Del Webb Reviews

Working with max was a pleasure. Very professional and understanding to my concerns.

The lack of choice when choosing cabinets etc. was very disappointing. Also we will need to replace the tub and asked to just leave the tub out. This request was refused. The powder room is barely functional. The toilet is way to close to the wall as is the sink on the other side. There is barely room of the sink for soap. If both would have been closer to the middle it would be much better. Currently we can not use the toilet paper holder and I doubt there is enough room to put a vanity over the sink for storage. Brian Harris was great. He was very responsive to our requests

I've been here 2+months. There are several things that still need to be addressed. Some have been addressed. The lawn is terrible. Very unhappy. A lot of the lawn was very dry or dead. After 6 weeks it is full of weeds. There are a few things that have not been addressed such as: railings on the back porch, outside paint that needs to be retouched, concrete that needs to be ground done, etc.

Devon and Steven have been great in regards to working with them. Steven has gotten back to me immediately re: issues in the new house that need to be fixed, etc. ... or if I have any questions. I realize he probably is supervising a lot of workers and it's probably hard to check all their work thoroughly. Regarding Pulte homes in general .... our last home was a Pulte home and the workmanship was pretty good. It's been a bit disappointing in seeing the quality of products used nowadays to save costs (you can see through the insulation to the wood frame of homes/condo buildings going up now, the cabinet doors are so flimsy and the knobs mark the adjoining cabinet door immediately, you can't access the 2nd trash bin as the cabinet doesn't open out far enough, I can't access my bottom freezer bc the door hits the shoe molding so cannot open all the way, etc.). Steven did a great job. I'm just saying that Pulte in general has scaled back on their quality of products and functionality within the home. ... More

We really enjoy our new home. We’ve only been in for 6 weeks but so far everything has been great. A few things need to be fixed but they are chipping away at it.

I really liked the houses I saw here. They were comparable or better than other communities I looked at, and so I took the plunge. The area's amenities, shopping, entertainment, etc were already established and in place so while my street is a construction zone, the area is not. Because we are at the end of the build out, I had no choices in finishes, flooring, colors, cabinets, etc. So it was like when I bought my first home which was a resale. It took longer than expected to complete, but everyone was responsive to my concerns and still is as we work together to adjust the few things that were not done perfectly or need adjusting (the closet doors that came in late, needed painting and hanging for example). The house is comfortable, looks good and the neighbors are great. Not a bad experience at all. ... More

Took a very long time to build due to the pandemic. Our first manager terrible but our second , Steve, was outstanding. I think our house overall was ok but the trades are sloppy and need to be watched closer. Haven't got repairs done yet but they are scheduled for completion .

Over very good. Building manger was great, work very hard and quickly to resolve issues at close and after we were in house. Cleaners did a ok job, but not as clean as expected. Our construction manger made sure this an other issues were completed.

Overall the house looks good. Squareness of walls and trim needs considerable work to make it acceptable

Many promised dates and times were missed when it came to closing and fixing items found during the inspection. Not all items identified for repair were addressed before close and they still have not been fixed, there has been no follow-up by the builder. The day we closed the moved the construction manager to another new-build community and we appear to have been forgotten. I love the community,

2nd Construction Manager did a great job of communicating updates. They were still working on house at closing time. Interior paint job could have been better - sloppy in some areas. Construction Manager has been responsive on punch list but still have open items after 40 days.

I am pleased with the quality and construction of my home. However, during most of the process there was a lack of communication between Pulte, the mortgage company and my agent. It is because of that there were several delays and misinformation. There was information in the beginning of the process that the buyers should've been provided, i.e. upgrades and what was standard and what was not standard in your home versus the model home. Those small details would have made a difference in the building process. Now concerning Lance, he was and excellent liaison! He was kind, compassionate, and did the best he could under the circumstances he was put under. I could not have asked for a better person. You see I just went through a 30 year divorce, unexpected I might add, and I believe God put people in my path to help me along this new stage in my life. Lance was definitely that person. I don't consider him someone who helped me with my home, but I consider him a friend. He worked well under pressure and delivered a well constructed home. Thank you Lance! ... More

We are very happy with our new Del Webb home but other buyers should be aware of a few things. Del Webb is a Tract Home builder, not a custom or semi-custom builder. As a part of Pulte Group they are at the top of the tract home line and we think they are better than most tract builders. They provide a limited set of options on their homes. Buyers need to carefully peruse the options available in their options guide. Things such as structural options will need to be finalized early. You will have a limited amount of time at their design center (~2-3 hours) working with their designer selecting tile, carpeting etc.. Once you have signed off on your options at the design center things are finalized! No changes are allowed afterward. This is to allow Del Webb to lock down the basic design and order long lead time items. This also minimizes confusion and allows a smoother build process. They are building a lot of homes in parallel at any given time. We highly recommend that you hire your own inspectors for slab, framing and final build! Del Webb builds a good home not a perfect home. Think carefully about your preferences and communicate clearly with your sales person, preferably in writing via email. If you can, visit the build site several times to monitor progress. If you have questions, communicate them clearly with your builder and sales person. As a 55 plus community that may be building in a hilly area be aware that homes built on rising slopes may have stairs in their garages and entrance ways. Homes built on falling slopes may have stairs off their back patios. Walk the lot you intend to purchase! ... More

Had a great experience with Pulte sales dept, design, mortgage and construction. We feel the closing was rushed at end of year and the house fell short of expectations. Several big items were not complete. (i.e no master shower for 2 weeks after closing. ) And evidently noone told the construction crew on the closing date bc the house was wide open when we arrived the next day. And still had debris left on floors and counters, hole in wall where dryer gas line was. Along with other items addressed the week we was also moving in. Warranty advertises a few working days to contact you but it's been over a month and nothing heard. Our first time building and know now we should have been more assertive and direct and pushed closing until everything was complete and to standards. But doesn't eliminate Pulte's responsibility to deliver a finished product either. ... More

We arrived at our home a few weeks after close. The master shower was not draining, so I emailed customer service. Within 1 hour a CS-maintenance person arrived to unclog--what turned out to be massive amounts of grout hardened. Customer service responsiveness was great; but, why didn't Construction Walk-Thru test all drains, appliances and running water?

The realtor that sold us our home was misleading. We were led to believe our edging and lawn mowing were included in the HOA fee and after we got there found out they were not. In talking to our neighbors, many of them said they were also misled about this issue.

Beautiful home, modern design in an exciting new community. Good and speedy customer service. Improvements in quality control can help make the full experience even better.

Started out very shaky, but in the end I was somewhat happy although I end up spending $30k more than originally quoted due to time delays. Maybe it was the joy of seeing the end of the project.

The Pulte personnel I worked with were professional and helpful. They were also supportive as we worked through each step of the process which made the process of buying a house easy.

House design need some improvements, such as no windows in the bathroom and kitchen is dark. The kitchen needs windows for light and fresh air. Refrigerator space is too small and could not fix regular refrigerator.

I think they build to fast and don’t pay attention to detail.

It is a beautiful home. We were very happy with the options from which we had to choose and, overall, our service was very good. There were a few hiccups that related to lack of workers or supplies, and we would have been happier if this had been more transparent instead of avoiding conversations. At the end of this process, when a major life event occurred for us, every person on Pulte's staff that was connected to our build was exceptional in their handling of our situation and assistance in making sure our house was perfect for us. For this reason alone, I cannot be happier with the Pulte team and my home. ... More

Long process im assuming it had to due with supply chain and then hurricane

The sales staff was great! However the construction build quality leaves a lot to be desired. Two weeks after closing a pipe leak in the ceilingI destroyed one wall completely. It needs to be taken down to the studs, reinsulated, drywall replaced, painted and baseboard replaced. Carpet pad also has to be replaced. The HVAC system is not operating properly. Half the home has air flow, the other half nothing. Also have three large windows that do not seal the properly. There is at least a 1 inch gap in the upper corners between the window and frame. This means the frame isn't square & wasn't shimmed properly. When spending over a half million dollars for a home I expect the quality to be a lot better than what I've experienced. I am not happy! Who inspects the trades work? Apparently no one. ... More

We had a good experience considering this was our first home built from a company as large as Dell Webb. We received weekly pictures of the progress from Vicky, and it was nice since we were from MI. Our construction manager Tom was good about communicating with us, as we understood how many homes he was managing. He was very knowledgeable and kept us in the loop on the progress. We feel that once we closed, the communication slowed, and getting assistance was hard. Our fireplace was not working and we ended up just calling ourselves and got things taken care of. The construction was good, however it seemed sloppy. The home was filthy when we moved in, and we had bent screens, scratched glass, and uneven tiles in our guest bathroom. We’re still receiving past due notices from Spectrum regarding our cable, and have tried addressing this on numerous occasions. Aside from those few issues, we feel we had a good experience and are very happy to be a part of this beautiful community! Love seeing the progress on the clubhouse too. ... More
