Del Webb Reviews

Getting the home was great but Getting a home whit lots of problems was a disappointment. Roof tile, roof vents not there. A kid could have painted the house better. Missing window. Holes in AC vent pipes. And many more things.

I was disappointed that it seems that after the trades have completed the task that their supervisors are not checking quality and functionality. Things like doors that do not close property (screen door), doors that did not lock, (like the screen and sliders), the a/c did not blow cold air, and initially when writing Warrantee Jax about it I received no response. If it was not for Ben from Pulti stepping in I am unsure it would have been completed.

Trades sometimes uncoordinated....trades left to put cutouts in places they don't belong.

Timely benchmarks, sales people friendly, informative. Due to covid lots of items backordered.

Having a great building superintendent & sales person made the building process much easier

Salesperson was responsive. Too many subcontractors that we do not even know. It would be better if a list is given at the beginning.

Don’t trust anything they tell you and check the process of building as often as possible. Their subcontractors are lackadaisical and exhibit very poor workmanship and concern about your new home. Quality is substandard for the prices you pay.

Our lifestyle Director is vibrant. She keeps us busy in ways to get to know our neighbors.

Appliances were poor quality. They broke down very early. Wallboard seams and corners were not done very well. Building expansion and contraction with the seasons caused cracks to appear all thru the condo building. Overall I woould rate the construction and material quality below agerage.

The quality of work by the finishing trades left much to be desired. They were careless damaging walls, sheet rocking over electrical boxes and water feeds. Insulation was missing and had to be redone. People didn’t show up when they were supposed to. Tile work in both bathrooms had to be ripped out and replaced delaying closing. Not at all what we expected. Our closing was delayed 2 months costing us thousands of dollars in rent and storage fees. We have built other homes and did not have the stressful experience we had here.

My field manager resigned a few days before my closing . Major issues like installing my sliding glass door was left till right before my closing. I left to go to my closing with many unresolved issues. My sod was dried up . My outside shutters still are not on and my shower glass was installed after the closing . My dishwasher was installed 2 week after the closing My shelf in the closet collapsed the day I moved in and the bracket hit the drywall and left a hole in it .The new assigned field manager took care of the closet disaster and hooked up my dryer so I could use it He did the best he could under the circumstances . I still have not received my trim package on my microwave and my front yard has a sick looking magnolia tree . I am discouraged and disappointed one month after moving in to my Pulte home ... More

Very poor at returning phone calls; acknowledging emails. Pulte Mortgage requires a complete do-over. No sense of customer service. In the end, I gave up a $7,000 bonus just to *escape* and move to a different lender.

Too many issues for the money. Sad.

We notified our project manager Steve of issues with our kitchen cabinets during walkthrough, at move in and after move in. Still has not been repaired. Almost 90 days later we finally have an appointment for repair after far too many emails and phone calls. There was non communication through the process - finally got the Customer Service Manager to assist. Thanks Tatiania! Still had to wait another 3 weeks to get an escalated schedule. Week 7 our microwave started spewing smoke, a board had burnt up. We called Customer Service who redirected us to Whirlpool warranty. Their safety team told us to shut off the circuit breaker as it was unsafe to use. There are no repair parts. The Pulte project manager said he would contact their Whirlpool Representative to see if he could assist in providing options. Crickets! The owner of the appliance repair company indicated if/when we got a new board it could burn up too. No guarantees. After a month of waiting, the safety concerns and no answers in sight we purchased a replacement, Now we have to wait 2-4 weeks for Whirlpool to pick up the old one and provide a refund check. Have a minor floor board issue. Have to wait a month to get that addressed. It is frustrating to see all these same service people driving around in our neighborhood doing new installations and prior buyers have to wait so long. We were so excited to purchase and move in to this community. The lack of communication and delays in repair have been very disappointing. Fixes are to be expected...just be aware of what to expect....or not. ... More

Poor quality materials and workmanship.

Very good experience with my home purchase at Del Webb Orlando. From signing contract to design to final walk through was seamless and a good experience.

Very responsible and responsive to our needs. Quality materials, Love the amenities that are included.

It is extremely difficult to get any follow-up on items that are on backorder or that were promised to be fixed at thirty days after close. Seems to be a consistent problem with many new home owners.

The home sales both Lynn and Bobby and the other representatives are great at making things happen and the unity that is apparent between Sales and Builder is very much a real plus in getting over unforeseen circumstances that arise.

I was able to create a home in a community I love

The quality of the build is not great. The paint used on the walls are sub par.

These guys are tops. Certainly professional and a "no question is a stupid question" attitude. Very patient and helpful. I might be naive - but seem trustworthy and deserving of respect.

Having Michael as the project manager was a blessing.

Buyer beware would cover it

We love our home. The materials used were good quality but the attention to details is not what I expected from Del Webb. There is a lack of communication and follow through from our project manager. The community construction manager was professional and always handled issues when he was contacted. We closed on our home well over a month ago and are still waiting to be contcted for our 30 day walk. Overall, this is our home and we are glad to be here.
