After taking ownership it’s been like herding cats but worse to address punch list items. Embarrassing for such a large company. It’s seems like the 90% rule is the norm. Strange at best.

Most of the work is great, but some of the contractors are sloppy and you need to be on top of them to get everything right.

All the people we worked with with great and responded quickly to any concerns. The only downside to the process the Pulte loan process (submitting the information 10 times in 6 months) and the amount of garbage lying around house during construction.

The entire experience was great from start to finish! From the Sales Office to the Field Manager ( who was excellent to work with) to the Title Office at Closing, everyone was so helpful, understanding, compassionate about their job and very professional

We especially enjoyed working with our Field Manager during the construction phase. Even though he was overwhelmed with responsibility, he made our project seem extremely important and went out of his way to take time and answer any and all questions we had. It was a pleasure working with all departments involved in this building process!

Love my home, but the list of unfinished items is frustrating. We have been in our home for about 7 weeks and the items that still need to be fixed are crazy. Basic items not fixed quickly!

The whole team was very professional and responsible throughout the purchase, building, and closing process. We loved working with our wonderful sales person, she alway responded and helped us with whatever concerns we had. Even after the closing they assign a manager to fix every little detail that you may not be happy about. They made the whole process very easy and enjoyable.

I believe that Divosta tries to put up homes so quickly that workmanship is sloppy. Also once you close on the property getting issues resolved is difficult and frustrating.

POOR WORKMANSHIP IN ALL AREAS

  • Barbara T.

  • Englewood, FL

TOP MANAGEMENT INSISTED ON AN IMPRACTICAL HOME COMPLETION DATE AND HELD THE PROJECT MANAGER TO THAT DATE. I WAS ASSURED THAT QUALITY WOULD NOT SUFFER UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES BY THE SALES TEAM. HOWEVER, DRYWALL, PAINTING, TILE WORK, APPLIANCE AND CABINET INSTALLATION, PLUMBING, ROOFING, AND CARPENTRY WERE DEFECTIVE IN THE BUILD PROCESS. WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR MANDATED PULTE CLOSING DATE COULD NOT BE MET THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY ON OUR 1260 MILE DRIVE TO THE CLOSING. WE COULDN'T BE MORE DISAPPOINTED IN THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

DiVosta Homes responded:

We would be happy to escalate these concerns for you if you could please email customersupport@pultegroup.com with a brief summary of the issues along with your address and contact information. Thank you. ^AH ...

Poor communication about construction progress, until we made contact with the construction supervisor. Long delays with no apparent reason. Other delays due to lack of materials and contractors - just like everything else during covid. Poor oversite of quality, however they are responding to correct all mistakes.

Divosta Experience

  • Christopher R.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • February 08, 2022
  • Sarasota, FL

We recently moved into our new house. Our total build out took about 1 year. Our original move in date was supposed to be August. We moved in officially December 31. It was frustrating as the date kept getting pushed back in 1 month intervals leading my family to constantly have to move from short term rental to short term rental. Also, we closed without our house completely being finished which is ok because we agreed to this. However, there seems to be no urgency whatsoever to get our house finished now that we have closed. We have multiple issues that need addressed.

Showing your new home to friends and family should be a fun experience, however we are totally embarrassed by the poor finish work.

  • Peter H.

The finish/attention to detail was terrible and after being in the house for 6 weeks we are still waiting for numerous issues to be repaired. Unfortunately, Pulte/Divosta cares more about moving forward on other houses now that they have our money. We are embarrassed at the quality of the finish work and feel totally disrespected.

We closed with the promise our home would be completed. It was not in a livable condition. It hadn’t been painted, cleaned and the paper protecting the tile was still in place. We had to cancel all the deliveries that day. We also didn’t have hot water and the stove leaked gas. Apparently, no one tested them when they were installed . Both were due to poor installation. The washer and dryer were not there and as of 2/08, our pool is still not functional. We closed 12/30. A responsible builder would not have allowed the home to close. One positive, our warranty representative has been ...

Incomplete home at closing

  • Dana S.

  • February 01, 2022
  • Sarasota, FL

We closed on the builders deadline and had to wait three hours at our closing for them to secure a certificate of occupancy from the county. Went back to our home after the closing to find debris and unfinished items in our home. Not a pleasant closing experience at all. One month later we are still waiting for punch list items to be completed, our liaison at DiVosta ignores my emails, contractors don’t show up equipped to do repairs due to poor communication with DiVosta. This is our third DiVosta home, but nowhere near the smooth process of the others.
