DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Love the home, but delays made it rough juggling things around until closing took place. Availability of materials were very frustrating.

Overall a great experience, however lots of cosmetics issues that I had to call out/bring to Customer Care/ the Field Manager's attention to be addressed after closing.

Nice home and well built.

We love our new house

Does an overall decent job from start to finish.

We were disappointed that a fan on the lanai could not be installed b/c there was nothing for the fan to hang on. We have to wait for warranty when we get back in October. Refrigerator was back ordered. This is our 2nd home in Island Walk and DiVosta. Overall experience was good, just a few glitches that we felt could have been addressed w/o waiting for warranty.

Building a home quickly, comes with a trade off. Mistakes will be made. The good news is that Divosta has stood behind their product and warranty by addressing the concerns I've had since closing.

The only issue I had with building this house was the choice of interior paint colors. Colors were limited to eight choices and none would have been my first choice. Then everything gets painted that color including ceilings. I couldn't even get the ceilings painted white. After spending close to $500,000 for a house and you can't get to chose interior paint colors to your requirements was a disappointment.

attention to details by the painters.

Island walk is a great community the people have been welcoming and friendly, Divosta did a good job with us. Project manager did a great job

With workers being dedicated to each facet of construction, and a strong process, home was built in 4 months. Supervisor was very responsive and handled issues promptly. Parts of the work was sloppy - painting especially and some of the installations (e.g. showers).

Love the house but disappointed in the workmanship of the floor tiles, walls and trim as they needed a great deal of cleaning and repair.

Construction Managers do a great job to walk you through the construction phases & hold high standards for completion of work. Service after the sale... not very good.

Experience good so far

Oven not installed properly. Other obvious Workman issues not addressed

Make sure to go through every detail at the design phase. There are a few things I and they missed that caused some minor issues. I feel they rushed to closing and then leave many issues afterwords to settle. They are very responsive but I think most of these should have been completed prior to closing.

There are a few issues that Divosta needs to address. Such as many cupboard door handles banging against wall or doors. Eventually it will start denting very expensive house materials. On lanai and garage conduit running along wall covered with paint. Window not centered in den. After spending nearly a half of a million dollars needs to be more classy and professional.

great follow up on punch list. It was prompt and done correctly

The home construction and quality was very good but landscape quality was anything but acceptable. Contacted Customer Service and they pushed of on the contract installation company. I contacted the installation company and after 4 weeks no corrective action. Following initial installation, irrigation system was not enabled and shrubs and lawn had no water for 2-3 weeks during daily 90 degree dry conditions. I was told the irrigation control unit was not activated following sod and shrub install. Sad.

We love our Divosta home. Our lot is great. The construction aspect was great and our Project Manager was excellent. However, some of the items used to finish the inside we are not happy with. The tile work is awesome. Basic cabinets OK. Basic granite awful. Granite pitted and not smooth and when we questioned granite manufacturer they informed us that the granite came that way. Had I known that, I would have upgraded. The design center showed us a sample and the quality is not the same. Not a big lover of flat paint. Only other issue is mirrors. Both my mirrors have issues with the silver backing. Mirrors in horrible shape. Not sure what they're going to do about that. Pulte builds a solid home but they skimp on the finishing touches. ...

Air Conditioner stopped working after 3 weeks. Repaired under warranty

Overall positive. Sales staff excellent. Regina was great, she also assisted us with our first purchase. Once Walk thru was completed there was a lag dealing with the customer service group. Not as helpful with getting problems resolved.

Overall, our experience was very good throughout the process and now being in our home for a couple of weeks and surviving 2 hurricanes, our home held up to the test! Our only issue would be during the Design Phase. As important as this step in the process is, we believe more time should be spent with us making final decisions. We were in no time-line crunch but our decisions needed to be made with little time to delay or make changes. The other frustration we had was with Coast-to-Coast Pools and responses to our pool build. If they pride themselves with creating a great experience to this BIG investment to our home, they should have provided more attention to details. Jessica in Sales was very good and communicative throughout the process while Chas responded to our concerns when the build was underway! ... More

The entire process was fairly straightforward until the end. Divosta Sales Manager was very persistent to close on the home when it wasn’t even completed. Being out of town this makes it very difficult to continue adjusting schedules and travel. Divosta should ensure house is completed prior to setting a closing date.

I have 2 exterior doors that were improperly installed. Jams are way out of plumb. Can’t fix that unless it’s done over. They won’t do it.
