Del Webb Reviews

Craft workmanship absolutely horrific and rushed into the closing process into a home that was not even remotely close to be moved into. It’s been six weeks since closing and we still have a multitude of craft coming through to try to fix the inadequacies associated with extremely poor workmanship. Also equally as important, the workers in the area that are working on other homes are very disrespectful and continue to blast their music at a decibel level that can be heard inside the home. This is an absolutely horrible situation.

Overall quality of subcontractors work was below average, specifically painting and electrical

Very poor workmanship, large chips in baseboards just painted over, missing trim on bathroom vanity, still have carpenters paper under stove, grout and paint splatter not cleaned up. Just no pride in their work and absolutely NO attention to detail by field managers and inspectors. Not what you would expect for a new home.

Lots of surprise cost that are NOT included and NOT disclosed until you are in home. Once you close you will never hear from anyone. Warranty issues left for months...still waiting! Wrong info and no one will take responsibility. Original Sales Gal was great and then moved.....

I stand by my first review sorry you guys don't like it when someone speaks the truth. One month in and our list of issues still have not been address no call and no show.

Our interaction with the mortgage company and Ms. Wessen in particular was so terrible it caused us to become so stressed out. and the Project Manager was like 22 years old and knew nothing about construction and ruined our floors.

Del Webb continues to have a great reputation that’s why I chose a home here. A few minor issues that warranty department is taking care of.

Punchlist items identified during the walkthrough (by Ron) have either been completely resolved (by Darly) or will be. Overall, a very good experience considering the many negative impacts of Covid, supply chain logistics issues, and extreme labor shortages.

During construction the response to any questions we had by the building supervisor was excellent & so was his response to any concerns we had. Since closing & moving in, the response has been variable - a few have been prompt but several others have been delayed or ignored until we repeat these concerns.

Everything DW provided was at or above my expectations. I am extremely happy with the final product.

The buying process went OK, spent 6 weeks in a Hotel which cost over $6,000. Never once were the VILLAS mentioned and never got help from PULTE as was discussed by 2 different people who knew my situation. Pulte has a good reputation, BUT they are only as good as the craftsmanship!!!! NOT GOOD!! SAFETY.. of individuals as we age I feel is not a consideration. The ELECTRICAL (light switches) are a joke... When you walk into a room for safety in the dark (night) one should have a light switch near doorway that turns on lights in the room the are entering. As medical person this is a major flaw in PULTE'S home electrical designs, NO consideration for safety of those who as they age lose depth perception, develop cataracts, limited peripheral vision. Shame on PULTE HOMES for not addressing SAFETY first in their home electrical design. ... More

Construction and closing was on time. Interaction with the building process via the project manager was a smooth process, the process along the way was well communicated from the mortgage process, to the final closing was as advertised and exactly on time. Quality of the home built was to may satisfaction.

This builder is not living up to their reputation as a premier home builder. Overall quality is not there and certainly not what we expected. Rush to close with promises for everything to be done and good, but once you sign all care and concern seem to be gone and disappeared. Did not meet our expectations and we are very disappointed and concerned. Ever heard of a " Pig in a Poke" ??

The home buying process was okay considering the current market conditions. It was annoying to have information (contact info) given to Del Webb’s list of venders for items like financing, insurance, etc. Responsiveness was poor during the building process, a returned phone call / email should be standard not the exception. The quality/ workmanship of the home is not near what is expected, even for a “track home”. Pulte is a large money make machine and it is apparent a quality product is not a priority. The response to issues is reasonable. However, it should not be considered standard practice to close now and “fix it later “. It is a huge inconvenience to fix poor quality and poor workmanship after the purchase. It appears that the builder will be fixing issues during the entire one year warranty period, afraid of what will happen and the response after one year. ... More

Seemless buying experience. The communication during construction process could have been better. Construction manager changed towards the end which helped. Overall still positive.

Quality control definitely needs to be improved. I became the defacto project manager inspecting the house and identifying all of the issues needed to be corrected. I closed on the house even though the refrigerator needed to be replaced, the sink was defective, and the rear lawn was partially dead. Multiple instances of paint were left all over the floor (that were addressed prior to close). However, the kitchen shelves were not cleaned nor were the top of the windows. After previously building four homes, it was obvious to me that the entire construction staff rushes to get the job done without proper time, oversight and attention to quality. ... More

We bought a spec, so we weren't on board with the entire process, but from when we initially purchased to final move-in, it went well. A couple times, my spouse wondered how Garrett and team would get it done, but they did and on time. The quality and value of our new home is a "heap sight" better than many homes we have lived in. What matters to us both is what happens after the keys were delivered to us. The warranty guy David steps up strong and gets things taken care of. There is always going to be a little something here or there that is not 100% perfect -- built by humans after all, but David gets it taken care of and follows through to make sure fixes are done right. Our experience with the builder’s team was great. They did what they promised and more. Every time, Garrett responded to us in a timely manner. He was quick to respond. Appreciated his non-hurried, careful, and helpful approach during the walk through before closing. What can I say . . . Garrett worked extremely hard to deliver a complete home in the short time allotted to him. When he had questions, he quickly asked what we wanted. He was respectful and polite and we quickly ascertained that delivering excellence is what drives him to make sure the client was happy. Above all, you can trust Garrett. His word is his bond. 10 out of 10 ... More

They need to pay more attention to details in certain areas. It’s like pulling teeth to get anything taken care of after closing. Also. I was supposed to have a 30 day walk thru but that still has not happened.

Quality is mediocre at best. Shoddy workmanship and cleanliness. If the construction supervisor had not been changed, the finished home would never have been acceptable. Painting is bad. There is still paint on the kitchen door window and poor coverage on the exterior. Somehow, despite not yet occupying the house, the first water bill showed 14,000 gallons usage. I hope to check for leaks tomorrow. My normal usage is 3100 gallons per month. The drywall work in the garage sucks. I Just had it painted and had to do quite a bit of repair. The windows are dirty. The garage door opener exterior keypad does not work. We specified brushed nickel fixtures, but the bathroom lighting fixtures and faucets do not match. The price would be sort of okay for a gated community with private streets but it's not okay for public access. The location and construction schedule and Lennox HVAC are great and the only reasons I can live with this purchase. ... More

Building took longer than expected. Several issues with the roof that need to be repaired, The cabinets need repairs. Never recieved our cutlery drawer. Garbage can lids are bent. Painter missed several spots. Tile has different color gout in primary bath because they had to replace a tile. A hair line crack in a tile in primary bath. Hole in wall where the plumbing fixture drains. I could go on.

Pathetic service after closing. A total joke.

Three weeks ago it was reported by the construction manager that my gutter downspout diverter was not installed. He sent a message to have this issue address. As of this day it has not been resolved. The soil is being washed out from underneath my lanai and from underneath the sod. The sod looks fine until it is stepped on. I further reported that it is now unsafe. Someone can break an ankle or a leg and the potential for structural damage is not far off. I received a don’t worry the column is sunken. I want my new home repaired. NOW!! If Pulte wants a better review then take care of this.

I don’t think there is a better community than Sun City Texas but I sure wish Pulte was a better builder. There is no quality process as described on the Del Webb website. You have to be your own advocate and quality inspector. I suggest everyone in the build process get a good home inspector for the pre-drywall, final, and 11 month inspections. You will be amazed at what ends up on the inspection reports.

Home buying from the Salesman was outstanding. His follow up also outstanding. I wish i would looked at the electrical plan for my model. Pulte could have done a better job adding additional switches for lights . Example a second switch for outside garage lights

No regrets only looking forward to enjoying my home for years to come. Could not be happier.
