DiVosta Homes Reviews

Pleased with the construction and materials used for the most part however near the end, things got rushed to meet their goal of closing before the end of the year so the punch list was longer than expected. Interior painting could have been neater, many spatters and paint on switch plates, floor and counters. Communication with our construction manager was good but toward the end we felt he wasn’t giving the same attention to detail as he initially did when the project began. We are having a pool installed by a 3rd party shortly and our sales agent and construction manager were aware of that and given the layout, however there was poor communication between them and the project landscapers, causing plantings having to be moved at our expense before excavation can begin. ...

Closing was rescheduled twice. When we finally got into our home there were numerous defects in workmanship and house was not clean. Communication within DiVosta is very inconsistent. For the price paid one would expect a better finished product.

The neighborhood is shaping up nicely now. Most homes are being built on spec, and I think the builder has gotten its act together and quality is better, less mistakes to repair and cause delay, less disappointment.

The quality of materials and workmanship could me better. Two times tickets have been submitted and nothing has been taken care of..

Beware of games they play with pricing on their quick move in homes. We were considering 2 different homes with similar upgrades and pricing. Soon after we signed our contract, they drastically lowered the price on the home we didn't buy and eventually sold it for much less than their original advertised price. We feel that we were not treated fairly and overpaid for the home we purchased.

Just wish that I knew a year ago what I know about how this builder conducts its business. Word of advice to the next buyer, do your due diligence, take your time and have the house inspected well. It will save you a lot of headaches down the road. Don't sign/agree to anything before you have things fixed.

Everything looks better during the initial sales showings than it is. Lots of cheap things so you have to pay to have something more decent but even that is not good, basic things like hangers for towels are missing and responsiveness to fix things is bad not mentioning more than 6 months delays without any accountability for it.

Overall good experience, albeit subcontractors need closer hands on management.

A good experience and was always informed by the construction manager Monica. She was very professional and provided a good exchange when I closed.

The lack of communication made the experience a big negative & there is no excuse for that. Our Construction Manager was great but he was put in an untenable position by Pulte. The design of the home is great & we had a lot of options to select. The workmanship was so-so. We highly recommend getting your own inspection professional. 14 months from contract to closing, with some items on a long punch list. All told, we love the community & are happy we chose to build with Pulte.

Communication during the build process was lacking at best. It was extremely challenging to build while living out of state. Buyers who could visit the construction site daily or weekly could better troubleshoot problems as the buyer had to bring them to attentions of the construction manager. Major issues, including hurricane damaged roof (September) still not repaired as promised even though damage occurred 2 months prior to closing in November. Once they get your money, good luck getting issues resolved. ZERO stars for "Responsive to Issues". (The survey forced me to choose one as the minimum). ... More

Great builder that cares about consumer experience

What started out as a positive for me and my wife slowly went downhill. Months delayed for an air conditioner handler. It finally arrives hurricane hits and the front door on the house was not installed there fore water entered the home and caused water damage to certain walls which had to be removed from the floor to 4 feet up. The entrance of the home had to be completely gutted to the ceiling due to water damage. When we closed we noticed the lock on front door installed incorrectly and closing the door can be difficult. A used stove vent was installed that was greasy and rust spots on it. Stucco on lanai walls not taken to the ground and lanai ceiling peeling in three places. Molding under main bedroom missing and molding in second bathroom gouged out and filled in with caulking. Exposed wires hanging out of garage door motor. Lock on pocket sliders was broke and difficult to lock the door. ... More

It ha been a nightmare. My backsplash has yet to be finished as well as the hole that was dug in the garage to fix a broken pipe and the floor in the master closet. I have got nothing but delays delays delays and promises and lies.

I would suggest finding another builder

I would say the whole experience was stressful. Our sales person was very nice and knowledgeable. Then you send us to a design center where we have 3 hours to make all of our selections. Pretty much everything on the model homes is an extra and if you makes changes after your original selections even if it’s way before construction the change orders are very expensive. Construction took a very long time. Our construction manager was very cooperative and responsive however it seems he didn’t really have much control of times. Of course we understand these were difficult times during Covid. At the end it was a rush and a lot of things to do for closing. Since moving in it seems like every day there is a new issue. Overall quality of work was good but far from great. And material is low quality! ... More

Buy a existing home.

Incredibly poor post-closing service on construction deficiencies. Long list of problems never addressed. Lots of promises, few results. Outrageous service.

Despite longer than expected building time due to trade and supply issues nationwide , we are very happy with the choice we made . After moving in , any issues we had were or are being addressed immediately and resolved . Would chose again

Shoddy workmanship and no customer service

I love the home, Divosta/Pulte however does NOT tell you when there are problems until they can't avoid telling you. Permitting, supplies; these delays are kept secret as long as possible. The building of our clubhouse and pool is a current example.

Our sales agent was always there and responded very quickly to all issues during closing. During construction, the superintendent also addressed all concerns and kept us updated on progress and problem resolution. This surprised us for a large company, the team exceeded our expectations and provided a customized service throughout the whole purchase experience.

I was extremely motivated when I first got involved with this home purchase. Fortunately I was in the area the last month before closing, and was able to identify the issues with the vendors. Trying to do patch work to make a closing date quickly. Even after closing I still have issues and await g the quality assistance personnel to bring vendors back to make corrections. I don’t think I would do this again.

Did not feel like a personal experience. Even picking up the keys was unpleasant. After some confusion they handed us a folder with the keys and we had to come back later cause the house was not ready yet! Because this is a big builder, there are too many departments to deal with. If your salesperson or the building manager aren’t great, you’re left at your own devices. Don’t ever think the craftsmanship of your home will be close to the model homes. Installation of appliances and especially HVAC were done half hazardously. There was no feeling of customer service throughout the process. Because of supply issues and labor shortage our home was delayed, but had they been upfront about it it would’ve made things so much better. It was a power struggle each time we tried to understand where we were in the process. I believe that buying from a smaller builder might be the way to go for our next home. ... More

After 2 months in the new home the punch list has still not been taken care of. The a/c has failed once, the electrical went out in 3 rooms and the warranty department would not show up and an outside company needed to be called, the backyard floods and there are numerous defects.
