Del Webb Reviews

Yes I would recommend Del Webb to others

Worst experience I've had with any company or organization. They stopped working on my house for three weeks with no valid explanation while work was being done on other houses near mine. No flexibility with scheduling. Del Webb's attitude seems to be "my way or the highway." Anyone moving into a Del Webb community should consider buying an existing house.

I enjoyed working with the entire team at Pulte. Although the home was delayed, the final home was beautiful; worth the wait. Ed and Adam helped through some rough spots and delivered the home I wanted.

Our sales representative was great and helped tremendously. Our project manager was average at best and lacked construction experience but his supervisor and the warranty team stepped up. Would I buy again the answer is yes!

1. The field managers have no experience nor the knowledge to carry out their responsibilities. 2. We have had many defects in our home caused by the sub-contractors who took advantage of the field managers lack of knowledge & experience. 3. The warranty which Pulte utilizes to repair all defects & workmanship is not worth the paper it's written on. 4. All of my statements that I have mentioned above is not from a personal view, I have pictures of all the bad workmanship along with the emails advising Pulte of all the unnecessary issues I have experienced. With that said, the same field managers are still representing Pulte with the same mind set that they had in building our home. I would not recommend to anyone purchasing a Pulte home because everything I have experienced is status quo. ... More

The sales team will tell any lie to make the sale. They refuse to put anything into writing. I paid extra to have them put the refrigerator in at closing. At closing they said it will be delayed a week or two. Now they are saying 3 months this for a refrigerator that is locally available and can be delivered in 3 days but they refuse to refund the money. Windows are so cheap that every windy day sand blows in through windows.

Downsizing after 35 years in your home is a complicated process but the sales and construction field staff made our move to a Del Webb community a positive experience. Thank you Siobhan, Josh & Zach

The hvac system had issues with the heat and after they fixed that the air conditioner didn’t work now it is just noisy. The drywall and painting team has been in to fix several places and then paint. The landscaper did a poor job in the back yard.

Our builder David was always helpful to answer any questions or concerns we had and kept us informed on the building process

Dana F. was our project manager, he was great! Very professional and knowledgeable. The house had damage to it before we moved in but it was pretty close to perfect by the time we moved in, I thank Dana for that. All in all in todays environment wasn't a totally bad experience.

From beginning to move in I was kept informed and very satisfied.

Building a house during a pandemic & supply chain issues presents a unique set of challenges, but there is no excuse for lack of communication. Pulte started more homes than they could handle. Crews get paid by the job so they rush from one house aka job to the next. Needless to say, there’s a lot of sloppy work. Our home took about 5-6 months longer than others started at the same time. The cabinet company used is horrible. After 1 month we are still trying to get issues addressed that would take a handyman a few hours. Workers just don’t show up. And we are doing a lot better than others around here. My best advice is to hire an independent inspector before you close. ... More

Our sales manager Mike was fantastic from the beginning and made us feel very welcome, our field manager communicated with us almost weekly every step of the way and because we were seven hours away, we were unable to see the process unfold, it was nice having the communication from start to finish, an extraordinary experience!

Not transparent. Discovered that other alternatives were possible and I was driven to conclusions that were not optimal.

Pulte has nice floorplans and offer some very nice features with the houses that they sell however, the quality of Much of the work is subpar and very disappointing. For one example, three weeks after moving into my house (I moved in on April 4 ) I noticed water damage at the base of my kitchen island. I suspected it was the dishwasher leaking and immediately discontinued using it. The following Monday morning, I reported it to Pulte’s Customer service line (two weeks ago) and have since sent them three emails explaining the situation. Last week, when I phoned the customer service office, I was instructed that the emails were passed onto the customer service manager for my district, Jeff, but I have not gotten a single communication from Jeff. I have been washing dishes by hand for two weeks and nobody at Pulte cares a thing about it. The only communication I have received about the situation, which did not come from Jeff, is that Pulte doesn’t install dishwashers so it is whirlpool’s problem. Well, Pulte may not install dishwashers but due to special circumstances, they did install this dishwasher on the morning of my walk-through. They didn’t even bolt the dishwasher to the frame. After moving in, before I could use the DW, the building supervisor’s assistant, Kyle, had to come over here and bolt it down. This is Pulte’s mess that they refuse to acknowledge. This is the first time in 40 years that I have had to wash dishes every day by hand. Pulte has set me back a half a century! In addition, I have electrical problems in my ceiling lights and in my living room outlet. I have weatherstripping on my garage door that is coming apart. Pulte has been aware of these problems for two weeks and has not responded. Oak craft did finally come through with the missing cabinet door but that is the only satisfaction that I have received since moving into this house. Shame shame shame on Pulte! ... More

I don't have any complaints on the building and purchasing process. While moving in, there is a requirement for movers which cost me little more. Except that, I have good community, quite life. I'm satisfied.

We received our home in great condition

Because we have a punch list still in progress I was reluctant to complete the survey. My responses are therefore hedged a bit. Still amazed that drawer and cabinet pulls were not included, nor were ceiling fans. Ultimate resolution of our punch list will determine the final quality and value answers.

It was five days short of a year from buying the house to closing on the house. Supply problems worker shortages and other factors all contributed to the problem. Pulte did a good job considering all these externalities and it would be hard to have expected a perfect experience. We’re glad to be in our new house and look forward to living here a long time.

Overall given the labor and supply shortages we are satisfied with our home. One big issue we have is from when they did stucco for the home except for the area around the sliding glass door and kitchen window because those windows were delayed and they wanted to move forward with construction. We were concerned if the stucco around the missing areas would blend if it was done later. We were assured it would and you wouldn't see a difference. That is not the case you can easily see the difference and even though they tried to work on it after it is still very noticeable that the stucco around the SGD does not match the rest of the wall on the back. Frustrating and disappointing because we paid a lot of money for a new home so it would look new and not like something had been repaired and didn't match. On a positive note, our Construction Mgr. communicated with us throughout the entire process and always answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We have built several homes and he was one of the best CMs we had. ... More

We are impressed by the Quality of the construction of home. Vincent & Mike kept up us up to date on building process in these 10 months & completion came in on time. For the small details not completed Ashleigh has done a great job with tracking down tradesmen to complete. Very happy with new home. Although the price was higher than we anticipated we recognize that this is the Florida market at this point.

Jake was available and did professional walk thru. All defects were corrected in a timely manner.

The sales process is very deceptive. When you choose a particular package you are not sure what it would look like without the package. All the models are so highly upgraded that you can’t see what your home will look like without the options. Especially with the kitchen package options. This area needs improvement! The workmanship is shoddy. They go through and manufactured homes so quickly that they don’t take pride in their work.

The building experience was pleasant, however after the walk thru seems like we were just pushed to the wayside. No follow thru and very hard to get things corrected.

We are now happily living in our new home. Wish it hadn't taken over 6 months.
