DiVosta Homes Reviews

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

We closed on the builders deadline and had to wait three hours at our closing for them to secure a certificate of occupancy from the county. Went back to our home after the closing to find debris and unfinished items in our home. Not a pleasant closing experience at all. One month later we are still waiting for punch list items to be completed, our liaison at DiVosta ignores my emails, contractors don’t show up equipped to do repairs due to poor communication with DiVosta. This is our third DiVosta home, but nowhere near the smooth process of the others.

Such a difficult time to buy any home including a new construction. Just trying to secure a lot is stressful and difficult to do. So many variables that affect the building process make the next steps as stressful!. But in the end we love our home!

PM was great to deal with during difficult times with subs and materials due to Covid. They only give you 30 days to find problems which is not enough time because of moving delays and issues. They do have a one year warranty on structural items.

The actual build experience was good. Our construction super, Bill Novels, was excellent. Good follow through and communication. The problem we're having now is the follow through on items that were not done properly the first time. It seems like it takes weeks to get any follow up. I wish I could say that all the issues were minor, bit for example we have a large bump out on the wall in the master bath. It's on the side wall of the vanity and it sticks out about 3/4 of an inch. We can't have a mirror installed until it's fixed. Additionally the quality of the workmanship was fair at best. We had paint splatter all over the tile floor, the master bath vanity lights were not centered over the sink, the exhaust over the stove doesn't work, there's a cabinet door in the master bath with a hinge missing a part, the front door was missing the top hinge pin and the bypass doors in the third bedroom closet are installed improperly. We are out of town right now and the drywallers wanted to come, after waiting since March 27. I'm hoping when we get back that all these issues can be fixed. And one last thing, when are the refrigerators coming in? The loaner we have is terrible. ... More

Once they have your money, the love ends

This is the 6th new property for us. The most expensive, but not the best by far. The general design is only average. The guest bath and closet are really small, but they're needed because there really isn't room for two in the master bath and closet. There was only a single towel bar, so perhaps it's a home for one person. The shower has no comfort features. Curb appeal outweighs the actual product. It might be better not to ask for this feedback.

Once the Building supervisor has completed his punch list and has turned it over to the warranty department good luck. Excuses then remedies

My home construction process went very well. My CM was a good communicator and he was very responsive. But....6 weeks after closing my pre-closing punch list plus subsequent warranty lists are still not resolved. I have had to really raise a fuss, which I don't like doing. Multiple emails, warranty requests and follow UPS aren't working. And the sewer backed up in my home and no one has offered to help sanitize that mess. I had to clean it up and complain until they finally sent someone in to test for mold, bacteria (almost 2 weeks later,). That is very disappointing. Will I buy another Divosta home? Probably not. ...

CM and boss were great. Good solid house. Finishes leave much to be desired. Finish carpentry and drywall work were sub par. My backsplash telework had to be done 3 times before it was acceptable. Pulte needs to train and hire some skilled laborers, not just laborers.

Your representatives were very responsive until the day of closing. Since then, promises made are so far just promises. We are also hearing similar complaints from our new neighbors. Not really big issues, but we get the unmistakable feeling that now you have our money, your concern about our approval is less important. We have not been contacted by Aragon pools ever, after a few phone calls to them.

Over a month before we closed on our home we noticed the landscaping company had put a very large growing tree almost on our property line in the back yard. We had many conversations with Pulte’s people about moving the tree to the left hand side of the common land where another tree is but it’s dying. Prior to closing we were told that Pulte would move the tree. We are having a screen enclosure put up for many reasons but one big reason is the amount of bugs. It is not possible to have the screen enclosure as long as the tree is there.

Knowing about the DiVosta we were expecting more professionalism, espessially regarding responding to numerous issues. Several staff members, that supposed to take care of our issues, got fired and nobody notified us about that. Because of that we lost time. The work order, that we were waiting for a month and a half, didn't occur and we were notified only on the day it was supposed to happen. We delayed our plans to be at the property on the scheduled date, but it didn't happen. And now we have to spend money on additional flight to Florida to be able to let the vendors in and supervise the repairs. Some work orders were not fulfilled at all and we had to pay out of pocket to fix them ourselves. ... More

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.

Our 3rd construction manager was the best! He help us navigate everything and was honest

I’m still trying to have outstanding items resolved. Having to constantly follow-up, contractors not showing up as scheduled with no follow-up. This has been putting a strain on my work schedule.when a contractor does show up, we find out that the work order is partial complete creating additional follow up from my end. Unfortunately not the experience I was expecting or hoping for. Maria

Be careful as they will tell you one thing and do another. While we love our home, we have lost trust with Pulte completely. Our appliances were on backorder and we were told they would arrive 5 days post-close (this was told to us in writing). Post-closing, we were then told the date was not accurate and there is no ETA. Pulte is now saying they will not provide any credit or allow us to go get appliances, we just have to sit and wait. Totally unacceptable as they have made this exception for others. Unfortunately, this type of discrimination and action will only be resolved via legal action.

Lots of problems that should have been resolved before closing

We knew understood post close would exist, although the responsiveness and delays to resolve issues have been unacceptable. For example, the sprinkler near driveway was broken, submitted a ticket on 2/16 and still not fully addressed. The other example is the electrical issue, light switch controlled multiple wall outlets and canned lights. They should be independent of each other.

The workmanship is substandard. They use quality material but there execution is sub standard.

Unfortunately we did not have the greatest experience building our new home. I understand there are uncontrollable issues that come up but our closing was delayed numerous times totaling over 3 months. We had 3 different construction managers including 1 that was fired during our build. We were not local for the build so our home I feel did not get the attention it deserved. Our neighbor would call and let us know no one had been working at our house for weeks at a time.

We love the location of our home. We are happy with the build now that it is complete. Was a slow process (15 months) it failed inspection twice… glad there is an inspection process!! As they were corrected… Still waiting for community amenities to be complete - over 2 years and still waiting for many in the community. Taking too long not enough people working on the pool, sport courts etc… area. They need to focus on it! Not selling more homes

There is a huge labor shortage.

The paint job inside is pathetic. My father was a builder and I worked for him. He would be immensely disappointed. The slightest marring or touching, the leaves a mark. They need better painters and more concerned with detail. We paid additional monies for a handicap roll in shower, this is FLOODING. We've advised them of such. It must be re done asap. Of course, due to this C o v i d all entry to home has ceased. The concrete garage entry has cement cracking on lip. The impact windows are scratched. The baseboards by shower were left non painted. Should have used tile or painted baseboard. There's a HUGE piece of missing drywall where kitchen cupboards were installed. There are numerous cosmetic details and a few structural issues needing attention. Paint that was sprayed on floor tiles. ... More
