Del Webb Reviews

The community here is wonderful. The environment is beautiful, and amenities unsurpassed. Be aware that there are multiple quality of work issues that can be remedied, but you will need to be persistent and patient. I am seeing intentional effort to resolve these issues; however, there are more than one project that will be extensive and have still not been initiated. Also, I would advise potential buyers to check the reviews and references of their Pulte real estate agent. Choose only from those with excellent ratings. It will greatly influence your buying experience.

Wanted to join resort lifestyle , quiet small town. We bought a ready to move in spec house with a pond view , pool , three car , 3br,3ba , office den ,great kitchen with open concept to living and dining . Large lanai and screened in pool. Best part was all the great new neighbors. Ave Maria is very nice in a rural setting . Nice roads to and from .Pulte offered us a nice finance package that was a smooth process and quick .

field managers should pay more attention during the construction period

Do your homework prior to purchasing

I believe that Del Webb knows what they are doing as they build all these 55+ communities. They know what people are looking for and enjoy. They work with reputable companies that know how to keep the building process on schedule. I only noticed that a few of the items I paid extra for were done cheaply (such as, plastic lights in the ceiling).

I have lived in my new home for 5 weeks. I'm happy with the quality and workmanship. There were a few issues but they were minor. I would recommend Del Webb to my friends.

Love my home. Appreciate the quality and follow up. All questions and concerns addressed. Excellent workmanship.

Love my new home and am very pleased with it. Have found a few minor issues with our new home but they were either quickly fixed or we fixed them ourselves. Truly believe it is a great benefit to be close while the house is being built and check on it at least once a week. We found several issues during the building that were quickly fixed. If they had not been pointed out by us would they have been caught in time to fix or caught at all? It appears at times that the subcontractor is more concerned with just completing the task and moving on the next house vice actually caring for the quality of his work. ... More

We love our new home in Del Webb at Chateau Elan! While the neighborhood is still under construction, every effort is taken to provide comfort and convenience for current homeowners while continuing to make new home buyers' dreams come true! The amenities here are spectacular and the staff here is the friendliest on the planet! We've met new friends and are learning new sporting activites, as well! Can't say enough good things about our experience. Would highly recommend!

Price paid exceeds home assessment.

Although we gave a good review originally, after more than a month of living here, we are now extremely disappointed. It took way too long to start building and then it seems Del Webb rushed to complete. From the beginning, Del Webb's sales staff would only contact us after we contacted them. No updates were forthcoming until we called them. Fast forward to after closing, we hired painters to paint the bedrooms, den, and bathrooms and found the workmanship of Del Webb, in association with the walls, abysmal - incomplete (gap between top of door and drywall), did not sand mud and painted over it, gobs of caulk not smoothed out, pockmarked and dents everywhere. The building and warranty managers told us we should have never used eggshell paint because it would show too many flaws. Well we weren't expecting such poor workmanship! The drywall people came (3 days) to try and fix everything but short of starting all over (hanging new drywall), it was a futile endeavor. To top it all off, we paid extra money to have smooth walls; it was a builder's upgrade. We requested a refund, but never heard back from the salesman (no surprise there). We just hope that Del Webb's poor workmanship doesn't show up in anything else but only time will tell. In summary, Del Webb's abysmal workmanship cost us more time and money to try to correct their mistakes. ... More

Outstanding builder and community.

The house is build very fast, their schedule for building the house is excellent. You almost can program your move in.

Had warranty issues from day 1 from appliances to electric to plumbing. Little response from warranty department with no urgency until we escalated to supervisors in charge. Very disappointed in our experience to date.

When we had a question we often did not receive a call back ASAP.

First of all, let me be clear. Karl, our field manager, was the BEST ever. He was did his best in trying to schedule the trade men to tackle the items needing attended - by there was and still is a delay in getting things done. He bent over backwards for us. We paid a lot of money for our wood floors; probably way more than if we would have done it ourselves from a separate flooring company. But, I wanted to file a claim, the floor representative came out and said indeed there are many issues and would get it fixed - but have not heard anything. Not sure why Pulte uses a whole panel screen for the lanai - the screen comes undone so easily and repairs will be needed after each heavy wind. Should be a better way of installation and/or product. There should be more customer customizations while making choices - not just a cookie cutter and that’s the way it is. ... More

This is my third new home. What a difference from the others! All the folks at Pulte were courteous, quick to respond to my questions and made this the easiest purchase ever. It was such a pleasure! The community is gorgeous and the amenities are great. And my home...just wow! All the extras make this home such a great value. Thank you!

Does not get any better than this.

This was the first house we built. The construction manager - Chris P. was FANTASTIC and frankly saved it for us. We wound up having to settle for some stuff we did not want and did not get some things we had wanted.

OUR sales representative was excellent and co-operative in every phase our home building process.

Betty was THE BEST. Thanks

The entire team from sales to construction to mortgage was terrific. The experience was great all the way through.

Some minor issues as expected. Job super was outstanding!

happy with home. neighbors are great. mowing crew needs some guidance

The construction process was very pleasant and builder was very competent.
