Reseñas de Del Webb

DelWebb homes are way overpriced. And then after the base price you are nickeled and dimed throughout the whole design experience. You have to go for the upgrades because the "what's included" choices are so bad. The other problem I have is the unwillingness to negotiate anything! Throw the buyer a bone and let them feel good about the exorbitant price they are paying for their new home. I do have to say that the punch list after move in was minimal but 2 months later the items have not been fixed yet. The sales person and design consultant have both been fired so that could explain my bad experience. I hope the new staff is better. One note of caution, DelWebb's lower priced homes in the Scenic Series although very nice, the flex room and 2nd bedroom are extremely small. I was unable to fit a queen size bedroom set in the space. I am currently looking into the Distinctive Series for the larger rooms but the prices are crazy high and again, even as a current homeowner in DelWebb, there is no negotiating nor consideration. i am only staying in this development for the location and the amenities. I wish I had better things to say. ... Más

This is a model home, which to me classifies as a new home. However, when I submit a request for service, Pulte people I deal with constantly remind of what do I expect, this home was built in 2014. Customer service is definitely lacking. If I had known this home has so many issues, I never would have purchased it. The painters took absolutely no care in their work. If it didn't move they painted over it. Paint on doorbell casing and paint over most switch and electrical outlets. Complete disrespect for the homeowner. They painted over nails and loose dry wall tape. Why could they not repair it while they painted. The quality of the paint is poor. They had to replaced the sunroom door and made a disaster of the outside paint. Again, I was made to feel like what is the big deal. The appliance that were left in the house were either not connected or poorly connected and damaged. Did anyone follow up? Did anyone care. When we turned on the valves for the washing machine, water shot out from the fitting on the back of the washer. They cross-threaded the connectors. When I called in a problem, I was often left feeling like I'm the problem. The dishwasher is scratched. The base plate was not connected and created a tripping hazard. The whole warranty issue is complicated, because they are not treating this as a new home. I'm left wandering about the quality of the build. Well, I know it isn't quality. I asked about a leak under the kitchen sink which I fixed (the connection to the dishwasher was loose. I was told it wasn't a warranty issue. So, to put it bluntly, if something doesn't work, too bad, I just need to accept it. The kitchen sink wasn't even sealed, so water runs underneath it. Apparently, when the builders constructed this house, they treated it solely as a model home, with complete disregard for quality and workmanship and future homeowners. The materials are of poor quality compared to the cost of the home. Once we signed the contract, customer service ceased to exist. They tried desperately to get us closed before this home was ever ready. And, it never really was ready. There was material left in the attic that I had to request be removed. The closet by the front entrance was a jumble of wires. Why? And, I can't begin to tell you how may light bulbs I have had to replace. Would replacing burn out bulbs break Pulte's budget? The light were on constantly. The bulbs should have been replaced. Customer service, really? The home we sold, which we built in 2011 and lived in for 13 years had no such issue. No shabby dry wall, no leaks, no burnt out bulbs. I guess I have high standards and Pulte does not. This was a huge mistake on our part. If anyone should ask me about purchasing a Pulte home, I will tell like it is. This home does not resemble the $475K we're paying for it. ... Más

I've built four new homes in my life, and this is the worst quality, and highest priced of them all. We continue to complain about things that need to be replaced or fixed with no one giving us the service we've been promised. If I thought I could get my money back, I'd be out of here in a heartbeat.

Lots of promises with zero follow up. Our sales agent left the company and we have no one to talk to as our construction manager was relocated to another site and our quality guy John has not addressed major issues that were reviewed 2 weeks ago. Had a roof leak from day one after the peel and stick was installed in June. Very concerned about mold issues with the wet insulation and blackened OSB board. Roof was repaired but not all tiles were replaced. It is the worst construction experience I ever experienced. The dish washer was not secured to the counter and when opened drops to the floor. We do not have anyone to discuss the issues that we trust based on their past lack of follow up. ... Más

Horrible all the way around. If you would like to know specifics...we will be happy to share. Before signing our paperwork we ask for a guarantee the water issue in the back would be guaranteed. It was and in writing. BUT...nothing has been done except to regrade 3 times and made it worse and now we have a gulley (small river). We now have all houses beside and behind us flowing in our yard. We are told each week that next week it will be done. To date...no plan, no nothing and we cannot do anything or have any privacy in the back due to their lack of ensuring their guarantee was followed through. If we had known...we would not have signed off. Not only the major water in the back, but poor workmanship inside. All the doors are not working, we have a leak in our slider doors, the front door sounds like a tornado coming through each time the wind blows. We can't close our garage interior door. The exterior garage door holds water when it rains and when opened floods our garage floor. The dishwasher is still out of line and has a 4 inch gap on each side that was supposed to be fixed. The shower door is not level and leaks at the bottom. The door is very light and feels like it will fall off at any time. We were told we would have the larger shower but then we found out it wasn't. Our salesperson said, sorry his bad. Another person had purchased the home before us and the specs were built on her choices. We were told they are not sure they can repair some of these areas. Nothing...you can't get anyone back once you sign. I would not purchase another Del Web home due to the poor communications, poor workmanship, no follow-up and hollow promises. They only buy time by keep telling you next week, next week and those weeks come and go. There are more examples we can provide if you care to listen and do something to eliminate our disappointment in purchasing a Del Web home. When asked how to go up the ladder to get someone to help us...we were told that Pulte will only push it back down the ladder...in other words no one cares. It's a nightmare. We purchased our home to enjoy ...to date we cannot. We also were told we had a premium lot and paid for it...but...you figure out the rest of the sentence. ... Más

The quality of my home that was turned over to me was subpar to previous Pulte Home I had purchased in the past. My home was turned over to me with major roof issues and to date have not been repaired. My patio sliding door at closing would not properly close and lock. Construction Manager assured me repairs would be done ASAP. It took 3 weeks for repair company to respond due to poor response and follow-up from my Construction Manager. Overall this home buying process was very stressful and unpleasant. I will never purchase a Pulte home again.

Extreme drama at last minute regarding possible change of closing date. Items identified pre-closing were not resolved. Many instances of shoddy workmanship.

When signing the contract to purchase a home nobody disclosed that the community clubhouse would not be completed for over a year or that the temporary clubhouse would have no pool. Nor did they disclose where the construction office would be, which happens to be on the same street as the lot we picked. We had 2 Project Managers. Don't know why but can only imagine. The Second Project Manager who came on just before our walk-through is polite and professional but does not have control over when workers show up or complete projects. The quality of materials and workmanship is less than stellar. I have a bathroom door that can't be used, kitchen cabinets that are damaged and or have been installed incorrectly, and appliances that are all dented or rusted. After 30 days Items that were supposed to be corrected are yet to be completed. Upgrades are extremely inflated for the quality of materials and workmanship. ... Más

It was exciting buying a new dream home until we moved in! Josh, our superintendent went MIA after begging to be rated all 10's (which we did up until move in he was great - afterwards he GHOSTED us). We have had some major issues after move-in including 5-ton A/C unit which is destined to fail imminently, a non-working oven which was installed as electric when we paid over $5K for GAS package appliances, still waiting for touch up paint which is badly needed and should have been delivered at closing, NO cable conduit was laid for TV, Internet, computers etc which took 4 weeks to get (we had to increase data on our cell phones to get anything at all costing us a lot of $$ out of pocket), a huge CIRCULAR (??) break of drywall over 2 ft. wide with NO SUPPORT behind it (studs are 23" apart) and NO BACK UP FROM PULTE, sheet metal variation on chimney over cooktop hood and we could go on and on. These are rather large issues Pulte got our money at closing and now PULTE DOES NOT CARE!! ... Más

We moved from out of state and we were promised by the site manager and sales team that all the issues that were reported would be taken care of and the house would be cleaned and move in ready when we arrived. That was far from true. We arrived three days prior to closing and were told by the site manager Josh that everything would be completed before closing. The house was filthy and needed many repairs. Including but not limited to: filthy tile floors, floor tile grout all over floor boards, damaged kitchen drawer, trim missing around dishwasher, cracked tub and shower unit, provided front yard landscaping poorly done and 7 dead plants when we arrived which were never replaced, and subsequently all plants died due improperly installed watering system. Kitchen light switches improperly installed hanging by one screw. Then you are promised they will show up to make repairs and never show up for scheduled appointment's, we are now hearing from many in the neighborhood that this is a very common occurrence and they just hope you will go away and stop requesting repairs, It appears if we want anything fixed we will have to do it ourselves. The neighborhood gossip have made it very clear this is a common practice, promises made and not kept. Even at your one year warranty we have been hearing nothing gets done, more promises and again not kept. So buyer beware! ... Más

Del Webb talks a lot of hot air about warranty and prompt repairs but doesn't deliver. Sent list of items to repair a week ago. One week later nothing done. No calls. Number of inside issues to be resolved. Dishwasher not even attached to cabinet. Front brick fell out of side of house. Building trades set up large speaker and blast Spanish music. Building trades sanding concrete for 2 days sending concrete dust everywhere..

We ordered the features for our house and Pulte built a feature we did not request which took away significant square footage from our house. They never told us about the variance and we found the problem when we did a final walkthru. They would not work with us to resolve the issue. They can not be trusted.

Issues with mold and clogging areas that should be unclogged so that aircraft flow better fixing it myself because I want something better and don’t have to wait for them because I’ll be sick in bed. How are you allergic to mold I will have to do it better

Three weeks before our close date, the dishwasher was installed wrong, resulting in a flooded kitchen. Flooring and cabinets had to be reordered and installed, resulting in a 3-day delay on our closing. When we finally moved in, we found the new kitchen flooring to be damaged once again and, after talking to our construction manager, we learned the plumber had flooded the kitchen when reinstalling the pipes. We are now awaiting our third kitchen floor. Last night my husband came home and found wet carpet in the guest bedroom. After further investigation, he discovered that the AprilAire system had not been properly installed and leaked from the second floor through the walls and into the lower-level bedroom. For me, the thrill of building and owning a new home has been lost in these issues. I'm currently living with a dehumidifier running full time, a half-cement kitchen floor, and a flooded bedroom with no end in sight to the construction that will need to be done to repair the unsatisfactory work by subcontractors. ...

Sales office and rep was fine. Building was a disaster. Wrong tile in two bathrooms. Wrong cabinets in kitchen. Build manager tried to be good but his hands are obviously tied by corporate. Nice guy but just a puppet for corporate. Pulte lied to us about the issues until we came up with written proof. Poor quality- everything sloppy work. Doors arrive to Pulte not square- embarrassingly with a problem, Pulte says sorry that’s the way they come from supplier. Cheap and sloppy workmanship and toilets. Sorry but this is honest.

They lie to you about everything to sell you the home they change anything they want but we can’t change anything if I knew I could not screen in front porch I would not have built here the only thing good I can say is the warranty people are great

Builder is inflexible. Talk about quality process but it is anything but. The house itself is solid but the finish work is terrible. Lots of promises not followed through. Lack of coordination and poor scheduling process. Multiple things not done correctly the first time. Too many unskilled workers and inconsistencies.

Having built 3 homes previously, with generally very good to excellent experiences, we were shocked at how horrible this building experience was and how disappointing the end result upon move-in was. The issues are too numerous to list all, but some of the more egregious ones follow. First, fighting for months to get garage door windows and front glass door to be impact-rated in an “impact-glass” community and in accordance with Building Code in a Wind Bourne Debris Region (This involved personally sending DW relevant building code multiple times, having private inspector detailing in report, reaching out to upper management and attempting to make them understand that the paperwork that they provided to the county and to us did not match the installed product, and finally eventually having Brevard County Code enforcement sending someone out to inform DW that doors were not impact-rated as required). Next, supervision and quality control was limited to nonexistent: workers urinated in our guest bathtub (urine marinated there for 6 days before being emptied out/cleaned - tub was eventually replaced) and defecated in both toilets with no water service (toilets were eventually replaced prior to closing). In addition, Our luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed in a non-climate controlled environment (no AC in 90+ degree weather) invalidating the manufacturer’s warranty. The builder had to rip it out and replace it once the air conditioning was turned on. Communications were frequently inaccurate. On the day of closing, the house was filthy, had numerable bugs, spiders and spider nests covering walls and ceilings, unpainted window sills and numerous touchups needed, paint/grout splotches on floors… We think we are finally rid of the indoor pests after having our own cleaning woman spend a considerable amount of time cleaning up. The keys we were given at closing did not open any of our doors. The house has pockets of a “grease” smell that’s disgusting. Upon hectic move-in, we realized that there was no coat closet, the builder apparently forgot to build one despite being clearly documented in the the blueprints. It is currently under construction post closing. This experience was beyond awful, indescribably painful, and in an entire league of its own. We would not recommend that anyone use this builder unless like us, they want to be in an impact-glass, 55+ community in Brevard that eventually, once Amenity Center opens one year later than originally stated (now summer 2025), should be very nice. On a side note, several items promised upfront have now changed. Temporary “Lifestyle” House was to have a pool, but will not. HOA fee was to include Internet/TV but now it appears, per most recent newsletter, that this will be billed to homeowners. ... Más

Poor quality trade workers brought in so work is poor. Tiles on floor uneven where a toe bumps them. Poor drywall and paint work. Tiles left with grout, paint, pencil marks all over. Floors not protected properly during construction so chips, paint throughout house. Certain things requested at the beginning and they weren’t done and told too late to do it.. Garbage left around the house, beer cans. Finishes in the house didn’t match and they didn’t care. Windows poor quality as 4 windows had broken parts. Every person I have met so far has their negative stories as well. The homeowners are nice and amenities but Pulte trades don’t seem to care and project managers apparently are spread too thin. Design center limited choices and high prices. Wasn’t allowed to pick the most expensive cabinets because was told they were only for the million dollar homes. If I want to pay for the cabinet I should have been able to pick what was offered in the center. Talk to homeowners in your area before you consider. Buyer beware! ... Más

We have had a terrible experience. Our first inspection was scheduled for Jan 16, 2023 and when we came in from Albuquerque we found out the supervisor had gone out of town, had not let us know and we had to reschedule for the next Thursday, costing us extra money and time to be in Texas. We inspected before closing and pointed out several concerns. We were told to close and assured everything would be taken care of before we took possession. When we moved in we found nothing had been done and the house was filthy. We have tried working with the warranty department. We did not have our calls answered and submissions addressed. It was as if we did not exist. Finally we complained and got the number of our warranty guy. He has addressed a few of our issues, but it has been like pulling teeth and we have heard nothing about the rest of them even though we have been asking. We tell everyone we know and random people about our experience and not to buy Pulte home. ... Más

We have built several homes, both custom and production. This was, by far the most difficult and frustrating experience ever. From a rude and condescending salesperson to an inexperienced construction manager, nothing about this build was easy. Communication was very difficult, likely because the construction manager was overworked with unrealistic expectations placed on him. Difficulties with county permitting, utilities, and subcontractors were evident, even as removed from the process as we were. The quality of the subcontractors was poor; it seemed as if they would do the minimum amount of work to check the box, their work was sloppy and they left their worksite very dirty. Urination and defamation in non-working toilets and showers was common from the subs (I assume). Near the closing date, we identified several items that needed to be addressed and they were fixed, but if we didn't identify them, they wouldn't have been fixed. While these items were being fixed, a painter would ask what needs to be done and if I didn't tell them each are that needed to be taken care of (if I missed one), it would not get done....(see above re:subs doing minimum work possible). The last issue, prior to closing, was the cleanliness of the home. We insisted that it be cleaned a second time, and it was, however such a poor job was done. Windows were not clean, there are paint splatters on almost all horizontal and some vertical surfaces, drywall texture overspray is everywhere. It took us many hours (we're still not done) cleaning a home that we paid what Pulte asked us to pay. There were no negotiations, no haggling over price. We should have received a home that looks like the models. Very disappointed and will definitely not recommend Pulte to anyone. ... Más

Very poor fit and finish to interior and exterior of these homes. Pulte promises follow-up for fixes, but it's been weeks since we had response to requests for warranty repairs. Sales staff are poorly informed about what they are selling. Construction management is overwhelmed and non-responsive. Pulte business model appears to be to put homes up as quickly as possible and then turn them over to buyers to deal with the poor results. VERY POOR model for building a quality home. Finally, plans for amenities are now changing despite what was promised apparently due to unresolved politics between builder, county and state. BUYER BEWARE. ... Más

Do not buy into Del Webb at Viera if you can avoid it. The quality of workmanship is horrible. The houses are slapped together. We have problems with drywall, paint quality, door trim gouges, paint on flooring, exterior paint coverage, pavers are sinking in on driveway, sprinkler system pipes are not buried, bathroom shower leaked into bathroom floor, scratches on glass in shower enclosure, door wall glass is scratched, bathroom mirror is scratched. The sales team promised a temporary pool until the clubhouse pool was ready; it didn’t happen, the clubhouse and pool was promised for summer 2024, now not going be ready until 2025. That only covers some of the issues; I can’t stress how dissatisfied and disappointed I am with Del Webb ... Más

Deceptive marketing - very controlling- refused to provide requested information making it extremely stressful and difficult without reason

I would not recommend Pulte unless you expect to miss the original delivery date by over 6 months, expect the quality of the workmanship to need extensive rework and the installed products to not meet your expectations even with upgrades.
