WCI Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Overall experience has been pretty good. Don’t like how limited you are with the builder doing anything outside the norm. For the money you pay you should have more options available.

sales personnel excellent and attentive, construction manager very responsive and caring, customer care before corona moratorium very unresponsive and the worst communication. we have major issues with defective of wrong products in our home that have gone unrepaired, almost ignored. Love our home, but very unhappy with service after closing.

very poor job, and quality

Pros: Good support team, nice layouts, nice neighborhood. Cons: Most of the interiors are not symmetric, ceiling lights throughout the house are not in line with each other. Living room, kitchen ceiling lights are not inline, they are just their. Dining table lights are way off from the dining space. Dimmer lights are provided in kitchen and not in Living room. AC vents and exhaust could have been planned better. You have boxed ceiling in master bedroom with AC vents, fire alarm etc in it. There is so much space outside the box to put all these stuffs and keep box ceiling for other designs. Looks like construction manager and workers did not have access to measuring tape. ... More

Our home is fine, we have just had issues and noticed so much work that was finished in a very sloppy manner, trades who came in late had no respect for other peoples work, we ended up having overspray paint everywhere, deep scratches on glass where stucco was stuck to the glass and scraped off leaving deep gouges, Under size breakers that keep tripping, Appliances that were installed incorrectly and we had to pay GE to come in to correct the installs. Chipped tiles installed on shower floors, and shower walls, loose faucets, huge gaps in trim that were caulked and looks very unprofessional. We had a beautiful spray painted stairs, then we they came to stain the stair treads they got stay all over the painted railings and risers and then repainted the stair with brushes and rollers. Starting to notice joints in the ceilings drywall, and they don't properly install roof sheathing as it's starting to expand and show every joint through the shingles. We send in a service list at least once a week for something. Oh, and our garage floor was so incorrectly painted they have to come in and do it over. Poor craftsmanship in my opinion. I build roads and bridges for a living and we're held to much high quality control and quality assurance. They're building these houses too quickly and scopes of work are being done out of correct sequencing that cause more issues down the road. Not sure we'd sign up for this again. ... More

The house is built very poorly especially The finishing . Out of style fixtures Unfinished work , poor dry wall finish and painting. Garage door is not installed properly or cheap door ,scared us inside the house with The loud noise etc

We moved in a couple months ago and were surprised to see some of the issues we’ve dealt with for a house this expensive. Parts of the build seemed rushed and the materials weren’t as good as you’d expect for this price. Overall I’m content with the home but wouldn’t plan on buying another WCI home after this.

The home buying process started off great. I received weekly updates from the sales representative, had a great first walk through and things seemed to progress at an ok pace. Things started taking a turn after the first appraisal. Home was appraised far below the offered value. Unfortunately the seller was unwilling to negotiate the final sale price. We went to the final walk through and when we left there was a plethora of a blue tape everywhere. Missing windows, screens, doors, kitchen hood even shower enclosure. We were assured all these issues would be fixed by our closing date. Needless to say we closed there days late. However, the title agent was awesome. She was very responsive, flexible and understanding. We are 6 weeks in the home and still waiting on several repairs to be made. For a million dollar house the quality of the work does not match. ...

I really love the home. But dealing with all of the after effects of a walk through etc.,..has been a challenge with this builder. I will continue to not give up. The fact that what they are responsible for they should take care of without delay or putting the blame on someone else.

Lack of responsiveness for issues and you need to wait for months and continue follow up to fix issues.

Mediocre materials mediocre workmanship poo responsiveness to problems.

I've been in my house for 6 months. I still have several outstanding items that were never completed.

On the day of closing, learned that the areas that were supposed to be fixed by then had not been fixed. didn't wan to delay the closing, and the Construction Manager promised that he would tend to those areas within a few days. It has been six months since I moved in, and I am tending to things one at a time via "after service" clause that covers one-year period. happy with the house and community overall, but dealing with someone, or process, that is not so trustworthy or reliable leaves you with unpleasant feeling -- I hope they improve for future customers.

The sales team was good, they were providing regular updates on the status of the build and helped to get the initial paper work done . The construction manager was just trying to close out the home without completing the work which was mentioned in the observations they are very tactful to say we will take care and not include in the inspection report things they know will not get done . ( still not closed after 1 month of moving in ) Also the construction managers prioritization order of building home is questionable, a home which started 3-4 after my property gets closed before and it’s the same model !!! How can this happen ?? Further the observations noted takes for ever to get closed after you move in . All tickets raised are not addressed timely only after follows up it’s completed. I hope the construction manager and warranty team are more responsible and address issues and concerns would make the home buying experience much better … ... More

Workmanship is poor and it looks like no one was overseeing the work

VERY POOR QUALITY, POOR CUSTUMER SERVICE

Chiding WCI Lennar was a hard decision but once made we were very excited. Unfortunately the craftsmanship was not what we expected at this price point. There should be better trades selected to build these homes or a Quality control process . Disappointed

When I came to visit this neighborhood I really got excited .. absolutely beautiful.. but the realtor that sold my house was very negligent.. didn’t give the full disclosure.. I still have problems with that

Most concerns with the construction and state of the home were addressed before closing, but excuses were given when we asked for other flaws to be repaired. Four months later we are seeing a lot of things needing repair (pavers in the driveway lifting, caulk needing to be redone on most cabinets, nails coming through ceiling, floors creeping, etc.) Still waiting on these repairs.

When purchasing a home through WCI, set your expectations to be treated as a transaction and not as a person. They will cut whatever corners necessary to ensure the product is done by the time they need to hit their quota numbers and then leave all corrections to warranty. As long as you are willing to take a second job as project manager and correct all the issues with your home, you will eventually get an amazing product. After months of working hard on our home, we love it and our neighborhood, so we have no regrets, but wish we had known what a terrible experience dealing with WCI as a company was going to be to appropriately set our expectations. ...

Their sales was exceptional Construction manager would hardly respond a lot of issues brought up during construction could have been dealt with while the construction is going on. Landscaping is below par Doesn't talk well about their workmanship

Structure is quality but the finish work is not to par. The sales associate just collects your check at the beginning and end. Non-existing the rest of the way and if you ask questions, the responses are inaccurate most of the time.

Very rushed through the closing process with this builder and although promised missing or incorrect items would be rectified after closing, they are not very attentive to assist after the sale is complete. Beware and ensure you are 100% satisfied with the product before you close.

Poor communication during building process but improved after closing. Attention to detail was very lacking and organization was poor. Building process was slow and started very late which lead to builder rushing to finish home close to closing which lead to many mistakes to include structural errors, cosmetics errors and flooring issues and cabinets not completely finished until 4 months after closing. After closing staff and communication did improve .

We have not been able to use our master bathroom for 4 out of the 5 months since we've lived here. There are also concerns about the other 2 bathrooms. This is unacceptable as a new home owner.
