Del Webb Reviews in Houston, TX

There were lots of hurdles to overcome. The designer was incredible. Closing was pushed back 3 times. The first notification came so late that my belongings were in storage and I was due to leave my state in 3 days. I was compensated so that's a plus.(Closing was over a month delayed) Then, we closed and I could not move in immediately because there was an issue with the front lock. I closed on Friday and the door was repaired on Monday. Further, there were other little issues. I contacted the customer service team and BINGO! That representative was on top of my list. Truly, Megan restored my confidence in the process. From flooring, tiling, concrete work, lighting and carpentry, all issues were addressed and resolved in a short span of time. That's quality! So, be prepared for multiple delays. In the end, everything does come together and you'll be happy that you took the plunge. Happy home buying! ... More

It was a bumpy road during construction. Project manager unresponsive to issues found in house during construction. Warranty group now fixing those items after we moved in. Felt not heard during construction and it’s quite inconvenient with a husband at home on Hospice from Alzheimer’s. I’m really not happy living in a construction zone with items raised during construction now being corrected. It’s very disruptive and difficult because of my husband’s illness.

Overall experience was great. I had one hiccup in my building process, but the issue was resolved as best could be. I feel some of the tiling and caulking could have been done with better attention, and I didn’t feel I received good instruction on some of the details with the sprinkler system that caused me to have a huge water bill. Overall I’m please with my home and neighborhood.

House had several unfinished items when we closed. It’s been 3 weeks and all items have not been satisfactorily finished

This community has an HOA on steroids. Fees to make improvements such as gutters and generators etc. are insanely overpriced. I feel robbed every time i have to pay one. A nominal fee maybe, but this is rediculous.

On reflection we realize we needed to have spent even more time considering all the options being offered.

Anthony made the experience during this unusual time very easy, he kept us up to date with the delays and worked hard to get house finished. My only complaint is the painting and calking are not up to the price paid for home.

During the build process it seemed that it was more important to rush through the job rather than take a little more time to get it right. They reworked our ceiling three times before they got it right instead of taking time at the beginning. We have issues with doors not closing or being stuck and an electrical issue with the lights blinking if we turn on the vacuum or blow dryer but overall the house is nice.

I wish that workmanship and materials were separate categories. The materials are exceptional. We have built houses before and were impressed at the quality of the materials from concrete slab to joists and flooring. Workmanship on the other hand is good but not excellent. There is no pride in doing a job well, but seems to be a goal of getting the job done fast regardless of outcome. For the most part we are still happy to be here and feel we have a good home. Pulte could make them all GREAT homes if they would slow down and make workers accountable.

the people here are great. more friendly than any place we have lived quality of construction is fair I would more here again because of the people

Many areas of sloppy painting. Paint specs left on floor and bathroom appliances. One of the crown moldings has sub-par wood that was just painted over. Doors not lined up to operate correctly. Divot in dishwasher door. One by one major items are being corrected. Overall happy with the house but expected better workmanship.

We are very happy and satisfied with our house and our builder Randy was excellent throughout the build process. However, Significant portions of our sod was loaded with crabgrass, in fact 2.5 rows of the sod in back were all crabgrass. Additionally, the sprinklers in the back do not cover the backyard. We also noticed our landscaping was of significant lower quality than our next door neighbor who also had Pulte landscape. This appeared to be cutting corners at our expense on a house we paid close to $550k for.. so the yard, which we are working to remedy is a disappointment - the house is exactly what we wanted. ...

Very satisfied with the neighborhood and the development. Quality was okay, but Del Webb responded well to any issues.

My purchase was not typical. I did not contract to have my home built, it was available because the original buyer could not complete the purchase.

Our home purchase from home selection to interior design to financial closing was handled very professionally. Staff throughout the process was the best experience.

Every detail of a new home upon purchasing is alacart and adds money to your bottom line. Homes are listed as a basic home without any of the features one sees in a model. Be prepared. Earnest money is double what most builders require. Be prepared! Having your own realtor is very helpful to look for hidden fees that might be negotiated.

Skill and dedication of individual Construction manager assigned to your home makes a HUGE difference, good manager = good building experience. We had a very good construction manager. Paying attention to construction process either in person or via video calls is very important. The construction managers have many houses, you only have the one. We are pleased with how our house came out and we were fortunate that we had no major problems. But, we did encounter some issues as we went along, but caught them early and they were corrected. Pulte was responsive and has been helpful with loose ends after we moved in. Some upgrade options seem overpriced, but maybe that is the times we now live in. ... More

My field manager was awesome

All in all we had a good experience with this builder.

Quality was good in most areas. There were areas, however, where it seemed that the idea was to just get it done and not worry about how it looked. Examples: Paint sprayed on the window frame, nails in siding not driven in properly, sod layed in such a way that the yard is uneven and full of holes and landscaping planted haphazardly.

The team was very responsive to our needs in the building process but there are some issues that need to be addressed presently which hasn’t been done yet?

Everyone was very polite and positive throughout the process however communication between the different teams was nonexistent. The sales team failed to write the contract as a contingent of current home and so the loan team was difficult to quantify for short term loan. Very confusing and frustrating. The design process was amazing, however please note that they only use white paint on the interior even if you choose a different color on the island cabinets the back will be painted white and looks odd. Any correction to the original paint shading will cause over spray on the floor that was not cleaned properly. Choices were very limited ... More

The neighborhood is great! The neighbors and activities are welcoming, very friendly, and fun. The lifestyle director is outstanding. The build and purchase were hit and miss. We had four different salespeople, our construction manager left just before we closed, and I think we're on our fourth service representative. The design center was very good. The construction manager was ok, but not very attentive or communicative. The cleanliness of the construction site was not good at all. The final quality of the build seems to be pretty good and I'm happy with it. The warranty service follow through has not been impressive. We have issues that have been open for several weeks. We are enjoying the house and enjoying the lifestyle. Happy to be here. ... More

Watch what they do, make sure they get it right.

It's unfortunate that one bad experience can ruin an otherwise excellent product. Our garbage disposal was destroyed by a golf ball size glob and other pieces of hardened concrete or grout left there by workers. After some back in forth with the Pulte customer service personnel the disposal was replaced by a plumber. I hope this shoddy workmanship is not repeated elsewhere in the house.
