Del Webb Reviews

Finishes were not to the quality I expected. Some of your vendors/ contractors were not very responsive to issues at all.

No system in place to advise new owners of contraction Schelds within ear radar of alarming noise and the early time! I understand that lots must be built on, but lack of communication is stressful for me looking forwarded to moving into a relaxing, retirement area as advertised.

I think Pulte did a fair job and missed a lot of easy opportunities to build a great home and engender goodwill with this customer. My perspective is likely skewed as my last new home purchase and build was 30 years ago, and for a much larger home at less than half the cost of this home. I don't feel the contractors hired by Pulte were striving for excellence in any way, shape, or form. I don't feel the Pulte construction manager had much experience and talked a good story but at the end of the day was not straightforward with the customer. In fact, I think he outright lied to me. For the price point these homes are thrown together and cheap. I'm not even convinced that they meet code. Especially hurricane or wind code requirements. Time and the first hurricane will tell the story. On the warranty side things are a little better but most of the warranty issues, in my opinion, were created by sloppy and shoddy workmanship, and the construction manager not understanding what was needed or asked for. ...

I bought a yard of dead sod at closing. I was reassured the sod would be replaced by Pulte Hones. This has not happened and is unacceptable.

Interior decorator great during appointment but VERY unresponsive afterwards. She was done with us! Sales person generally good although took awhile for replies. First construction manager was outstanding! The second, that took us to house completion was very unresponsive and did not follow through. Landscaping quality disappointing. So far warranty department has been responsive, although it’s only been a month.

My Home Buying Experience was pleasant! I have been in my home for approximately 60 days and have enjoyed the experiences. The community is delightful. However, the HOA experience not so. I am very concerned about getting satisfactory responses for reported Service Requests.

Workmanship and work quality is terrible.

House is OK. Not what I really wanted, but it will do.

Blue responded to all my question and concerns immediately. My issues were with Paul in sales. Once I signed the purchase agreement and paid my downpayment he ghosted me. He misinformed me on several options and I am still waiting for a refund on a grab bar that was nor installed as it could not be installed where Paul said it could be. I have reached out to him twice now on what the status of that refund is and as usual have not heard a word back. I reached out to the head of sales here at sun city, Mesquite a couple of days ago and have not heard back form him yet as well.

Pulte people made our home buying experience miserable. Total lack of communication and follow through. We showed up to our scheduled walk through with the house a mess and no one there. We later learned that the walk through and closing had been pushed back and we were not notified. We came in from out of state and were paying for a hotel room to accommodate the date and time we were given (we even confirmed the appointment time prior to the walk through). My wife had to make a big fuss to get our walk thru done and keep our closing on the original date. We had to fight for things that we paid for and had to pull out paperwork and contact the design center to prove we were correct. Despite documented lack of follow through and responsiveness, we were demonized and made to feel like problem causers. Kudos to Daryl for being the only person we have been able to rely on. More than a month after closing, issues are being addressed that should have been done prior to closing. What should have been a happy experience was ruined by Pulte employees who apparently think that ignoring and not communicating with homebuyers is okay. ... More

Sub-par workmanship and lack of attention to detail in multiple phases of the build process. They're building too many, too fast, given the amount of supervision they have and with their (obviously) limited access to workers who are skilled.

Very dirty home. Absolutely no care taken in delivering a clean home. Silicone and stains on tile floors. Carpets were extremely loaded with dust and saw dust.

As of right now, I am a very unhappy buyer. I have an issue with the water sprinkler system getting a bill that’s way too high and I was only here for two weeks. Already got a call from the water company that can be almost impossible telling me I use 52,000 gallons of water but it seems to be no concern to anyone involved in my issues I am shutting off my sprinkler system. The sprinkler system keeps leaking so I don’t know who to get in touch with. I’ve tried so many people but nobody returning my calls or emails I had somebody say they’re looking into it I haven’t had anybody come to my house or anything to get this problem fixed so I’m gonna get my first water bill. Phil living here for over two weeks I’m gonna get maybe a 500 and something dollar bill for using 52,000 gallons of water that’s almost impossible so I need somebody to take care of this problem take charge. Let me know what I have to do because my bill is coming soon and I need my issue fixed. I do have a warranty so let’s get somebody over here to fix it and let me know what the problem might betill then, I am very unhappy and I will still write comments in the Stone Creek community paper ...

The home is decent, and we do not regret the purchase. However, the customer care manager has been abysmal. The house does have issues that warrant addressing; paying 400k for a new house and the dishwasher break, large cracks in cabinets, and sinks not working within the first month is not pleasant -- but the lack of care from the customer care manager is truly disappointing. There is a clear feeling that they do not want to deal with us now that the money has been paid. This is disappointing, to say the least. With all that said, the house overall is pretty good, as are the community amenities. ... More

Poor quality finish on walls and cabinets, scratches on cabinets, told the were on order to replace, have not heard back. Walls poor finish with paint! Scheduled a meeting for warranty and took afternoon meeting and no one showed up or called saying they were delayed. Not happy!

My how things have changed for the worse. A Del Webb home is no different from any of their other divisions or their competitors. The overall quality of our home is borderline atrocious. Mounding isn’t properly cut and fitted, tile work is slightly better. Wall texture is totally inconsistent. No amount of caulking, which is improperly used everywhere helps. Landscaping is as poor of quantity as one can get away with. Everyone who works for this builder has a lane, and in it they stay. Nothing with this build happened on time. And excuses flowed frequently for every imaginable issue. So far our del Webb experience leaves a lot to be desired. And I’m pretty sure I am not alone with these sentiments. ... More

Contractor response for warranty issues brought up with Pulty are poor

Not the same quality as the Pulte Home I bought back in 2010. Shame that profit comes before quality and pride

I will only say that it's been an experience. I'm thankful that we were able to close when we did and hopeful for the future of our development.

Bridgette our salesperson was the bright spot in this process .

The sales person was great during the home buying experience. After the sale was complete, not so much. Homes have warranty coverage and a system to post requests. They go unanswered.

Just a huge money grab. Price and value are out of sync. Plastic plumbing fixtures?

I feel the quality of the finished product is less than the ideal presented in the sales office. Lots of little issues left to be taken care of. I believe this is due to the number of homes the construction manager, who did his best, has to handle. Also, very few union people on the job which is reflected in the issues. All that being said, we are in the house and enjoying it and the neighborhood. IMO many of the issues that arose during construction could have been avoided if the construction manager had fewer homes to manage.

The company needs to follow up on claims and try to improve quality of home by reviewing the comments and seeing if they are achievable to make a home flow better. They appear to want quantity not quality!

We have numerous items that remain unresolved from our walk through and punch list. Several are significant. We have not heard back on any of them. We closed June 22. Over a month ago. We have also submitted other issues through the warranty process and none of them have been resolved. No communication. Nothing fixed.
