Del Webb Reviews

Extremely long ordeal. Poor quality of products and installation of products. Warning: do not sign off until All items are complete. Side garage door should be standard, not an upgrade. No vanity lights above mirror in master bath. Just lights on 10ft ceiling. Vanity lights an upgrade too?

The salesperson, Travis, was dishonest with me. The house is beautiful, but the quality of workmanship and finish work are disgusting. I been in my house for two months and still am looking at much blue tape. Quality of drywall work and the condition of woodwork and doors are very sub par. Patrick, my representative, I believe , is trying to get things fixed but there is a long way to go.

Pulte at Del Webb. Is only about money. You did not like what I said before and I stand by my words. Entire experience has been disappointing especially since we settled. My yard is a mess and hazard to my health!!!!

For other potential home buyers, I say "stay away." You will encounter very bad workmanships (if you want to call it that) and complete lack of responsiveness. Before we moved in, we got to meet our neighbors and they all had complains about the terrible workmanship both inside and outside the houses. we were rushed to close despite a long list of punch list items which, to this day, have not been completed. Some were completed only to create other problems by the workers. Pulte has no quality control over the workers and depend on the contractors to monitor their own work. The supervisors are so overloaded with work that there is minimal, if any, quality checks. Here are SOME of the items that we are still dealing with: . Bad grading of back and side yards which allows rain water to accumulate at the house foundation. . Instead of providing good fill material for the yard and flower beds, the contractor used clay soil which is worthless for planting anything. . The drive way has cavities underneath with no fill. It is just a matter of time for the concrete to break and collapse. . Tiles in the house are set incorrectly and are not level with each other. Wife almost cut her foot from one of the tiles that stood up from the rest. . Paint on garage walls are peeling and flacking, Looks like they did not prime the walls first. . The water heater cover is set incorrectly. . Kitchen backsplash tiles popped out. still waiting for repair . Found the air handler in attic to have missing caps at the condensate line, letting cool air to exhaust into attic. Made a run to Lowes to buy caps. . The few shrubs provided were of the type that some will have extensive roots which are going to be a problem to the house foundation. Need to be replaced. . The paint job in many locations looks like could have been done better by our 12 year old granddaughter. Pulte used inexperienced contractors. . Used cheap light fixtures in all the bathroom. We are planning to replace all of them. The type used can be found in cheap hotels. . Many electrical switches are installed too for from the room/closet/laundry entrances. In the dark, you have to hunt for them. . We had infestation of army worms and had to call several times to front office before we got a contractor to treat outside areas. . We are planning to get inspector(s) to check the structural integrity of the house. We are investigating what state agencies to contact for advice and support. we have been in this house for only one month and we are constantly finding problems. This is in addition to the long list of items we uncovered during the walkthrough which took place 2 days before closing. We were fortunate, in a way, that a new supervisor took over just before the house was "completed". He tried his best to rectify some of the problems that he inherited. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE NEW HOME OWNERS WHO ARE PLANNING TO MOVE HERE. ... More

This is our 4th Del Webb new home and the experience couldn't have been worse. From being forced to bid on lots, to the house no where near ready on Walkthrough Day (and I mean no master tub, no cooktop, etc!), to broken windows installed, to footprints IN the concrete of our front walk, to even painting my two garage doors DIFFERENT COLORS. There is no end to the disappointments. Had we deposited less money, we would have walked away.

Pulte DelWebb Whatever name you want to call them. From construction, delivery of the home, customer service and mortgage company horrible. I think that sums it up

Our experience was not at all what we were promised. Finding out someone had put a cigarette out in our walk-in shower to finding a banana peel hanging in the spare room closest. The workmanship for the price we paid is very poor. We have had numerous issues with getting things complete. Commutation with our field manager is awful. We should not have to be the ones to contact people in order to have things fixed.

The communication from all parties is horrible

We did our walk thru and the place was a mess and was told they would do a final clean. Pointed out several issues inside and outside of the house. Received a text 3 days later that everything was fixed and we could move in. I am out of state so I did not come back for 3 weeks. When I arrived w truckloads of items to move in the majority of the walk thru stuff had not been complete and the house was filthy. The superintendent did get most items fixed in next 2 days but I should of never had to delay my move in or call people to come fix and clean. I am still trying to get the last few items fixed and no one will return my call. My confidence level of the quality of this home is very limited based on the lack of cleanliness and quality in presentation of the house. It is very obvious in this market that Pulte/Del Webb is trying to capture as much profit and putting quality secondary. ... More

Speed is more important than quality... walls aren't plumb... window screens missing... screws missing everywhere... irrigation pipe leaking and neighbors have many more items

This home has low quality of workmanship with many of the finishing details poorly done. We have had to have them come back to redo and repair many items that should of be done correctly in the first place. For a home that cost a half million dollars I would have expected much better quality and attention to details.

the quality of work is awful, I don't know where they get there tradesmen from, but the work is awful. They trip over each other destroying each others sad work skills. Was not impress with the celebration walk through wanted to cry. I am 30 odd days out and still have a punch list and the company is fighting with me weather they are responsible for the repairs. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY

bad quality control, shotty craftsman

Beware. Tape all of your conversations with all people associated with your transaction from first meeting to Close of Escrow. Most of the people are not trustworthy. Workmanship is poor. No attention to detail. Document everything.

I was not happy with the way the my house was done. Painting was sloppy both on the inside and outside. Light fixtures were poorly done. Bathrooms walls are uneven and the fan sounds like a truck when turned on. On a windy day, the kitchen vent makes a flapping sound. Calls made were usually just lip service with no response to fix the problems

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.

The appliances are not well-made. They have problems. The washer is defective, the plumbing is bad.

The lack of quality and quality control is non-existent resulting in multiple attempts to resolve the same issue. It is exhausting to say the least. There is also no accountability. Pulte blames the contractors and the contractors blame Pulte. Run, do not walk, to a community that does not use Pulte. This has and continues to be an exercise in futility. Forget about any relaxation while you own a Pulte home.

Cracked beams. Open roof. Lawn w rocks dead grass and dead plants.

Horrible communication with the field manager. Never responds in a timely matter or not at all. Workmanship is poor. I've called customer service several times and still nothing gets resolved.

Beware of the lack of quality in the home you are purchasing. Walls out of plum, countertops in bath areas out of plum due to walls mentioned. Floors not cleaned before move in. Poor paint finish on doors and trim. Cabinet supplier not standing behind a workmanship issue. The list goes on, but you can see the problems from this short list.

From sales meeting to final construction, a very painful experience

I have nothing good to say about Pulte homes. I paid almost half a million for my house and have been very disappointed in the quality of work. Nicks in laminate flooring, screw holes in the garage where they put up the garage door wrong but neglected to fix the holes. Sloppy finish work the caulking is bad throughout the whole house. The microwave was not installed correctly, the kitchen range is crooked and don’t even get me started on the staircase railing. When the come to fix something the usually make it worse. I have talked to home owners in Carolina Orchards and they to have had similar problems and some had worse. All Pulte is interested in is getting their money then slapping up a poorly built house. If someone asks me I would tell them (DO NOT BUY A PULTE BUILT HOME THEY PROMISE THE MOON AND YOU GET A VERY SLOPPILY BUILT HOME FOR YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ... More

They care about closing the deal. They do not care about you, your home, or about honesty and integrity. Their employees are dishonest and insincere. The company is cheap and will always choose their profit over the quality of the product they deliver to you. Really lackluster customer service by corporate employees who are experts at complaint deflection, redirection and excuse making.

Our poor quality of workmanship was created by having 5 different field managers exchange responsibility throughout the build of our home. POOR management system. OUR HOME IS FULL OF ITEMS NEEDING RREPAIRED AND THEY ARE CHOOSING TO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MISTAKES such as cracked window, unsmooth granite countertops with sharp edges.. Bowed walls...porch and patio full of birdbaths and craters as well as saw cuts in the edges of our bullnosed cement work...The list Goes On.. underaged kids working on our flooring and tiles.. Shall I continue? This ones gonna hit thecourtroom. Will not recommend Pulte or Del Webb to anyone. ... More
