DiVosta Homes Reviews

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.

The quality of workmanship leaves alot to be desired. Lots of damaged to impact sliding glass doors, doors didn't lock, wrong handles on doors with daylight showing all around the handles. The employees talk a good story, but once you close it is almost impossible to get them to come back & fix items. This is my opinion.

Relatively easy sale everything was done electronically.

I have to say that the process of getting repairs done is not good. Even though the work is scheduled, the workers usually don’t show up. When they do either they don’t have all the materials they need and have to return, or I have to wait along time for them to return. I have spent many days at home waiting for nothing. This not what we expected at all from such a reputable builder. With that said living at Beach walk is beautiful in every other aspect.

Post closing and punch list is huge. Waited a long time for mirrors and shower glass. Still waiting on many other missing and repair needed items to complete before we can actually feel settled in our new home.

From initial excitement, promise and cheerful messaging playing throughout the model homes, quickly became silence and lack of urgency from sales, project managers and broken promises. As our home languished through a series of changing project managers, and lack of any type of communication of timelines, our home disappeared for 60 days as other homes purchased after ours, closed and became occupied. More disappointing, it was later stated that our home should never have been released, as pointed out by a Sr. Field Manager, who quote, "this is not a DiVosta quality type product home". The final insult, upon closing after a 17 month process, a plumbing system that was inoperable on our first night after close. To date, we continue to experience a lack of ownership for punch-list issues, and any sense of urgency to satisfy a customer. To that end, a detail as important as our DiVosta "Celebration" Walk Through Document with our Project Manager was never signed by this owner. As stated, this demonstrates the lack of ownership, attention to detail and responsibility throughout the build process. And with that, no accolades here from this disappointed owner in BeachWalk. ... More

Ryan our point of contact with any minor issues we encounter has been great at resolving and addressing the issues. Kudos to his professionalism. Thank you.

It is a disappointing experience because this is our last home, our retiring home, and besides being the smallest, and the third built it was the worst experience we have had as home owners. I honestly would not recommend Divosta.

We developed a solid relationship with Justin, our construction manager. his guidance and support through the construction process was very helpful as we all dealt with material and personnel shortages due to Covid as well as the destruction from hurricane Ian.

The home will be terrific at some point it has many issues and quality of workmanship is not good.

Not only was the home delivered 7 months after the scheduled date, but the quality or workmanship is horrendous. The follow up from Divosta sun=b contractors is non existent. One day in October 5 different trades were scheduled to show up and make repairs to items listed in the pre-closing walkthrough. Not one of the five showed or called and now, two months later we are still waiting for the cabinet contractor, stucco contractor, countertop contractor and window contractor to make the necessary repairs. I have windows that don't open and no one seems to care how dangerous that can be. I have built multiple new homes and have never experienced this lack of workmanship or dependability. ... More

Our builder and assistants were responsive, timely and reactive to our needs.

We just retired and searched Florida for the ideal place for our "winter home". Beachwalk by Manasota Key is the only place we found where we are 2 miles from the beach, and it is an any age development with great amenities. The building process was guided by Nadine, our constructions manager and our Salesperson Linda was also very helpful. I would also suggest a realtor to guide you through the process. We have a lovely well built home in a great location with wonderful neighbors.

There is an evident lack of control and supervision in the building of our house. Many details that should be right are not and the response to addressing the details takes too long. There should be more supervision and inspection, as well as a better post-closing service to ensure quality and generate a better buyer experience while keeping trust in Pulte and Divosta.

The home took 7 months longer than targeted closing date, but that was a supplies and labor issue. Our Field Rep, Dustin, was attentive and always answered our questions in a timely manner, but the workmanship is shoddy, at best. There is no pride in the finished product and certainly no quality control at all. A supervisor should look at work done and correct most mistakes before closing. Our pat answer was "It is on backorder." We love our home but there are so many issues that should have been addressed prior to closing. In the long run that would save DiVosta money because there would not be 50+ items on a Punch List after ownership. ... More

We recommend Divosta for your first, second, or third home build. They are very helpful and attentive. Samantha was a pleasure to deal with. Justin our construction manager has been hands-on and extremely attentive before and after we closed. Megan and Kenny from the lending team were also excellent and assisted us with every question we had prior to the close of the home.

My project manager, Pat, was outstanding. DiVosta out of goodwill fixed some of the damage from hurricane Ian even though they didn’t have to. The entire process from buying, choosing options and closing was seamless. Everyone was very helpful and polite. Highly recommend.

Im dissatisfied with the finishes. From the They look cheap. From the cheap, plasticy floor that is warped in some areas which creates a weird, dipping effect in some places where you walk. I get the strong impression that the items chosen for the home , all in white mind you, were done so due to their low, bulk price point and not one of first rate quality. Clearly no thought was given to actaul use of home and that bright white paint, cabinets etc are merely a vessel for dirt, smudges, stains etc., I hate the cheap carpets in the rooms. especially when i get to step on carpet nails. When I asked the salesperson if i could pay extra to have a different flooring put in I was told no The carpet is of lower quality as well because places are already started to wear and lose fabric. I hate the sliding glass door assembly that isnt installed correctly. From the massive , disgusting paint mark that someone tried to pass off damage with, to the the cockeyed installation of the frame. The frame has proven difficult to work as Ive tried to install a dog door alongside and it is not lining up straight so that im able to use/lock dog door etc. ... More

Beautiful homes, great people within the community. Lots of pain and suffering to get to completion. Deleted over 5 months taking T total build time of 15 months. Hard to get repairs. Imported timely after sale closed. Disappointed with all the commitments by Divista that didn’t happen. Divosta is still telling home buyers unrealistic delivery durations.

have a new man Jimmy Etheridge I am working with that seems to be resolving issues

Our 4th Divosta home. Enough said.

We are now a month past closing and we have many tile, painting, cabinet issues that were supposed to be completed still undone with no schedule for completion.

It will probably take longer to build your house than you think

Project manager was great! Very responsive and kept us informed of progress. Follow for outstanding issues has been extremely slow. Took weeks to get a response on service request. Did not get the 24-72 hour response as stated in our paperwork.

I'm still waiting for the pool company to do some replacement of pavers and to get the hot water heater working. We closed on the house 8/10/22 and can not use the hot tub because the heater does not work.
