What Homeowners Have to Say About Del Webb

Overall the home buying experience was great until we did the final walkthrough and noticed many deficiencies with the tile work in both bathrooms. The response has been slow.

The foundation and the wrapping for energy savings are outstanding. Some of the choices for interior items lacked style. Exterior paint colors are limited. We opted for several standard items with the intention of changing them after closing.. I would suggest renting here while in construction to make sure all the features you chose are installed. We did that. Be aware of where your lot is so you don't have too much construction past you, trucks dirt and noise are necessary in new areas. ... More

The home I purchased is really well built in almost every way. However, when they come across a problem that affects many if not most homeowners they tell us what we need to do to fix the problem. In particular they installed a cheap garage door that does not allow for adjustments. Yes I have spoken to multiple Experts and and I am using their words. A new home should have a secure closing garage door. We live in a windy and Sandy area and I have owned 2 other homes in the area and have never had this problem. I expect a number of us will be contacting higher Pulte management to discuss solutions to what is clearly a major problem for many homeowners and the lack of a real solution we have received. Pulte has been very good about fixing the small problems encountered, and the sales staff has been wonderful. ... More

Our builder did a great job keeping us informed weekly on progress of house build. He also addressed any questions or concerns we had in a timely manner. We like our new home. Only wished that we could have made a few extra changes to floor plan (add a sink, add built in shelves in showers, etc.). Pulte mortgage process was easy. ... More

The home is well built and the project manager was excellent. Cabinet and appliances are poor. Even if upgraded from base level. Most cabinets had defects from factory and had to be removed and replaced and all appliances needed warranty repairs immediately . ... More

Good things: the house meets my needs. The design is nice. Bad things: The quality is under my expectations. The repairs take a long time to make.

Have an independent housing inspection before closing.

Take your time and make sure you choose the right options the first time

The best advice I can give is to make sure you know what you are getting. There are many things about the models that are not standard. Do not assume anything you see is going into the home you are contracting for. Go threw the model you like with your sales rep and let him tell you what is in the base price and decide every single upgrade you want. Like outside flood light, can lights in a particular room, under counter garbage cans, an extra outlet somewhere...everything just be spelled out before you sign on the dotted line. Upgrades can easily exceed $70,000. ... More

Has taken several days to have sub contractors fix minor problems. Also several basic home amenities such as garage walls, ceiling and door not insulated and no patio only a stoop was included. Had to contact sub contractor personally to have patio built. ... More

To begin with our construction supervisor was great. This helped in making it better. You have to remember these are not custom homes. They are out up pretty fast. If you can. Live to visit often you are much better off. The worst and really is annoying is the cheap paint. You can't upgrade the paint quality but almost everything else. Since it goes up quite fast and it is contract labor you need to be aware that the walls are not square. In putting in shelves and other items to our house we found walls were off as much as 3/4 inch from top to bottom. The master bedroom was 3/4inch higher on one side of the room. You must remember you are charged for everything above basic. If you are going into a Sun City it is more for the social activities and not so much the house so I have been told. They certainly keep the common areas up and plenty of things to do. With the growth here some worry if it can support all the people. Right now would do things different in upgrades in the house. Look very close to the floor plan and options and would have spent the money for them. ... More

We have only been in our house for 6 weeks. Thus far, it seems to be of very good quality and the responsiveness to issues has also been very good. Value is an interesting proposition to consider. The prices were quite high for the area when we bought, and have been increased a few times since. I guess 'whatever the market will bear' would apply. I'll have to give it one year before accurately assessing the value, depending upon how the house holds up through four seasons, the continued responsiveness and how the community develops/grows. ...

Limited colors and options available for all upgrade categories. No inclination or ability to customize for the buyers.

Our field manager was very helpful. We love the activities and atmosphere at Del Webb Ponte Vedra

We've built several new homes & the quality at Del Webb Homes is not top notch but it's decent. We were really disappointed that since we live the majority of our time out of state & this is a "2nd home" , our 1st water bill was horrendous due to the sprinklers being on a cycle of EVERY DAY 3X A Day before we were able to get them changed!!! Check everything out immediately!! ... More

Disappointed in kitchen cabinetry. Could be so much better easily plus dishwasher is in wrong place. Big mistake! Flooring installation is poor. People are the best thing Pulte has going for it. Everyone is super nice and as helpful as can be under circumstances. Value is not there. Feel that I have paid too much for what I've gotten. ... More

Overall the house makes us smile. Have had problems with buried cables; ac leaks;(still not fixed) loose gas piping connections; some finishing work less than pristine. Our experience with site manager was good. Repairs handled promptly. He consistently showed concern for any problems we were experiencing. Enjoying our new home. ... More

Our experience with Del Webb was generally good except for an instance of their trying to charge for a change order which was necessitated by their mistake. Utilmatelly the charge was removed.

Biggest complaint is windowless bathrooms.

Since buying this house it has had some good experiences and some disappointing experiences, Example: Airtron Air Conditioning does not have a rep to help you with your control panel, after spending 200K+ for this house I think it is not asking too much for the new homeowners. Everyone we talk to in the neighborhood has questions on the AC and Heating system controls. ... More

Jeremy watched over our project from start to finish. Since Marnie left he was our primary contact. Always responsive and corrections were made in a tinely manner. Julie has also been a great resourse for our questions about Britton Falls. Missed having our salesperson available but Jeremy and Julie filled in fine. ... More

Great over 50 lifestyle

Nice home.

Sloppy work in finishing details such as drywall, paint, caulk and cabinetry. However my field manager and punch list contact was very responsive and agreed with my observations. Call backs for repairs would be far less if attention to detail was noted during building and each contractor performed work more responsibly. ... More

WE are generally happy with home, however it does take multiple requests to get small things fixed.
