DiVosta Homes Reviews

The sales agent and building supervisor were fantastic. Pulte cuts corners on quality and the landscaping they put in is poor for $500,000 + home. Their communities are very nice but KEEP an eye on your home while it is being built.

I think the inside paint could of being better quality,, every time there is a scuff mark on the wall and i try to clean it the paint rubs' off

We were excited and eager to move into our new home at IslandWalk. However our disappointment started with a call from Pulte Mortgage indicating that that they needed a last minute form to close, with less than a week before our scheduled close. “We’re really busy right now,” was the explanation. Finally get keys to our dream home, and immediately notice the lack of attention to details: the final cleaning was terrible - dust and grout on tile floors, paint in carpet. Appliance handles were assembled without removing plastic - now we have scraps that we have to try to remove. CAT 6 outlets not labeled, garage door opener poorly wired. Tile floor is uneven - poorly done. Overall - meh. ... More

House was not ready to be moved into. It was not clean and many items that were suppose to be fixed were not. These issues were identified in the walk thru. We have built 4 houses and this one was the least ready. Follow up on issues has been good but some still remain unresolved. I understand given the times we are living in it will take additional time to resolve these issues.

Our sales guy was great, field manager etc. very inflexible on the options and not enough time to decide on options. Follow up has been very good. Nicole and dime you on everything.

We love our new home but find the response to fixing post move in / post closing issues to be very slow and have some "no shows" when work is scheduled. Would love a phone call even if appointment cannot be met and has to be cancelled and rescheduled.

Need to know what does not come home that you have to pay extra for

Building the home went very well. Field manager was great. The only thing that was not explain very well. I was made to understood that shower has a bench seat for $700 dollars. What I got was something that is useable ! My foot just about goes on it. Getting things fixed after moving has been slow but only have been in for 1 month and nothing from the walk through has not been corrected. They say they are working on it.

Main problem is cardboard on corner of master bathroom is still there and during walk through she said it would taken care of. Several problems on construction has been detected but was told to wait until the 11th month to report them. Also 7 or 8 bushes are dead in our landscaping

Nice house.

Overall the experience with DiVosta was a good one. The house looks great and we are very happy with it. There was a relatively significant issue with the lanai that was due to a complete lack of communication by DiVosta. It was resolved but DiVosta would not take responsibility for their actions at first. Eventually we settled on splitting the cost of the remediation. Otherwise, a very good experience.

Very happy to have bought a house from divosta we love the area, house, and all the neighbors .. It was a fun enjoyable buying process

The experience with this builder one of contention. We had a disatrous experience with our initial rep, Chris, but came back after speaking with our new rep, Gladys. She was responsive and extremely receptive to our multiple questions. You must remember that these homes are not custom built homes, you are buying stock items from the builder. The home is a well built home. You are buying the experience of living in a community so choose wisely.

We love our new house in Talon Preserve! The community is great and can't wait to meet more people. We found the value for new construction to be very reasonable compared to other properties that we looked at. There were many options available during the design phase. Wish we were allowed to do some other customizations. The workmanship could better with a little better attention to detail - everyone we know has had issues and requires fixes that often take a while. Shaun, our building manager was GREAT to work with!

Wish I was kept amore informed in advance about important dates while home was under construction.

Love the design of the house! Our construction manager was great!!! The only thing is we r having some minor issues and still waiting to hear from someone to resolve them.

Home buying and preclosing was great. Very flexible. Great sales rep and project manager. Warranty department needs a lot of help and follow thru with communication. Original punch list items still not done. Schedule a ton of vendors and none show up. I understand some but all.

The Talon is a lovely community and we are satisfied with our home but we have had some issues with the responsiveness of the warranty department. Too many phone calls and emails ignored and/or not responded to in a timely manner.

Everyone we worked with through the whole home buying experience with Divosta/Pulte were and have been wonderful. We are a little disappointed with the quality of workmanship for the amount we paid. This is most apparent in the tile work but can also be seen in paint in drywall. We love our new home and appreciate the work that went into it but would have liked a little more attention to detail. Thank you.

DiVosta has much to learn on controlling waste. Surprising an organization of this size doesn’t want to control costs. I get finding workers may be difficult but the various trades should be more respectful of the trade or work that was done at the site BEFORE them. We are thrilled that we had the right Construction Manager, Patrick, as the total project went far better with him at the helm. He’s is hands on and was sure to check on items and respond promptly.

I am happy with my purchase. There are some issues that need to be addressed, and we will wait to see if that happens. Most disappointed in the landscaping company (SunnyGrove) and in the amount of trash the construction crew leaves everywhere. I am also upset that the amenity center is not open and doesn't seem to have a date to open. This was one of the main reasons I chose this community.

Everything that DiVosta/Pulte tell YOU the consumer about expecting the best is REALLY not what you get! Though our Project Manager Dan is a pretty great guy, he can only do so much with what he has to work with. The quality of the workmanship is HORRIBLE, especially when paying this kind of money for housing. There is NO pride in workmanship at all. I guess we never understood "production" building before. It's a pretty 'slap it up" kind of mentality, just get it done and worry about the customer;s dissatisfaction later. The finish on ALL of our walls is like nothing we have ever seen before, and the use of chaulk in the corners to rectify walls that are not plumb is unbelievable. Paint is everywhere, chaulk around the baseboards is horrible. The problem is, if you complain and request to have things fixed, it takes you forever to get it done. It IS better you do it yourself because then you know the quality , BUT, that isn't right after paying so much for a FINISHED, home. BUT, I truly believe that is what DiVosta/Pulte banks on! That the customer gets fed up and does it themselves, thus saving the builder the time, and money to get it done right. IF these were isolated incidents that would be one thing, but when entire communities are talking about the same "issues" you KNOW that it IS a problem. I have had people tell me that ALL builders right now in our area are the same way. Well, that does NOT make it right! We were TOLD to "expect the best", and that we would be receiving a high quality, completed home upon closing. So far, a month out, we have not. And though Dan our Project Manager has done a lot to get us there, we are NOT close to the finish line yet. ... More

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

I was never shown a selection of pools available to select. Seems as though the design professional was discouraging us due to the backlog pool company had. We ended up with a standard pool which was not what we preferred.

My home owners guide boasts the build quality experience and customer satisfaction. Still waiting. I will say warranty is doing their best to correct all the issues with the house, but I do not feel that a new house should have had so many failings in so many areas.
