Del Webb tends to squeeze its subcontractors to the point that only the most egregious issues are addressed -- *IF* you notice them and *IF* you vociferously complain. There is no pride in the work that is done and the finishing touches are just plain missing. Regular inspection of the construction process and rigorous screening of specs are a must. Also, ensure that any promises made during the construction are in writing. But, overall, they are admittedly a notch better than some other builders (Perry Homes, K&B, DR Horton).

I’ve found several major issues with the house since I moved in and contacted the warranty division. They’ve come out to look and agreed repairs are needed, but nothing has been taken care of.

Del Webb responded:
We apologize that you haven't received prompt repair service and we'd like to look into these issues so we can help. Please email us at socialcare@pultegroup.com with a brief note about the issues, your address, and contact information. --Sarah delwebb

Not happy with our new home.

  • Thomas M.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • October 09, 2018
  • Georgetown, TX

The workmanship in our home is, to be polite, poor. Paint spatters on the floors in every room in the house. Out of square walls. Doors that don't fit the frames. These are just a few of the issues we have had with this house. We never heard from our salesman again after the contract was signed. Overall this was not the experience we had looked forward to. It's not likely that we would ever buy another Pulte home.

Del Webb responded:
We are so sorry that your experience fell short of expectations and we will certainly share these comments with the local leadership team. Please email us at socialcare@pultegroup.com if you'd like to discuss your experience further. delwebb

Experience with the builder in one word- frustrating.

  • Steven C.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • July 27, 2022
  • Georgetown, TX

I believe the builder (Pulte) builds a very structurally sound house. Very well insulated, etc. Our problem is that we got caught in the middle of supply chain disruption, COVID, the hottest market in the country (Austin). It took 14.5 months to build our house. We could not get ANY completion dates on the house until days before closing. A person cant plan a move without a closing date. The finish subs were horrible. The painter was doubly horrible. Pulte's CM was a really good and hard working guy but he was overwhelmed with a huge workload. the clear solution would be been better ...

Nice house but with unresolved issues

The level of overall communication during the construction process and also the follow through on commitments to resolve issues was very disappointing and in many cases non-existent. It’s a nice house, but issues remain.

Extended time it took for build vs estimate. Quality control is at best average. You need someone watching every step of the build to insure things get done properly.

Lack of Construction Oversight and Reliance on Customers to do Builders Punchlist

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • November 23, 2021
  • Georgetown, TX

A challenging time with extreme turnover and supply issues. So it is unknown if Pulte would be different than we experienced from Nov 2020 to Nov 2021. The Pulte process assumes the work by their subs will be poor quality requiring three and four do-overs. Oversight while work is being done the first time by Pulte is almost nonexistent. Pulte gets involved after the fact when the initial poor quality has already been built in. There were extraordinary deficiencies evident during the Builders Walk-Through before Closing. The Buyers had to do the punchlist the manager should have ...

Del Webb - Be prepared for working with a production builder that has no

  • Randy A.

  • November 11, 2021
  • Georgetown, TX

Be prepared for working with a production builder that has no competition. The only checks and balances in play are the existing building codes. And remember, those are minimums. Granted, our project was hampered by the Covid pandemic and a harsh winter, but the resulting delay in material access is the only thing applicable to those causes. Neither of those have anything to do with poor craftsmanship and quality of materials. Both of those elements have left us disappointed. All we expected was a house like the model that led to our decision to contract with Pulte Homes. Nothing less and ...

Purchasing a home from out of state?

  • George F.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • August 25, 2021
  • Georgetown, TX

Our initial purchase of home was based upon Facetime photos. We were looking at 2 different models that had modifications and it was confusing. Our daughter lives in the area and we based selection upon her viewing the actual models. The sales team sent regular updates of the building progress of our home. 1 day prior to the time of the initial walk through we were notified there was a flood in our home which set the process back. Apparently there was a back up from a toilet that was left running, and the entire home was turned over to SERVEPRO. The agent and the salesperson worked to ...

  • Janet R.

The sales staff is friendly and helpful. The subcontractors are horrible. The construction supervisors we had are no longer with the company. They were terrible. We have had a positive response to our concerns and are awaiting scheduling of repairs to be made. Much time has been spent worrying and fretting about our decision to build here. We lived 1300 miles away when building took place. I would suggest if you build here, you rent here and watch every day the progress (or lack there of) being made. This was/is a very stressful time. We are being assured that all issues will be ...

Interior workmanship lacking quality. Issues with paint, garage sheet rock. Sub contractors rush through work; thereby, leaving poor workmanship. Answer is let “Warranty” take care of it. After that it is a struggle with Warranty and the sub-contractor. Lot’s of excuses.

If you have any choice do not observe what goes on during the construction phase, you will save yourself a lot of stress and frustration. Add several days to the promised completion day, in other words, do not plan any deliveries, any visits, any activities until after everything is completed and signed off on, and then add five days to that! Allow yourself time to do your own independent inspections.

Sadly, Del Webbs promise of a quality home was spoiled by the builder Pulte. Had I not hired an independent inspector the quality would have been far worse. Issues included the lot being impropriate graded so that water was channeled to the house instead of away. A crappy foundation poor. Frames that were not attacked to the footer. Broken trusses. Posts that did not go high enough to support the roof but ended in mid-air. A quality build would have included none of those. My only regret is that I was not present every day to reject the shoddy materials and workmanship before it was ...

The sales and design agents were outstanding. However, the home project manager was severely lacking in basic communication and follow-up. Timelines were promised and missed at every step. Punch list items were not completed on time or as promised. The community is outstanding, but the home building phase is poor.

The quality of the trades and sub contractors are sub-par

Building my new home was not the experience i had hoped it would be. Supply chain issues and delays we plentiful. My home was completed about 4 months past the initial completion date. AND the sub-contractors and trades were sub par. The amount of items that needed to be redone and that are still not corrected 2 months after my closing are way more than anybody should have. Since its only been two months since I closed, i cannot speak to the long-term quality of the home build

We had 3 different field managers during the process and the lack of communication and follow through was disappointing and ridiculous. It took 13 months to complete our home and the final 8 weeks of the process went well with the newlya assigned manager. My entire home was floored with the incorrect flooring and I actually brought that issue to the field managers attention! He had no idea the floors were wrong but claimed he was at the home daily. I only received information or got questions answered if I reached out to them. I did get the VP involved during the final stages due to the ...

We were excited to purchase our home in Sun City we love it here, but all the problems we had with the quality of workmanship and having them having to come out and correct them takes a lot of time away from other things we could be doing here. I wish the quality control people would’ve spent more time inspecting the homes. Make sure you look very closely at everything.
