DiVosta Homes Reviews

After 2 months in the new home the punch list has still not been taken care of. The a/c has failed once, the electrical went out in 3 rooms and the warranty department would not show up and an outside company needed to be called, the backyard floods and there are numerous defects.

Not only was the home delivered 7 months after the scheduled date, but the quality or workmanship is horrendous. The follow up from Divosta sun=b contractors is non existent. One day in October 5 different trades were scheduled to show up and make repairs to items listed in the pre-closing walkthrough. Not one of the five showed or called and now, two months later we are still waiting for the cabinet contractor, stucco contractor, countertop contractor and window contractor to make the necessary repairs. I have windows that don't open and no one seems to care how dangerous that can be. I have built multiple new homes and have never experienced this lack of workmanship or dependability. ... More

The construction process was the antithesis of the communicative engaging process shown in the promotional videos. I'm an architect and the DiVosta policies and techniques don't pass construction 101. Who builds a house, brings in doors, trim, and cupboards and then leaves the finished house in an environment that is not temperature or humidity controlled for June and July? Drywall, painting, and carpentry are terrible.

This company is competent. So many mistake and dangerous ones at that. I am sorry that I did not have an inspection prior to closing there are so many things wrong

They could care less once they get their money. We have animal feces in our attic (and maybe a dead animal?) and they do not respond. We moved in and simple things like water to the dishwasher and faucet were Not turned on. The dryer wasn't even hooked up.

What a nightmare! I’ve built several homes over the years and have always enjoyed the experience. Building always has issues but as long as the builder is honest with you it all works out. There were many instances where Divosta/Pulte was not honest with me. So disappointing. The problems were not due to supply chain issues, it was the dishonesty from several employees of Divosta/Pulte. They just don’t seem to care about the homebuyer. You’re just a number. They certainly don’t make your home purchase an exciting time, just super stressful and unpleasant. The finished product has potential - just still have many major corrections to be fixed - after the closing. Such great home models and design choices! What a mess they make out of the process. ...

We were delayed and other houses who signed after us were completed before our house. We could not get reply’s from our construction manager. I asked if he was ok or happened to pass away…..seriously. Construction of the house is very poor quality. Wall are not in square or level. Communication was bad. When we moved in it was not clean. There was garbage laying around, cigarette butt’s in the lanai. Worst experience I’ve had buying a house in my lifetime. Pulte should be ashamed with the product they are delivering.

Pulte was terrible from the builders to the mortgage company to the insurance company. They had numerous things not done when we closed. That are still not fixed !!!! I would never use Pulte again or recommend then to anyone these

Kept us in limbo during the entire buying/building process, increased the price substantially while they made us wait to go into contract, promised us a closing date but called 2 days before to say wasn't going to be!!! Treated Very unprofessionaly!

1. Ceiling not taped and bedded correctly 2. Walls not straight 3. Floors re "peaking" 4. Door molding 1/4 inch from floor filled with caulk 5. Painting had many drips 6. Molding not painted correctly

They cut corners any time they can

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

Ceilings & walls need to be taped in kitchen and living and dining room, Floors need to be cleaned and grout has three colors. We haven't put any furniture in yet because the floors were (are) a mess. Counter is falling apart and has big scratches, The sliding door was Caulked so it doesn't go into the pocket, Tiles in the bath room need to be Caulked. The gutters need to be added in the corners. had 21 things on the list.

With Pulte/DiVosta you definitely do not get what you pay for. House is hot with AC at 71. Seams of drywall visible, but told the are “within tolerance”. The sub-par-contractors are not held to any quality standards. Just rush to get the job done to get you to move into your home. Even with a “warranty” everything is “within tolerance“.

When you buy a new house you expect that there will be some small issues. You don’t expect that the lights will fall out if the ceiling the doors won’t close the roof is leaking and nobody seems interested in fixing it. The fact that the daily rain is running through the electrical fittings in the bathroom and tripping out all of the electricity doesn’t seem to be a concern that needs to be addressed in addition to the fact that the ceiling will collapse if this goes on much longer. Still can’t open the sliding door to get outside. Not what we expected at all

Extremely dissatisfied with how DiVosta has handled our new home and closing.
