Del Webb Reviews

I find this development to be average. I am concerned about the quality work of my home over the years ahead. My project manager has been excellent but I am not satisfied with the HOA management and it's concern for the homeowners. My home has had issues with potential new development and burning in adjacent land behind my home. I feel very insecure about maintaining my homes value as Pulte does not feel it's important to address neighboring developers who could hinder our homes value, fire risk, or the price we paid for our lots. I also find a miscommunication within the Del Webb/Pulte teams. Promising things that are not the case when one closes on their home. I am still also concerned over the cracks discovered in the seams prior to closing. All will show over the months ahead. Overall, this build was handled professionally by the project manager but not by the other corporate representatives. I have built many homes and this one is below average and for the money should have included more kitchen design options. ... More

Customer care does not return phone calls. We have issues that need answers. No one will meet with us.

I loved the model home with all the beautiful lighting, and upgrades, however, none of the upgrades shown are even remotely available to the buyer! The upgrades offered are not what you'd find in a home in this price range. I realize Pulte is a big company wanting to put up homes as fast as possible and buyers having to much input and changes would slow down their process. However, I haven't spoken to one new homeowner yet that hasn't said the same thing. High price for a cookie cutter house. 90% of the homeowners want choices and are used to finer finishing touches in their homes. We were all told we could make changes with the approval of the HOA after the home is built. Yes, that can be done but that turns into an additional cost that could've and should've been done during the building process. My home is still a work in process because of this, and I'm so disappointed since we just sold our 3 story home with all the bells and whistles for less than the price of this small "vanilla" home. ...

The person handling our closing walk thru was very responsive and ask for 5 stars. A few weeks later we asked for a follow up several times and he never responded. A month later and no follow up to our call. Seems like once he got our 5 star rating, he wasn’t interested in helping us anymore.

Materials and some trades are second rate at best. The people I sold my old home to git a much better home than I did. Del Webb Nocatee is a second rate community.

It is too early to provide a review. After 2 months, my reaction is neutral.

There is QUALITY CONTROL in place during the building process. Builders are rude and do not explain nor justify delays in the construction process. Homeowners have the right to ask questions and not being reprimanded by the builders. It’s necessary to get a Quality Control System in place that homeowners can use or talk to instead of mean and disrespectful builders. We placed a complaint about Russ, our builder at the time not knowing that we would get a call back from Bryan screaming at us from the top of his lungs to “BACK OFF”. Bryan, was beyond rude and disrespectful. This is a culture of terror and bullying towards the homeowners that pay for his salary. We have heard several complaints about him after moving into our new home. Nobody seems to be interested in complaining anymore as nothing changes. After moving in Quality Control Again, ZERO. Always trying to push to get things done. Subs are not held liable for the mess they make. Nails everywhere, no magnet enforcement, muddy streets for weeks in a row. Homeowners are NOT the first priority. ... More

Most of the customer facing staff did a good job especially Lauren, Daniel, Randy, Bryson and Elena. The staff behind the scenes, the decision makers, could care less about the homeowner. Pulte policies and decisions are all about maximizing profits as opposed to creating a quality product and satisfied customers.

Be prepared to spend another $50,000 over what the list price is of your home. The upgrades are ridiculously overpriced, and they do not allow for even the smallest of changes to the plan. You have no say on what landscaping is put in, so you have to tear it out and start over. They are very slow in fixing the things that were not installed correctly to begin with. The new home is great but Pulte as a company sucks big time.

There were issues before closing that were not resolved and closing was delayed causing my belongings to be moved again into storage. The quality of workmanship was poor - paint on the floor and on the windows, exterior and interior doors out of line, sloppy paint job. The construction manager tried his best to resolve all the issues but with his other workload, it was overwhelming. It has been more than a month since closing and all issues are still not resolved.

So many problems. Closing set then postponed indefinitely without informing us. Appliances not hooked up. Final walkthrough never done. Promised cleanup never done. Garage door has been worked on but still awaiting part to complete repair. Sprinklers set incorrectly resulting in a $900+ water bill for a two week period. Driveway crumbling. At least the roof doesn’t leak. Yet.

The people I delt with were all professional and responsive. The sales incentives were clear as mud and could have been easily made simple if sales wanted it that way. The quality (finishes/features/craftmanship etc.) of my 500K house is NOT what I would espect for 500K. It looks more like a 200K house.

While I believe the Del Webb social aspects of the community will be a positive if I can ever get beyond trying to fix all the issues with the house, the building process with Pulte has been extremely stressful, challenging and disappointing for the cost of the build. Multiple issues of sloppiness in the concrete pours, brick caulking, wide open spaces of daylight through doorframes, build design flaws, inability to get warm (not even hot) water in some sinks in anything less than 1 minute and 20 seconds, toilets so off center you actually are knocking into the wall as you sit, shower doors with multiple issues and more. And Pulte will only consider fixing or are even capable of fixing even a small portion of the problems without tearing the house apart. It would seem the only objective Pulte has is to get houses up fast and to get paid. It certainly is not quality of build or customer satisfaction. I have only met three people so far and their feelings and the conversations are all alike on this topic. ... More

I would love a do-over. The sales rep did us a disservice by pushing us to not get things done during the build and didn’t offer a lot of things I wish I had gotten. Having only an hour or so to pick what you want in the house with no opportunity to change your mind on non- structural things is insane. You need at least a day to look at the selections and change your mind especially when you aren’t being told about everything. You don’t know what you don’t know until you see it in someone else’s home who had a different sales rep. The finishes are terrible. The quarter round is chewed up and the tray ceiling looks bad. The wood used throughout looks beat up. The painting is awful with flat paint. I wish I had come every day and watched them work. They uncovered the floor with more painting to be done. I am still picking little dots of paint off the floor. I am still doing construction spending thousands after we closed. The punch list was a joke. All those pieces of tape on the walls and other areas was only for show because they did nothing. If my husband wasn’t sick, I never would have closed. We bought one of their high end homes and the quality is poor. The master bathroom shower wall looks horrible. I am going to either tile it like this builder did at its other location or put wainscoting in that area. My neighbor got my black fireplace surround and I got her Marble. It doesn’t match my quartz countertops. Paying to remove it. The fireplace was painted without sanding it. The wood is rough, not smooth. Gonna pay to fix it. I am exhausted. The home doesn’t sell, it’s the community, the lifestyle that draws people. Go every day during the build. Make them fix things before they get to far. Be there the day they paint. They paint…they are not painters. They brush where they should have sprayed and caulking is something they cannot do properly. I would have rather they painted nothing and let my real painter paint at my expense because I am paying him now to re-paint. Love the floor plan and the community. ... More

Pulte prides itself in their quality and I can honestly say quality is probably furthest from their minds. They are all about the dollar, period! If you are looking for quality, look elsewhere. If you want a run of the mill, but standard home, then they will not disappoint.

The floor plan works well for me. The finishes are problematic. Drywall, texture, molding are all sloppy. Since moving in spent time cleaning up paint splatter off of floor, glue off of countertops. Will end up sanding down repainting areas of baseboards. Big issue such as frameless shower door that doesn’t close is being addressed quickly after working with warranty office.

Lots of issues with the home found in the first month! Still waiting for repairs. Closed late. Overall, not happy!

Lot's of issues with the house once we moved in. House was not built the best for the money we spent. Very disappointed.

My sales agent was wonderful and had the perfect personality for her job. She kept me up-to-date on the construction and was most helpful. The construction manager was also helpful and for the most part kept me up-to-date. My negative experiences included the following: my closing date was moved three times requiring that I’ll reschedule movers, utility issues and also renegotiate my rental agreement where I was living prior to moving. When I arrived for my walk-through, painters were in the house, none of the kitchen appliances had been installed, and I was missing a number of pieces to complete woodwork. The punchlist has been huge with problems with getting workers to show up to do work. Also, my closing was delayed because there was no water sewer hook up and when I contacted that company a few days prior to closing they did not even have my address on their map and indicated that no application had been submitted for the water sewer hook up. I have never had these experiences with the other three homes I have had built in the past. All of these issues have made this process quite unpleasant even though I am very happy with the development and generally very happy with the quality of my home. It has just been a real mixed bag! ... More

Quality homes. The wait to move into our home was not what we were told or expected. Communication among the Pulte Team is poor. Very frustrating. Realize everyone is trying to do their job, but I would not recommend Pulte to a friend. Built 3 houses in our lives and this is by far the worst experience.

the title should speak for itself.

You’re signing up for a production line house with a custom price. Don’t expect your house to not have most/all the defects that others have had. Pulte does not appear to improve its methodology as it goes.

Here is a short list of our issues at closing Hot water not working Gas not working Washer dryer not working Gas range not working No refrigerator Mirrors and glass scratches throughout Outside gas outlet not working Hvac heat/cooling not working Door crack front door Master shower handheld not Installed Drywall hole coming in from garage Garage floor coating coming up

we were out of state for the entire building process. i would not consider ever doing that again with this builder.

Still have issues pending Hopefully they will be resolved soon
