Del Webb Reviews

The builder has low expectations and standards. Builder is focused on building fast and NOT on building a good quality production home, that is too bad , they have some Awesome floor plans. The trades are pushed to get things done FAST, so they are either unable or unqualified to do a good job. It has been over 30days since we completed our 30 day list of things to be fixed and the only response was we will schedule in the next month or two.

We are still left with lots of little repairs that need to be done and talking with our neighbors we are not alone.It would seem that with this building boom that’s going on in festival that selling and building fast has taken priority over doing a good job.

Most things went well however some problems were identified but not corrected. For example, the slab for the outside HVAC was marked to be moved 5 or 6 feet to the back to line up with connections coming out of the house. This was not done even though it was plainly marked in spray paint on the cinder block. Now thinks are off and the insulation tubing is cracked for most of the long connection from house to HVAC unit. Some sheet rock mudding was to be corrected but again not done. This one we told your people that we would correct ourselves. Should not have to do this on a half million dollar home. Feel free to pass my review on to potential buyers. Summary - we do like the house and in no way regret our buying decision. My wife gave up on the mudding but I am still unhappy with the HVAC sloppy work. ... More

Overall we are loving the neighbors and location. But, the quality of most things are not what we expected. From bad workmanship in garage doors, flooring, and other construction. Our microwave has been broken for over a month( only in the home for less than 60 days). Warranty work from both Pulti and appliance vendors is painfully slow to non responsive. We had heard from current residents about these issues, but did not think it could be as bad as we have experienced.

Our home is beautiful and well built. The service follow up is very poor. I have a toilet that is defective and has been waiting for replacement for over two months.

After closing date was scheduled there were several days of bad weather. Much of the final completion details were delayed but my builder insured me that he would see that all would be completed shortly after closing. However, I have had many task yet to be completed and am having to go through warranty to get it done. Now the Covid-19 virus has delayed completion further.

more time to get thing right

Design is good. Accessory systems very thought out, real value. Lot size on the small side. Workmanship not very good.

Please be sure to thoroughly and completely check your home.

A typical new construction community. Great sales people and project managers who seem to care. But you need to be around to watch construction, because short cuts are definitely made with workers. And once the house is finished, good luck with trying to get issues resolved. Great lip service, but lots of time wasting and excuses.

There are no words to describe the pain and suffering that this company has caused our family. Don’t walk from the sales center RUN as fast as you possibly can.

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.

scratch on microwave door, flooring grout with drywall dust everywhere, hallway bathroom tub with crack, missing tile grout, black markings above drain and shower tile grout is leeching, back patio ceiling speaker at wrong location, front door threshold sweep with gaps, no interior paints touchup kit provided, missing hallway bathroom towel ring, scratched and rough finishes on upper wall cabinets in kitchen and laundry. The final walk was rushed.

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

Built quickly without attention to detail.

Our overall experience is unsatisfactory with the Pulte group. We have many defects that were reported at closing and promised to be completed within 30 days and we have never seen any personnel to date two months later. I would have to recommend anyone who plans on building here to give it serious second thoughts.

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. ...

I like many found that the home was not complete on closing. I struggled to even get sombody to respond. I was promissed all would be fixed. Nothing was fixed, infact after I moved in I found many more major faults. Master bedroom had no electrics for a week. They found dangerous wiring fault. No hot water, infact no water came out of hot faucet. No internet, they forgot to order it to be connected and then found out no underground conduit was installed to wire the system in. This system comes with the house price and HOA. As we have no cell phone tower internet is important. WE WERE LEFT IN A DANGEROUS POSSITION AS WE HAD NO CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD UNLESS WE DRIVE TO A CELL PHONE RECEPTION AREA 4 MILES AWAY. The landscape was half finished, the sod badly laid is mostly dead, no idea when or if that wil be sorted. Sliding doors hard to open, my wife cannot open them, badly installed and damaged, the framing has a 1/2 inch bow in the vertical. Floor tiles have many not fixed to floor correctly so are loose. Walls out of vertical by 3/4 of an inch in various places. Walls bowed buy up to an inch in varios places. Most interior doors stick shut at top or bottom or both, This is because the fromes the doors are in are badly fitted and bent. Damaged vanity unit in master bathroom. Bad stucco on most of outside . Block driveway has suncken for the third time. I can go on but this is just an example of the disgusting quality of home I was sold. I closed on 13 September 2022 it is now November and nothing realy sorted. Still they have my money so who cares, So be warned . ... More

Be sure you hire a private inspector for the framing, framing problem fix and blue tape inspections. My experience with Pulte is that they are not a quality builder. We have lived here over a month and multiple items still have not been fixed.

the materials and craftsmanship are sub par. too many to list

Project manager is assigned many houses under construction which takes away from the personalization that they should have with each new home built. When it comes to workmanship, there isn't any. Slam, Bam, lets get it done.

Once they close and transfer the title to you, they have no follow through on their own work that needs to be finished
