Del Webb Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

Home buying experience was simple and easy. A few key items have not yet been corrected.

There is nothing I do not like about the model\style and layout of our home. There was lack of communication and personal connection from the sales office rep and lack of making sure we were getting what we really wanted. We were lucky we didn't have any major issues, but every issue wether big or small should be treated the same and taken care of. I feel like the project manager was trying to classify us with certain answers to my concerns,but yet kept on coaching us to give him a good review. I feel a good look should be given by someone from Del Web on the overall look at the work being done and accepted by project managers. The sod the the sidewalks the already dying shrubs and pine needle cover not working and staying in place. ... More

Very disappointed with the response of Builder and quality of work moved in month and 1/2 ago and still waiting on items to be fixed that were noticed before closing and we were told would be fixed immediately. Very poor work and service for the money. No contact with anyone on sales staff after closing poor customer service.

Overall, we are very excited to be in our new Del Webb house and community in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Our experience throughout the process has been very good. Our project manager did a great job in working closely with us to address and resolve any concerns before the house closing. The follow up with minor issues has been handled in a timely manner. We highly recommend our Del Webb community to others,

The entire process was very disappointing. I would never recommend anyone to buy a house from DelWebb.

The sales team was very informative and responsive to all our questions. We received regular updates throughout the building process. Still waiting for the original punch list to be completed and additional items since moving in.

Great workmanship. James was very attentive

We purchased a spec home so we did not have a longer relationship with our builder. But the time we spent on the finishing stages of our home were very positive. We still have a few open items but they are being handled to our satisfaction.

Suffice to say, the post closing support has soured our experience. We had a significant list of punch items at our final walk, and only 4 of about 50 have been done in the 45 days since. Some of these are minor, but there are what I consider major items too. Below is a list of items sent to Pulte at the end of December, approximately 30 days after our November closing. Front Door Whistles (leaks) when there is the slightest amount of wind. Needs alignment. Coat Closet Shelf needs replacing due to finish damage. Return vent needs squaring. Office Scratched glass on office doors transom window. Blind in needs trimming/leveling, as it binds towards the bottom. Entry doors bind, needs adjustment. Guest bedroom Window trim patched and painted. Corner wall needs squaring Blind adjusted Guest bathroom Drywall/paint repair when mirror was installed. Cabinet drawer alignment/sink mount bolt interference. Kitchen Cabinet above refrigerator needs replacing, damaged/split door hinge area Stainless hood chimney needs alignment. May also need exhaust tubing work to allow for proper fitment. Ignitors on stove quit working after 1 week in house, using lighter to cook. This may be a warranty issue. Hole in drywall over beverage center / refrigerator Microwave has dent, needs replacing. Missing trim on left side above beverage center Gathering Room Wall to the right of the nook, crooked Fireplace gas valve trim needs adjustment, mud, and paint. A tech came by last week to move it, so its ready for finishing. Sunroom Exterior door to lanai needs adjusting/trimming. Doesn't close/open smoothly. Window #3 needs alignment/adjustment. Binds when opening/closing. Hallway Bedroom Wall needs repairing, very crooked Closet ceiling needs painting, wrong color Shoe molding has high spot. Hallway Bathroom Vanity cabinet cracked at screw Master Bedroom Window trim patching and painting. Master Bathroom Right side mirror needs replacing due to incorrect assembly. Exposed frame holes are visible. Drywall/paint repair from when mirrors were installed. Missing paint between linen and closet doors Master closet Drywall/paint repair where fireplace gas valve was repaired. Stairwell to Loft Railing needs sanding and restaining. Stair trim needs sanding and painting. Loft Carpeting has paint on it at top of stairs needs cleaning or replacing. Long wall on backside very crooked Closet attic access panel needs painting 1/2 wall trim damaged Loft Bedroom Need the 5-panel door installed and finished. Warped wall trim needs repair/refinish Garage Leave 48' of 8" trim and 3 sheets plywood for finishing above. Outside Need paint on front concrete walkway removed. May require replacement.

Needs repair/replace Lanai post needs painting/refinishing from tape removal. Rear roof shingles/underlayment issue, rear of house. Hardy plank on side has hole in it. Brick flashing at garage needs replacing. Has hole in it. Vertical strips need replacing on front side of house. Visible, uneven gaps at bottom edges all over. General comment on trim/painting. Minimal attention to detail was applied throughout entire house. Overspray, very poor edging, spills, and lack of good cleanup are evident all around the home. We need the "A" crew to come spend a day on our home to address many of these issues. I can provide pictures if needed. Front Door Whistles (leaks) when there is the slightest amount of wind.

We were excited to purchase the lot with the elevation, & color. But we couldn't because of symmetry and had to relocate to another lot. Moving forward, we picked out our choices for the entire house but had to make adjustments as supplies for certain materials were not available. That was understandable. Only three colors to choose from for interior paint. When the time came to do a pre-walk-through 2 weeks before closing, we were shocked. There was so much more that needed to be done - the molding, calking, and paint were done substandard. No bathroom mirrors, cracks in the tile, etc. We felt rushed into the closing, and should not have proceeded. But we did, trusting our building manager to make the necessary corrections. Guess what? That didn't happen. We arrived to move in after a 15-hour drive, and the entire home was coated in spackle dust. The floors were filthy, mud caked on the floor, mirrors never cleaned, and inside windows dirty. It was disgusting. Complained to the building manager and a cleaning crew arrived. They helped, but the condition of the home was still unacceptable. We were buying a home, like the model that was shown to us. This was not what we closed on, or what we moved into. Shoddy workmanship, too many jobs uncompleted, and the list goes on and on. This was not a home that was ready to be moved into. While the structure seems adequate, the finishing work could have a lot better. We're disappointed with the build. Advice: Do NOT go to closing until all issues are fixed. ... More

It’s is not easy to get items requiring correction addressed

We waited six months for the house to be finished and having built and owned 5 new homes and two custom builds this has been the worst product for the price. Caulking , molding , painting both inside and out very poor , several shades do not work and the dish washer was not hooked up at all. Your support teams are so so as of this point we have not receive a punch list ….

Experience could have been better if Pulte cared about fit and finish.

In general, Pulte builds a good product. The finish work and warranty is horrible. I have purchased 2 properties from Pulte (primary (2020)& investment(2022). I am having issues with my one year warranty on my primary residence. February 2023 will be two years since I closed. I purchased a second investment home in November 2022. It was not finished at closing in November. I was assured things would be finished by mid December 2022. I left a 53 item punch list on December 1, 2022 and the repairs are not finished. (it’s Jan 11, 2023)

Not a good value at these prices.

I do not have a pinnacle!!! I am in a villa!!!!! Responsiveness is terrible!!! Workmanship is careless, shoddy & poor quality. The “Pulte Promise” of “Quality Build” is lip service. You hire low paid, unqualified workers who have no craft or expertise!!!

My husband and I have had approximately 13 homes in the last 18 or 20 years and at least five of them were spec homes that were brand new by reputable builders. We’ve had many issues beyond anything I’ve experienced with this new house in DelWebb NMB. There was no hot water in the kitchen and the faucet was not working properly. It took about two weeks of multiple phone calls and emails to get a new faucet. There’s a broken door going into the den. There was multiple sloppy workmanship and paint and trim, i’m still waiting for the range hood to be replaced that was defective since the day we moved in. We are now in the house almost 3 months. There was also a major problem with the sprinkler system. It took a couple weeks finally to get them to come and look at it, and the workers were very nice and found that the system is broken and the water was squirting right into the front door and into the back porch. We commented on our walk-through before we close that they were defects in the counters in both bathrooms and it took over a month to have someone come and look at it from the counter company and they decided they had to be replaced. Multiple times we set up appointments for them to replace the counters and the company workers did not show up. One time they lied to my project manager and said I wasn’t home and I was home waiting for them. The project manager tries to get vendors to fix things, and they continually do not show up while we wait at home all day, it would be nice if the project manager was more responsive and answering calls and emails and maybe once in a while stopping in to see how a new homeowner is doing on a face-to-face manor. There are approximately 20 homes that have been closed on in the neighborhood and we are all getting pretty friendly with each other and everyone is saying the same thing that the workmanship and quality is very very poor people have problems with their bathrooms, their air conditioner, their windows, mistakes, wrong toilets, wrong shower doors, the subcontractors are not properly supervised and there seems to be no quality control. I was going to recommend this neighborhood to many of my friends and now I’m not so sure because of the quality of the building. My home was $525,000. I feel for that price they should’ve been more quality control. Hopefully the responses to the survey will help you improve the building quality of these houses. They are very pretty and they are in a good location and I think the community is going to be very charming. But people are spending a lot of money and it’s very frustrating Having to wait day after day, week after week to get responses back from project managers and then wait for vendors to come and then they don’t show. ...

Seamless and the sales rep was fantastic

My experience will not be the same as other buyers since I am also an employee and made an agreement that some things could be completed after I closed so not sure you should share that. I think an improvement Pulte could make is to do a better job of checking things like drainage and lines as I had issues with drains being stopped up due to containing flecks of paint or something similar, possibly drywall. I was told that nails had also been previously found in lines. In addition, I found it very hard to believe that I paid over $500,000 for a house and they do not even give you a shower rod for your guest bathroom so when I had the drainage issue in my master bath, I could not use the other shower as I had no rod! That seems like an inexpensive item that they may want to consider giving home buyers! I will say that James, my construction manager, has always been very helpful in trying to resolve my issues in a timely manner, keeping in mind that it was sometimes dependent on the contractors and when they could fix the issue. Another suggestion is to put the towel rack closer to the entrance of the zero entry shower as when you are in the shower, you cannot reach the towel! There is a blank wall between sink and toilet room so towel rack would be nice there too! Finally, considering the price of the house, I also could not believe you do not get a light in the flex room so I have not been able to use it except when there is sunshine outside and I can open the blinds. I need more than a lamp for adequate light. ... More

We've been here a few weeks now. We had our walk through with Bill two weeks ago. So far the only thing that has been taken care of is the oven replacement because it was leaking gas. I was getting sick. My Dog was sick. The gas company came out and turned off the gas. My husband had to confront Bill the next day to get it taken care of. Bill says that it walk through issues will be taken care of next week. I hope so.

Our sales consultant, Lisa, was terrific! She did all we asked and more to make our new home purchase smooth. We were surprised by a few minor (though not insignificant) discrepancies discovered just after closing, but the construction manager eventually addressed them within our first month of occupancy.

One of the most disappointing aspects of the finished product was the painting, inside and out. A lot of places were missed and the drip spots were not cleaned up.

Lisa was fabulous to work with. She was very knowledgeable, easy to work with and accommodating. Robert was a fantastic project manager.

The community, location and amenities are fantastic. Quality of workmanship and materials should be a separate category. The things in the home that take it from ok to great are missing. The build process interspersing location of builds and completions could be better. A new owner should not be put into a mindset of having to worry about what might go wrong hearing and seeing what your neighbors are experiencing.

Del Webb homes are very beautiful. The quality of the workmanship in some exterior and interior finishes could be better.
