DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Overall, pleased with the result. Some of the subcontractors were sub-pay and slapdash in their haste.

We did the entire buying process virtually, due to travel restrictions with covid. Communication was very good throughout. It helped to have a friend in the community, who sent us weekly pictures of our home, as it was being built. Very happy at Islandwalk!

Overall very pleased, some issues with pool that we are still dealing with almost 30 days after closing but I’m working directly with pool company and if not resolved I will go to Pulte. Pulte has been great to work with and being in the construction business I am impressed with how they are handling everything given the current challenges with COVID related delays and obstacles.

1. Ceiling not taped and bedded correctly 2. Walls not straight 3. Floors re "peaking" 4. Door molding 1/4 inch from floor filled with caulk 5. Painting had many drips 6. Molding not painted correctly

The home is beautiful! Non working toilet. Microwave pours out smoke. Windows don’t open. Waiting for correct refrigerator. Drywall and paint demonstrate poor workmanship. Requested tub with whirlpool. Denied. Required to purchase a tub I am unable to use. Sink drains do not hold water. Pulte Homes is trying to help with mechanical issues.

All aspects of my home building experience was exceptional. Shaun and his team kept me updated and the final walk-through was well organized. I highly recommend DiVosta Homes to anyone looking for a quality home with a customer service oriented team - you won't be disappointed!

It was mostly a positive experience.

Great local reputation as a builder helped us to make our decision to buy. They were very responsive, kept us updated and ensured we were satisfied during the sale, build and closure.

Very good initial experience with salesrep. Field manager kept us well informed during build process. But seemed they rushed through the final finishes to close before year end. Now we’re working through list of repairs that in our opinion should have been completed by builder before the close. They drove the ball down the field 95 yards but gave up on the 5 yard line ...

The final prep work was hurried to meet a closing date and many items were not completed properly requiring follow up scheduling and homeowner time. Sixty days after closing, no items have been completed.

They cut corners any time they can

Our home was finished earlier then originally planned. The builder was informative and available.

Good quality but everything is an additional option. They seem to have decided on what is best for them and just act on that. Plus options not well explained. Difficult to understand what the cost of options are. Not a good final inspection either as they missed standard promises - like outlet in the entertainment center not there & doorbell didn’t work. Minor comfort issues like minimal natural ventilation & needed door handles on large slider doors , plus no easy clean out for dryer vents a bad design. Tight quarters design, eg, garage doors could be just a foot wider for 2 cars & distance between homes just another foot would be better. Again, their philosophy is good enough, but not exceptional. For what you pay, I believe the standard options should be nicer. The follow up on installation check list was pretty responsive. ... More

We feel confident in saying Divosta is about workmanship, and their team is very helpful and friendly, I would highly recommend them.

We loved the great communication with our sales agent, the selection of quality finishes presented by a knowledgeable designer and the continued communication with our project manager. His attention to detail and going the extra mile really made our house a home we will enjoy for many years to come. I would highly recommend DiVosta to anyone considering building a new home.

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.

My family and I recently bought a house through DiVosta. If I were to say it was the best experience I’ve ever had, it would be a lie. Building through DiVosta is an experience I never want to experience again. I was expecting things would be handled by the builder and my realtor, but this was not my experience. I had to check on the house almost everyday to make sure everything was going appropriately. Very poor communication on issues that came up during the build, and even when it came time for closing, the process was atrocious. I have never been so stressed. There were even builders/contractors errors made on my home. For the price I paid for my home, I feel it was slapped together and the small details did not matter. Over all very disappointed. Also, after talking to multiple people who work for the company, they realize all the issues I brought up (ex. Poor quality of paint, subpar subcontractors, etc.) and they do not try and change it. Very sad: I would not build with DiVosta again, or recommend building with them. ... More

Knowledgeable sales people who were responsive to our questions.

I loved having a field manager who was informative, available and went over and above on several occasions.

I felt that they provided a nice selection things to choose from for a track housing development

Significant major repairs due to faulty workmanship after closing as well as numerous warranty issues that have yet to be repaired. Promptness of repair and communication with leadership is very poor.

Very good experience building our home.

Great building experience...no major issues along the way and minor issues were quickly resolved. Unfortunately, our warranty experience has not been the same. We closed months ago, and not all items on our 30 day list have even been scheduled to be fixed via the warranty department. They have addressed some items but others are still pending

attention to details by the painters.
