Del Webb Reviews

Once I closed on my home, repair requests go through the Warrenty program. I have taken time off work just to have vendors not show up or require multiple visits to finish a repair. There is poor communication and almost no follow up unless I escalate. Good luck with the Warrenty work. As for workmanship, the painters and cleaning crew are sloppy. I repeatedly asked for light switch and sockets covers to NOT be painted to the wall. They are.

We are one of the very first homes to complete in this community. As such we are dealing with some issues as the bugs are worked out of the build process. While Pulte/Del Webb build 100's of homes a year, and this community is experiencing great sales, it was disappointing that processes in place have not been followed to merit higher ratings. If you are a smart shopper, you'll pay only to upgrade items in the design center that are too expensive to remove and replace after moving in. The markup on design upgrades for many finishes is insultingly high. When you can demolish brand new materials and replace them even at fairly high big box home improvement store rates than pay the upgrade fee at the design center, the mark up merits review. ... More

Sales Rep. (Taylor) was excellent. Mortgage Process Team was excellent. However, the construction team over promised and under delivered.

Generally happy. Had trouble with Pulte Mortage, getting Pulte to supply Tesla Solar docs and still not turned on after 3 weeks. Sub standard bath fixtures and Whirlpool really cheap.

We had a good experience with this purchase. However, much of the workmanship and design is contractor grade. We had to spend more than we expected to bring the quality up to designer home category.

Small problems (two doors don't latch), but the house is lovely. Del Webb has a great interior design center.

Consider that you will need to invest a substantial amount in options/upgrades.

When our PM was taking care of problems things were handled very well. He is excellent. When we switched over the communications slowed down. I have three issues pending right now that I still have not heard when they will get fixed. To be fair one just happened Saturday. All of our smoke alarms went off and would not reset. It’s very noisy in here when that happens. Must be a wiring issues .

We bought the same model we lived in TN. Loved the size. Not too small and not too big

I closed on my new home at Del Web Sun City in Buckeye AZ in July; but have not moved in yet. I plan to move in at the end of September. At the final walk through I was very happy with the final product. My Construction manager was excellent and did a great job. I found the Design Center staff to be very unprofessional and non-responsive to errors they made in documenting my choices and was forced to live with their errors. Some of the material choices where not current as far as technology, ie Can Lights and Controls; window material vinyl versus wood or fiberglass.

Overall very happy with home and neighborhood. However, disappointed with quality of finish work and attention to detail (i.e., paint, woodwork is not up to "new house" standards).

My dryer vent caught on fire because the 220 plug was not properly wired. I had a natural gas leak outside between the meter and house due to incorrect parts and poor workmanship. While working on the house next door a subcontractor damaged my soffit and stucco. They just started a house on the other side, stay tuned. Justin has been a great help but he is not Superman!

The Pulte BOD has not taken a position to maximize safety for the community. The safest approach is to OPEN UP THE RESORT CENTER so that residents do not have to spend extra money and go out into the community for swimming, exercise equipment, pickle ball, etc. Those who are staying at home to avoid all exposure would not be threatened at all by having the amenities open. Appears BOD is only concerned about their potential liability not the health and well being of the residents. We purchased at Del Webb for the Resort Center and now we have to spend more money and travel to replace those services. Would not have bought if we had known the BOD had no understanding or concern for the well being of the residents of HCR. ... More

We have had some issues with a water leak since we moved in 2 months ago and they continue. I have followed the process and reported the issue but the response to repair the leak has not been what I had expected. Granted there is new construction happening and the crews may be busy with that but I think after 2 months this should been corrected. The structure itself is fine with very minor issues and we are happy with our location and house size. I just hope this is not an indication of how "warranty issues" will be addressed since we felt that was an important part of our purchase decision.

The house is well made and asthetically pleasing. There are a few follow up issues that are under warranty that have been addressed but have not been fixed. Timeliness and follow up on maintenance issues is essential to ensure customer service and satisfaction.

Most of the upgrade options are worth the money.

In general we had a good experience. The only issue is that they do not have the ability to do any custom details beyond their normal options.

field managers should pay more attention during the construction period

The house is build very fast, their schedule for building the house is excellent. You almost can program your move in.

happy with home. neighbors are great. mowing crew needs some guidance

The real base price includes the cost of the lot which is NOT included in the advertised price. We are still very satisfied with our purchase. After taking ownership of our home, it takes too long for vendors to come back and fix what is broken.

We are very pleased with our home, however we were here during the last 3 months of the construction. I can’t even begin to tell you what slobs your workers are. I wouldn’t want to buy a home that I wasn’t there to make sure there weren’t pop cans/bottles in the walls because no one cares enough to move them. They even stapled a water bottle to a stud so it would be in the wall. Our site supervisor did a good job of catching things, but they can’t be there all the time. Despite all that, we are pleased with the end product and are enjoying our new home. Except for the subs working next door that throw their trash in our newly landscaped yard just for fun. ... More

Because of Covid-19 restrictions, we were not able to visit our home during the build. We first saw it on the final walkthrough. The shower border had been missed by all involved in that process. It was a key design feature of our home, so we did ask that it be added after closing. A couple crucial mistakes were made in the first redo, one which was corrected and one that could not be. There are multiple ridges in the grout where new grout was put over a bad initial grouting. Had more border tile been obtained at that time or even now, that could be corrected, but we were told it was not easy to get. There was not even one extra pebble of tile. A couple "I'm sorries, and that is the best we can do" do not make me feel better about how our $5,000 shower looks. My advice is that if you cannot be present frequently during the build, give a copy of your final change order to a close friend or family to stay on top of every part of the building process. Do not assume that what you ordered and have in writing will necessarily happen. We learned the hard way, and I have no sense this will ever be resolved to my satisfaction. ... More

Framing materials inferior to other homes by other national builders. Options not fully explained or offered. Missing some of selected options at closing.

The number of floor plans are great. However I would say the basic level of home is below standard. Everything is an upgrade. Also we found quickly by accident the wood trim is not really wood, so we were disappointed there. What you are getting is the environment in the Del Webb community. Unfortunately with the virus we ave not yet been able to enjoy that yet. I also had to give only average marks for responsiveness as with the virus our list of initial issues have not yet been addressed ... and every house has them. All that being said it is turning out to be a beautiful home and we are enjoying it. ... More
