Del Webb Reviews

Very nice model homes, attention to detail a bit lacking when interior thrown together while rushing to complete on 3 week delayed closing date

Salesperson was great. Field manager responsive but the team behind the field manager failed to delivered. Our friends who built at same time in Stone Creek had a much better experience so maybe it is the Bexley team that leaves much to be desired.

finishing was horrible poor workmanship

Builder intently wanted to close on time, promised a concession on a damaged garage floor, gave an estimate for reimbursement of repair and promised repair the next week. Promised repair to "make invisible" damaged quartz countertop. Over a month later, still waiting on garage floor concession and the amount has magically dropped. Builder cannot repair countertop satisfactorily and refuses to replace it. This is all our fault because we trusted them.

I purchased my house move-in ready. What I didn't realize is how they cut corners on homes. Every house they build should have hurricane windows. Hurricane windows should be mandatory in new construction. The lawn/sod they use is horrible. I have holes that you can't see until I keep twisting my ankle when walking on it. They keep telling me it will fill in. Every finished house should be cleaned prior to the new owners moving in. The lack of better craftsmanship has held me up on having my grout sealed in the house. I could go on but I feel like a broken record.

Shocking problems with all the kitchen appliances that are low quality for what is touted as a "chef's kitchen. The kitchen drawers and shelves are literally falling apart. My bathtub doesn't hold water, master shower panel leaks, outdoor lighting is wired incorrectly and does not work. I hired a home inspector and his report outlines alk the flaws, but response is not good. I feel really disappointed and frustrated.

Action was not taken to address two significant issues, prior to closing. They were then rushed in an attempt to make "quick fixes", with inadequate results. We were then told we had to either accept these or walk away from the closing. With everything we had done in preparation for closing, we felt we had no real option but to accept. The next day one of the "quick fixes" failed and to their credit, they sent a technician who corrected the issue. The second item remains unresolved as of this writing (6 weeks after closing).

Sun city is great location but feel the house is overpriced, fit and finish (not so good) full brick- great, green space in back yard good but $$$

Electrical Switch and Outlet Boxes poorly installed causing finish plated to be uneven. Painters solution: caulk uneven plates to hide issue. Walls are uneven throughout the house. They only skim coat the drywall joints. Nothing more. High and low spots throughout the house. They use additional trim on flooring and cabinets to hide the unevenness in the walls and floors. Finish painting on trim is terrible." Brush" painted trim, not sprayed. Painting over dirt and rough portion in trim, the norm. No sanding here. Interior doors are unevenly painting throughout the house, with brush marks going in two directions. Same applies to the tile work, not good. Installers/painters are not craftsmen. ... More

Pulte tries to build homes too fast. Our tile floor was installed uneven, the grout was not done correctly and we had hazing all over our floors. The bottom of our cabinets were left unfinished and the outdoor cement work had footprints all throughout it.

Main issues were never addressed. Disappointed that our sales rep was let go. No continuity in transition. Project manager did not take care of main issues i.e. unstable toilet and flooring. Reached out to Garrett and never heard back. Very poor customer service. Issues should have been addressed immediately. We're still waiting....

Very slow to follow up on deficiencies. Still waiting on plumber to fix toilet placement in that doesn’t meet code. Been behind house is full of weeds and HOA nor builder has solved the issue.

We moved in one week before the Covid 19 crisis affected the US. We have found Del Webb to use that excuse to delay fixing issues that could be addressed during this time.

The houses are good but there are many things not finished well inside the house, and although they have people to solve the situation, they are late to solve or do nothing.

Responsiveness is really bad.

I was very disappointed in the quality of the construction of my first new home ever. Lots of little things visible and a few that were just totally ridiculous to have even been presented to me as the buyer. And there is a huge push for you to say you are satisfied within a few days after closing when it takes a little time to find things that need to be corrected.

Great purchase experience, poor follow through with all the repairs and corrections needed. Flooring has splintered at every joint and we have been waiting for 5 weeks for a Shaw manufacturers rep to come look at it. OUR contract is with Pulte NOT the flooring manufacturer. Pulte needs to step up and make it right. There are several other issues that have been an issue for weeks.

Expect no followup from Pulte Builders in this Del Webb community. This Del Webb community in Ponte Vedra is lovely and full of amenities, but our entire building process with Pulte has been disappointing and stressful

The first issue I noticed was that electrical for tv was low. Didn’t know it was an add-on to use less electrical wire to move up the wall. Then I found out there weren’t any towel racks. Seems odd as I bought a new house 3 years ago and was asked where I wanted my electrical for tv’s, phone, etc. I also had towel racks when I moved in 3 years ago. Costs for extras are way overpriced. Keypad for garage door opener, a cost of $40 costs 175 from Pulte. It was a 5 minute installation. Brackets for ceiling fans is $200 each. Three years ago I paid $50 each.

Some past warranty defects were reported. Response time in correcting some of these defects seemed unreasonable. Still awaiting repair of unfastened Garage Door Hinge.

Salesperson: Was good, however too many omissions. Things were found after the purchase that we should have been told on advance. Design center: Julie was very through in explaining everything, and very helpful in suggesting and/or recommending selections that fit out style and desires. Construction manager: Chris, was very proactive in his communication, and response time. He was very informative when asked questions about the construction. Closing: The closing was smooth and quick. We only had a few questions which were readily and clearly answered, so we could move forward without any issues. We did a final walk through prior to closing, however, you need to live in the house for several weeks or more, before you can discover any problems that you might have have. While the home has a "soup to nuts" warranty on it for the first year, there is quite a bit of "pushback & excuses" from the builders representative's, which is very disturbing. Speaking with other residents that we have met in our short time here, the general consensus is that while they build a nice home, the quality of the finish work, and they way your issues are addressed, leave not only something to be desired, but also a bad taste in your mouth. What should have been one of the most exciting moments in our lives, retiring and building a "brand new" home, has turned into a frustrating, aggravating, and disappointing experience. As to a recommendation, the best we could offer would be, "buyer beware!" ... More

Nice people - overwhelmed, not trained for positions held, sub contractors skill set is severely lacking. Communication between what was agreed to in contract and construction has gaps.

I am a disappointed that I can hear walking from the unit above me. I was told that the "great" construction would prevent that. I may need to move. Not great responses from follow up work.

I love my neighborhood and my neighbors but it shouldn’t be my job and time to make sure things are done correctly. The sales people and construction managers are very nice and friendly but the quality of their trades people is poor. I am talking from the painter to the lawn people, poor quality. The required or recommended contractors (pool builder and window coverings don’t call you back to remedy problems. The only time I have received a timely response is when I contacted a company Vice President or regional president. They told us that one month after closing they would call and make an appointment for our one month warranty issues and it’s been six weeks and no word from anyone. The swale between the houses have standing water and my back and side yards look lousy. However the yards at the models and ready to move in spec houses look beautiful. You will pay a premium price for extras but receive sub-standard work in many areas. ... More

Take care of my sprinklers system asking for over a month shows how much Pulte caves my next project is to complete the closet door in the master bedroom I have already taken care of three issues by myself I got totally tired of asking. Something needs to be done about the sprinkler please. Thank you for everything
