DiVosta Homes Reviews in Indian River County, FL

I was extremely disappointed with my experience. This is the second home I bought here and the first one the experience was great. This one has been the total opposite. I bought the model home, which I understand is a spec home and I understand that there could be some nicks and dents, basically cosmetic, things that need to be fixed and I accept that and have no problem with that. But the spa does not work, and hasn't since I purchased the home, which is attached to the pool. There is no panel to operate the pool and you have to climb over pool equipment to even turn the pool heater on. They basically put in a pool the cheapest way possible with no way to control any functions other than go out to pool equipment and start climbing over it and turning valves. I was told to get spa to work I have to blow into a hose attached to the pool equipment. There are holes at the bottom of all drain spouts since they did nothing to deviate the stream of water away from the house. When it rains heavy, there is a gap between roof line and cage for pool where torrential streams of water come in onto lanai so not able to put any furniture there as it would get damaged with every rain event. There is no working fan in master bathroom. The front door does not close properly, and it is hurricane proof but any big gust of wind will blow it right open since it opens in instead of out and the door handle is loose. Electrical outlets in floor are non-functional. Cabinet doors have gaps so that you can see inside the cabinets - not installed properly. cracked tile in bathroom upstairs. Garage floor has two big stress cracks. The house has speakers throughout the house but no one seems to be able to tell me what they connect to. House has an alarm panel, but again, nobody can give me any details. Was told it would work with Xfinity and Xfinity just laughed and said impossible. And I could just go on and on. While in my previous home if I called with a problem someone was at my door within minutes to address it, here I'm mostly ignored. Was told to call Schlage and tell them I need a new door handle, blow into a tube to start spa (great idea during a pandemic). Was told cabinet doors would be corrected - didn't happen. Was told to get some river rock and fill in the holes created by rain creating holes every place there was a rain spout. Seriously?? Basically was just given stupid answers to real problems to make me go away and not bother them. I am sorry I ever bought this house. It has not brought me any joy so far, just aggravation. Plus I received two letters prior to my closing stating that if I did not close in time I would be i default and lose my deposit, even though I signed the Agreement of Sale contingent on my being able to get a mortgage without first selling my other home. They wanted to close on this house before their fiscal year ended and a week after I closed they started building a house a couple of feet from mine where it was just landscaping, trees and shrubbery and grass. So now I am dealing with construction noise and dirt on top of everything else. I just cannot recommend them to anyone at the moment as it seems that once you sign those final papers you are just an annoyance to them to be dismissed the quickest way possible. ... More

After 2 months in the new home the punch list has still not been taken care of. The a/c has failed once, the electrical went out in 3 rooms and the warranty department would not show up and an outside company needed to be called, the backyard floods and there are numerous defects.

When you buy a new house you expect that there will be some small issues. You don’t expect that the lights will fall out if the ceiling the doors won’t close the roof is leaking and nobody seems interested in fixing it. The fact that the daily rain is running through the electrical fittings in the bathroom and tripping out all of the electricity doesn’t seem to be a concern that needs to be addressed in addition to the fact that the ceiling will collapse if this goes on much longer. Still can’t open the sliding door to get outside. Not what we expected at all

Not only did we pay extra for, and not receive event for our stove that now is a major problem to fix that will cause all kinds of issues in the kitchen, but our bathroom is pitched in the wrong direction. Someone from Divosta came out to check it and make sure that all was well, only to find out that the entire floor needs to be completely removed and repaired. This will take days. In both of these major repairs that are required, constant damage is being done until the repair is made. Sorry I listened to anyone who told me Pulte and Divosta were quality builders.
