DiVosta Homes Reviews in Palm Beach County, FL

- be prepared for mismanagement of expectation throughout, lack of communication and responsiveness & resolving of these issues. - understand "their" level of tolerance from the builder, vs your own level of tolerance / acceptance -- for example I have two walls e.g. kitchen counter that are 100% crooked, not even close to being straight and I was told "this is the level of tolerance by the builder" - It could of been put up by a small child. - be prepared for A LOT of issues when you move in - we had: -- no electricity in the front of our house for 5 days, I was told it was a small issue but it clearly was not, they were here for 3+ hours ripping sockets out of the walls. I was told the house was set up incorrectly - not ideal and not delivering confidence in my purchase. -- the wall sockets from the electrician are still hanging out of the wall, it's been 2+ weeks waiting for a plasterer and painter to stop by -- floor tile cracked in living room -- Window cracked -- no mention of anyone coming by to fix it (noted at closing) -- office doors need to be replaced -- no mention of anyone coming by to fix it (noted at closing) -- master bedroom door damaged -- no mention of anyone coming by to fix it (noted at closing) -- shower tiles now cracked -- no pressure in the guest shower -- no pressure in the main shower -- blockage in the master shower -- ANTS -- THOUSANDS of ANTS -- we now have an infestation of FRUIT FLIES -- our garage was not cleaned for over a week, covered in plaster + dirt -- when we closed, there were no keys for our house and no one seemed to know where the keys were. First day one in our new house, we finally had to call a locksmith at 11pm on a Friday night to get us keys to the house ($400 later) ... More

It was quite a painful experience. Unresponsive upper management who directed their efforts to build their spec homes and neglected the already contracted homes. Delays after delays, blaming it on Covid then on workforce then on materials. Meantime they built numerous spec homes that started a year after I bought mine. The house was not completely finished but I had to close because of rate lock issues. Six weeks after closing there are still electric wires hanging out of walls and ceiling, the front door cannot be securely locked and none of the punch list is completed….This isn’t what I expected from this builder. ...

I was hoping to get the same quality I saw on the model home. It is difficult to see every detail on a short period of time. Once I moved I realized that all openings are cut in diagonal. Even the main door has a triangle on the wall. Sliding doors are not aligned, pocket door in the bathroom detached in the middle of the night within 17 days after moved. The quality control on the construction is terrible. I have never seen a construction like this. Appliances had to be leveled. The appliances cannot be any cheaper. For what we pay to buy one of these houses we should get much more.

Overall, the design of the home is great. There were minor issues upon moving in that could be expected with a new home, however, customer service is horrible. Difficult people to deal with after purchasing - rude and seems to be condescending to women.

60 days later And my list of issues still not taken care of. I want appointments for any workers coming to my home. I think 60 days after closing my list of shoddy workmanship should be completed but it’s not! I’m weighing my many options...

Happy to discuss with an individual

Walk thru was conducted prior to settlement. The items were never followed thru for its completion. We closed almost two months back. Issues are still outstanding. Similar issues with management company who never gave us the second car gate access decal and the one they gave never worked.

Buy as few upgrades as you can. Better to upgrade yourself.

They have you close on a house that has many imperfections and promise it will be taken care of right away- well a months later, nobody comes back totaled care of any of it. Frustrating!

More than helpful to purchase a home but come time to close there were many things not explained to me in the process so that when it was time to close I was left very disappointed that things were not the same as the model home I was shown. The quality of workmanship was less than par. The cabinetry I paid for an upgrade for all wood was thermafoil. The tile work was sloppy. The foundation is not level. The back yard is not graded properly and floods onto back patio. The pavers were chipped and broken. the gutters were smashed in on sides. The ac filter was filthy and so was the house. It was not professionally cleaned. The ATT conduit was missing and needed to be put in so that I could have phone and internet and tv. I had to wait three weeks with a temporary line that was installed around the perimer of my home which was cut twice by the lawn people. The lawn and construction people keep throwing trash on my lawn. The construction people were still using my water for hook up to another site for days after we closed. I still have ongoing issues after two months of closing. ... More

I wanted to sell the minute I moved in. Things I was told was done wasn't done. Warranty services called several times and never call back. I gave up.

People were still working on the house when we walked into it after closing.

Been living in my home for almost 2 months now. Received a call that our gas range was being delivered, no one told us that the one we already had was not the correct one. Gas range was delivered and couldnt be connected so now it is sitting in my living room. Also, my FPL account is sitting in limbo because there was no inspection in the beginning which is required for service to be activated. We were told lies from the beginning and now things are still a mess. Horrible experience!

The quality of workmanship leaves alot to be desired. Lots of damaged to impact sliding glass doors, doors didn't lock, wrong handles on doors with daylight showing all around the handles. The employees talk a good story, but once you close it is almost impossible to get them to come back & fix items. This is my opinion.

The craftsmanship is not on par with price. House was delivered with many items on punch list to be fixed. It has been close to 45 days since closing and Divosta has yet to start fixing things

Extremely dissatisfied with how DiVosta has handled our new home and closing.

Not the quality I aspected. Still having issues Would not recommend to anyone!!

With Pulte/DiVosta you definitely do not get what you pay for. House is hot with AC at 71. Seams of drywall visible, but told the are “within tolerance”. The sub-par-contractors are not held to any quality standards. Just rush to get the job done to get you to move into your home. Even with a “warranty” everything is “within tolerance“.

The day of closing was to be a day of celebration in our new home. To show up for closing to find workers still working and painting. Everything was rushed for closing day and the quality of finish work was extremely poor. After three days of waiting for workers to finish fixing list of items no one would come or answer my calls to find out what going and why our place is not finished. Floor not cleaned, a lot of paint drops on floors from sloppy painting. Quality of painting very poor and sloppy and a lot of spots missed. Many areas on walls and trim work had damage that was just painted over and not fixed. Paid for up graded carpet and padding and the padding was not upgraded feels like walking on cement and very bumpy. We love the community and everything else. Its just your day of closing should be a day of celebration, and to be rushed to close and find many thing not finished and very poor quality finish work ruined our day of celebration. We still have 39 items not fixed ... More

This is our third New Build Pulte Home in 8 years - Our first house in Willowsford VA was a mess at closing - Our second house in Sonoma Isles took two extra months - but we felt that was acceptable b/c there seemed to be contractors working and it was during the tail end of Covid. This house in Bridgewater we were told that it would take 8 months to build. And that only the best contractors would be working on our home. It took almost 18 months to close on the house and it was still not 100% ready. There was a big delay in the permitting process to get our house started. Then the house sat for 3 Months and no one told us that there was a structural issue. Then no one would tell us when we could expect to close when we got a letter from Pulte on get ready to expect to close. For the amount of money that we paid for our house - Pulte fell way short of delivering on expectations- We paid a premium for our pool and it was not and is still not ready / fully functional since we closed. We have been in the house for five weeks and we still have no answers on our punch list and our heater in our pool is not functional. This is a horrible experience- we have purchased 4mil in homes with Pulte and because of us we have brought in close to another 10 million in referrals to Pulte only to be treated like we were buying a 400k house - This house should be a million dollars less based on our experience and the overall craftsmanship… ... More

If you’re entertaining buying an expensive home from Pulte in a $2 Million + neighborhood - save yourself the aggregation and do not! They are out of their league at a higher end price point. My 10-12 month build turned out taking 15 months with zero changes during the build.

We were happy with our sales agent, project manager and house closer. But but….. We deeply regret putting our trust and investment with your company. We were mistreated and lied to by your mortgage company’s incompetence who did our mortgage. We were overcharged for your product. We will not refer our friends and acquaintances to do business with your organization.

Still waiting for many repairs to be made

The overall experience has been extremely horrible. This is also the same for many neighbors we have spoken to in our community. The houses are being closed without being finished and the construction managers are not really inspecting any of the work done on the home. In our personal experience we had a driveway done in the incorrect width and the construction managers did not even know what the correct width should be. In addition, we had walls that were not straight, floor tiles broken and stained (cement and paint). Also when we brought this up to the warranty manager we got a different answer than the construction manager. We ended up escalating our issues with the company VPs and they could not believe what was happening in our home, but still things continue to be done incorrectly. This is only a very short summary of some of the issues we encountered with Divosta. My recommendation to future buyers is to look at other companies to buy a new build home. ... More

Not only was the home delivered 7 months after the scheduled date, but the quality or workmanship is horrendous. The follow up from Divosta sun=b contractors is non existent. One day in October 5 different trades were scheduled to show up and make repairs to items listed in the pre-closing walkthrough. Not one of the five showed or called and now, two months later we are still waiting for the cabinet contractor, stucco contractor, countertop contractor and window contractor to make the necessary repairs. I have windows that don't open and no one seems to care how dangerous that can be. I have built multiple new homes and have never experienced this lack of workmanship or dependability. ... More
