DiVosta Homes Reviews

Small details on finishing home.

Quality and workmanship was generally good. Very displeased with close process. We were out of state and elected to do virtual close. Multiple issues were not addressed prior to close that were promised (one still outstanding 2 months later). Home was not clean when closed and required 2 follow ups visits by cleaning crew. We ultimately needed to go through on our own and touch up paint throughout (blemishes and handprints and chunks that should not have passed quality inspection). When we arrived for closed our salesperson didn’t even congratulate us, just handed over the keys. Not an experience I would wish on others. ... More

If you are out of state, your CM will determine your satisfaction. My 1st CM was unattentive & NEVER communicated. Sloppy sub work caused massive delays. When he was replaced, I assumed he was fired, but he was promoted! My 2nd CM was fired after 4-5 months after doing absolutely nothing. My 3rd CM did push construction to completion and actually communicated. However, after a month of occupancy I am finding small examples of sloppy paint or caulk work that surprise me. A 2 page email to management mid way through construction detailing my frustration got no response. Overall construction took 25 months from signing to closing. ... More

Lack of communication in some areas. Small things that could have been seen and addressed beforehand were not, that has cost me so many inconveniences as I am now living in the home. Follow ups are subpar.

Although we had to wait three months longer to get our home, we had to go through so many challenges because of the lack of appliances which were ordered and paid for three months in advance, yet … Once we got in the house, there were a couple of concerts. Our customer service representative has been very helpful; trying to get items fixed. With the box loads of dishes to wash before placing them in the cabinets, the dishwasher overflowed; the plumber finally got there three days later and unblocked something then only took 5-20 minutes. The other major issue was noting all the little ants. gnats and flies in the house; we finally noted opening s at the bottom of the glass sliding doors was not closed off. As we continue to have dinner, we were constantly fanning, gnats and flies. We finally notice big openings at the top of the glass sliding doors. Our customer service rep came back to try and help us with that. He brought in the little bristle things andGive me and a cork gun. We will follow up on that; I’m not comfortable if a cork gun can fix that; especially with hurricane strength, sliding doors through the hurricane seasons. ... More

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.

Our sales rep was great. The process of closing and move in was terrible. Doors wouldn’t close, holes in walls, water not hooked up to fridge, pool was filthy….

Our building supervisor, Chas, worked very hard to get our house completed, but having supply issues and subs who were not always on time or show up at all was a problem. We understand this is a problem of the time, but we were under a time crunch making us impatient. Our house was suppose to be finished by aJuly-September deadline, but was not available until November 30. We still have issues to be addressed,but again this is a very slow process. I doubt if I would build again-no matter what builder was available.

The pool company coast to coast is absolutely terrible still have major issues there non-responsive. It is the one negative we hear everywhere in the new neighborhood. Our sales person Beau Was another person that was very nonresponsive haven’t heard from him since the sale.

Everything up to delivery was good to great. We have several issues that are not being addressed promptly. I am concerned about the response time snowballing as more homes are completed and they fall further behind.

Response team is very good and very professional, quality of home has had issues.

The house is well built and people very nice bu ths has been the worst move in experience we have had. We were told we could have a virtual walk through. Day of sat waiting 2 hours then informed they did not have capability. Had to hurry and clean floors before movers got here. All other moves all do moments for appliances etc were laid out on a counter. We just finished finding documents. Waited yesterday for a confirmed scheduled repair. No show.

I love the community and how it is laid out. The landscaping is amazing, not over done. The clubhouse and amenities are first rate. I would recommend this community to my friends. I am happy I made the right decision to move here.

First, I love my new home with just a couple of reservations. I'm a foody and love to cook but it is impossible to use the broiler without setting off the fire alarm. Why? Because my home, the Cascadia model, doesn't have a kitchen exhaust fan. Even with opening all of the windows, it is impossible to cook a steak without setting off the fire alarm. Second, DiVosta claims to be an energy efficient builder. The amount of water I waste getting hot water to the kitchen and the master bedroom is obscene. The water heater is in the garage and the water "pipes" are not insulated and run through the concrete slab. I prefer to wash my hands with hot water which takes about 2 minutes to deliver to the kitchen. After you get the hot water, if you wait 10 or 15 seconds and want hot water again you need to start the whole process over again. Again, I love the home in general but feel these issues will probably have me selling my new home in the very near future. ... More

The quality of the work is disappointing for the price of the home.

Divosta has entered a "High End" market and has quite a ways to go to live up to its intended goal. Workmanship is acceptable but surely not high end. Work in progress has to continually be redone because the hired workman are insufficiently trained and hired on the basis of the least expensive wages they can get. This results in poor workmanship and frustration from a buyers perspective. You definitely get what you pay for. Certain materials are likewise a result of getting non-quality products and result in dissapointing customer satisfaction. Cost to buyer is way over the final product's result. ... More

Initial contact about problems was good. However, followup was generally poor. I am surprised about the superficial finishing and workmanship, Looks good but takes several weeks to find problems.

Divosta looks to create a positive experience, however, I highly recommend you stay on top of literally everything. You would be wise to double check every detail. Mistakes were made that ended up costing me both time and money. The overall home and neighborhood are lovely, but the process was extremely stressful because of the errors made.

We closed sooner than expected and certain things still needed attention which we were told would be fixed soon after-but now it’s slow and hard to get the attention needed. There are a number of issues that we need help with and the HOA representative does not respond with help- 1. We can’t get any mail until the post office puts a certain lock on the box and no one seems to know who is in charge of that- PLUS, the only reason I know that is that a neighbor told me- not the HOA rep! Our Nest doorbell doesn’t work properly and we’re not sure who to ask to work on that- it’s not the construction crew…. Please advise! ... More

Closing took seven hours instead of 45 minutes - the delay had nothing to do with us! The garage door wouldn't open or close. It took seven days for them to come out to fix it. The employee said he wouldn't charge us this time but the next time we would have to pay! We only lived here a month before it broke. The HOA rep. for Castle group is not helpful or pleasant. After six weeks living here we still have things that need to be fixed - we're sure they will be but we have not been updated.

Average to slightly above average quality build. Some parts of home appear to be better than others particularly with finishes. Tile work wall finishes were below average while general construction appear to be above average.

Make sure you fully understand what the contract means. Get a home inspection before closing. Enjoy your new home

Overall good experience in spite of communication difficulties.

DiVosta builds hundreds of homes at a time rather than one at a time. As a result no home gets the individualized attention to detail that would make it a great home. Examples include mediocre sheet rock workmanship, scant landscaping and greater thought could have gone into the placement of recessed lighting and HVAC vents. Post-closing corrections could have been significantly reduced by greater care during the construction process. So my conclusion is “good but not great.”

Too many delays with closing.
