Del Webb Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

Project manager is assigned many houses under construction which takes away from the personalization that they should have with each new home built. When it comes to workmanship, there isn't any. Slam, Bam, lets get it done.

Poor quality in construction, items such as paint, tile, trim (inside and outside), bathroom caulk

Sales person shouldgive more in Salesperson should give more detail info on does and don'ts before 2 days before closing. Should be given at contract signing day. More follow up. Just want sell and move on to next customer.

Overpriced homes with basic quality of features and lack of attention to detail. Overpriced design features with limited design choices. No flexibility in design features as per model. Final move in quality lacks completion of all tasks. Still have blue tape on inside and outside home of work not completed. Cleaning team is worthless with windows, appliances and floors filthy. Second sanding and painting dust on everything to included light switches and appliances. Washer water connection not checked, flooded laundry floor the first week in the house. Outside flood lights not adjusted properly and many of irrigation sprinklers were spraying where they just wasted water. Overall experience is poor and shows that building as many homes as possible is the only concern. Worst building experience I have ever experienced. ... More

Working with a builder-company has been very cumbersome. Too many people involved to get things resolved quickly (vs one point of contact) and/or spread too thin. The community itself is nice, the amenities, however I am not thrilled that I have lived here one month and HOA dues already increased 7%. One month and there are issues that were maybe part of "punch list" that are not yet resolved and I have no idea who to contact about them and get the stuff finished/corrected. I have a cracked window, have no idea who to contact about that, etc... It is not a particularly friendly community, especially if you are single - but that is not their target market. The HOA rules are rigid for my taste, some people like that and it does control the quality of the community, This was probably not the right home-buying decision for me. Hopefully I can make it through one year. ... More

I love the home. The buying experience was as good as I believe it can be. Construction Manager was very responsive DURING CONSTRUCTION but after did not return numerous phone calls and texts. Landscaping around my house was very poorly installed. It took weeks to get even a small thing addressed and the large item still has not been.

Sales staff is great and the construction process until the end was great However near the end things get sloppy and do not get taken care of as promised

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

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.

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

It is sometimes difficult to get things fixed. Flooring has been a problem of over 6 weeks and it is still not fixed. First person that came by needed to order some material. 2 weeks later another crew came by with material and then said they sent the wrong crew to fix the problem. Left the material in house and left. Haven't heard from anyone since even though I let the Del Webb person know it still wasn't fixed.

I’m disappointed with Pulte. Quality control is a major issue. The house was delivered extremely dusty and I suffered some health issues as a result of it. The paint job was terrible. The painters did not cover the floor so I had to painstakingly remove droplets of paint throughout the house. We requested brushed nickel items throughout the house but the garage ended up being chrome. The quartz counter in the kitchen is not perfectly leveled. The quality of the cabinets left a little to be desired. That said, personnel are very friendly. There is follow up on the items we are not happy with. We de love the neighborhood and hopefully we are here for many years to come. ... More

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

The house design and fundamental build is excellent and the location can't be beat, but the fit and finish of the trim and paint was unacceptable. Be prepared to redo a lot of finish work if you expected a quality job.

Project manager did a great job showing the house and explaining each part of the house. Great personality and very patience with us during our walk through. He delivered on everything he said he would.

Floor was chipped unfortunately not covered. Plant in plant bed was dead before closing builders said he would replace it and requested it. They have to close and they said it’s not covered. A few things were promised before closing were not delivered had to wait.

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!

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

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.

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.

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
