Del Webb Reviews in Austin, TX

A pleasant and easy experience throughout the process.

My overall experience was very positive. I'd like to give a specific shout-out to my salesman, Jim, and my WONDERFULLY responsive construction manager, Adam. This process can be daunting but these two really helped make it an exciting and enjoyable journey!

Followed Del Webb/Pulti Homes for many years. Was impressed with finished product until now. Materials and products (kitchen cabinets, trim work) are not good quality anymore. Quality of some of the subcontracted work (painting, drywall, landscaping) is very poor. Subs have very little pride in workmanship. Project Mangers have a rough job trying to provide a quality product with these conditions

After being in the building industry ourselves for the last 30 years, the quality of materials and the workmanship are the worst ever. No insulation, walls not plumb, studs 24 inches apart whereas in most building codes they are 16 inches apart. Cement work was awful, no way did a Georgetown building inspector inspect the inside of this house before giving occupancy, thresholds not finished, drawers and doors on cabinets not screwed in properly, takes forever to get hot water. The list could go on and on. I would not recommend anyone buy a new home built by Pulte in this community.

Overall great experience. Could pay alittle more attention to building details and finish out. Very quick to resolve issues.

We liked our Sup who got us in our place just in time. It seems that the house is well built. There was some difficulty getting updates at the outset.

Good job ,well done thanks

This is our second home from Pulte. We found the workmanship to be very good. It is well insulated and the attention to detail from our construction Manager was excellent.

Great people and service throughout the building of my new home in Sun City, Texas. I gave mostly 5 ratings, but did give a 4 rating in 3 categories and here’s why: QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS: - supply chain issues delayed completion of my house by almost 6 months. This was NOT Pulte’s fault but was very frustrating. -so many different people were in and out, working on the different aspects of my home. I did periodic checkups throughout the building and several times the issue had to be re-done again, sometimes more than once. However, my Field Manager, Edward Huncherick, was on top of it EVERY SINGLE time I called him. He and my Sales Rep, Jim Lanier, deserve ALL the credit for how much I am loving enjoying my new home. VALUE FOR YHE PRICE PAID -Again, I gave a 4 instead of a 5, and again, I do not hold Pulte responsible. I just think the entire realty market is out-of-control and houses are overpriced. VALUE FOR THE PRICE PAID: -This goes along with the comment directly above. I know if I were to walk into the sales office today and contracted the EXACT same house, land plot and options/ upgrades, it would cost me approximately $90000 more, so that looks like EXCELLENT VALUE. However, because of that out-of-control market I mentioned, hopefully that value will hold and maybe increase more, but there’s no way of knowing unless I sell. Regardless of my lower ratings in the three categories, I LOVE my new house and the 55+ community lifestyle and amenities. Probably one of the smartest moves I’ve ever made!!! I recommend Sun City very strongly!!! ... More

To long to build house poor workmanship

The house is/was as expected. We have had an issue with the Oven Microwave unit. Oven does not heat above 260 degrees and we anticipate receiving a replacement on 11/14/22 which is 58 days form our move in date of 9/22/22. I asked our construction manager for paint codes, exact color or interior touchup paint and never received s response. I also asked for the trash cans for the trash cabinet to which there has been no response. We finally located the correct size and bought them ourselves. The sod we received was infested with grubs and bugs and we have had to resod the lawn. Otherwise we love the house. ... More

First and foremost, we're very happy with our house. We love it. We would do it all over again. We think it's a well-built house and a very good price, and the Pulte folks were very pleasant to work with. The design of the house is perfect for us. Pulte has quite a remarkable system for cranking out these houses. Where things fell short was in the finish work. A lot of it is shoddy and appears to have been done by people who were in a hurry and/or weren't really skilled at what they were doing. So far, Pulte's customer service has been pretty good about fixing things, but there are still several things that need to be corrected, and things that can't practically be corrected. We also encountered issues with grading/drainage on the lot and are still working that out. So we're not blown away ecstatic, but we are generally pretty happy about the way it turned out. ... More

I did not realize how energy efficient a home could be until now…

my experience from the beginning to closing of escrow were good. People I dealt with answered my questions and were pleasant .

We feel we got a great house on a great lot. We love the plan-it's very open. The things that need to be fixed are small items such as fixing up painting, drywall repair. Pulte is very good about getting back to us to correct issues-before and after we closed. Del Webb communities are a wonderful place to live!!!

Lot prices are ridiculous and makes it a poor investment.

Too bad I didn't have another choice in choosing my home builder. It wouldn't have been Pulte.

Our general super was excellent and very responsive. The warranty team is the best I have ever experienced...and I have bought many builder homes over the years! The whole team holds vendors and subs feet to the fire until the punch list is complete!

Fixed contract..no surprises. Great home value. Overall very happy.

This was a bad experience from start to finish. I couldn’t re on end this for anyine.

The installation of my lawn was a failure . The dead patches are obvious even after I had a professional service work to save it . I realise Del Webb ( Pulte ) does not guarantee the installation; however , they also did not insist the work was done properly . House construction was fine , the lawn was not .

We were told false statements that we relied on. We will have to pay an additional $11,000 to get cabinets we were informed by pulte we would receive. We should never have closed. They did not honor their commitments.

Not pleased with some of the workmanship/material and cleanliness of the workers otherwise all is well and responsive team

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 fact that my home sat stagnant for 6 weeks. The cabinets in the kitchen are a level 5 upgrade but have so many issues such as nail holes, light rail installed crooked, and blemishes - they look so cheap for an Echelon Series home. Tile is cut so badly in master bathroom - clear caulk doesn't hide the imperfections. ... More

These three individuals made this entire process very easy and basically painless.
