Del Webb Reviews

Del Webb provides a good list of standard models. The models limited and the selections are limited to what Del Webb can purchase in bulk. In 85 % of the selections they are acceptable. But Del Webb does not support unique taste. Be different is not encourage. Being unique is an add on.

From the initial contact with the sales center to the final walkthrough and closing, working with Pulte was a good experience. All Pulte employees we worked with were professional and followed up on questions, requests and concerns in a timely manner. We would recommend Pulte to anyone looking to build or buy a home!

We are in our new home and loving it.

Excellent communication throughout the experience. Home was finished early.

Researching and engaging in the community has it's benefits. The pool and clubhouse and all it's ammenities surpasses any other over 55 community I've looked at.

Love the house but not enough electric breakers. The one for the kitchen island and two other kitchen plugs have tripped 3 times in a month and a half.

This wasn't our first time building a home and we've had bad experiences in the past. Building with Del Webb was a pleasure. No build is completely smooth, yet Del Webb was able to explain issues to our satisfaction or quickly respond and correct them in the field. Would recommend Del Webb.

From the moment we saw the plans for the Del Webb community, we knew we wanted to live here. The sales team and construction team were with us every step from initial deposit to closing. They made the process of buying the home easy and efficient. We love our new home and it’s built with quality products and sustainable practices.

Purchasing Pulte was a easy and smooth experience. Caryn was always available and helpful. Luis the builder supervisor was very good too. However getting house finished two months early, it felt rushed and there were a few details missed.Rob the gentleman that assisted after closing was efficient. Overall a pleasant buying experience!

The construction manager kept me updated at every stage of the build.

I closed on a pre-built home two months ago, and have only great things to say about it. I love it! The sales personnel (Logan and team) were honest and friendly. The construction under the manager (Alec) was of high quality and the attention to detail was well done. The community is active and very friendly (like family). I’d highly recommend this community and the homes!

We love the area and the amenities, however the building quality left us frustrated. We faced several fairly unfortunate issues related to quality. When brought to the attention of our CM, we were, at times, left with dismissive answers and the feeling that they expect us to just “live with it”. Other times, minor issues were addressed. Poor workmanship is evident throughout the home. Some examples are framing and drywall issues, broken tiles, areas left unpainted (only primed), bowing/slanting of walls and ceilings, plumbing issues. Further issues were uncovered when bringing in an electrician to hang lighting - crude workmanship was covered up with a large amount of caulk that needed to be removed. We understand time pressure but for the money we spent on this home, it was disheartening to realize quality was skimped on. ... More

Buying process through Pulte was clunky. They must of called or emailed over 10 times needing extra items for closing. Workmanship in house house isn’t great, cabinets are cheap and not sturdy, the floor are not level and square so I can see lots of caulk between trim and floors and some light switch plates also aren’t flush to the wall or tile. Landscaping is terrible, grass is always overgrown and weeds throughout the yard. It’s confusing because the grounds near the sales center look great, hmmm… it sure what my HOA fees cover. Not that impressed with Del Webb and we are first time buyers at Del Webb. And dear Gid why is the pool not done yet??! ... More

The process of choosing our lot, decorating, building, and financing our new build home was very exciting and a great experience, so during that time I would have gladly recommended (and did) DelWebb/Pulte to others. However, now that we have moved into our property it has not been a very good experience. Construction crews building other houses around us start at a very early 6:00am almost every day (sometimes even a little earlier), including Labor Day. They also constantly play loud music while working - which is rude, inconsiderate and annoying - as well as against Pulte Construction's rules. We also heard from a neighbor that when the house was completed but still vacant before we moved in, some workers were using our outdoor electrical outlet to plug in their equipment for use in other houses - which probably affected our electric bill as it was already set up in our name. So, there do not appear to be any foremen or supervisors for these workers and it has been very difficult to reach any one to handle our complaint. There was also some incomplete workmanship in our house that has needed and continues to require repair. All of this has made the new build experience with Dell Webb/Pulte very disappointing, so at this time I cannot recommend buying or building a home in a new construction neighborhood. ... More

The quality of the people is great, very friendly and welcoming. We had the whole interior of our home repainted and some drywall repaired, we paid out of pocket for that. We still have an exterior wall that needs paint also. I do not believe the house was cleaned after construction, I am still finding drops of paint on countertops and dust that should have been cleaned prior to us moving in. But I will say overall so far we love our house I just wish there was a little more attention to detail.

We enjoyed watching our dream home being built. The quality and expertise going into the building process was excellent. Steve our building manager was wonderful and kept us updated with pictures of the process every Monday morning. We can’t say enough good things, everything went great.

I would never again have Pulte build me a home and I would not recommend them to any one. For a home costing well in excess of half a million dollars the finish materials and workmanship are very poor. The landscaping is a joke and has rendered most of our lot unusable without expensive repairs. When we raised the issue we were told “well we just assume you are going to fix it anyway.” I have previously owned a Del Webb home and it was a very good house, that is no longer the case. Buyer beware.

It took 6 months for our home to be built and we have lived here now for 2 months. We love the home and the community. We loved the choices we had with the house room extensions as well as all the choices for the house finishings. Most of all we love our community with the friendly neighbors and beautiful ponds.

Painful process but nice home. My next move will be either to live under a bridge or the cemetery.

Be more flexible to allow buyers to change floor plans would be great. Otherwise, my experience was great with Pulte. They have great website to track the progress, design center. Floor tile installment was very pricey, it would nice to include as standard base price.

Process went well especially dealing with mortgage reps!

Felt like bait and switch on the financing end. Stuck with Pulte on everything for one-stop shopping convenience. Very misleading info on interest rate and incentives. Lead to believe both incentives and lower than market rate were in effect. However, did not find out until first closing estimate was dropped on me that the interest rate would be 7% in order to get incentives. Told I could exchange incentives in order to buy down rate. Then multiple last minute underwriting requests with only a couple of days to closing. Was told everything approved and then another request. Left and right hand were not communicating. Seemed like all notifications came at the end of the business day with no way to react. On one occasion, I was told of a problem with the loan at the last minute on a Friday. Had to go all weekend to even find out what issue was. Almost pulled plug on entire purchase due to this. Advice: have your own mortgage company lined up! Do not rely on Pulte. ... More

Overall we found Pulte easy to work with and the process was quick, easy and streamlined. We truly enjoyed working with Alex, he is an asset to your team. Responsive to calls and always available to answer any questions. He fixed any issues we found immediately and to our satisfaction.

We truly love our new home — the layout, the design, and the overall space are exactly what we were hoping for. However, the quality of workmanship has been disappointing. From the start, we noticed issues with finishing details, materials not installed with care, and areas that feel rushed or overlooked. While the house itself has great potential and we’re happy to live here, it’s frustrating to see corners cut on something that should have been done with pride and attention to detail. We've had issues with the gutters, sliding glass door, concrete driveway, plumbing, to name a few. With better workmanship, this home could have been exceptional. With Pulte being the only builder in Sun City, homeowners have no choice and must deal with it. ... More

From contract to closing everything went extremely well. I did have one issue after purchase that I feel could have been handled better . But overall I would strongly recommend a Pulte purchase.
