DiVosta Homes Reviews

Experience in the beginning was great. At the end, things seemed to be rushed and sloppy. Seemed like there was no accountability. Made a check list of what needed to be done and are still waiting for things to be fixed

First construction manager basically bullied us into giving high score or threatened to postpone closing, then lack of response to address issues. For the price paid we should have had more bang for the buck on a brand new home. And production home or not we shouldn't have cracked tiles, scratched appliances, an air handler that's not bolted in, flickering lights, snapped roof truss etc need I say more.

We had several CMs over the term of the build. Disjointed process with trades performing work out of traditional order. Very poor communication with buyers. Overall love our home, but the process was at times very painful.

Be sure to closely inspect absolutely everything before closing and check that it is all completed before taking possession of your new home.

I would be hesitant to recommend Divosta

DiVosta has marketing materials that lead you to believe they have process of constant communication and feedback on the build of your home. Very little of this process was followed in our case. The quality of the subcontractors work in many cases are below expectations. We expected a much higher quality of work. Our construction manager did the best he could do under supply chain issues and labor shortages. He was responsive to our questions and concerns when we raised issues. Pulte management puts undue pressure on their teams to close projects without appropriate review of the status of the homes creating frustration on the part of home owners. Due to the premature close, the warranty department has a long list of issues to work through, and are overwhelmed. All of these issues lead to a dissatisfaction with the overall process. ... More

Our salesperson Jessica was very responsive and full of valuable information to help us make the right decision.

The quality of materials and workmanship could me better. Two times tickets have been submitted and nothing has been taken care of..

Just wish that I knew a year ago what I know about how this builder conducts its business. Word of advice to the next buyer, do your due diligence, take your time and have the house inspected well. It will save you a lot of headaches down the road. Don't sign/agree to anything before you have things fixed.

Everything looks better during the initial sales showings than it is. Lots of cheap things so you have to pay to have something more decent but even that is not good, basic things like hangers for towels are missing and responsiveness to fix things is bad not mentioning more than 6 months delays without any accountability for it.

Communication during the build process was lacking at best. It was extremely challenging to build while living out of state. Buyers who could visit the construction site daily or weekly could better troubleshoot problems as the buyer had to bring them to attentions of the construction manager. Major issues, including hurricane damaged roof (September) still not repaired as promised even though damage occurred 2 months prior to closing in November. Once they get your money, good luck getting issues resolved. ZERO stars for "Responsive to Issues". (The survey forced me to choose one as the minimum). ... More

What started out as a positive for me and my wife slowly went downhill. Months delayed for an air conditioner handler. It finally arrives hurricane hits and the front door on the house was not installed there fore water entered the home and caused water damage to certain walls which had to be removed from the floor to 4 feet up. The entrance of the home had to be completely gutted to the ceiling due to water damage. When we closed we noticed the lock on front door installed incorrectly and closing the door can be difficult. A used stove vent was installed that was greasy and rust spots on it. Stucco on lanai walls not taken to the ground and lanai ceiling peeling in three places. Molding under main bedroom missing and molding in second bathroom gouged out and filled in with caulking. Exposed wires hanging out of garage door motor. Lock on pocket sliders was broke and difficult to lock the door. ... More

I would say the whole experience was stressful. Our sales person was very nice and knowledgeable. Then you send us to a design center where we have 3 hours to make all of our selections. Pretty much everything on the model homes is an extra and if you makes changes after your original selections even if it’s way before construction the change orders are very expensive. Construction took a very long time. Our construction manager was very cooperative and responsive however it seems he didn’t really have much control of times. Of course we understand these were difficult times during Covid. At the end it was a rush and a lot of things to do for closing. Since moving in it seems like every day there is a new issue. Overall quality of work was good but far from great. And material is low quality! ... More

have a new man Jimmy Etheridge I am working with that seems to be resolving issues

We are now a month past closing and we have many tile, painting, cabinet issues that were supposed to be completed still undone with no schedule for completion.

Once the payment is made it is very difficult to get the small issues resolved.I highly recommend you have several people doing walk thru cause if you miss something that you can't see right of way you are told you can't do anything about it should of been see on walk thru.still waiting for issues to be resolved it is now 2 months since we moved in and still waiting. However one construction manager did go over and above even after his part was done (Todd Griffin) if you are lucky enough to have him. He always responded when we had issues when others did not This is Elaine's Review

Issues during build were addressed. Afterwards still waiting for repairs. Doesn’t seem to be a priority. We were told in November of 2021 clubhouse would be finished in a year. Clubhouse isn’t even started October 2022. Gates aren’t closed in the evening as we were told for security.

slwo to respond to everything

Working with Divosta has felt like a one-way street. Up front you’re required to meet each and every deadline or you will incur penalties. Then, the home is delivered with all sorts of problems leaving you to deal with the post closing. Getting Divosta to act in a timely fashion is near impossible. We’ve been in our house for over 2 months now and we still cannot use our master shower due to poor workmanship. If you do decide to purchase a home from Divosta or Pulte make sure that EVERYTHING is completed to your satisfaction prior to closing. Otherwise, refuse to close.

Workmanship on the home is very poor. Pulte does not build homes like they use to.

The communication with our project manager was good at first. Then once we got further along it was hard to get answers to our questions. Now that we have closed and moved in, there are issues that need to be fixed and it’s a constant follow up with when people are coming to do the work. I know we are in Covid tiles and workforce is low but it’s like they forget the people that have bought homes from them and continue to build homes instead of getting the small things fixed at peoples homes

Did not have a good experience with having to close on their date and showing up 2 weeks after closing and having things still incomplete and the house a complete mess Hoping the warranty department takes care of this soon

Craftsmanship not as is would have expected

DiVosta has been very difficult to work with to address the issues with our new build.

Poor communications, both before and after closing.
