DiVosta Homes Reviews

The model homes really sell the house - when you see what you really get I wish I had not purchased here.

Don’t trust Linda sales office construction managers are useless. Spoken to five people all have similiar experiences. It’s up to the owners now to fix problems at our expense.

Sales person was great, structure of home was very good, but finishes from drywall on were done very poorly. Construction manager did not manage the end of the build and was unresponsive to our concerns and/or willing to make things right. Work of the subs was absolutely substandard.

This is our third New Build Pulte Home in 8 years - Our first house in Willowsford VA was a mess at closing - Our second house in Sonoma Isles took two extra months - but we felt that was acceptable b/c there seemed to be contractors working and it was during the tail end of Covid. This house in Bridgewater we were told that it would take 8 months to build. And that only the best contractors would be working on our home. It took almost 18 months to close on the house and it was still not 100% ready. There was a big delay in the permitting process to get our house started. Then the house sat for 3 Months and no one told us that there was a structural issue. Then no one would tell us when we could expect to close when we got a letter from Pulte on get ready to expect to close. For the amount of money that we paid for our house - Pulte fell way short of delivering on expectations- We paid a premium for our pool and it was not and is still not ready / fully functional since we closed. We have been in the house for five weeks and we still have no answers on our punch list and our heater in our pool is not functional. This is a horrible experience- we have purchased 4mil in homes with Pulte and because of us we have brought in close to another 10 million in referrals to Pulte only to be treated like we were buying a 400k house - This house should be a million dollars less based on our experience and the overall craftsmanship… ...

If you’re entertaining buying an expensive home from Pulte in a $2 Million + neighborhood - save yourself the aggregation and do not! They are out of their league at a higher end price point. My 10-12 month build turned out taking 15 months with zero changes during the build.

They cut corners any time they can

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.

Major problem: there is water seeping into our home. The grout is wet. The baseboards are getting wet. No response from the warranty people. Once the woodwork gets wet we will eventually have mold, mildew, termites and structural damage. The place is a very pretty development but our home is defective and may soon be uninhabitable. Would any of the principals of DiVosta Homes be willing to live in our home? Would they appreciate it if this review was posted anywhere & everywhere that home sales are listed? They were in a huge rush to construct the home and have a closing. The company should have built a quality home instead. The one good thing I have to say was that the construction manager was very nice and helpful but at the end of the process it appeared that he was being rushed as well. Pretty on the outside isn't sufficient when the home is poorly built. We have been in this home for two months. What a disgrace ... More

We were happy with our sales agent, project manager and house closer. But but….. We deeply regret putting our trust and investment with your company. We were mistreated and lied to by your mortgage company’s incompetence who did our mortgage. We were overcharged for your product. We will not refer our friends and acquaintances to do business with your organization.

Still waiting for many repairs to be made

There is not much to say when your frustrations overcome everything else. From start to finish, this has been a extreme bumpy experience.

The overall experience has been extremely horrible. This is also the same for many neighbors we have spoken to in our community. The houses are being closed without being finished and the construction managers are not really inspecting any of the work done on the home. In our personal experience we had a driveway done in the incorrect width and the construction managers did not even know what the correct width should be. In addition, we had walls that were not straight, floor tiles broken and stained (cement and paint). Also when we brought this up to the warranty manager we got a different answer than the construction manager. We ended up escalating our issues with the company VPs and they could not believe what was happening in our home, but still things continue to be done incorrectly. This is only a very short summary of some of the issues we encountered with Divosta. My recommendation to future buyers is to look at other companies to buy a new build home. ... More

NEVER BELIEVE WHAT A DIVOSTA/PULTE EMPLOYEE TELLS YOU!!!!!!!

Multiple mistakes & poor craftmanship, e.g, door bolts not set properly, one closet opening 15 inches too narrow, bathtubs damaged, all door strike plates crooked, towel racks fell off wall first time used, home was dirty & never cleaned before move in date, appliances not working, outside stucco sprayed over all outside vents/wirinf/faucets....HELP !!! Not worth price we paid.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

We have had nothing but issues and things cannot be fixed propery the first or even the second time around. For instance, They scratched the word "Clean Me" in our kitchen hood. They finally come to replace it and make a mess of my kitchen to find out they did not have the correct hood to be replaced. Our cooktop was also extremely scratched. The tile/grout work throughout the home is terrible The pavers keep sinking workers cause more damage to home before fixing it takes 2-3 trips for 1 thing to be corrected cabinets have now been ordered 3x we were told that we can fix it, but it will be a pain, so we added caulking instead. We will no longer recommend DiVosta. ... More

Not cleaned- dry wall imperfections- paint defects - trim defects - exterior poor paint - garage frequency incorrect - furnace filter dirty- windows sprayed by irrigation stained - cupboard damage kitchen- tape glue on ceramic throughout - and more

Not only did we pay extra for, and not receive event for our stove that now is a major problem to fix that will cause all kinds of issues in the kitchen, but our bathroom is pitched in the wrong direction. Someone from Divosta came out to check it and make sure that all was well, only to find out that the entire floor needs to be completely removed and repaired. This will take days. In both of these major repairs that are required, constant damage is being done until the repair is made. Sorry I listened to anyone who told me Pulte and Divosta were quality builders.

The roof was leaking the porch was missing the footer to attach the screen to so they had to tear it all down. Very disappointed in the craftsmanship. Hire subpar help you get a subpar home. This home has been a nightmare to say the least. DiVosta Homes is making my life a living unbearable. This is supposed to be a happy time in our lives, the American dream. My wife is overwhelmed with the irresponsible help in any of these matters. Someone please help us.
