Del Webb Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

Overall it was a avg experience There were things that we would of liked to do but they were not a option..we did see alot of waste going in the dumpsters during every home build. With the cost of lumber we were amazed! Since this is a new community and we are at the begining of the build hopefully it will reach the standards of other del webb communities..this is our 2nd del webb home. Thank You

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

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

Finish work very poor Community overbuilt for its amenity center

All fine until after settlement when building manager stopped responding to communication leaving several issues incomplete

Great location with close proximity to beach and necessities. Friendly neighbors and nice amenities. Home has nice open concept and favorable features included huge MBR and bath, screened in lanai, convenient kitchen with huge pantry. My main disappointments has been with the interior and exterior paint quality. Paint has peeled in my garage and the exterior hardie boards show some bleed through in spots. All this could have been avoided if the builder would have spent a few extra dollars and PRIMED and added an extra coat of paint. I also have issue with the landscaping. They planted nice plants but they couldn't spend the extra dollars for some quality top soil. The sandy natural soil is not conducive for plant growth and the poor drainage in front of the home has resulted in the lost of two azaleas already. Mosquitos are starting to be an issue also. I feel if the builder would have spent a few hundred dollars more, I probably be giving them at least a 4 or perhaps a 5 rating. ... More

Just ok no great. Average

Pulte seems to build a very solid home , would reccomend as builder Some of the materials need be upgraded . Issues that need to be addressed are still not resolved since 7/30.

Had major issue with laundry room door wall not square and thus it was not parallel with the hall-way flooring then the laundry room itself had its own tile off another 5-10 degrees off parallel. Wall around shower was off perpendicular about 5 degrees and really showed with more space of wall at top than bottom by the tile. Many windows were not trimmed parallel or square. While these were all fixed within 2 weeks of finding them and right at closing, they would not have been fixed if we had not come down to check on the house 2 weeks before closing. Found an entire cereal bowl full of construction debris (masking tape ends, insulation, electrical wiring trimmings and a metal key) in the sink disposal after we closed. Still have not gotten a master bedroom towel bar re-installed, after it was removed to fix the shower wall not being plum issue. Many imperfections in the plastering on corners and trimming that did not show until we got the entire house interior painted. Many electrical outlet and switch cover plates are not square/parallel with the follow (they look crooked to the naked eye). Lawn is full of clumps of some wild grass that should be pulled by the landscapers since it is their responsibility to take care of the lawn. Some floor molding is separating from the wall and showing a large crack/space. Caulking would make it look better but nailing it properly would fix it correctly. ... More

Kitchen cabinets, Kitchen quartz, floors, tile in bathrooms beautiful. Paint and trim finishes terrible. I'm sure we will need to repaint the entire house. Fingers crossed they repair our wood finishes, baseboards, crown, etc.

Mediocre construction and responsiveness overall.

Ensure ALL issues are resolved BEFORE CLOSING.. walk thru weekly if possible near the end of the build and insist that all is resolved. Look at EVERYTHING meaning open cabinets, drawers, look at finishes, etc

The beginning of my process was great, good communication, pre-sheetrock walk through good, regular updates. The final 45 days not so good. My builder representative did the surprise, it's ready early after telling me the house would be ready later for months. Then 2 days before closing wanted to push closing for a few minor things - all theatre! Do not close if you have even the smallest items outstanding, it's almost impossible to get them done after closing. Pulte may build a good house structurally but the finishing of the home & attention to details is of poor quality.

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

Poor interior paint and workmanship. Poor quality paint on walls and woodwork. It appears they were in an extreme hurry. Shoe molding unfinished and not nailed down.

Going through the model was wonderful. It was beautiful but going through my house was a shock to say the least. I have stains on the cement walking up to the house and that is just the beginning. One of my French doors going into the office still needs work done on it and that's not happening. My counter top I sealed and yet found scratches and small divides. My windows would not lock, the dishwasher would not dry. The floors in the bathroom have paint drops that I need to scrub out. Outside I found that some of my siding was not nailed into place. The list continues. Yes Del Webb has gotten back to me regarding most of this stuff and making it right. I'm a first time buyer and this is going to be my forever home. It needs a lot of work to make it right. Also, when I moved in I realized that my neighbors can see me while in the shower if they want to. I would have thought that being so close to one another that the houses would be situated in such a way that you wouldn't see your neighbors. Nope, and I need to put a film over my window in the bathrooms. For the price I paid for this house, I'm very disappointed with everything that is wrong with it. I have talked to a couple of my neighbors and they have had good experiences. I guess this house is the dud that happens to someone in every neighborhood. ... More

We were told before signing a contract that we could put a pool table on the second floor (lie). Our original closing was 30 March, but the house was far from complete and all the engineered hardwood floors were damaged from paint and spackle and needed replaced. There were numerous problems, but we closed on 12 May. Pulte has been good about fixing the numerous problems, such as the island cabinet damage, no blind on one window, leaking faucet, outer garage wall not sealed from outside, GFI not working. The drywall lines look like a 10 year old did them. There was saw and drywall dust caked on every door/window frame. I pulled down the vents and filters and almost an inch of dust came down from both. The HVAC unit in our attic had enough dust to fill a 20 gallon shop vac. ... More

Came in with low expectations on quality from this builder and was not disappointed. From low end cabinets and barely meeting building codes the house is as expected. We liked location and moved with friends who wanted to live here so we got what we expected. Homes are WAY over priced for what you get but we knew that going in. No one to blame but ourselves

I wouldn’t do it again!

Way too many poorly done items that I am still trying to get fixed or replaced. The paint job was messy. Trim was painted without cleaning it off first so imbedded dirt in the trim. Many light areas where coverage was thin. Several damaged items including granite and the shower stall which have not been resolved to date. I'm very disappointed with the finishing work.

Two months late on closing. Nothing for that inconvenience. At time of walk through a lot of little things to be completed and after 6 weeks we are still waiting on trim and paint. Workers are scheduled and don’t show up. I have complained about a pot-a-pottie in front of my home multiple times and it’s still there. Positive side community is nice.

The quality for a 600+ home is horrible! The paint, which was upgraded is horrible! Paint on the floor, rugs. chips on my counter that if they could not fix it expected me to pay for it. The landscaping person is absolutely useless! I had dead plants that I acknowledged before I moved in an trying to get them replaced correctly did not happen! It was not a good experience that's for sure!

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.

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.

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

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.
