Reseñas de Del Webb

Recommend waiting to build a home when not in a housing boom in order to ensure better quality control and customer service.

I never expected to have so many things wrong with the house. I The quality of work on the interior was quite poor. I paid for things up front that I had to pay someone else to make right. I'm here about six weeks now, and very little has been fixed by the builder.

Our Bldg. interior construction supervisor, Flint Sneath, always was very responsive, despite subs continuous recalcitrance to be responsible, at all!

Check on building process during building

Sales team was excellent, design team was excellent but decision by Del Webb to accelerate closing date caused very poor workmanship on the interior. A word to the wise...do not agree to close until all work is completed to your satisfaction.

Do not expect quality materials or workmanship

They are in over there heads. Cutting corners to get things done faster. Instead of doing it correctly from the beginning.

At first there was constant communication. Once I signed and was committed, things changed. They said I would be kept up to date on everything but that was not the case. I had to ask repeatedly for information and updates. My salesperson left halfway through the process and the only person I had any contact with was the construction manager. It was a very stressful process.

Over all the house is good it just seems that after closing things take for ever to happen Are builder Tim turned in a cabinet that had a crack in it to be replaced that has been app. five weeks ago still nothing and then there is the landscapers and sprinkler people that do the worst work i have ever seen. The quality of paint we were able to select from was very poor unable to wash any of it.

Our realtor did nothing to help us negotiate with the builder. Our building supervisor was horrible. We had to get management involved. Once management was involved the move went much smoother. The painting and finish work are not very good. We are having our house repainted.

Our home in Buckeye Festival was built with two A/C. It in Florence they put one. Excuse was unsatisfactory. The Journey has a better system that the Voyage. I feel a mistake was made using old floor plans to build them in Florence and Buckeye builds with newer plans because two A/C are needed. VP for Arizona Jermey is useless and that’s the reputation he has from others that have gone to him with issues. They never provided me a letter from Pulte engineer saying the difference between Buckeye and Florence and why. Also why was this house not upgraded like Journey system? Think a mistake made and they covered it up for me and other customers. ... Más

When all our issues have been resolved since we closed April 21, 2020, then and only then will we grade Del Webb on the home buying experience. At this juncture we are not pleased. For example, we were recently told our refrigerator would would be delivered the week of May 24 - 28. It wasn't received as of 6/3 and no one bothered to call us to let us know of any further delays. On top of that, the refrigerator we have has no ice maker and we have to buy ice at a retail store weekly. Not a big expense but certainly is an inconvenience. Second, the carpet in our two guest rooms had to be replaced after the initial installation due to installers tracking paint in both rooms. The carpet was replaced but both our selling agent, onsite manager as well as ourselves noticed a difference in the quality. Our onsite manager stated he is working to correct this issue through the carpet supplier but we have no definitive date to have issue corrected. I look forward to getting all issues we sent to Pulte resolved within the next week. ... Más

My experience was so disappointing, especially with Pulte Mortgage. I loved the location and floor plan of my home, but the only time I felt like I was a client that Pulte was trying to please was during my interior design consultation. They did meet the deadline set for closing, but they did so through obviously rushed final construction details. I initially applied for a very small mortgage with Pulte Mortgage simply to get the promised contribution towards closing costs. However, Pulte ladled on some many junk and excessive fees (both application and processing fees, for example). The week before closing, my loan consultant said everything was on track for closing. Then, the day before closing I was presented with demands for more documentation on a loan to value of only 15% (meaning I had 85% of my home’s value in equity). I finally told them to cancel my loan and funded my purchase from my own funds. I would not recommend an initial purchase through Pulte for any of my friends or family. ... Más

Glue, dirt, cement, absolutely the dirtiest new house ever. Yesterday I was on my hands and knees scraping up glue for 1/2 hr. No pride in workmanship. Received a 175,000 house for 275,000.

Marvin the supervisor is great

Our experience was not good. We closed on a house that had no electric, gas, and roof not completed. Some of the sub-contractors did sloppy work. The construction manager pushed back on many things. I was happy with most of my upgrades, but had to watch them closely as the manager missed putting in some of my contract upgrades. We were out of town, but you really need to be there during their builder process.

I had never had a house built before and would probably not do it again. It was a bummer seeing poor quality products being used on my house and all of the set backs along the way. I couldn't believe the amount of trash and garbage litter through the job site. I couldn't believe how much people just didn't care. My friend built a house too and she has had a tremendous amount of issues with her house. The neighbors all have a story to share.

Make sure you visit the home every week during construction so you can keep up with the stuff that needs to be fixed and that isn't done correctly. The entire process is focussed on saving Pulte money, not on producing a quality product.

Not what I expected from a well known builder

When we signed the purchase agreement I specifically asked the sales person if the home would appraise at that level. She absolutely assured us it would. It fell short by tens of thousands of dollars. The bright side is after shopping for a mortgage and insurance we went with Pulte for both. And though there are lots of minor issues with the house that need attention the customer care person is great at following through.

Texture overspray everywhere, tape, all just painted over and not removed. Refer defective, items still need to be repaired(making a list) and much more. Sales team was great, but that is where it stopped.

Lisa in the Sales office at the development site was very helpful - supportive and quick to respond to questions. Courtney in the Design center was great - attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. Pulte Loan process was laborious, and information requested was far beyond anything any other builder has requested. Construction Manager (CM) was forced by corporate schedule to build too fast and close too quickly - no real chance to address all of the issues discovered at the walk-through conducted before closing. Multiple workmanship and material issues, including carpet, tile, and paint, and ALL trim work throughout the entire house was poorly installed and has defects. Very poor site cleaning maintenance, including beer cans inside of cabinets. These items aren't necessarily the CM's fault - no proper time allowed by corporate schedule to conduct quality checks by other CMs prior to closing, leading to a lot of problems. Even worse, no mention was ever made of quality checks during the build, which was unheard of to us - all previous builders conducted multiple checks during the build process to find and correct mistakes in material or craftsmanship even prior to closing. Warranty Dept. has been slow to respond, and pushed back on many matters instead of taking the proper philosophy of "If I paid so much for a new home, would I be satisfied with the quality?". Understaffed, and overwhelmed by many items that never should have been "warranty" items to begin with - they are having to correct basic initial build issues in many cases. Overall, if we were to be honest with anyone about whether to buy a home here or anywhere else through Pulte, we would discourage them unless they absolutely had to buy in a specific location. Pulte standards are far below any other builder we have dealt with in the past 20 years (4 others) in regards to quality. They claim to have 60 years of experience, but I have not seen any reason to believe they have learned "best practices" and incorporated them into their build process to assist what they claim are so many "new and/or inexperienced" managers and craftsmen. ...

The builder has no desire to build an energy efficient home even though they pretend they are. For example, they do not offer upgrades to energy star appliances. The engineering of the heating and cooling system is incorrect for the modern tight construction of the home. They install only inexpensive single stage systems which are not energy efficient in tight construction. In addition, they do not offer an upgraded filter system for customers with allergy issues. With the short runtimes of a single stage system, humidity levels will not be controlled contributing to mold and mildew issues. The heart of a new home is the HVAC system. The lack of an upgrade option for a more efficient two stage system with proper air quality management rates this builder an "F" grade. ... Más

Pultes customer service representative was not helpful at all. She will find any excuse not to help you with your issues. You have to battle with them to get anything done. Once they have your money, you're on your own.

I dont know that I would recommend this builder to anyone else.
