Del Webb Reviews

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.

you get zero paint options zero lighting options and zero options in a closet that reflect any type of quality to a homeowner. Not a home for 55 plus due to transition in every room due to lack of skilled workers. Very disappointing

Poor communication, poor follow thru

Been in our home for 2 months, and there are still issues!!!

The quality of craftsmanship was poor. Very frustrating to have to continue to get things fixed that were just lack of detail. Pressure to complete homes creates poor quality work. I know construction isn't perfect but I feel the quality is below par

Dishwasher stopped draining - into week 2 of waiting. Refrigerator works -no water coming out again - stove connect to gas has leak, no help yesterday waiting again today

The overall quality and craftsmanship is not there for the value that we paid. Terrible responsiveness to issues throughout the build and after we moved in. Still have not been reached out to regarding numerous warranty issues that I sent in and we closed on Jan. 26, 2024.

I asked regularly for workmen to take their time and do things right. I was obviously not listened to-rush rush. Incomplete, wrong, crooked etc etc etc

Overall the house is OK, lots of issues yet to be addressed. Wish they would handle punch list issues within a set time frame, like 30-60 days after closing. I like the neighborhood and the amenities but the inside finishes do not align with the cost of the house.

The finish work was probably the worst I have experienced. They didn't finish the items prior to closing. Doors are damaged, stove burner doesn't work, dishwasher had problems etc. There are several items not completed and it is a nightmare trying to get them back in.

Lots of defects, quality issues. Very disappointed.

DelWebb is a great community. Unfortunately we had a horrible experience with the build. There were so many major issues found after closing 1 month in and not complete. We've been told they are minor. (Not acceptable when we have dust and debris in our home.)Pulte dropped the ball when hiring sub par contractors or whoever they hire. Lesson learned.

The garage door is very poor quality. You have to wait 1 year to get many things repaired. My roof has many issues and after 4 professional inspectors the work still has not been completed.

It is easy to request something to be done, but getting someone to do then is another thing. I have been waiting for my baseboards that got soaked to be put on and still waiting! Electrician was to come out today NO SHOW!no response when called.

We have walls that are totally out of plumb. Some outlets are crooked and there are cracks in the crown.

Oversight of construction is minimal. Poor quality. Production homes that are constructed too quickly. High price for low quality materials.

Closed on Feb 8. Water leak Feb 9. Mold in master bathroom. It’s April 8 and repairs are still not complete. Trades do shoddy work. So much has to be repaired. 30 day repairs have not started yet. This is my second Pulte new build and I’ll never use them again. Trades do not show up as scheduled and if they do they have no idea what they are suppose to do.

Unfortunately homebuying experience was the best part, downhill after that

Chris is suppose to have repairs made to electrical, they were taken care of. the lawn people broke the clean out, Chris daid he would take care of it been about 2 weeks now no response. Chris was suppose to have trim person and painter take care of an issue on laudry room dor jam, no response in about 2 weeks. I can't recommend Del Webb due to no timely response. These issues were brought up around june 5th, how ever I had to return to Alabama to finish my move here. Texted Chris on June 15th that I was back at the home. Also turned in infomation on line about repairs.

Blown away by the lack of respect from one trade to the other. They come to fix a problem and create another one. Our superintendent went silent on us. If he spend more time addressing issues and less time begging for good surveys we would have been able to write a good survey response. Very poor workmanship throughout. Great community though.

For the price paid over ($500,000.00)for this home the quality of the cabinets would be better then entry level/cheap builder quality. We were led to believe these were upgraded cabinets (grade 5). The finish work looks like it was done by amateurs. The woodwork is not nailed properly to the walls, and they tried to hide it with caulking which is already separating from the walls leaving a lot of gaps. Walls with bow's in them. The painters didn't bother to clean off joint compound from the woodwork before painting. Paint drips and smears on rugs, tile and countertops left to harden. Painters using dirty brushes leaving crud on the walls and woodwork. On the bathroom counter adhesive droppings just wiped off not cleaned properly. The lawn was not graded properly and sod just laid down without rolling it flat. I hope you get the picture. ... More

Did not follow through

Many finishes were incomplete like having cabinet flooring under the sinks, unfinished details, ie., areas left unpainted, laundry room should whave cabinetry, for the costs. Responsive to issues is slow to incomplete. I did have wonderful luck when I reached out to Tim. He got my broken dryer fixed within a day while the people I was directed to have not responded. Issues are small but te cracked gliding window still remains broken with no one getting back to me.

My husband and I have had approximately 13 homes in the last 18 or 20 years and at least five of them were spec homes that were brand new by reputable builders. We’ve had many issues beyond anything I’ve experienced with this new house in DelWebb NMB. There was no hot water in the kitchen and the faucet was not working properly. It took about two weeks of multiple phone calls and emails to get a new faucet. There’s a broken door going into the den. There was multiple sloppy workmanship and paint and trim, i’m still waiting for the range hood to be replaced that was defective since the day we moved in. We are now in the house almost 3 months. There was also a major problem with the sprinkler system. It took a couple weeks finally to get them to come and look at it, and the workers were very nice and found that the system is broken and the water was squirting right into the front door and into the back porch. We commented on our walk-through before we close that they were defects in the counters in both bathrooms and it took over a month to have someone come and look at it from the counter company and they decided they had to be replaced. Multiple times we set up appointments for them to replace the counters and the company workers did not show up. One time they lied to my project manager and said I wasn’t home and I was home waiting for them. The project manager tries to get vendors to fix things, and they continually do not show up while we wait at home all day, it would be nice if the project manager was more responsive and answering calls and emails and maybe once in a while stopping in to see how a new homeowner is doing on a face-to-face manor. There are approximately 20 homes that have been closed on in the neighborhood and we are all getting pretty friendly with each other and everyone is saying the same thing that the workmanship and quality is very very poor people have problems with their bathrooms, their air conditioner, their windows, mistakes, wrong toilets, wrong shower doors, the subcontractors are not properly supervised and there seems to be no quality control. I was going to recommend this neighborhood to many of my friends and now I’m not so sure because of the quality of the building. My home was $525,000. I feel for that price they should’ve been more quality control. Hopefully the responses to the survey will help you improve the building quality of these houses. They are very pretty and they are in a good location and I think the community is going to be very charming. But people are spending a lot of money and it’s very frustrating Having to wait day after day, week after week to get responses back from project managers and then wait for vendors to come and then they don’t show. ...
