Del Webb Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

For the most part the home buying experience was good. I bought a spec house already under construction in May 2022. The price I paid was much higher than what a similar spec house is selling for now. So, I don't feel that I got a good value, but I guess that's market dynamics. I wasn't given the opportunity to add or make changes and was basically told that everything had already been ordered for the house. I was disappointed that the drop zone wasn't included or the cabinets over the butler's pantry. The quality of the house seems very good. I love the cabinetry throughout the house and the granite counter tops. The appliances seem top notch although I wish the dishwasher had a stainless-steel tub rather than plastic. There are a few minor details and painting flaws that need to be repaired such as no paint on some trim at the base of the cabinets in the kitchen and the stickers on the windows certainly should have been removed. Also, the attic drop down does not open as the stairs do not clear the opposite wall and will not fully come down. This should have been inspected and corrected prior to the sale. Determining the closing date was a little stressful for me since buying and selling involves scheduling other folks, movers and utilities. They were noncommittal on this and once it was set and I was told the house was finished, they tried to change it again a few days before closing. That was the only time, I got really upset since I had already scheduled movers, utilities and notified the buyers of my former house. It was not changed so I was able to move as scheduled, but it should have never been suggested. I am still waiting on a response to my repair requests, but it has only been a few weeks, so hopefully, I will hear soon. The neighborhood itself is beautiful as are all the amenities to include the Ocean Club. I am overall pleased with my purchase and would recommend the neighborhood to others. ... More

Finish work very poor Community overbuilt for its amenity center

Pulte cannot be trusted to construct a solid home at DelWebb grand dunes. We have had nothing but problems since moving in. Although there was a tension given in the first 30 days it has fallen off significantly after that. The quality of workmanship is terrible. Not one door was painted properly; neither the top nor bottoms of the doors were sanded and painted and there were many doors in need of a complete re-painting. The wall paintings were never cut in at the top or bottom moldings. There were pieces missed and whole walls need to be re-painted. The kitchen counter at the breakfast bar and the island needed a complete replacement as did a lot of grout work which is still not satisfactory. It doesn’t appear that there is one square wall in the entire house and studs are placed at 20 inches apart and not the standard 16 inches and although they say this is to code it is also to cut down on construction costs. We are grossly unhappy after having paid 1,000,000+ dollars to live there. And I haven’t even mentioned the landscaping. There are so many weeds growing between the slabs of grass that it’s embarrassing that this is their quality of workmanship. I have not met one homeowner who doesn’t complain about the construction quality of their home. There is a serious problem with Pulte management. I tried to call the vice president of operations for construction and never returned my email or phone call. This is unconscionable. ... More

A lot of probably moved in here July 5 , Communication problem with the work that supposed to be done. at my walk through and a lot of things weren’t done they told me it would be done right away after two months nothing is done. a lot of texting emails A lot of talk no action they told me a Gentlemen be in touch with the five working days were already past eight and there’s been no conversation yet. when is the work going to be done?????? I feel like company doesn’t really care but they took my money with no problem I pay cash, so if you guys really care about my review have somebody call me one of the bosses and I could tell them what you’re doing wrong down here they don’t care about the people. Honestly I think the surveys not gonna do anything anyway have a real boss give me a call so we can talk about this can imagine I have a thermostat for my hot water heater so my water is not hot the shower they knew this at the time but nobody told me , have a real boss give me a call so we can resolve , maybe they can set up a meeting I have all the homeowners meet you guys and tell you what’s going on.good luck to me ...

These homes are put out so quickly that not even the paint jobs are finished before closing. There are so many areas that need to be addressed it's quite infuriating for the amount of money I spent to own this home. There is not one home in this development that was move in ready without a list of issues..They just spit them out and you are waiting and hoping for a reply to address the problems.

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.

I had a great construction manager. No issues there. Pulte Mortgage is horrible. I wish I would have not let the builder incentives persuade me. I would have still bought, but used another lender. The stress that they put my family through was not worth the money for builder incentives. We shall see how well they respond to issues because I have some open work orders. I don’t think that their homes are worth the market costs. The amenities at Del Web are great. Pleased with my community

When we closed on our house they hadn’t even completed painting the exterior. Our patio and lanai where pitched so when it rained, water was settling and pooling near our foundation. The concrete had to be replaced. Some of my floor boards had water damage, all of my kitchen cabinets are defective, the glass in my shower is defective and the workmanship of the granite installer was unacceptable. It is 6 weeks later and the only thing addressed so far is the concrete, which they had to take up and redo a second time. There is damage to my fence,and new sod has to be laid. They have scheduled appts to fix the other things but who knows if they’ll show up? They only show up about 50 percent of the time and leave you waiting all day for them. I love the layout of my house but it certainly is not of the quality I would expect from pulte. ... More

For the price of our Del Webb home I expected a much better outcome. Our sales person & final construction manager we’re TERRIFIC, but the workmanship was HORRIBLE! I will be filling MANY imperfections, sanding, painting & fixing many outstanding issues myself.

Tim is A GREAT FIELD MANGER. Also Shannon is A GREAT WARRANTY maager. both these men responded to my request during the building process (Tim) and after the closed of the house (Shannon) is still working with us on the warranty issues. Ifeel Tim and Shannon are a ASSET to the Pulte Group.

We love our DW Dunwoody Home plan, our location and amenities offered. We are so thankful for our latest construction manager Rob who has handled our home issues with amazing response times and follow ups.

We recently purchased a villa in the Del Webb community of Grande Dunes. It was a great experience; so glad our realtor took us there. We love everything about our new home and community.

We love our home but found the local construction team not to be customer centered and did not supervise the work by the different tradesmen. We experienced a lot of quality issues. Thank goodness the Warranty team is experienced, responsive and willing to make things right that should have been corrected during construction. right.

As first time having a home built we found the process in purchasing the home went very smoothly. The home was finished pretty much on schedule. What we found was that the painting and finishing touches. Overall a good experience.

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

The purchasing and planning was very good, Lisa, our sales person was very helpful and responded to any questions we had in a very timely manner. Our design team was also great and helpful with our decision making and putting our home together. The building on the other hand was very frustrating. Our home sat very long periods of time with nothing being done only to have many issues upon completion that we have addressed ourselves. We have been in our home now for a little more than a month and are still waiting on cabinet doors and drawers that were talked about at the final walk thru. Workmanship was the absolute worst, too many things to mention. ... More

For those who live a long distance from Myrtle Beach, it is important to visit the construction site at least a month or two prior to the planned closing date, and probable again two to three weeks prior to closing. You will want to attempt to resolve any issues prior to closing to the extent possible, and these visits are more likely to make you aware of any possible issues.

Holding out on rating the builders a five star until we see if they fix the water issues many of us are having. We bought in here because there was a very low possibility of any flooding. But...in the two months we have been here we have seen some very real issues that could cause major problems. Apparently, Pulte is on it and we hope that they find a resolution. Then ...five stars!

My sales agent was wonderful, very knowledgeable, and helpful during the entire process. The shining stars in this community for sure. The construction is below my standards for a new home quality build. Communication was good throughout the process but falls short after you close. Getting the building/construction manager or his supervisor to respond to your concerns has been a challenge. When they do it's a brief one-sentence answer and not what I'd call great customer service. There are issues with the home, mostly cosmetic in nature, however, a few issues need to be addressed with the construction/landscaping also. I'm faithful that the issues will be addressed slowly, however, if the quality was there, to begin with, it would be much less aggravating for all involved to deal with after closing. The subcontractors they are using do below-standard work in some cases and they are difficult to communicate with. I understand this is a track builder community, however with the Pulte name and this price point I expected a much nicer quality home and experience. ... More

Ok sad ,disappointed paint ugly, still trying to clean pain up , trying to get things fix have 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.

Pretty much a very frustrating experience. Poor workmanship and very poor response at area t number of repairs. I would not recommend this builder to anyone.

Mediocre construction and responsiveness overall.

The community and people are wonderful. However, everything from picking out your first options to settlement was and still is stressful. The options are so many and not very well explained. The walk through before closing was postponed for four days because house was not professional cleaned, paint on new floors and carpet, and many other things. I’ve been here six weeks and still have things not done and now need to use a portal. Absolutely no one checking contractors work.

We have had multiple quality related issues particularly with finish work. We are on the 5th crew to get problems fixed over a 2 month period and the issues aren’t resolved. Our lawn looks like they planted mostly weeds and DW/pulte is not timely addressing this problem. We would not recommend buying from DW/Pulte.
