DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

DiVosta offered excellent home choices in the Islandwalk property. And the communication with the various teams was very consistent - from sales all the way through to the quality team at the completion of the build. I'd highly recommend.

We are still waiting on refrigerator, front door sweep & permanent WINDOWS on front of home . We closed over a month ago.. so very disappointing!!

My home was not completed before I moved in.

Great quality, customer service is awesome! I’ve purchased 4 new builds in several different states, this by far has been my best experience. Thank you DiVosta Homes!

We had a very pleasant experience

There are a lot of small issue.i can see a push for the timeline to get done before closing. Door painting issue. Counter top issue. Door cannot close easily. AC whistle both inside and outside. Both toilet have issue to fix. Electric outlet issue. Even the window is installed Wrong Still have not replaced yet. 50+ days after closing. Are uou kidding me asking about quality?

Everything was easy and on time.

This is the fourth house we've built with DiVosta, and have always found them to produce a good product. Our home is comfortable and well-built. We have the whole house done in tile on the diagonal and the tile work is beautiful. Great job by the tile person! The best part of living in the community is the wonderful people - very friendly and cordial.

Divosta are a friendly team but that doesn’t fix the quality workmanship… When building make sure you visit the site on a weekly basis. Especially before drywall goes up!! Lots of the structure are not installed square. When inspecting everything make sure to take a speed square and a 4 foot level. We have been in our place for 2 months and they are still fixing things. Hope this helps.

This was our first home build. What should have been an exciting time ended up being very disappointing. We had little communication and site manager changes as well as faulty equipment installed in our home. Now we can’t get the fridge we paid for and no one is helping us find a resolution. Very upsetting.

Excellent service from start to finish. In the end they will make it all right and listen to needs and fix it.

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.

Dan went out of his way from the first time we met him to keeping us informed and always going out of his way to take care of us.

The house is well built and people very nice bu ths has been the worst move in experience we have had. We were told we could have a virtual walk through. Day of sat waiting 2 hours then informed they did not have capability. Had to hurry and clean floors before movers got here. All other moves all do moments for appliances etc were laid out on a counter. We just finished finding documents. Waited yesterday for a confirmed scheduled repair. No show.

Overall a great experience through the build process. Pulte offers a comprehensive approach from construction to financing and home insurance. Their team has been very responsive to our warranty needs thus far as well.

This is our second DiVosta house at Island Walk. There were many “issues” with our first house and we were reluctant to purchase another DiVosta house but we really liked Island Walk so we decided to give them a second chance. The resulting experience, from design issues, quality of building products, attempts to rectify problems prior to and now subsequent to settlement has been frustrating at best. Whenever we identified design limitations (this second house is one of the most expensive properties in Island Walk) there was little if any attempts by the builders representatives to make corrections or to go that extra step to make helpful changes, even though the remediation would be relatively inexpensive. When design issues or build quality issues, came to light we were given excuses or lame attempts to justify how those problems arose. I could go on but its just not worth our time. ... More

Our home is very nice and the few issues we encountered throughout the sales and building process were quickly addressed. Production building in a super heated market brings definite challenges. Both DiVosta sales and Pulte Construction staff are supportive, friendly and try their best to meet expectations. We are pleased with the outcome.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of construction and loved the built in features for pest control and attention to detail to minimize maintenance for the future. Our site manager did an excellent job keeping us informed throughout the build process and explained in detail all the construction details

Watching all the sub contractors as they build homes around us - they are forever measuring everything they do which shows in the home. We have been told DiVOSTA is one of the top builders in Florida and we feel completely safe with the high impact Windows and special weather coating they apply to the homes before they do the final painting! We look forward to living in our home for years to come.

With the current building frenze you have to watch and check on your houses progress almost daily In our opinion, some of the workmanship has gotten lower than our expectations. You have to clean up the property after the workers left everyday or those items will be buried in your yard. With DiVosta being a for profit corporation, items suffer because of costs related to profits. Combine this with the high demand for new homes we think that issues are more apparent.

First of all we had to tell construction the office window was off by three inches and not centered the double den doors. The framing in the shower was hanging over the shower pan three inches. An a nice note on the front block wall “ chip away” because the block was laid a little short as proven by the overhang in the shower pan 3”, the den window 3” off. All because the supervisor doesn’t check the jobs. Secondly the second story was supposed to be railing, they built the knee wall instead. We had to tell them to correct it. Thirdly the wood interior window sills were not level in two rooms. They were like that for months during construction until we told the supervisor to fix it. The issues in the field are caused by failure to walk the job and inspect the trades work. They damaged the garage floor with gaping holes probably from dropping scaffolding to the ground. We had to ASK them to fix it prior to closing so we can have the floor done before moving in. Many areas with crown molding awful work. We can tell non of the subs were forced to do a punch out And if they were asked it’s obvious no one checked the work Then we have the glorious walk of the house 7 days prior to closing. The walk agent placed tape on items we wanted marked down so that they can be fixed prior to closing 7 days later. Obviously the work was not completed and all of our markings were gone BUT THE DEFECT STILL THERE. Which means all those items prior to closing are now the responsibility of the customer service Warranty person. The customer service agent after closing is the only person who cared. Finally moved in and unpacked. We text both Supervisor of construction because I failed to get the direct phone number to Customer service agent. Neither construction supervisor even replied. We were not their problem any longer because we closed on the home. But to totally ignore someone was a joke. I have continued email tread keep asking and asking. And they both ignored each request. We lost The customer service agents contact info. You could be bleeding to death and those two would walk on by. We decided to report all the damaged toilet seats caused by people standing on them for 5 months. Only to be told it’s a cosmetic and not covered after 30days” Here we go!!! ... More

Well informed during the building process and questions were answered in a timely manner.

incorrect appliances, poor tile installation, terrible outlet and light switch placements. overall a terrible experience. if we didn't like the amenities of the community, we would have purchased elsewhere.

We selected a "move in ready" home and it indeed was...down to the last detail. We were paired with a project manager who has been a Plus in terms of responsiveness. So far, our feeling is that DiVosta Homes sold us a well built home in a lovely, sought after community. We look forward to spending many years here.

They do well communicating regarding timelines
