Del Webb Reviews

I should have taken pictures during my pre-drywall walkthrough. Would have been helpful to document how my home was wired. Throughout my life, (aside from Del Webb) I’ve experienced four new home builders—after each I’d promise myself ‘never again!’ But Del Webb was uniquely different, except for a lack of full disclosure on the part of sales/agent, this build process was an improvement!!

This is the 3rd Del Webb home we have purchased. We previously bought in Sun City Tx, and Frisco Lakes. The walk-through was the worst we have experienced. Building materials were left in the home, trash in the garage and lanai. We were promised power-washing before moving in in these areas but it never happened. We are still trying to figure various features of the home which were not explained to us.

Finishings are bad for the price paid. Landscaping is terrible, grass is uneven and already tripped twice on the backyard . The garage finishing is absolutely the worse I ever had. Not happy at all .

We love the home and the neighborhood. However, we had multiple issues with the quality of the workmanship. We have paint splotches on the tile, a stain in the tub, and one outlet that has never been fixed. It was also the worst landscaping we have ever had. They didn't grade the lot or try to feather the sod.

Our Sales Person (Lisa) was very helpful doing the process and kept us informed by phone and with pictures.

The quality is somewhat disappointing.

Everything above base price is an option. One selling agent better than others. Once you move in, you transition to their work order program which doesnt work well and many delays. Make sure you list Everything possible on final walk thru and be very specific! Be prepared to clean your house before moving in. One Supt. much better than others also.

Be ready for delays and unfinished house at completion

Make sure your architect review your home plan ,it was not a very thoughtfully user’s friendly

The house is good but would never use the mortgage company. Use another mortgage company and safe yourself a world of headache and frustration.

Slow response to take care of punch list items after closing.

Minimum communication from the time we put down our deposit until the time we moved in. The finish work on the home was terrible. A door was installed backwards, paint specs all over, caulking incomplete on this floors. Most of the topsoil in our front yard was washed away and not replaced and then they installed the grass. The lawn is lumpy and I'm afraid someone's going to twist their ankle on it. We had to give up a small portion of our yard because they improperly graded it. Then they built a retaining wall which cuts off part of our yard. Also we had brochure showing our brick color and the brick on the house is not even close to what was shown. If we had to do it over again we would buy a pre-owned home tear out the inside and get it like we want. Sun City is great though. We do have someone assigned to us to help fix all our problems and he's doing an excellent job. ... More

Matt answered his phone immediately.

Get a real estate agent to handle communication with Pulte. Responsiveness needs improvement.

We had more punch list items with this new home than the previous ones we have purchased. I feel that their quality checks probably suffered from all the COVID delays, which caused them to try to rush things once opened back up. At the end of the day we love the home, but still have several issues that need to be resolved by multiple contractors.

Quality is only as good as you let Pulte get away with. You must stay on top on construction and fix issues as they occur. Responsive to complaints but almost 2 months in the house still getting repairs done. Quality should be built into house not repaired after.

Robert was great in keeping me updated and explained in detail the features of the house.

In my personal experience this company have a lot room for improvement..

I was very excited to own a quality built Pulte home,but Pulte did not deliver. I would recommend getting an independent inspector before closing. The quality control was poor. The list of issues was given to the project manager one week before closing but did not get completed before closing. They have assured me they will fix all the problems when I return to Florida in the fall. I would like this to end up being a great experience.

Overall design and structure of the house is excellent quality, and neighborhood is well thought out. Project managers are very helpful and courteous, but were very overloaded at the time of closing with number of houses assigned. After we closed on the house and moved in, found electrical wiring wrong to the wine cooler and destroyed the cooler and was not protected. We did get a new replacement. Could not get our new gas dryer to work, and after 3 weeks of going back and forth on where the problem was, the Samsung technician we called out identify we did not have a gas supply. Found the supply valve had a plastic protection insert that was not removed and blocked flow. The general contractor that installed the valve incorrectly was not on our list of people to call to resolve our problem. When we moved into the house, the cleanliness was below expectation for a high quality house, and there was excessive grout and dirt still embedded in our new floor tile. Several areas on the wall were damaged or not fully painted. We were missing towel racks that were not evident at time of walk through. ... More

The on-site managing engineer was dependable and very responsive. The quality of the workmanship was average at best. The options available for our townhouse are not clear and are confusing. We were disappointed by Pulte’s omissions/exclusions for our unit. There was a sense of “nickeling and diming” throughout the design process. We considered taking a small mortgage (for about 20% of the purchase price) and were very disappointed in the Pulte Mortgage people and the process. Ultimately, we terminated the application and paid cash for the townhouse. We bought a condo townhouse in Roseland years ago and had a good experience throughout the building and completion of our unit. This experience was our baseline for comparison to Pulte. ... More

It’s a very nice community! With new homes there are always issues and I feel they should address some of them sooner than eleven months!

The builder needs to take more time and making sure that the home is in good working order, before handing over to the homeowner. They need to hire more staff on the Job Sites to insure that this happens. We are now hiring an Inspector to make sure that this house has been built propertly .

Customer service person not reliable in following through with commitments.

We are snowbirds, so we were only there for two weeks at closing. There were a couple items not done at closing, including the dishwasher, and a few more items we discovered after closing. We were told by the construction manager these items would be completed soon and he would let us know when they were complete. After a month we contacted him and were told these items were now being handled by the warranty department. Another issue was with the front door. In our initial meeting withe the sales parson, we had selected an option for a door with glass inserts. When we signed the final contract, that option was missing and we didn't catch it. When we came for closing and discovered this, we were told that Pulte wouldn't change it because it was correct per the contract. We are willing to pay the option price for the door, but we just wanted Pulte to get the work done. So, overall the experience has been a little frustrating. ... More
