DiVosta Homes Reviews

Overall the house is what we expected, just minor repairs needed to be done. Great communication with Divosta team (sales, repairs). Happy with my new house

We have been enjoying our beautiful new home.

IslandWalk is a great place to live The home designs are varied. The inside design is poor as cabinets are very small, closets are small, causes limited storage that you have to spend additional money on once you move in. No pocket doors make for poor design as one door opens to block a door behind it? Very odd and poorly designed. In a positive note construction was right on time! The supervisor in charge of my home building was Carson, I must say he was easy to work with, very responsive to phone calls from me and really explained everything before, during and even after I moved in I would call him, he always responded quickly and always concerned, he deserves a raise!! ...

Ask more questions at design center about quality of upgrades to be purchased.

Most subcontractors are on piecework contracts. We have found a few of these companies to be poorly managed and their workers lack training. Painter has many items to correct and was a no show for first appointment. Kitchen cabinet had to make two tries to correct a pull out shelf that kept coming off the track.

Things to stay on top include communicating with the person that schedules the closing. In our case, we scheduled the sale of our old home based upon the feedback from the project manager. Our new home was ready two weeks before we were and we had to negotiate an earlier closing date than expected. Since we were paying cash for our new home, we had to close on our old home first.

Happy with the house have had a few issues that are being responded to

Be careful with upgrades, especially built-in kitchens. You're upgrading for appearance and think you're getting top quality but you're really not given a choice of appliances. Kitchenaid now has a recall on their cooktops and only one option exists that will fit. For us it's not an acceptable option and although money is offered to compensate there isn't anything that fits short of reconstructing the countertop and space below. Not enough time or money to cover that. We love IslandWalk and overall love our new home but the standard appliance packages may be the way to go. You'll have better choices to work with if something goes wrong. The management team is great. ... More

Lots of little things that need to be fixed

We would recommend more attention to fine details with respect to the finishing craftsmanship of the home. Items like grout finishes are sloppy and electrical boxes are out in crooked. Small details make all the difference to the consumer.

Only part of this process that I felt was unfair, was that every little thing is extra and feel very stressed out after leaving design center, although Jen was amazing to work with. But Divosta really should include more as standard instead of upcharging for every item.

Overall we were satisfied with the quality. Main disappointment is that floor and backsplash tiles and especially white grout throughout the house was not sealed by the builder. Having found out at walk through right before closing, I sealed what I could right before furnishings were moved in that day. After 1 month, already some stains that I am unable to remove with the builder's suggested cleaning materials and methods.

Our sales representative was excellent from contract initiation through closing. Initial warranty issues were very slow to be resolved. Our lawn was dying due to irrigation not working. After opening four tickets with Sunny Grove landscaping and subsequent meetings and communication with our management company’s general manager over a five week period we may be seeing some improvement. However, there has been NO response or follow up from SG or our community manager.

Quality needs improvement and much more oversight of trades

Shawn, our project manager, did a great job in overseeing the construction..he was short some "subs" due to hurricane earlier, but was able to maintain the date he originally stated..DiVosta should feel fortunate to have Shawn in their employ as he is very professional..

House was neat and clean All extras and finishes were completed and well done Some cosmetic touch ups must be completed( ( 30 day list)

First. Did not expect perfection but home not built close to perfect. Luckily, we had a fantastic construction manager, Shaun C. Many of the various non Divosta construction crews were not great but acceptable, workers with very little concern for quality and Little attention to detail. Others crews were very good House does requires quite a bit of tlc after purchase. House delivered clean and mostly complete All in all A good experience

Our 4th Divosta home. Enough said.

Brittnay from warranty has been persistent and effective in addressing our “ punch list” in a timely way.

Love the home, but delays made it rough juggling things around until closing took place. Availability of materials were very frustrating.

Overall a great experience, however lots of cosmetics issues that I had to call out/bring to Customer Care/ the Field Manager's attention to be addressed after closing.

Love this floor plan and all the space.

Nice home and well built.

We love our new house

Does an overall decent job from start to finish.
