Del Webb Reviews in Austin, TX

The home-buying process was extremely easy and well-explained, no complaints. Rachael, the design specialist, was fantastic. The choices of finishes are pretty expansive, and if you have the money, you can buy most everything. Due to the cookie cutter nature of Pulte builds, however, we could not get things like an outlet in the floor of the office, multiple paint colors, dimmers on any of the lights, or a wet bar. The kitchen and bathroom cabinets are definitely “builder quality,” and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about that, unless you do it post closing. Overall, we are very pleased with the process and the product, and would recommend … as long as the buyer does not seek a true custom build. ... More

Although we are very happy with the home, we’ve lowered our ratings as a small issue (identified in the pre closing inspection) remains unresolved - despite repeated promises to address it.

Our home buying was so pleasant and all that were involve was amazing.

Sale was great so pleased with the staff. The few problems I have had they fixed immediately, very professional. I love my new home!

Sales staff was most helpful and fully answered all questions. The construction manager quickly handled the few issues that were found and a few we did not even see.

Sun City definitely is great place to stay and retire. Pulte as a builder is just an average builder compare with the rest of the builders in greater Austin and particularly in Georgetown. Pulte has great floorplan and option, but workmanship and materials are again just an average (nothing to boast about it). The price of the house itself is overvalued but again being located in Sun City it is a fair price

The cost of the home after discounts was still high for the market and the appliances and many of the finishes are low quality. I felt pushed to use the builder's title company and the builder did not cover many of the typical seller's closing costs. I was told it was because the discounts were applied to the price of the home rather than the closing cost. However, the cost was high for the market and significantly higher than the appraised value.

Home is beautiful and everything I wanted. However, the landscaping is substandard. Sod is 50 percent crabgrass and I was given one dead tree. I pointed this out to the site forman and he called the landscaper who said the tree is only in shock. All the leaves are brown and falling off. The tree is dead

We love Sun City, our lot selection and house. Terrible landscape and sod job. No gutters means beds wash out every time it rains.

The entire process was very positive and enjoyable. Highly recommend the Pulte Team.

It is first time to move in a new constructed house, though I had owned 6 houses before. Interior and outdoor nice. Kitchen has many built ins which is very convenient.

Buying our new Sun City home was easy. We purchased an inventory home so we didn’t go thru the process of working with the design center to pick out flooring, fixtures, tile, etc. Escrow was quick and easy. There were just a few items that we needed to have corrected after moving in. These items were quickly fixed. All in all, it was a great experience and we love our home.

Builder process was good. I felt like they kept us informed as to what was going on and at the end went over all the features of the house in great detail and provided amazingly helpful information on how to maintain a number of features/devices in th house. Really love that!

Home seems well built with minimal "new home" repairs. Customer service on "repairs" is good. Unfortunately, the process of getting a mortgage through Pulte is a real pain in the butt. Multiple "reps" and "advisors" involved and none of them communicate with each other=confusion and incomplete directions. The Sun Cities are great, but buy a resale home, not a new home.

Save your money. I bought a $150,000 KB Home in 2005 that had zero upgrades and was more focused on craftsmanship than this $650,000 Pulte home. Baseboards and door trim cut short and filled in with caulking. Wavy baseboards down the wall. Trash drawer bearing falling out. GFCI breaker keeps tripping. That's little stuff. I'm waiting on the big issues to show up. I doubt this house will last over 10 years without a serious remodel. Additionally, if you live in an unfinished neighborhood, you will be living in a dump with constant junk in the street and trash (Beer cans, food wrappers, construction materials) in your yard from the construction workers. Pulte doesn't make them keep the area clean. The only positives is that it energy efficient and Pulte does respond to warranty calls. Unfortunately, we had to buy new build as we are under 55. Our plans are to sell this one and buy an older "non-cookie cutter" Dell Webb built home when I turn 55. ... More

After closing, it has been a nightmare. I have had multiple warranty issues as well as poor follow thru from the builder. Still living out of boxes because issues haven’t been resolved since Closing on May 21, it’s now July 5. My life, my schedule has been disrupted,disregarded and disrespected.

The home experience was great.

Huge disappointment with construction and delivery. Still open items from the initial walk through over 2 months ago. Home was embarrassingly filthy at delivery. Sales was spectacular but construction sucks!!!!

Our Del Webb home was everything we could imagine. The house is well put together and the attention to service after the sale has been excellent.

Working with the Pulte group was very easy. Every part of the process went very smooth.

..nice finish out and good value ....

One third of my backyard I have no access to. Wasn't told I would have access to this part of my backyard unless I paid for a ladder. Why would I buy a piece of property that I don't have access. I've gotten no help with resolving this problem.

The buying and building has been a very easy process. The Pulte/Del Webb people we've dealt with have been awesome.

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 incorporated in my house. They did their best to fix them after the fact, but I cannot say that is Quality, since they would have gone unfixed if I hadn't insisted. ... More

We think we made the right decision in moving to Del Webb, but were surprised about how many items in the house that we thought would be included, cost extra, driving the price higher when we had to make our design selections, months before the build (and could NOT make any changes). We are disappointed that the house seems "low end". The quality of some of the materials and labor are sub-par. If your expectations are low, this would work for you.
