Del Webb Reviews

Even many of the upgrades still are cheap materials. The workmanship is a zero out of 5 stars. The drywall and texture in every corner looks like a 6 year old did the work. The paint is so watered down that you need to repaint the inside of your house right away. The cabinets are cheap and half of them don't close properly. The brand new bathroom countertops came scratched and lare so cheap that I am afraid to put anything on the counter. The carpet was an upgrade and it is no better than the cheapest and thinnest carpet I have ever seen. When the carpet installer comes to install carpet in the new builds, they show up with a roll of carpet in the back of a non-marked pick-up, they put the brand new carpet in the street, new side down on the asphalt to cut the carpet to the proper size. They don't put any protection between the new carpet and the filthy street. We have a 19 page report that was sent to Pulte of repairs that need to be done. Not a word in 2 months from Pulte regarding fixing the repairs. The toilet and counter top in the spare bathroom belongs in a kindergarten classroom. The size of the toilet and the countertop is embarrassing that a builder would put that in a new home in a 55+ community. Standard height for every home that I have ever been inside of throughout the country is much taller than both the toilet and sink. The baseboards throughout the house look dirty all of the time. They have been the same since the first homes were built here. If you are building a home make sure that pay the money for the upgraded baseboards. The finish work on the home lacks any pride of workmanship. For example, uneven windows, damaged inside doors, terrible drywall and texture work, paint drops on nearly every piece of tile throughout the house, very sloppy grout work between the tiles and the walls throughout the house, the whole house fan air duct was never connected (how did that ever pass inspection?), broken tiles on the new roof, the list is long. The sub contractors need to be held responsible to clean up after they are done for the day and to respect the home that they are working in. Trash was thrown every single day in our island before it was covered by the countertop. Workers urinated in our spare bathroom bathtub. The construction site is filthy with trash and leftover materials thrown on the ground. Pulte can do better and should do better. ... More

Del Webb/Pulte sales staff has slick marketing and friendly folks to sell their product. As we waited over the next 6 months, we heard nothing other than from the money people wanting to make sure we paid. Our "celebration walk" (looks great in the video, smiling customers, clean home, etc.) was a DISASTER. The home was SO dirty - floors, cabinets, walls, ceilings and they were ALL damaged or so poorly finished we couldn't believe they would turn over a house in such a condition. Del Webb's/Pulte's response was "well, you get a year to let us know what needs fixed." We wanted a house we could move into and enjoy - not this! We spent the first two weeks on our knees just trying to clean paint off the tile floor through the WHOLE HOUSE - one tile at a time. We spent the first two months waiting for sub-contractors to show up to "fix" things that should have been fine in a brand new home. Now we're starting month-3 and over half of the contractors never showed up in the first two months. Apparently, our time doesn't mean anything to Del Webb/Pulte. We are SO frustrated. We moved to this community for the amenities, but haven't been able to use any because we sit home waiting for subs to come get our house move-in ready - as we live out of suticases waiting for repairs to EVERYTHING! Del Webb/Pulte doesn't give you any way to reach anyone other than one person - so if they aren't responsive, you're out of luck. ... More

We would be very hesitant to recommend Pulte Builders as a quality builder. There were so many disastrous situations we experienced during our build. Unfortunately, some of our problems have yet to be resolved. It's a real shame when you spend nearly a half million dollars on a home that you THINK is going to be a quality build, and it turns out that shortcuts and poor quality workmanship are the standard. So very disappointed in what we thought was going to be our "dream home."

There focus is too close, not to complete the house or be concerned about quality.

Broken and chipped tile materials used by Pulte, split wood boards, electrical problems, sewer line crushed, doors dinted and dinged, pavers damaged, overall rushed and low quality construction, very dissatisfied homeowner. Builder not responsive to fixing problems, keep getting the run around. I regret buying a home built by Pulte.

By far, the worst new house purchase I've ever made - this is my fourth. Pulte can speak of quality, but there is no evidence of quality in my house. And the design oversights are astounding. Even junior architects shouldn't make such fundamental errors - doors that open on to each other, doors that cannot be opened unless another door is closed, air vents over dining table and living room seating area, windows that cannot be opened all the way because there is no grab handle on the bottom of the windows to close them, 'frameless' shower enclosure only missing the cheap aluminum frame on the top side, shower door that only opens out so water drips on the floor and shower mat cannot be used, no towel rack - must step out of the shower dripping wet to reach a towel, and the list goes on. And the poor workmanship - damaged countertop, damaged cabinet doors, wrong shower tile, horrible paint application, and more. I've been in my house for six weeks and the 'warranty' work is ongoing. Thus far, no design deficiencies have been fixed. ... More

The house was not ready for us to move into on our closing date on August 3. The floor tile was defective and the builder knew this 30 days before closing, the carpet was badly stained from muddy shoes and needed to be replaced. The kitchen vent shroud was installed poorly and totally unacceptable. We were told that we could not move into the house for 30 days after closing due to these construction defects. It is now 70 days after our closing and we are still waiting for the kitchen shroud to be installed and the correct dryer to be delivered. We are still waiting on payment for compensation for us to rent back the villa we were living in due to extending our closing for the second time. All this has caused extreme stress and frustration. ... More

It wasn’t a good experience! With the title company!

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!!!!

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.

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

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

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.

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

we have been in the house for apprx, six weeks and the punch list at walk thru before closing still have not been addressed, the paint job on new trim makes trim look like its thirty years old, full of caulk, paint drips etc.doors are rough{painted with a roller}? I can not express the diapointment, and most neighbors agree

Pulte is only in it for the profit. Build quality very poor... They'll tell you one thing and do another.

Not a good quality and unqualified builder

The quality is very poor, the work is like your getting a starter house, as cheap as you can build. This builder does not take pride in building home, issues after issues. I had mold on wood and this builder would not replace the wood, just cover the wood up. Just lots of cheap materials in house.

I had bad experience since day one

We were told we weren’t getting a custom home but it would be a quality home - swing and a miss on both. Disappointed.

I was told from day one that this was a production build and that Pulte would not make accommodations for individual buyers. That was absolutely the case, without exception. I have never worked with such an unyielding builder. The quality of the workmanship is subpar and the field manager was unwilling to fix the problems. I have had the opportunity to speak with many neighbors now and they have all had the same experience.

Major issues found upon move in. Builder is months behind and can’t fix. These are not warranty issues the issues are sloppy workmanship and DelWebb not supervising their contractors to assure of a quality home build. This is our fourth home build. We are very disappointed in the final product.

On June 1, 2020 I received an email from your customer care manager stating July 2nd. between 8 and 4 my punch list items would be addressed. I waited ALL DAY for two people to come. One sprayed the track in the 2nd. bedroom window to make it easier to use and one aligned my laundry room doors. ALL DAY to have insignificant items addressed while the important items were not. I'm STILL WAITING. My closing was March 30, 2020. It is rude, unkind and very unsettling to feel totally ignored. Stop blaming COVID for your unprofessionalism.

I am so disappointed with the quality of the craftsmanship. My house has problems
