole process seemed rushed, which made for a lot of unresolved issues. For example, the paint that was done so neatly in the model home (e.g. nice clean, straight lines between the wall and trim), looked like it had been rushed in our home, and was not up to our standards. These were not the only items that made me a bit uncomfortable about the quality of the workmanship. The poor workmanship caught our attention, and as we looked further, more significant issues were identified. What did make me feel better about the whole process is that every neighbor that I talked to, people who had lived there for a while, had nothing but good things to say about the Pulte customer service. They explained that you have a year to get any outstanding issues taken care of, and that Pulte was very good about following through on these items. With this in mind, I have no doubts that we will end up with a home we are proud of, but just wish we could have gotten there in a more direct route. My feedback to Pulte would be that they need a mindset change. Our Project Manager was great, but it seemed like the deck was stacked against him-- with sub-contractors who were perhaps not as competent or not as accountable to the DelWebb standards. I would suggest to take the extra time, before the final walk-thru, and have team go through and inspect the home as if they were buying it. Taking care of these issues before the customer sees them would go a long way towards improving their overall customer satisfaction. ... More

Great communication and responsiveness with Construction Manager

there are a few things that need to be taken care of but I'm told they are not covered under the house warranty

We were given periodic access to the home for construction progress reports with Kevin, our building rep, who was responsive and helpful.

We purchased our second home in Sun City Festival.

We purchased a spec home in the final phase of our development. Pulte offered strong incentives to settle quickly. The upside is that we got a great value. The downside is that there are things about the home we would’ve done differently had we been able to customize it at the outset. The construction manager responsible for the home was extremely responsive and helpful prior to and immediately following move-in. Overall, we are very happy with our home.

Working with one of the Pulte Mortgage people was the biggest drag of all, Zero to One star is what keeps Overall from being a 5 star; Quality of workmanship was shotty in a few areas; Trustworthiness was close to 5, but we had to alert builder about things that were promised in written things not done; design center cost were marked up way too high on several items; vendors are way too slow responding to warranty ticket items, then they don't really do anything to correct issues on the first time. Overall, we love the neighborhood, we love our home, we have no regrets with our decision to building our home in DW Fulshear. If everyone was like Alvaro, everything would be 6 stars out of 5 stars. ... More

The closing process was very smooth, we had the opportunity to visit our home several times before completion. The sales person was great to work with. We were introduced to building manager and manager of the sun city peachtree.

All was made easy and convenient

Once you buy your home, a person from Pulte or Del Webb goes through the house with you and then they want an excellent rating and tell you so Be sure before you do any rating that ALL has been completed on your checklist. We were promised repairs but they never came through and this was after the rating! Beware

Repairs not completed from final walk through

Walk through before closing. Keep casual conversation to a minimum so you can ask questions. There were items about the HVAC and sprinkler system we were not told. We previously owned a home for 33 years so we are familiar with both. Simply turning on and off is not informative. There are vents that don’t work they help with pressure, this was not explained on walk through. Sprinkler rain gauge, not sure we have on we can’t locate it. Shrubbery should be guaranteed one year, even Lowe’s does this. I think since closing was in the winter our home does not have similar landscaping. It is disappointing. Over all so far quality of home seems good. Pulte is responsive to issues to date. ... More

A good house. A great community. Some issues but they have been responsive to my needs.

Send this form out in a year. I'll know a LOT more about how to rate the purchase.

Always available to assist and answer questions, even on their day off.

Manager Chris - goes out of his way, to help with any issues.

Overall Home Buying Experience was excellent. The home (Mystique), local sales consultant (Lynn P.) and home build manager (Mike R.) were outstanding.

We were rushed through the design center process and were not fully informed about everything. Our preclosing walk through was only one week before closing instead of two weeks before closing. Therefore some issues were not fully resolved prior to closing.

David the Builder was a pleasure to work with. He communicated well and was trustworthy. I never felt like we had to "check behind him". We did, but only because we wanted to be responsible home buyers. The contractors used were respectful and did quality work. Is the house perfect? No. There is no such thing as a perfect house. We are very pleased with our home and we love living in SCP.
