DiVosta Homes Reviews

Overall the experience has been very disappointing for the expense of the house we purchased. Builder only seemed interested in taking our money and building as fast as possible. Quality of finishes is lacking and have needed warranty work. There were no proactive updates during construction process as promised, unless we asked. There has been consistently very poor communication and follow up, unless we pushed for it. Numerous construction quality issues still being worked on months after closing. The people are nice, but the delivery and quality of the work needs improvement.

Our experience was wonderful, until we had to choose our options. That experience was not ideal.

There doesn't appear to be anyone involved in our home to be dedicated or committed to getting the issues resolved in a timely manner - there is no sense of urgency by anyone!!! We have a $10K zero corner sliding glass door that hasn't worked and we're still waiting to have it repaired after 7 weeks.

Subcontractors who can do quality work, but it usually required that someone is watching closely. Once the closing date is set, everyone rushes and you end up with a long punch-list of minor items.

The whole process was smooth.

not present during construction due to Covid 19, pleased with results,

...a wonderful community with many included amenities!

The building process was fantastic! The field manager kept me informed and answered all my questions.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience. This is the second home I bought here and the first one the experience was great. This one has been the total opposite. I bought the model home, which I understand is a spec home and I understand that there could be some nicks and dents, basically cosmetic, things that need to be fixed and I accept that and have no problem with that. But the spa does not work, and hasn't since I purchased the home, which is attached to the pool. There is no panel to operate the pool and you have to climb over pool equipment to even turn the pool heater on. They basically put in a pool the cheapest way possible with no way to control any functions other than go out to pool equipment and start climbing over it and turning valves. I was told to get spa to work I have to blow into a hose attached to the pool equipment. There are holes at the bottom of all drain spouts since they did nothing to deviate the stream of water away from the house. When it rains heavy, there is a gap between roof line and cage for pool where torrential streams of water come in onto lanai so not able to put any furniture there as it would get damaged with every rain event. There is no working fan in master bathroom. The front door does not close properly, and it is hurricane proof but any big gust of wind will blow it right open since it opens in instead of out and the door handle is loose. Electrical outlets in floor are non-functional. Cabinet doors have gaps so that you can see inside the cabinets - not installed properly. cracked tile in bathroom upstairs. Garage floor has two big stress cracks. The house has speakers throughout the house but no one seems to be able to tell me what they connect to. House has an alarm panel, but again, nobody can give me any details. Was told it would work with Xfinity and Xfinity just laughed and said impossible. And I could just go on and on. While in my previous home if I called with a problem someone was at my door within minutes to address it, here I'm mostly ignored. Was told to call Schlage and tell them I need a new door handle, blow into a tube to start spa (great idea during a pandemic). Was told cabinet doors would be corrected - didn't happen. Was told to get some river rock and fill in the holes created by rain creating holes every place there was a rain spout. Seriously?? Basically was just given stupid answers to real problems to make me go away and not bother them. I am sorry I ever bought this house. It has not brought me any joy so far, just aggravation. Plus I received two letters prior to my closing stating that if I did not close in time I would be i default and lose my deposit, even though I signed the Agreement of Sale contingent on my being able to get a mortgage without first selling my other home. They wanted to close on this house before their fiscal year ended and a week after I closed they started building a house a couple of feet from mine where it was just landscaping, trees and shrubbery and grass. So now I am dealing with construction noise and dirt on top of everything else. I just cannot recommend them to anyone at the moment as it seems that once you sign those final papers you are just an annoyance to them to be dismissed the quickest way possible. ... More

Good, solid hurricane proof house. There are very few standard options. You have to add a lot of upgraded options which are grossly overpriced. There is a mix of houses and townhomes in the community which has now changed to more townhomes than houses and less estate homes being built. Many homeowners are not happy about the builder changing the community plans. Ask the sales associates a lot of questions. They were very nice and helpful but didn't .disclose some important details about our lot. Overall, it's a very nice community

I would say that 90% of the house was great when we moved in. The other issues such as poorly finished drywall spots, an electrical circuit that wasn’t working, a few places of missing grout and paint issues are being addressed. The response of the warranty representative has been superb but the trades are difficult to pin down to get the corrections done. The structure is well built and we are pleased with the construction and timing. The down side of DiVosta being able to deliver a house so quickly is that the trades are here every day, even Sunday so there is always construction noise in the neighborhood. ... More

Island walk is a great community the people have been welcoming and friendly, Divosta did a good job with us. Project manager did a great job

We have been impressed with DiVosta.

With workers being dedicated to each facet of construction, and a strong process, home was built in 4 months. Supervisor was very responsive and handled issues promptly. Parts of the work was sloppy - painting especially and some of the installations (e.g. showers).

Everything went smoothly, the builder worked very had to ensure that. Only issue is ongoing construction. The roads are a mess and I have already had a flat tire from a sheet rock screw!

I really enjoy the community. The home is well built with great craftsmanship.

We bought our home in February and closed in August but because of Covid have not been able to see it in person. Our project manager was great at calling us with updates, pictures and videos along the process and before closing. During the final tour we found some minor things which they corrected within 24 hours. We feel very confident that our home will be everything we expected and we hope to see and enjoy it in person very soon.

Our home was built while we were out of town. Communication was great and our home is beautiful with few few issues after we moved in.

The build process went well, however we have been very disappointed with Vivint the vendor for the Home Automation System. Their service has been very poor and frustrating.

We were pleased with the accuracy of the projected timeline of completion and closing dates.

We couldn't be more pleased with our new home in Island Walk. The building process was easy and the credit goes to the sales and building team. They made the whole process easy!! Thank you for your great work!

So far the experience has been very good. Since we have not been able to occupy our new home yet we can't make a completely accurate assessment on all aspects of the criteria listed above. There was one outstanding issue that has not been resolved yet (a damaged window screen).

Because of the speed in constructing these houses simple things like inproper hanging of windows and doors and especially the lanai sliding glass doors the buyer suffers dealing with getting these things repaired whitch sometime takes a long time.

We had a good experience with the DiVosta people and the quality of product is great!

The many options available can be somewhat overwhelming. Make sure you take your time to select exactly what you want and ask questions even if you have to repeat them for yourself. We were not able to be on location while the house was built, but received photos throughout the process, which was very exciting and helpful. Interacting with the onsite project manager over the phone and via email was easy and efficient. No worries!
