DiVosta Homes Reviews

It was a horrific experience and still is!!!!!!!!!!!

Manager appears to be sincere and concerned but issues do not get resolved. He would listen and agree that something had to be fixed but it never was. The contractor would move on to the next phase, never fix was reported.. and then the manager would not pursue it. When I would inquire with a direct question like has the replacement been ordered. He would respond with “I called him many times”, lt is being worked”, “It will be taken care of”, etc. this went on for 6 months and still was not resolved when we closed.(a month since closing and still open issues. When I told the manager there was the potential for roof leaks, he told me I have a year warranty so don’t worry. ... More

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.

From Jane in the sales office to Dan at corporate, we were treated rudely and lied to about Pultes screw ups and we had to fight every step of the way to be just be made whole. We’ve been living here for a month and there’s a laundry list of things to still do

Horrible building experience and horrible builder. Not only did it take 22 months to build, but their workmanship and lack of attention to detail are horrific. I’ve already replaced the tile for kitchen backsplash as well as the tile in the master shower stall. They use substandard subcontractors for everything and it shows in the quality of their work. There is NO communication during the building process and you’ll be left regretting ever buying a home with Divosta/Pulte. It is BRUTAL.

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

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.

What happened with the amenities and facilities center. I was told they would be open for use by June of 2023. That's a lie. Not open and available for use as of Nov 19. Rule of thumb with Beachwalk owners, is that if lips are moving in the sales office, there are lies to be had. I could continue but why?

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.

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

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… ...

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.

Divosta took 18 months to build our new villa. Interest rate doubled and our costs completely doubled. We were barely able to sell it and break even as soon as we took possession from Divosta. We planned to keep it BUT the huge delays and costs prevented us from keeping it. Their contract gives them 2 years to build so they weren’t concerned about the delays and our costs doubling. Will NEVER buy from them again.

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.

Very poor communications no one would follow and as we went to supervisors further up the management chain for assistance the would not follow up with us. This is the worst company I have ever felt with and recommend to anyone seeking a new home to look at other builders.

The craftsmanship is not on par with price. House was delivered with many items on punch list to be fixed. It has been close to 45 days since closing and Divosta has yet to start fixing things

It ha been a nightmare. My backsplash has yet to be finished as well as the hole that was dug in the garage to fix a broken pipe and the floor in the master closet. I have got nothing but delays delays delays and promises and lies.

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
