Del Webb Reviews

Our experience up until about 3 weeks prior to close was great -- sales team and build teams were responsive, Very happy with our lot and our home. The last three weeks before close and for a couple of months beyond has been very rushed and there were a number of things that weren't taken care of that should have been. Things have taken a lot longer than they should have to get taken care of. And mistakes were made because builder trades were rushing and trying to finish homes too quickly. It felt as though they were trying to close as many homes as possible by the end of the year and we suffered because of it. On the whole, we are very happy with our home and feel it is a good quality home. We would recommend a Del Webb community to our friends. We just wish the tail end of the experience had been as positive as the rest of it. ... More

Home was beautiful except not complete when closed.

overall quality is quite good for the price. Del Webb not at all responsive to special requests

We love are home but there are a few things That need some attention I hope that we have not been forgotten it has been a few weeks since we have seen anyone

I feel the workmanship was not as good as it could have been. It seems like they rushed through the unit to move everyone in by the end of the year.

In general they communicated pretty well through the process. There are still a half dozen outstanding issues that have not been resolved after 2 months.

Overall we have had a good experience with Pulte. The buying phase was great (although Pulte mortgage was awful). Construction was delayed about 2 months but this is happening with all home builders. Our construction manager kept us up to date and communicated any delays and progress. For the most part the quality is good but we are still waiting on many things to be fixed/repaired after 6 weeks in the house. Luckily most are minor.

Skill and dedication of individual Construction manager assigned to your home makes a HUGE difference, good manager = good building experience. We had a very good construction manager. Paying attention to construction process either in person or via video calls is very important. The construction managers have many houses, you only have the one. We are pleased with how our house came out and we were fortunate that we had no major problems. But, we did encounter some issues as we went along, but caught them early and they were corrected. Pulte was responsive and has been helpful with loose ends after we moved in. Some upgrade options seem overpriced, but maybe that is the times we now live in. ... More

Pulte has always in the past built a quality energy efficient home however in this case, the quality control was just not there. Heater was never checked and did not work, water lines for sink in the laundry room were drywalled over and the super never caught it, missing cabinet, crown molding and oven at walk thru. Home was not clean, smudges not the walls etc. Pulte tried to cram the close instead of taking time to make sure everything was done prior to closing. SLOW DOWN and check your work before you bring the home owner in for walk thru and closing!

This is my fourth new home; my first from Del Webb (Pulte). I purchased from Del Webb (Pulte) because of their reputation. By far this was the most disappointing new home turnover I have experienced. In the past a builder would provide a buyer with a book containing all instruction, model numbers, and warranty cards for the new items in my home. We found inside one of the kitchen drawers ‘information for one appliance, not complete, nothing else. We also found the home was not cleaned very well. There were several marks on the tile floors in both bathrooms which did not come up when my wife washed the floor. The wood floors also did not look very good and the sliding glass doors were not cleaned well. The worst part however was what happened on the second day we were in the home. Early on a Saturday morning we discovered raw sewage coming out of the showers and toilets. We contacted the emergency number provided and it took six hours for someone to show up to check on the problem. We were told that the sewer line was clogged with paper towels, what the plumber described as several roles’ worth. Finally, several uncompleted items were pointed out to the project superintendent during the construction process, a few several times, and nothing was done to correct them. Now we are waiting for a crew to come and take down our sliding glass doors so that the outside wall which was not finished can be repaired. I feel all of this could have been avoided. I would like to say though that the warranty manager, Joey, has been very responsive to our concerns. ... More

Beautiful home built in timely manner. Exceptional field managers who are responsive and personable. ( James and Connor). Warranty person very responsive too (KrisAnn). Great floor plan friendly neighborhood.

Del Webb/Pulte made it pretty easy to buy a lot and home. After a down payment, no other funds were due until closing, unlike other more conventional construction loans. I did have to put some additional money down on the pool and finishes we chose. Communications was not good at first, but got better as construction moved along. Direct communication with my project manager was very helpful. The homes are expensive, but nice, as is the Del Webb community. After closing, there were a number of small issues that the QC team addressed quickly. Having the builder handle your pool (will require additional down payment) and fencing will make these items more expensive, as opposed to direct communication with contractors and having them built later. When planning your move, whatever the salesman tells you your anticipated closing date is, be prepared to add 2-3 months to that estimate, especially if the builder handles your pool for you. Also, as of 2021-2022 it could take 2-4 months for furniture to be delivered once ordered. Overall, good experience. Even though my journey started in March and ended in late December, I do not regret the choice made to purchase a home in Del Webb, E-Town, Jacksonville. ... More

Design center was overwhelming. So many choices to be made. Finished home different in structure from the model. Never made aware of this fact. Fireplace very poor quality. Never told about storage area needing finishing off. Appliance not available because of Covid caused delay in moving in after closing.

Fixing problems faster and not having to wait so long for completions . Making sure all appliances are working properly and not having refrigerator problems 5 weeks out from closing date and having to wait almost two weeks to get a repair man out to view the situation and hopefully fix it. Not having cable hookups 4 weeks after moving in. Waiting for tv and internet

Due to the ongoing issues for everyone living in the past and current years of shortages, pandemics, etc I am only disappointed on the length of time to get my home completed. I love the location, the home itself, the honest answers to questions from my construction manager.

Won’t warranty a cracked shower/tub insert.

The contractor was very good informing us of any issues and responsive to all questions. Dell Web should change some options in the Sonoma Cove to help with usefulness and looks. Such as the microwave oven when ordering the gourmet kitchen. It is to small with an oversized chrome border (ugly) with the cabinet to low making the counter top below it useless. This was not shown in the model. Also the cabinet above the counter top separating the dinning room and kitchen is difficult to use. The cabinet doors open outward and you can't reach in to the shelves. We would have never ordered these two options had we realized their draw backs. lastly the main hallway has five ceiling lights (1 that hangs down at the entry way and 4 recessed). The one at the entry way hanging down should be controlled separately with its own wall switch. ... More

Overall good experience. Project manager Ben was very helpful and responsive to questions and issues.

Salesforce was knowledgeable and helpful in the planning process. Construction Manager was experienced and attentive to our needs and details. For the most part the warranty personnel are responsive to our needs and concerns with one exception.

Cost of options is way to high. If you can do without certain options wait and make the changes after closing. You will save a lot of dollars.

Our project supervisor was excellent in assisting us in getting a lot completed correctly during the processing of building especially during the end stretch.

Love the community and we love our home! There were delays outside of our control and outside of Pulte's control as well, so that part was frustrating for everyone. My only real complaint is that we have been in our home over a month now and we still have a non-working oven. We waited weeks for the appliance repair person to come out as instructed, only to learn that the main problem is an electrical issue. Now we have to wait for an electrician to be scheduled. The fact that Pulte is okay with us living without a working oven and isn't doing all they can to more quickly rectify the situation is disappointing. Other than that, the home itself is beautiful and we love living here! ... More

Easy to work with everybody from the sales representative till closing

Seriously believe everyone I have worked with has cared and done what they could do. Issues are rolling down from corporate. Not hiring enough people, so those doing heavy lifting are overwhelmed.

Love my new home! Quality workmanship, nice styling. Would appreciate more printed documentation supplied for appliances, shouldnt have to go to the web for every question you have. Overall very pleased.
