Del Webb Reviews

Communication should be more forthcoming

I moved in to my new home almost 8 weeks ago and only two items on the punch list have been addressed, and one of those has not been resolved. I honestly believe that Pulte is a good builder and that these are difficult times for them. There are shortages of supplies and good help, but homes are going up so quickly here that I would think that they should finish work on the homes that are built. I love the neighborhood. That was my main reason for moving here. I just hope that I am going to get these issues resolved at some point.

The lack of communication, the workmanship, the turmoil with the field & construction managers was inexcusable. We could not get firm answers on anything all the way til the closing. We had to hire our own home inspector because there were so many issues. Our inspector confirmed and found multiple discrepancies. A full report was submitted to the field & Construction Manager by our inspector. We had to have a Build Quality Celebration form with at least 15 items on it signed by Construction Manager on the day of closing although they promised to have these items repaired by closing date. A copy of the letter & inspection report was submitted to Pulte title company on day of closing. ... More

As a new homeowner I had a bad experience not because of supply issues, but I kept catching mistakes that were made. The quality of the windows is poor, They allow sand to leak into my home because they are not sealed well. They used the wrong grout on my floor. They promised to seal it but after I tested it I found out that they did not seal it. The island lights were not centered over the island. I was pressured to sign my closing check list showing everything was completed when it was not. Only one of the seven items were fixed before I moved in. All others I was told will have to come from the warranty department. I would probably not have Pulte build another home if I were to build another home. ... More

When you buy a brand new home, you expect brand new everything. Prior to closing a worker had tracked grease on the new carpet. There have been 3 attempts to clean it to no avail. Rather than having a new carpet, I have one that has been cleaned multiple times along with the associated fraying of the fibers that comes with cleaning.

Very very poor customer service

Lack of empathy for buyer during multiple delays of home being ready for move in. Do not get appliances through Pulte.You will pay double the price you can pay for identical item at Home Depot. Pulte use low quality quartz, low grade windows, etc.. Design Center is 2 hours away from New home community - thus very inconvenient.

Should not have closed on house til all things were done. Still waiting for glass in master shower. Two months, carpet installed improperly in master closet, kitchen hood still not finished. Woodwork and doors, door frames dings, dents, paint runs.

The delays in construction were excusable given the pandemic. The quality of construction is poor to awful. The service to fix problems is non existent. During the final inspection several problems were identified that are impossible to get fixed. The paint used in the house is of poor quality and the paint job is appalling. All upgrades make this new house livable but not worth the added cost. I would never recommend Del Webb construction to anyone.

Very happy with the home buying process. Great staff that was responsive to our needs. Love our new home and feel that it was built with quality- exceeded our expectations!

The project manager has been great o wok with. He is responsive to our requests and is always timely

All of our job supervisors were very good about keeping us informed on the progress of our new home.

We had a great field construction manager. However the trade people are predominately Hispanic piece workers with very little quality control. We are in our new home but it may take some time to get all the defects repaired.

Would appreciate more communication around work that still needs to be done.

Our expectations were that, upon being given a closing date, the house would be complete and clean—move in ready. It was not, on the closing date they were still installing items, other items did not get done, such as slider replaced (it is scratched), paint touch ups were not completed, (i.e. bathroom). The house looks beautiful but upon closer inspection, you can see that there is problems i.e. hood vent is crooked, and has hole in the wall. We were also not happy with the walk-thru, when the gentlemen spent so much time telling us how to clean the counter. The time were have been better spent, explaining how to turn on/off the new appliances. Looks like a rush to complete so many homes, need to spend more time on each home and have some supervision of the many crews who work on each home. ... More

My salesman was great. The woman from design center great. Then comes my field manager ok in the beginning but as soon as house closed fixed almost nothing from punch list. Not very responsive to texts. Now I have a new field manager who takes over after 30 days so we will see . He is at least responsive and has scheduled a couple of repairs. Hoping to get my hand held shower head soon . So will see how new manager does too early to give review on him .

Everything went well with me doing my experience buying my new home

I wish they had done a better job in using the site survey before they sold the home. the response on issues and back orders has been very underwhelming.

Despite your suggestion, I want to state that Jared Sampson was a terrific superintendent. He went beyond the call of duty to respond to my issues. I can’t say the same for the HOS group in the Canopy. “To save money, we only buy name tags quarterly.” Isn’t their key role to make homeowners feel welcome? “We haven’t ordered the stickers for golf carts yet.” What’s the wait? About went crazy…told me my mailbox was by the sales office. Nope, it was on Timber Light Trail. Their suggestion was to stand in line at the post office. When I left a note, the post person helped me figure out the issue. Oh well, it’s my time not theirs. Still haven’t figured out how to get monthly direct pay for my HOS fees after numerous emails. ... More

The management company is non responsive The windows are inferior The heating system doesn’t heat entire first floor $million for a maybe $five hundred thousand house Would not do again

The community is full of exceptionally friendly people. I would strongly urge hiring a qualified inspector for predrywall & celebration walk thrus (if you’re given ample notice of these dates). My experience has been one of shock at the sloppy workmanship and the lack of follow thru on basic items. Also make sure what you ordered is actually in the house

Everyone that I worked with, very professional, good knowledge of their product and customer service was excellent, including agents, construction and settlement. I ham very happy with my beautiful new home

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.

It was all about the sales cycle. The quality of installed products was good and bad, and follow-up service is terrible. As an example, it's been 5 weeks since we asked to get our quartz counters (which are a mess) looked at. They don't even respond to requests half the time and once they hand a ticket off to a contractor the Pulte support team help ends there. Zero followup.

Do NOT work with Pulte ever!
