Del Webb Reviews

There have been many different problems with this house and they haven't resolved them even after 2 months in my home. This is my 2nd Pulte home and my first one was a very good experience, so this has been a shock.

There are major issues with this house, including poor workmanship and missing hardware. When I report these things to customer service, either I’m told to be patient or am totally ignored. It feels like Pulte is trying to run out the clock of the one year warranty. It also seems now that they have my money, they’re walking away and leaving me with a house that wasn’t built well.

The countertops and flooring would be rated good or very good. However, the finish work is the most awful work I've ever seen! Splits in woodwork and --painting drips everywhere on woodwork--poor painting overall. Lots of excuses for things not done right and field manager does not follow up or pay attention, which to me, translates to "I don't care"! Can't trust his word.

Recurring delays. Request for predrywall inspection was sent to City of Little Elm 5 weeks after my inspector did his inspection. Bricks are normally put up in 4-5 days. Mine took 4 weeks and delayed driveway and other outside work. $1000 to upgrade paint and it isn’t washable. 7 months between building permit and occupancy permit.

The purchase and closing on our house was very good, However now that we are in, we closed December 17 2021, we have had a roof leak that damaged the garage and laundry room that has still out been repaired. Can not get anyone to answer the phone or emails concerning this and we have become very frustrated. Not to mention the many other problems that the home inspector we hired found still have not been addressed, NOT ONE. At this point, I would have to not recommend purchasing from Del Webb. Del Webb was very quick to address any issue during the purchasing process, but once they had our money, we seem to have been forgotten. ... More

We had a great field construction manager. However the trade people are predominately Hispanic piece workers with very little quality control. We are in our new home but it may take some time to get all the defects repaired.

Do NOT work with Pulte ever!

Pulte uses qualify products but the craftsmanship is well below average. During the build process, the workers are just that "workers" and not skilled tradesmen. They rush through the build with unskilled labor, leaving the buyer with many, many repairs and corrections after closing. We had over 100. The build field manager assigned to us was not very knowledgeable or dependable during the build, in fact he showed up to our initial meeting with the wrong build plans. Most of the errors found during and after the build were noted by myself and our independent home inspector. The local Pulte staff states that all this is due to staff shortages and Pulte is pushing to build more homes than it can handle leading to poor quality. This is putting the customer second below profits. ... More

Terrible workmanship. For every task completed, more damage is done. A week before closing you are expected to find all the errors to be fixed. Seriously, instead of having a quality control person, they expect senior citizens to find everything wrong for them to fix. You close before the house is done, and good luck getting a response. I have a sharp metal strip standing standing straight up running the length of my slider as they didn't finish the flooring. So many gaps, errors, and cosmetic mistakes. Cabinets were broken, and I have the replacement parts in my garage. Once again it seems to be no ones job to actually complete the house. So much unskilled labor working on these homes, trying to do a job they don't actually know how to do. All tile in our walk in shower had to be ripped out once due to not being installed correctly. Love the design and look of the home, but Pulte is not delivering a quality completed home in the end. It's making you sign before it's done, then waiting until you stop complaining. ... More

As a whole, this builder displayed a total lack of interest in addressing our issues with the home. The site supervisor was somewhat helpful but spread too thin to be of timely service.

From critical sales promises not kept to low quality materials and unskilled craftsmanship along with incorrect closing fees and erroneous explanation of closing costs, the entire experience was frustrating and exhausting. Worst house building experience by far and this is my fourth build in Dallas over 35 years.

the quality of workmanship was not up to par in my opinion. some of the rooms did not have ceiling lights when I moved into the house. the landscaping around the house is not good

Experience with sales & design center was good. Project manager was non-existent. Very frustrating construction process from beginning to end. Still waiting for home to be done right 6 weeks after move in! No communication.

So far our new home is been a nightmare haven’t had a shower in the second bath since we moved in a month ago cabinets the shelving was not put in till just a week ago we are still waiting for two new doors the front and back door have been badly damaged and microwave they’re supposed to box it and has come in then sitting in my foyer for two weeks waiting for them to put it in it’s been very disappointing after living in Huntley the Webb community for 10 years this has been

The people were nice but inflexible. The designer did not cover all the options available. Some items had a descent selection other things like paint colors, bath fixtures & lighting you had to take what they had. Their only interest is to pump out as many houses as possible in the shortest period of time.

Too many to recount, but here are the highlights. 1. Quality of home construction was extremely unsatisfactory. Materials used were the lowest quality and cheapest that could be found. 2. Sales manager showed us and promised a particular decorative tile of what was supposed to be in our Quick Move In home, only to be told that it was a 'mistake' and Del Webb would not follow through with promised tile. Then said we could order it for $1,500! 3. Sloppy painting, all doors and jambs chipped and extremely rough, corners out of square, painting not fully completed 4. Us and many neighbors on our street have said we would have walked away from our purchase if we could have retrieved our deposit back ... More

The quality of work done by the tradesmen working on the homes in the Del Webb Sunbridge community are below average. It is difficult to get repairs or missed work completed after you close. I am not confident that I have a quality built home, I thought Pulte would be different but they have proven to be like all other mid-range builders; their multi-step build process did not add to the quality of the build. You can expect a punch list of things to work on after any build, but Pulte's after closing repair list is extensive and takes the joy of having bought a new home away from the homebuyer. I hope that they can turn it around and if they do through quality customer service, I'll write an updated review. ... More

Poor communication and poor construction

Would NOT recommend to buy a home built by PULTE

I feel that it was more important to slap together as many houses as possible in a short amount of time than to devote a little more time to the quality of the workmanship on the interior my house (in some cases terrible) as well as several noticeable flaws on the exterior. Some of the issues that were brought to the attention early on were not addressed and are still ongoing. Not what I expected from what I thought was a reputable home builder.

So many things that needed to be done delayed closing and supervisor promised to get them done along with some small items done after close, but didn’t do them. They are on 30 day punch list. Still waiting for toilet holder and 2 towel rings, unacceptable!

Buyer beware. Builder attempts to sub inferior goods for appearance of quality. Roads and streets keep in poor condition during construction period, creating tire dilemmas for unknowing vehicles.

Everything needs to be verified . There was some issues that had to be addressed and are not satisfied as of this date.

House lacked attention to details before closing. Builder are building so fast results are sloppy

Great design & community amenities. Poor quality painting with ultra cheap paint ( been here two months and all trim is still sticky, cheap moldings full of small and large dents, many dents and damaged areas of drywall, corner joints of base and crown molding coated with globs of caulk instead of carpenters putty. Production house built by poor craftsman with very little attention to detail or pride in workmanship. Hard to believe a public company would present this poor of a product.
