Del Webb Reviews

Staff is very professional, responding to all questions and needs

My wife and I have only been here 6 weeks and love it so far. We had some small issues, that any new home does, and Pulte has been quick to respond. The supervisor in charge during the construction, Jacob, was awesome. Although we bought a spec home, Jacob sent us pictures of the home under construction to the final product. There were some minor items that needed touch up that were seen during the walk through, but Jacob completed all repairs when promised. I was obvious that Jacob enjoys and takes pride in his job. We would highly recommend living in Stone Creek.

Our satisfaction with Pulte kind of ran out after closing when we could not get much response from them regarding our paint and tile issues. Our construction manager moved on just as our house was finished, and though he promised us at our walk through that our concerns would be taken care of to date (over a month after closing) we have had no follow through from anyone.

Truly surprised by the quality of workmanship. Haven’t had any issues thus far.

After moving in the Field Manager was helpful in settling in to the home.

If you're building new, hire a Home Inspector before closing, or better yet hire and Inspector during the build process. It will save time down the road.

Purchased "ready move in" house. Great experience from contract to move-in.

We praise Pulte for the great construction, design and overall neighborhood feel of our Del Webb home.

The finish carpentry in this house reflects neither the quality displayed in their models nor minimally acceptable workmanship given the price point of the home. Most of the mill work in the house will need to be repainted.. Grout caulk everywhere which will not clean off with water or normal solvents. House was 10 weeks over the expected construction period. The punch list was three pages long and very little of which was addressed prior to closing. 30 days after closing the list is still a page long. In talking with neighbors, our situation is not unique.

The entire process was seamless.

Overall the quality of the Pulte home is OK. My impression is that in some areas, especially finish work the personnel got a bit sloppy. On one pantry rack one bracket was missing and some of the caulk was sloppy. My main complaint deals with TAC who is the design center used in this community. I would never recommend TAC. The service we received at the initial appointment was terrible and the quality of the floor they put in was terrible. We had to replace it at our cost.

Good quality home and great place to live.

the home is beautiful, and is quality built. Just over priced

The new home we purchased was a “spec” home and it had the most popular options e.g. upgraded kitchen and baths, nicer tile etc. In fact, it was great that a professional decorator picked out all the interior options... made it so much easier for us. Pulte, builds a solid, high quality home so the foundation and internals/mechanicals were first class. Their quality assurance coordinator for the minor follow up items is outstanding in terms of responsiveness and professionalism. We plan to live in Tidewater for a long time!

Promises by sales not kept. Mislead information

We are overall pleased with our new home. From start to finish, our sales representative was available to assist with any and all concerns or directed us to the appropriate person. The building team leader was responsive to our concerns during and after the House was completed. However, we recommend an independent home inspector and a real estate agent. In our case, both our agent and home inspector agreed that our home was well built

Pay attention to location of light switches and which lights they operate, some on not placed where you'd expect them. Circuit box is going to be located on the exterior of the house and only generally gives you an idea what each circuit covers, (switches, outlets, etc.). The kitchen water supply (to refrigerator, sink, dishwasher) is separated from the water supply to the rest of the house. If possible, visit construction frequently and ask questions.

Awesome painless process from picking out the structural upgrades to design center upgrades to easy closing. Weekly updates with photos from your sales agent and communication with your build superintendent. I would pick another Del Web community again without any hesitation.

We were not included in their “Celebration Walk-Through”. This is a walk-through prior to closing that should occur. In our case, just the construction supervisor and the warranty company rep performed the walk-through. So, there have been “punch-list” items that are becoming apparent as we live in the home. (We have been in our home now for 36 days.) The Pulte Warranty folks have been hesitant to have these issues fixed. A plumbing issue (raw sewage backing up into our showers) the first week we were in our home was deemed to be our fault so we had to pay a drain company to come out and clear the drain to the street. We are now waiting to see if some crown molding joints will be caulked. ... More

Spend more time at walk thru looking for small items. Walk thru items get quick attention. Over all the house is great, but a little maddening to find corners not painted, cabinets that swing too far, concrete stained.

Have tried many times to get answers. Upon moving in i discovered 20 plus chips out of a section of concrete, no response on this. Ive asked bout our yard. But seems pulte cares only bout the new closings and getting their yards in. We have standing water often, but i guess its not important. There is couple other items but its prolly a non issue.

We were pleased with Pulte Homes especially Tom D but very displeased with our Del Webb Agent, Diane A. We had very little interaction with her- she did not return calls and complained a lot about her personal life and how busy she was at work. Once she knew we wanted the house, she became invisible. She did not help us through any of the process including things that could have been done prior to closing on the house. We had friends here last week who were interested in Del Webb too. We told them DO NOT deal with Diane A.

Del Webb sells a community, and the house is the least valuable part of your purchase. House designs provide options, but the finished house is of only average quality. Ultimately you are merely another purchaser, a small fish in a big pond, and the bureaucracy can be overwhelming. In the end, it really is just a house. The community and amenities can shine, so prepare to find your satisfaction there. Along the way take the time to be certain all details are accurately set forth in your agreements. No sales reps comments hold any value unless confirmed in writing. Any mistakes - even denials of the sales reps representations will be held against you. ... More

I have had 4 out of 6 appliances worked on already, and even though we paid top of the line price, they aren’t top of the line. I have had 4 warranty visits where I was sitting and waiting and no one showed up. The house isn’t wired for a separate switch for the fan in rooms set up for a ceiling fan and light - you have to use the pull chain. You can’t choose to put in extra outlets or say where you would like them on a wall. They planted a Live Oak within 6 feet of our swimming pool, and now we’re going to have to go through the struggle of getting permission to change it out for something suitable. Floors aren’t level. The house has a passive return air system, resulting in stuffy rooms when guests close their bedroom doors. ... More

Del Webb homes are a good value for the money from a builder who has vast experience and resources in building new home communities. The quality of their direct employees is very high and they are responsive to homeowner concerns as they arise. Evidently there is a bit more flexibility in considering homeowner requested modifications during the building process than you are led to believe at the beginning.
