Del Webb Reviews in Austin, TX

The development is well planned with lots of landscaping, walking paths, nature trails and friendly people and the weather is great!

Tim in sales and David from Austin Reality introduced me to the community values that made the decision to move 1500 miles comfortable. Their support during the build process was above and beyond. Connie in design, provided material recommendations that look spectacular in my new home. Lori turned the final weeks of construction turn from stress to a celebration. Mary in warranty was awesome walking me through the process with kindness every step of the way. My neighbors are like extended family.

Having lived in several states, and multiple homes, trust is hard to come by. This builder is definitely the definition of trustworthy!

Attention to detail was awesome with Pulte. Also the workman were very knowledgeable and worked quickly.

Overall a pretty good experience from start to finish.

Excellent floor plan. Appreciate how I was kept up to date. Disappointed in the interior painting and air conditioning unit didn’t work after moving in.

Eddy Huncherick did an outstanding job in helping us navigate the building process.

The Pulte/Del Webb team does an adequate job in building quality homes but seems to leave details to clean up later due to the rush to get you to the closing table. Communication between home builder and buyer also leaves a lot to be desired as phone calls and emails are often ignored or given a delayed response. With that said, we are not unhappy in our new home and the community is great.

Notice mistakes or they will not be fixed.

Pulte was very responsive to the quality related issues encountered. We saw shortcuts that led to some of the quality issues.

Sun City is beautiful and I do believe there will eventually be many activities. We are currently playing golf, going for walks on nice broad sidewalks and in beautiful wooded areas, and attending Spanish classes and some other groups of interest on Zoom. The neighbors are wonderful people and very friendly. I was frustrated in how little time we were involved in planning the house and how poor some of the communication was. The outside brickwork and inside tile work was highly professional. We didn’t get the tile we requested in the kitchen; there were serious problems with the floors, and much of the work inside and out was sloppy. Outside, at the bottom of the bricks, there is visible black fabric sticking out, and there are strings hanging out all around the house. The cement on front porch was not smooth, and there were paint spots on the bricks. A large orange stain was left on the driveway. Inside, texturing was uneven and poorly done in some areas, mishaps in painting were not cleaned up, scratches and dents were not filled it, and at least a fourth of blue tape markers of cosmetic problem areas were ignored. We still love Sun City and would do it again but I believe the builders need more training, better equipment, and more supervision and direction. I would tell a friend to but a spec house or a model so that they know what they are getting or to purchase the least expensive choices and then have the floor, tile, lights, etc. put in by professionals. ...

We bought the same model we lived in TN. Loved the size. Not too small and not too big

Lots of room for improvement for Pulte: 1. Be forthright at beginning how real estate fees are managed. If client does not use a real estate agent, this fee should go to benefit of buyer. 2. Have drawings to show what is “standard”, so that you know what your base is when Selecting options. Pulte refused to give us base model electrical drawings for house despite our repeated requests. 3. Hire workers with minimum level of craftsmanship and improve quality control procedures. We had numerous examples where the construction quality was poor. Split studs and bracing, large gaps in caulking, poor paint coverage, poor HVAC pipe routing, etc. 4. Maintain continuity of personnel instead of continually switching Construction supervisor personnel and responsibility. You could never be sure your concerns were being managed. 5. Better show which is /is not optional on models. Pulte uses a “change order” strategy for many items that would normally be considered standard. ... More

All employees are very good and our home closed on time and I love it.

Very nice house.

Melanie and JL made the entire process very pleasant.

We felt confident that JL was following up with all construction issues that came up! His attitude helped reduce the ordinary stress involved with building a new home.

We were told we weren’t getting a custom home but it would be a quality home - swing and a miss on both. Disappointed.

Be involved with the process. Take advantage of offers as well as advice from the Pulte representatives. Be imaginative and have fun. Meet your neighbors. Get involved. It is the Sun City way!

Every house I see in Sun City has a rain sensor with a bracket on their gutter. When I looked for mine it is sitting in my gutter. So I am thinking why would someone just put my rain sensor in my gutter instead of using a bracket like everyone else? It did not fall there someone had to do that instead of doing it right. That is my reason for the low rating.

The design and quality of cabinets is disappointing. It’s a basic cookie cutter house at a premium price.

Quality and workmanship is absolutely awful. Huge lack of pride in workmanship, interior finishes and if their clients are taken care of. The construction crews are some of the worst in the business.

too hard to get attention to get small things fixed.

Been very good to work with during all the challenges during construction and virus issues

I love my new house and I would expect there to be problems. Dell Webb has been responsive to all my concerns thus far. I have some unresolved problems that I’m hoping to have taken care of fairly quickly. As I cannot tell you how well they did in resolving these newer problems, I can say that I have no reason to believe they will not be handled in a timely manner. All in all, I think I have a great house and purchased it at a great price.
